Texas manager Chris Woodward said a best-case scenario would be that Gray (left side discomfort) misses just one start, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Gray was removed from Monday's start after 48 pitches with what the right-hander initially described as cramping in his left side. Gray is expected to undergo a scan, and the Rangers should have an update after a review of the results. If the 30-year-old misses one or multiple starts, the Rangers don't have many good options to fill in. Taylor Hearn, who has bounced between the rotation and the bullpen, as well as the majors and the minors, could be used as a stopgap.

Henry was added to the taxi squad for Arizona's series in Cleveland, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

The left-handed Henry could see action in the majors as early as Wednesday. The Diamondbacks changed their scheduled starter for that day from Madison Bumgarner to "TBA." Henry has a respectable 3.83 ERA over 20 starts for Triple-A Reno in the Pacific Coast League this season.

Corbin (4-15) took the loss against the Mets on Monday, pitching 4.1 innings and allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out four batters.

Corbin gave up three runs in the second inning and another in the third before being pulled with one out in the fifth frame. The left-hander racked up 12 swinging strikes but was done in by allowing five two-out hits. Corbin has struggled most of the season, but his problems have really been emphasized over his past five outings. During that stretch, he's registered a 10.29 ERA and 2.19 WHIP while taking five losses over 21 innings.

Gonzales (6-11) took the loss against the Yankees on Monday, pitching 5.1 innings and allowing six runs on nine hits and three walks while striking out five batters.

Gonzales fell behind early in the contest, surrendering a three-run home run to Anthony Rizzo in the first inning. He gave up a two-run shot to Aaron Judge in the second and a solo homer to Jose Trevino in the fourth, and all six of the runs against him came via the long ball. This was the third time in Gonzales' past four outings that he's given up at least five runs, and his season ERA has risen from 3.24 to 3.95 as a result of the poor stretch.

The Pirates acquired Oviedo and infielder Malcom Nunez from the Cardinals on Monday in exchange for left-hander Jose Quintana and right-hander Chris Stratton.

Oviedo has filled a versatile role for the Cardinals, posting a 3.20 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 26:7 K:BB across 25.1 innings. He should function as a multi-inning reliever in Pittsburgh's bullpen going forward.

German (1-1) earned the win over Seattle on Monday, allowing two runs on six hits and three walks while striking out one batter over five innings.

German was far from dominant in the outing, as he struck out only one batter and walked three. However, the right-hander was able to keep the damage on the scoreboard to two runs and got plenty of support from his offense to notch his first victory in his third start of the campaign. Since returning from the injured list July 21, German has given up 13 runs (nine earned) over 12.2 innings while posting a 10:6 K:BB. It's unclear if he'll remain in the rotation given the Yankees' acquisition of Frankie Montas on Monday.

Luzardo (2-4) took the loss against Cincinnati on Monday, allowing two runs on three hits and no walks while striking out five batters over five innings.

Luzardo made his first major-league appearance since May 10 and was able to stick around for 81 pitches, 49 of which were strikes. He gave up a pair of runs in the second inning but held the Reds scoreless in each of his other four frames; however, he received little support from his offense and was tagged with the loss. It was nonetheless a positive return for Luzardo, who had previously been on the 60-day IL with a forearm strain. He should be a fixture in the Marlins rotation for the rest of the season barring any further injury issues.

Webb (9-5) allowed six runs on eight hits, a walk and a hit batsman while striking out just two in five innings as he took the loss versus the Dodgers on Monday.

Webb had a run of eight straight quality starts in June and July, but his last two outings have been less than impressive. He gave up a two-run home run to Max Muncy in the second inning and then let the Dodgers cobble together a three-run rally in the third. He was also tagged for one more run in the fifth. The six runs allowed were a season high for Webb, who now has a 3.20 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 110:34 K:BB through 135 innings in 22 starts. The good news is that outings like this have been rare for the right-hander, who is projected for a much more favorable road start in Oakland this weekend.

Heaney allowed a run on four hits, two walks and a hit batsman while striking out seven in four innings in a no-decision versus the Giants on Monday.

Heaney had a sloppy first inning, walking in a run before settling down for the rest of his short start. He exited after 74 pitches (55 strikes), making little progress in stretching out after a 71-pitch outing last Wednesday. The southpaw has recorded at least seven strikeouts in three of his five starts this year, and he's yet to allow more than one earned run. For the season, he has a 0.77 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 34:9 K:BB through 23.1 innings. Heaney is projected for a tough home start versus the Padres this weekend.

Greene (4-12) earned the win over Miami on Monday, allowing one hit and no walks while striking out eight batters over six scoreless innings.

Greene has shown flashes of brilliance at times this season, and his talent was on full display in his dominance of the Marlins on Monday. The rookie allowed only one hit -- a third-inning single -- though he also plunked two batters. Despite his 5.26 ERA on the campaign, Greene has shown that he can have this type of performance on other occasions; in fact, this was his third start of at least six innings and one hit or fewer this season. Greene's win total and ratios haven't been great in his first major-league campaign, but he ranks 10th in the league with 127 strikeouts over 102.2 innings.
