Triple-A Indianapolis placed Burrows (forearm) on its 7-day injured list April 11.

Burrows' move to the IL was fully expected after Pirates general manager Ben Cherington disclosed that the right-hander suffered a forearm injury in his second outing of the season for Indianapolis back on April 8. The 23-year-old is without a definitive timeline for a return.

Bello (0-1) took the loss Monday, allowing five runs on eight hits with one walk over 2.2 innings against the Angels. He struck out five.

The 23-year-old began his season debut by yielding a three-run blast to Hunter Renfroe in the first inning. Bello would end his day with five earned runs but showed promise as he struck out five batters before being forced to exit the game due to an extended rain delay. Despite the disappointing performance, the right-hander will have a chance to redeem himself in his next start, scheduled for this weekend against Milwaukee.

DeGrom (wrist) will be re-evaluated Tuesday and hopes to make his next start this weekend against the Athletics, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

He said the wrist soreness that popped up early in his start Monday against the Royals got a bit worse as the night wore on and he didn't want to change his mechanics and create a bigger issue for himself. DeGrom said after the game that he could have kept pitching and hopes to make his next start, but more information on his status will become available after he's re-evaluated. Before departing Monday's 4-0 victory, deGrom struck out five and issued one walk over four shutout no-hit innings, but he didn't work long enough to qualify for the win.

Greene (tibia contusion) said he hopes to make his next start, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

His right leg tightened up in between innings after he was hit by a comebacker, but X-rays were negative. Greene tossed three scoreless innings with one strikeout against the Rays before his night was cut short. If Greene can stay on turn, he would line up to pitch this weekend in Pittsburgh.

Mets manager Buck Showalter said that Verlander (shoulder) will throw another bullpen session Tuesday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Verlander completed his first bullpen session since suffering a low-grade teres major muscle strain just before Opening Day on Saturday, and it's a positive sign he's scheduled to throw another bullpen a few days later. The right-hander will need to make at least one rehab start before returning to the Mets' rotation, but it does appear the reigning AL Cy Young winner has a chance to make starts for New York by the end of April.

The Rangers announced that deGrom left Monday's start against the Royals with right wrist soreness, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports. He allowed no runs and no hits over four innings with one walk and five strikeouts before exiting.

It was a dominant effort for deGrom before exiting with 39-of-58 pitches landing for strikes. Dane Dunning took over in relief for the right-hander. The Rangers are calling his exit precautionary, but fantasy managers will want to pay close attention to see if the wrist soreness will require the ace to miss any amount of time.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Monday that Pepiot (oblique) has yet to resume a throwing program, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports. "Ryan is just doing one-arm plyos [at extended spring training] in Arizona," Roberts said. "We're all kind of miffed at the slow progress. He's still not throwing a baseball."

The right-hander has been on the injured list just before the start of the season with a left oblique strain, and an injury that was expected to keep him out for a couple of weeks will now likely sideline the 25-year-old until the end of month.

Greene left Monday's game against the Rays with a right tibia contusion, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports. X-rays returned negative.

Greene was hit hard by a comebacker in the second inning against Tampa Bay, and while he was able to continue for one more inning, the bruise left him unable to continue. The hard-throwing right-hander should be considered day-to-day, and it's a positive development that there was no structural damage found during the imaging.

Greene left Monday's start against the Rays with an apparent injury, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports. He allowed no runs over three scoreless innings with no walks and one strikeout before exiting.

Greene was hit in the shin area by a comebacker, and while he initially was able to stay in the contest, he was forced to exit an inning later. Greene will likely undergo imaging to make sure there's no structural damage, and there should be an update on his status before Tuesday's game against Tampa Bay. Buck Farmer has replaced Greene on the mound.

Gonsolin (ankle) threw a 30-pitch bullpen session before Monday's game against the Mets and is scheduled to throw four innings in a rehab start for Triple-A Oklahoma City, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Gonsolin will need to make at least one more rehab start after that effort for Oklahoma City before returning to the Dodgers. The talented starter has yet to make his season debut after suffering a sprained left ankle during Cactus League play. If all goes well, Gonsolin could be a member of the Dodgers' rotation in the early part of May.
