Quantrill will be placed on the 15-day injured list Friday due to right shoulder inflammation, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

Quantrill's shoulder injury could help explain his recent struggles, as he allowed eight runs through 4.1 innings during his last start Tuesday. He received an injection Thursday and will be shut down for a few days before beginning a throwing program. Quantrill's move to the IL will make room for Aaron Civale (oblique) to return Friday.

Walker (4-3) took the loss Thursday, allowing three runs on two hits and three walks over four innings against the Mets. He struck out two.

Walker pitched fairly well for three innings in his return to Citi Field, but Mark Canha's two-run homer in the third would be enough to tag him with the loss. The 30-year-old Walker has been inconsistent in his first season with the Phillies, though he's held opponents to three runs or fewer in five of his last six starts. Walker sports a 5.65 ERA with a 1.45 WHIP and 45:26 K:BB through 12 starts (57.1 innings) this year.

Reds manager David Bell said Thursday that Lodolo (leg) will remain in a walking boot for the next two weeks, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

This update from Bell stems from a scheduled two-week checkup on the stress reaction in Lodolo's left tibia. There's no timetable yet for when he might resume throwing, and it's safe to say now that it won't happen before mid-June. With the buildup required once he does finally pick up a baseball again, the 25-year-old left-hander can probably be ruled out until sometime around the All-Star break.

Peralta (5-5) took the loss Thursday in Toronto after he gave up three runs on six hits with three strikeouts and two walks over six innings.

Peralta surrendered a solo shot and a two-run homer during the opening frame, which was enough to pin him with the loss since the Brewers' offense managed just a single run. The 26-year-old held the Blue Jays scoreless from there, but it's the second straight start in which he's allowed multiple long balls. He's also failed to record more than five strikeouts in any of his past five outings. Peralta has yet to find much consistency this year with a 4.62 ERA and 61:25 K:BB through 60.1 innings.

Gausman (4-3) struck out 11 and allowed five hits and two walks across 6.2 scoreless innings to earn the win Thursday against the Brewers.

The right-hander produced 34 called or swinging strikes as he shut down Milwaukee to help deliver a series win for Toronto. Gausman has been dominant over his past five starts and has given up just five earns runs with 42 strikeouts during that span. The 32-year-old has a 2.76 ERA and 100:18 K:BB through 75 innings this season, and he tentatively lines up for a matchup with the Astros next week.

Clevinger (wrist) is expected to return from the 15-day injured list to start Friday's series opener versus the Tigers at Guaranteed Rate Field, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Jesse Scholtens had been serving as the White Sox's No. 5 starter since Clevinger landed on the IL on May 21, but manager Pedro Grifol's decision to use Scholtens in long relief behind Lance Lynn in Wednesday's loss to the Angels signals that Clevinger is on track to be activated this weekend. Since Clevinger tossed a simulated game Monday, Grifol acknowledged that he may look to shave about 10 pitches off the right-hander's normal workload if he does in fact get the green light to start Friday on three days' rest.

Colorado activated Davis (elbow) from the 15-day injured Thursday and optioned him to Triple-A Albuquerque.

Davis has moved past the right elbow inflammation that sent him to the injured list April 30, but the Rockies will keep him on the farm for now. He tossed four scoreless innings on 58 pitches in a rehab start Wednesday with Albuquerque. The 26-year-old had struggled to a 6.17 ERA in three major-league starts (11.2 innings) prior to the IL stint.

Rodon (back/forearm) was transferred Thursday from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list.

This is mostly just a procedural move to clear out a 40-man roster spot for Tommy Kahnle, who is recovered from a bout of biceps tendinitis and has been activated off the 60-day IL in a corresponding move. Rodon remains without a timetable to return from his lingering back and forearm injuries, though he did recently resume throwing off a mound and has another bullpen session scheduled for Friday.

Teheran evened his record at 1-1 after tossing six innings and allowing one unearned run in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jays. He scattered four hits and failed to strike out a batter while issuing no walks.

Three of the hits Teheran allowed went for extra bases, though one was a run-scoring triple off the bat of Kevin Kiermaier, who hit a soft flyball that was badly misplayed by Brewers outfielder Brian Anderson. Though Teheran hasn't pitched as well his 0.82 ERA and 0.82 WHIP through his first two starts with Milwaukee would indicate, he's been able to find the strike zone consistently and has eschewed hard contact for the most part. He's not making many bats miss, however; he's generated a poor 5.6 percent swinging-strike rate across 162 pitches over his two outings.

Montas (shoulder) began a throwing program Tuesday, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

Montas had been shut down for 14 weeks following arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder back in late February. The right-hander has professed a desire to return this season and has a shot to do so, although it likely wouldn't be before September and it's not clear what kind of role he might be able to fill. Montas is slated to hit free agency after the season.
