Civale and the Guardians won't face the White Sox on Sunday after the game was postponed due to unplayable field conditions, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

Due to inclement weather in the Cleveland area, the game was delayed from its scheduled 12:05 p.m. ET start time, only to be officially postponed just over three hours later. The Guardians could use the postponement to reorder their rotation, in which case Civale might have his turn skipped entirely before returning to action next weekend in Seattle. The White Sox and Guardians will make up the postponed game Sept. 15.

Cease and the White Sox won't face the Guardians on Sunday after the game was postponed due to unplayable field conditions, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

Due to inclement weather in the Cleveland area, the game was delayed from its scheduled 12:05 p.m. ET start time, only to be officially postponed just over three hours later. Because he had warmed up prior to the game being cancelled, Cease won't start Monday in Kansas City and will instead make his next start Tuesday in Baltimore, per James Fegan of The Athletic. The White Sox and Guardians will make up Sunday's postponed game Sept. 15.

Overton (back) tweaked his hamstring while ramping up in Arizona and is without a clear timeline to begin a rehab assignment, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Overton has resided on the 60-day injured list since May 23 due to a stress reaction in his lower back, but he was believed to be tracking toward a return at some point in September. Though he hasn't been shut down from throwing and will continue to do long toss, the hamstring issue presents a new hurdle he'll have to overcome before facing hitters and eventually pitching in games. He may not have enough time to build up for a starting role and may be relegated to the bullpen if he rejoins the Reds at any point in 2022.

Perez is on the 7-day injured list at Double-A Pensacola due to arm fatigue, Alex Carver of Fish on the Farm reports.

It seemed like something might be up with Perez when he gave up 13 earned runs over his last 11 innings (three appearances), and the arm issue was likely bothering him, at least in his most recent outing when he gave up six earned runs and recorded just four outs. On the season, the 6-foot-8 righty has a 4.19 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 102 strikeouts in 73 innings while pitching as a 19-year-old at Double-A.

The Mets recalled Butto from Triple-A Syracuse prior to his start Sunday against the Phillies.

Butto is set to make his big-league debut after throwing only six innings with Triple-A. He has spent the majority of the season with Double-A Binghamton, where he maintained a 4.00 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 108:35 K:BB across 92.1 innings. Butto isn't likely to stick in the rotation, as the Mets were in need of an extra starter due to a doubleheader Saturday.

Miley's left shoulder did not respond well after a rehab outing Tuesday, and he has been shut down from throwing, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Miley appeared to be nearing a return to the rotation, but he will now be limited to rest and treatment. The setback will likely put Miley's season in jeopardy, though he could ramp back up to take a few turns through the rotation prior to the close of the campaign.

Severino tossed 25 pitches in a bullpen session Saturday, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.

The side session was the second in as many days for Severino, who threw 30 pitches in the previous trip to the mound Friday. The right-hander is reportedly recovering well, but he's not eligible to come off the injured list until Sept. 12, which is an off day for the Yankees. Severino's next step is to throw a live batting practice session Tuesday, during which he will reportedly face rehabbing slugger Giancarlo Stanton (Achilles), per Marakovits.

Bieber (8-7) took the loss Saturday, allowing one earned run on five hits and three walks over 6.1 innings against the White Sox. He struck out four.

Bieber surrendered his lone earned run on a sixth-inning RBI double from first baseman Jose Abreu. The 27-year-old had recorded four straight wins entering this contest and boasts a 1.62 ERA and 0.96 WHIP in 33.1 innings over his last five starts. Furthermore, the righty has turned in five straight quality starts.

Cueto (6-5) earned the win Saturday, allowing zero runs on five hits and one walk over 8.2 innings against the Guardians. He struck out two.

Cueto allowed just one extra-base hit, in the form of a double from outfielder Oscar Gonzalez, during his dominant performance. The righty has been particularly effective recently with a 1.84 ERA in 58.2 innings over his last eight games, pitching eight innings or more four times and allowing zero homers seven times during that span. The 36-year-old veteran has been awesome on the road this season with a 1.81 ERA in 59.2 innings compared to a 3.36 ERA in 59 innings at home.

Bubic (2-8) took the loss Saturday, allowing four runs on eight hits and two walks over 3.2 innings against Tampa Bay.

Bubic surrendered three doubles, two of which drove in a run -- one off the bat of Taylor Walls and the other from Yandy Diaz. The 25-year-old had been pitching better with a 2.89 ERA in 37.1 innings over his last six starts prior to this contest, and he has not allowed a homer in his last four. The lefty has been much more successful at home during his previous seven outings with a 2.41 ERA in 18.2 innings compared to a 4.43 ERA in 22.1 innings on the road.
