Strider's start versus the Tigers on Tuesday was postponed due to inclement weather, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

The game will be made up on Wednesday with a straight doubleheader in Detroit. Strider should be on the hill for one of those two games, with Reese Olson -- his scheduled opponent on Tuesday -- also likely to go Wednesday.

Painter (elbow) threw a 20-pitch bullpen session Tuesday at the Phillies' spring training complex in Florida, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Painter is now scheduled to throw another bullpen session Friday. The right-hander is making steady progress from the sprained UCL that has sidelined him throughout the 2023 campaign. Painter will likely need a few more bullpen sessions before starting a rehab assignment, but he does have a chance to make starts for Philadelphia before the season comes to a conclusion.

Rogers (biceps) was returned from his rehab assignment and transferred to the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

After Rogers was scratched from his rehab start with Triple-A Jacksonville due to discomfort in his non-throwing shoulder Saturday, the left-hander was moved to the 60-day IL. It's unclear whether the transaction was made due to his preexisting biceps injury or the new right shoulder ailment, but the move opens a spot on the 40-man roster for Archie Bradley on the 40-man roster, who had his contract selected by the Marlins on Tuesday. Rogers remains eligible be activated off of the injured list next Tuesday (June 20), though more information on his status will likely come in the near future.

Quintana (ribs) threw 1.1 scoreless innings in his rehab debut Tuesday with Low-A St. Lucie, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Quintana scattered two hits and one walk in the 26-pitch outing. Mets manager Buck Showalter has stated that the veteran left-hander will need to be extended to five innings on the farm before he is activated, which figures to take at least three more rehab starts. Quintana is on the road back from March bone-graft surgery on his rib cage.

Maeda (triceps) is slated to make another rehab start Friday with Triple-A St. Paul, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

It will be his fourth rehab start, and possibly his final one. Out since late April due to a right triceps strain, Maeda has scattered two runs over nine innings so far with St. Paul. He's racked up 13 strikeouts against only one walk while working through some mechanical misalignments that stem back to his initial return from Tommy John surgery.

Brewers manager Craig Counsell said Miley (lat) will return from the 15-day injured list to start Saturday's game against the Pirates, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Miley proved his health while tallying five strikeouts over five scoreless innings in a rehab outing this past Sunday with Double-A Biloxi. He had posted a solid 3.67 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in 41.2 innings (eight starts) with the Brewers before landing on the injured list in mid-May due to a posterior serratus strain around the left side of his rib cage.

Steele (forearm) is throwing a bullpen session Tuesday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Steele appears to be tracking toward a return from the 15-day injured list when first eligible this Saturday against the Orioles, assuming the Cubs aren't going to ask him to make a minor-league rehab start. The 27-year-old has progressed without issue so far in his recovery from a mild left forearm strain.

Urquidy (shoulder) said Tuesday that he thinks he could begin throwing off a mound by this weekend, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Urquidy began throwing on flat ground a couple weeks ago and is almost ready to test things out from the bump. The veteran hurler is coming back from right shoulder inflammation, an injury which landed him on the IL at the beginning of May.

Texas optioned Ragans to Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Ragans yielded four runs -- three earned -- over just 1.2 innings of relief in Monday night's loss to the Angels. He carries a 5.92 ERA in 17 major-league appearances this year.

Rodriguez (finger) has been increasing the intensity of his flat-ground throwing sessions, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Working his way back from a ruptured A4 pulley in his left index finger, Rodriguez began a throwing program a week ago and has been ramping things up slowly but surely. He hasn't been cleared for mound work yet, but that would seem to be around the corner. The left-hander could rejoin the Tigers' rotation sometime around the beginning of July, although that's a rough timetable.
