Acker (undisclosed) is on the 7-day injured list at High-A Hickory.

According to Jim Callis of MLB.com, Acker is in extended spring training, so he may just be getting held back as he slowly ramps up in an effort to manage his workload. The 24-year-old righty only logged 25.2 innings split between rookie ball and High-A last season as he returned from Tommy John surgery.

Soroka (hamstring) tossed four innings of one-run ball Tuesday in his second start with Triple-A Gwinnett.

Soroka scattered three hits and two walks while striking out five in the 69-pitch outing. He needed 29 pitches to get through the first inning but only 40 to cover the following three. Soroka became all the more important to Atlanta's overall pitching depth when it was announced Tuesday morning that Ian Anderson is headed for Tommy John surgery.

Rodon's (forearm) rehab has been delayed a few days due to back tightness, Yankees manager Aaron Boone told the Talkin' Yanks podcast Tuesday.

It's wouldn't appear to be a major setback, but Rodon has had to hit pause on his throwing program. The left-hander had been slated to throw live batting practice Monday, but that apparently didn't transpire. Once Rodon begins throwing live BP, he's expected to be about a month away from joining the Yankees' rotation.

Anderson (elbow) will require Tommy John surgery, Jeff Passan and Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com report.

Anderson was placed on the injured list at Triple-A Gwinnett last Tuesday after struggling in his first start there, and he has since been diagnosed with a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow. The 24-year-old will be sidelined until sometime in 2024. He was excellent for Atlanta between 2020-2021 before stumbling to a 5.00 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 97:54 K:BB in 111.2 major-league innings (22 starts) last season.

Rockies manager Bud Black suggested that Marquez will likely undergo an MRI on his right forearm Tuesday, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.

Marquez made an early exit from his start Monday night against the Cardinals after experiencing some forearm tightness while warming up before the top of the sixth inning. Black called the early departure "precautionary" but added the 28-year-old right-hander would have to be reevaluated Tuesday, possibly with imaging scans. More should be known soon enough as to the severity of the injury.

Webb (0-3) took the loss Monday, allowing four runs on six hits and one walk over six innings in a 9-1 defeat to the Dodgers. He struck out six.

Webb struggled with the long ball again, serving up a solo shot to Mookie Betts in the first and a three-run homer to Max Muncy in the third. Through three starts (17 innings), the right-hander has given up 12 earned runs on 19 hits, including four home runs, but his 22:3 K:BB is still encouraging.

Urias (3-0) earned the win during Monday's 9-1 victory over the Giants, allowing one run on four hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out eight.

Urias got early run support from the Dodgers' offense, and aside from a solo home run by Wilmer Flores in the fourth, he cruised through six innings and secured his third win in as many tries. The left-hander has gone exactly six innings in each of his first three outings, totaling 20 strikeouts to just two walks while posting a spectacular 1.50 ERA and 0.83 WHIP. Urias' next start is tentatively scheduled for L.A.'s weekend set against the Cubs.

Suarez did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing four runs on 10 hits and one walk over four innings during a 6-4 loss to the Nationals. He struck out two.

Suarez was given early run support, but he wasn't able to hold onto the lead and was tagged for three runs in the fourth, which tied the game at 4-4. The left-hander is coming off back-to-back sub-4.00 ERA seasons, but he's struggled to start the 2023 campaign, allowing 11 runs on 18 hits over his two starts (8.1 innings).

Corbin (1-2) earned the win during Monday's 6-4 win over the Angels, allowing four runs on seven hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out three.

Corbin was shaky in the first and ultimately got tagged for two runs on a single by Luis Rengifo. The left-hander also surrendered two runs in the third off a solo shot from Hunter Renfroe and an RBI double by Gio Urshela. However, Corbin was able to settle down after that and secured a win thanks to five unanswered runs from Washington's offense. Through three starts (14 innings), Corbin holds an ugly 7.71 ERA and has just nine strikeouts compared to six walks.

Miley (1-1) took the loss Monday, allowing three runs on five hits and three walks over five innings against the Diamondbacks. He struck out three.

Arizona got on the on the board in the first with an RBI single by Josh Rojas, but Miley was able to settle in after that and tossed three scoreless frames before surrendering a two-run shot to Christian Walker in the fifth. The left-hander was able to get out of his final inning by retiring Evan Longoria, but his mediocre start wasn't good enough, as the Brewers were blanked by Zac Gallen. Across two starts (11 innings), Miley has given up 10 hits, three walks and three runs while striking out six. His next start is tentatively scheduled against San Diego, which should be an interesting challenge for the veteran.
