Ray (9-4) took the loss Sunday against Toronto, allowing five runs on five hits and five walks across 4.1 innings. He struck out three.

It was a tough outing for Ray, who gave up a season-high five runs while matching another season high with five walks. The veteran left-hander had been pitching well prior to the All-Star break, working to a 2.02 ERA in his previous four starts (26.2 innings). Overall, Ray sports a 2.92 ERA with a 1.13 WHIP and 131 strikeouts through 21 starts (123.1 innings) this season. He'll look to get back on track his next time out, currently scheduled to come next week at home against the Mets.

Schlittler (arm) said he felt good after Saturday's bullpen session and is scheduled to start Tuesday against the Blue Jays, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

The right-hander was originally scheduled to start Friday's second-half opener against Atlanta, but he was pushed back due to arm soreness. Schlittler didn't have any issues during the bullpen session, clearing the way for him to rejoin the starting rotation during the upcoming week. The 24-year-old gave up three earned runs with a 7:2 K:BB over 5.1 frames in his major-league debut July 9 versus Seattle.

Berrios (6-4) earned the win Sunday over the Giants, allowing four runs on eight hits and a walk over 5.2 innings. He struck out five.

Berrios was solid early, holding San Francisco to one run through his first four innings, though he'd allow another three runs in his final 1.2 frames, capped by a Matt Chapman two-run homer with two outs in the sixth. Despite the rocky finish, Berrios eventually came away with the win, his fourth in his last six outings. The right-hander sports a 3.87 ERA through 21 starts (121 innings) this season with a 1.26 WHIP and 102:42 K:BB. Berrios is currently lined up to face the Tigers on the road his next time out.

Springs (8-7) took the loss Sunday against Cleveland, allowing five runs on nine hits over four innings. He struck out four and did not issue a walk.

Springs got off to a rocky start, giving up a run before registering an out in the first inning. Things unraveled further in the fourth, when he allowed the bases to load up and then served up a bases-clearing double to David Fry, turning a manageable deficit into a decisive blow. The loss snaps a short streak of quality outings for the left-hander, whose ERA has now climbed to 4.18 with a 1.22 WHIP and 90:38 K:BB over 114 innings this season.

Williams (6-4) earned the win Sunday against the Athletics, allowing one run on four hits and one walk while striking out 11 over seven innings.

Williams was in complete control from the jump, racking up seven strikeouts over the first three innings alone and finishing the day with season highs in both punchouts and innings pitched. The 24-year-old right-hander bounced back in impressive fashion, particularly with his command, after issuing 12 walks over his previous three starts entering Sunday. He'll carry a 3.54 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 106:58 K:BB into his next outing, scheduled for Friday against the Royals, and he'll look to build on this momentum as the second half of the season unfolds.

McGreevy will be recalled from Triple-A Memphis to start Monday against the Rockies, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

It was reported in early July that the Cardinals were considering promoting the right-hander to replace Erick Fedde in the starting rotation, but McGreevy will instead fill the rotation spot of Matthew Liberatore, who is having his start skipped for workload considerations. McGreevy has a 4.22 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 16:3 K:BB over 21.1 frames in the majors this season. He's likely to receive an extended look in the rotation at some point down the stretch, but it remains to be seen if Monday's outing will be a spot start or the beginning of a longer audition.

The Cardinals are giving Liberatore extra rest coming out of the All-Star break in order to manage his workload, and he's tentatively expected to make his next start Saturday against the Padres, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

The left-hander lined up to take the mound Monday in Colorado, but St. Louis will instead call up prospect Michael McGreevy to pitch. Liberatore is healthy but has already thrown 100.1 innings this season, which is a significant bump in his workload after operating as a swingman in each of the previous two seasons. He's been a quality rotation piece for the Cardinals in 2025 with a 4.13 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 80:22 K:BB through 18 starts.

The Reds have returned Spiers (shoulder) from his minor-league rehab assignment due to right bicep soreness, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

Spiers landed on the injured list due to a right shoulder impingement April 20 and was transferred to the 60-day IL in late May. He appeared to be nearing activation, as the right-hander began a rehab assignment July 3 and worked up to 75 pitches over 3.1 frames in his most recent outing Saturday, but he's experienced a setback due to an issue with his right bicep. It's unclear how much more time Spiers will need to miss as a result.

Bradish (elbow) will report to High-A Aberdeen on Thursday to make his first rehab start, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Bradish made it through a two-inning simulated game Saturday without issue, and he'll now take the next step in his recovery from last June's Tommy John surgery with an internal brace. Prior to sustaining his elbow injury, Bradish opened the 2024 campaign in impressive fashion with a 2.75 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 53:15 K:BB through 39.1 innings over eight starts. Expectations for the 28-year-old righty should be tempered upon his eventual return from the 60-day injured list, however, as he could need time to regain his pre-surgery velocity and command.

Povich (hip) is slated to make his next rehab start Thursday or Friday with Triple-A Norfolk, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

His rehab stint was initially paused in late June due to renewed soreness in his hip, but Povich resumed the assignment July 13. He's pitched effectively in his last two outings between High-A Aberdeen and Norfolk, covering 6.1 innings over those starts while striking out nine and allowing one earned run on three hits and one walk. He tossed 62 pitches Saturday for Norfolk, so the southpaw will likely look to push his pitch count into the 70-80 range next week, setting him up to potentially rejoin the big-league rotation afterward.
