Berrios pitched 5.2 innings, surrendering three runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out seven in Tuesday's win over the Cardinals. He did not factor into the decision.

Berrios surrendered a solo home run to Dylan Carlson in the first inning before giving up two more runs in top of the third frame. The right-hander was later removed with two outs in the sixth inning after he allowed a second baserunner to reach. After surrendering 14 runs over 6.2 frames in his last two starts of June, Berrios has produced a 3.41 ERA with 36 strikeouts over 29 innings in five starts in July. The strong month has his season numbers down to a 5.20 ERA and 1.37 WHIP with 100 punchouts over 107.1 frames in 20 outings.

McClanahan tossed seven innings, giving up two runs on two hits and one walk while striking out seven in the loss to the Orioles on Tuesday. He did not factor into the decision.

McClanahan was able to limit the Orioles to just three baserunners in Tuesday's outing, but both of the hits he surrendered were solo home runs. Cedric Mullins launched a leadoff homer in the bottom of the first and Anthony Santander took the lefty deep for another solo shot in the fourth frame. The two long balls matched the total that McClanahan had allowed over his five prior starts combined. On the bright side, the 25-year-old extended his quality start streak to a remarkable 13 consecutive outings, and he now owns a 1.76 ERA and 0.77 WHIP with 154 punchouts over 117.2 frames through 19 starts this year.

Watkins pitched 5.1 innings, surrendering three runs on 10 hits while striking out four in the win over the Rays. He did not factor into the decision.

Watkins wasn't his sharpest Tuesday, allowing a season-high 10 hits. Overall, he was able to limit the damage to just three runs, most notably giving up a solo home run to Isaac Paredes in the top of the fourth. The long ball was his first surrendered over six starts dating back to May 22. Since the beginning of July, Watkins has produced a 2.35 ERA with 17 strikeouts over 23 innings in four outings. He now owns a 4.03 ERA and 1.41 WHIP with 35 punchouts over 58 frames in 13 starts this season.

Cavalli (finger) will start for Triple-A Rochester on Wednesday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Cavalli exited his last start for Rochester on July 12 with a blister-like issue on his finger, but he'll return to the mound Wednesday for the Red Wings. The 23-year-old, who is Washington's top pitching prospect, has a 4.31 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 74:27 K:BB across 71 innings this year.

Dunning (ankle) was activated from the 15-day injured list and will start Tuesday's game in Seattle.

Dunning was sidelined the past couple weeks with a right ankle impingement, but he will rejoin the Rangers' rotation Tuesday. The 27-year-old covered five innings during his rehab start in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League last week, so he shouldn't face significant workload limitations in his first game back in the majors.

McCullers (forearm) will report to Triple-A Sugar Land to make a rehab start Tuesday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

The right-hander started his rehab assignment Friday with Double-A Corpus Christi, and he threw 40 pitches over two frames in that outing. McCullers will continue to build up his workload Tuesday, and he'll likely require at least two additional rehab starts following that appearance before being cleared for his season debut with the Astros.

Seabold (forearm) was activated from the 15-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.

Seabold landed on the shelf July 8 with a strained forearm, and he's been cleared for game action after recently being deemed ready to face live hitters. The 26-year-old has started three games for the Red Sox this year and has given up 15 earned runs with a 13:5 K:BB over 11.1 innings. He will make his way back to Worcester now that he's healthy.

The Cardinals, according to Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat, will wait a week before deciding whether or not Matz will need surgery on his injured left knee.

It was reported Sunday that Matz has a torn MCL in his left knee, and if he goes under the knife he will miss the rest of the season. There remains a chance he could recover without undergoing a procedure, though, and the Cardinals will wait and see how things play out. While he could still pitch again in 2022, Matz is looking at a minimum 4-to-6 week absence regardless of the final decision that is made.

Shuster was promoted to Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Shuster shined at the Double-A level this season, posting a 2.68 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 106:22 K:BB over 90.2 innings, so Atlanta decided to bump him up to the Triple-A ranks. Shuster will turn 24 in early August, so there's a chance this is not his final promotion of the season.

Gore (elbow) was placed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.

Gore left Monday's outing with a sore left elbow, and while it's not yet clear exactly what type of injury he is dealing with, he will miss at least two weeks. Dinelson Lamet was recalled to take Gore's place on the roster.
