Sanchez (shoulder) has yet to resume throwing, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Sanchez had been scheduled to throw off a mound late last month. It's not clear whether that session got cancelled or it happened and he had another setback, but either way Sanchez is shut down again. The righty hasn't made a game appearance at any level since 2020 due to several shoulder problems.

The White Sox placed Lynn on the bereavement list Monday, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Lynn was deactivated one day after posting a career-best 16-strikeout game against the Mariners. Per MLB rules, players have to spent at least three days and no more than seven days on the bereavement list, so Lynn could be ready to pitch the next time his turn in the rotation comes up this weekend versus the Red Sox. Even after his stellar outing Sunday, Lynn still holds a 6.51 ERA and 1.51 WHIP over 15 starts this season.

Gasser went 3-0 with a 2.42 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 27:4 K:BB in 26.0 innings over his last four starts with Triple-A Nashville.

Gasser owned a 5.36 ERA as recently as May 30, but thanks to his latest stretch that mark has fallen more than a full run since. He is one of the better pitching prospects in Milwaukee's system, and if he can continue limiting the walks -- and in turn the runs -- he could garner consideration should the Brewers need to bring up a starter from the minors.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Sunday that Houck will be re-evaluated later this week before a determination is made regarding whether he'll need surgery to address a fracture on the right side of his face, ESPN.com reports.

Cora commented on the matter shortly after Houck was placed on the 15-day injured list Sunday, two days after he exited his start against the Yankees when he struck just below his right eye by a line drive off the bat of Kyle Higashioka. Houck received stitches to seal the wound on his face, but it's not yet clear if the fracture will require surgical intervention or if the injury will be able to heal on its own. If surgery is deemed necessary, Houck's potential return timeline will likely be pushed back further.

Ortiz did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing one run on four hits and three walks over 4.2 innings against the Brewers. He struck out six.

Ortiz tied his season high with six strikeouts and allowed just one run, but he couldn't get through the fifth inning, snapping a two-game streak. The right-hander continues to struggle with walks, allowing multiple free passes in seven straight appearances. During that stretch, Ortiz boasts a 4.41 ERA, 1.74 WHIP and an ugly 25:19 K:BB. With numerous injuries to Pittsburgh's pitching staff, Oritz figures to have a steady role in the rotation moving forward, and his next start is lined up for a road matchup versus Miami.

Peralta did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing two runs on two hits and three walks over six innings in a 5-2 victory over Pittsburgh. He struck out nine.

Peralta recorded at least nine strikeouts for just the third time this season and notched his eighth quality start of the year. Despite the strong outing Sunday, the right-hander continues to struggle with the long ball, allowing at least one home run in seven straight appearances (10 total). During that stretch, Peralta holds a 6.06 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 4.0 BB/9, but he's still been striking batters out at high rate, totaling 38 strikeouts over his last 35.2 innings (9.6 K/9). Peralta remains a steady part of Milwaukee's rotation, and his next start is lined up for a road matchup against the Guardians.

Quintana (ribs) gave up two unearned runs on two hits over 3.1 innings for Single-A St. Lucie on Sunday. He struck out four without walking a batter.

Saturday's game between St. Lucie and Palm Beach was suspended after one inning due to rain, so Quintana took the mound for the second inning when play resumed Sunday rather than starting the officially scheduled contest later in the day. The 34-year-old southpaw built up to 46 pitches (30 strikes), and assuming he stays on schedule his next rehab outing would come Friday, likely against stiffer competition. Quintana has yet to make his Mets debut after signing a two-year, $26 million contract with the team in the offseason, but he appears to be on track to join the big-league rotation in early July.

Wesneski allowed one run across three innings of relief in Sunday's loss to the Orioles. He gave up three hits and struck out two.

Wesneski covered the last three innings of the game in a long-relief role and kept the Cubs around in an eventual 6-3 defeat. The righty has bookended two good appearances around two bad performances his last four games, giving him a 5.65 ERA across 14.1 innings in the span. That includes allowing five runs over three innings his last time out June 11. For the season, Wesneski is sitting with a 5.20 ERA. He may be able to reenter the rotation at some point, though for now he figures to keep working as a long reliever, which limits his fantasy appeal.

Bassitt did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing five runs on seven hits and three walks over 3.2 innings in an 11-7 loss against Texas. He struck out two.

Bassitt failed to get through the fourth inning for the second straight start, getting yanked at 73 pitches after giving up four hits, a walk and a run in the fourth frame. Sunday's start was yet another hiccup for Bassitt, who has struggled mightily in recent starts after a solid beginning to 2023, sporting a 6.84 ERA with six homers allowed over his last five starts (26.1 innings). He'll look to get back on track next week in an expected matchup with Oakland.

Gray did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing six runs on six hits and three walks over 2.1 innings against the Blue Jays. He struck out two.

Gray struggled mightily Sunday, lasting just 2.1 innings after throwing seven or more frames in five of his previous six appearances. Over that six-start stretch, Gray posted a 1.99 ERA to pair with a 46:9 K:BB across 45.1 innings. Considering he hadn't allowed more than four runs in a game prior to Sunday's start, fantasy managers should expect Gray to bounce back. However, he's tentatively lined up for a tough start against the Yankees at Yankee Stadium next week.
