Rogers (biceps) is scheduled to throw three innings in an extended spring training game Thursday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Rogers tossed 35 pitches in a bullpen session over the weekend, and he is ready to advance to the next step in his recovery. A rehab assignment is likely in the cards, so a May return to the big leagues should not be expected. However, he may be ready to rejoin Miami's rotation at some point next month.

Cueto (biceps) is playing catch up to 105 feet and will be "reevaluated for mound activity later this week," Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Cueto resumed playing catch last week, and it may not be long until he is ready to take the next step in his recovery. The Marlins figure to release another update on his status after he undergoes his next check-up.

Teheran opted out of his minor-league contract with the Padres on Monday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Teheran re-signed with the Padres after opting out of his minor-league deal earlier this month, but he seems unlikely to do so after exercising an opt-out clause again. The veteran right-hander holds a 5.62 ERA and 45:16 K:BB over 40 innings with Triple-A El Paso.

Webb (back) will make his next scheduled start Thursday in Milwaukee, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Webb dealt with some lower-back soreness during his last start Saturday against the Marlins, but tests came back clean and he's expected to be fine. The right-hander will carry a 2.91 ERA into Thursday's outing versus the Brewers.

Urias (hamstring) is slated to throw a bullpen session this weekend in Tampa Bay, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Monday that he's "hopeful" Urias will rejoin the rotation in early June against the Yankees when first eligible. The veteran left-hander landed on the injured list over the weekend following a poor start in St. Louis, but it sounds like he won't miss much time if he progresses as hoped.

Kershaw was placed on the bereavement list by the Dodgers on Monday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Kershaw's mother recently passed, so he'll have some time for mourning. He is not expected to miss a start, putting the lefty in line to take the ball this weekend in Tampa Bay.

The Dodgers recalled Stone from Triple-A Oklahoma City ahead of his scheduled start Monday in Atlanta, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Stone will pick up his second MLB start Monday and will have an opportunity to prove he should stick around with the big club as the Dodgers battle injuries in their rotation. The right-hander struggled in his major-league debut earlier this month, though he pitched better upon returning to Oklahoma City. Stone's upside warrants him being rostered in most leagues, though it may be wise for those in daily-moves formats to keep him on the bench for Monday's outing.

Davies (oblique) will throw a bullpen session Wednesday before the Diamondbacks determine whether he'll be activated or make another rehab start, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Davies struck out seven over 4.2 scoreless innings for Double-A Amarillo over the weekend. Assuming he comes out of Wednesday's bullpen session with no issues, he would appear likely to rejoin Arizona's rotation as soon as this weekend.

Rea will start for the Brewers in Tuesday's game against the Astros, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Rea was recalled from Triple-A Nashville over the weekend and was initially expected to operate as a long-relief option, but he'll be thrust back into the rotation after Eric Lauer (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday. In seven appearances (six starts) with the big club this season, Rea has gone 0-3 with a 5.52 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 25:13 K:BB across 31 frames.

Anderson is slated to start Monday's game against the Marlins at Coors Field.

After being poached off waivers from the Rays on May 12, Anderson moved into the Colorado rotation a few days later and provided a big lift for a shorthanded pitching staff. He took a no-decision in his team debut but did his part to keep the Rockies competitive with the Reds, working five scoreless frames and striking out three while allowing only two baserunners. Anderson will get the chance to build on that performance while he kicks off what will likely be a two-start week; his second turn is expected to come Saturday versus the Mets, also at Coors Field.
