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.

Grove (groin) tossed 4.1 innings for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday, allowing two runs on three hits and one walk while striking out seven batters.

Grove gave up a pair of solo homers in the outing but otherwise pitched very well. This was his first appearance in a game since he tossed three innings for the big-league Dodgers against the Cubs on April 20. It's not yet certain if the organization plans to have Grove make multiple rehab appearances or if he'll be called up to the majors for his next start. The right-hander tossed 64 pitches Sunday, so he's not quite ready for a full workload, but the Dodgers suddenly find themselves in need of starting pitching with Julio Urias (hamstring) and Dustin May (forearm) recently moved to the injured list. Rookies Gavin Stone and Bobby Miller are starting the first two games of the team's current series in Atlanta.

Glasnow (oblique) is expected to be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Saturday's game versus the Dodgers, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

He would be available on regular rest Friday, but Glasnow and the rest of the Rays' rotation members will get an extra day of rest while Cooper Criswell serves as a bulk reliever in the series opener with the Dodgers. Glasnow allowed just one run while posting a 20:5 K:BB over 13.1 innings covering four rehab starts. He threw 67 pitches in his last rehab outing Sunday, so he should be available for 90 or so pitches this weekend in what will be his 2023 MLB debut.

Milwaukee placed Lauer on the 15-day injured list with a right shoulder impingement.

If there's good news here, it's that the injury is to Lauer's non-throwing shoulder. Still, it's unclear at this point how long he might be sidelined, and the Brewers' rotation depth had already been hit hard by injuries. Lauer had been slated to start Thursday against the Giants, but Milwaukee will have to find someone else to take the ball that day.

Clevinger (wrist) believes he'll be able to return following a minimum stay on the 15-day injured list, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Right wrist inflammation landed Clevinger on the IL over the weekend, and the pitcher believes his new gyro slider could have contributed to the injury. He wants to keep throwing the pitch, so Clevinger will work on strengthening his wrist while he's sidelined.

Overton will undergo right elbow surgery Tuesday after encountering a recent setback, Bobby Nightengale of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

The exact nature of the operation isn't clear, but it is expected to end his season. Overton has been sidelined since mid-April with what had been called a right elbow strain. He also missed most of last season with a back injury.

Gaddis was called up from Triple-A Columbus and will start Monday against the White Sox, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.

As expected, Gaddis will join the Guardians ahead of their three-game series with the White Sox on Monday, drawing the start in the series opener. The 25-year-old has struggled to a 6.86 ERA and 1.42 WHIP over 19.2 innings in the big leagues this season, but most of the damage came April 11 against the Yankees, when he surrendered eight runs over three frames. Gaddis will look to kick off his second stint in the big leagues a little better Monday when he takes on a disappointing Chicago team.

Fried (forearm) is close to resuming throwing, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

O'Brien adds of Fried that "it seems realistic to expect him back sometime around the All-Star break," although that's certainly a rough timetable for now. The left-hander landed on the injured list two weeks ago with a strained left forearm and recently was cleared to resume lifting weights. He'll need to go through a full throwing progression and undoubtedly will require a rehab assignment before rejoining Atlanta's rotation.

Glasnow (oblique) covered six innings and struck out six while allowing an earned run on two hits and two walks Sunday in his rehab start for Triple-A Durham.

Making the fourth start of his rehab assignment, Glasnow built up to 67 pitches and once again looked sharp during his time on the mound. The hard-throwing right-hander has been on the shelf all season with a left oblique strain, but he looks like he could return from the 15-day injured list later this week to make his 2023 debut for Tampa Bay. If activated, Glasnow would tentatively line up to make his first start for the Rays either Friday or Saturday versus the Dodgers at Tropicana Field.

Lynch (shoulder) made his fourth rehab start last Wednesday at Triple-A Omaha, covering 3.2 innings and allowing five earned runs on nine hits and zero walks while striking out eight.

Though Lynch didn't have the best results in terms of run prevention, his 8:0 K:BB was a welcome sight, and he was also able to build up to 85 pitches (56 strikes), despite failing to escape the fourth inning. The Royals haven't commented on Lynch's next step, but he looks as though he could be ready to return from the 15-day injured list this week to provide a fresh arm for an injury-laden rotation. Kansas City has only confirmed its starters for Monday (Brady Singer) and Wednesday (Zack Greinke) during its upcoming three-game series versus the Tigers, so Lynch could be a candidate to fill the open spot Tuesday.
