Anderson (7-5) earned the win during Tuesday's 7-1 victory over St. Louis, allowing one run on eight hits and one walk with three strikeouts in five innings.

Anderson permitted three consecutive two-out hits in the first inning en route to surrendering his lone run. However, Atlanta quickly rallied for five runs in the bottom of the inning. It was a nice rebound from a poor June that featured a 6.91 ERA in six starts, though it was only the 24-year-old's second start in his last nine allowing one run or fewer. Anderson tentatively lines up for another start this weekend against Washington.

Hendricks was removed from Tuesday's start at Milwaukee due to right shoulder soreness, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

The veteran right-hander took some extra time between starts in early June due to shoulder fatigue, and it appears the issue resurfaced during Tuesday's outing. Hendricks lasted three innings before making his exit and gave up two runs on two hits with four strikeouts and two walks. According to Gordon Wittenmyer of NBC Sports Chicago, Hendricks is scheduled to undergo an MRI, though the injury isn't believed to be serious.

Gausman (ankle) played catch Tuesday instead of throwing his usual between-starts bullpen session, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

The right-hander lines up for his next turn through the rotation Thursday in Seattle, but it appears the ankle injury he suffered during Saturday's outing may affect his availability for this week. Gausman has yet to be ruled out for Thursday's start, but he's likely trending in the wrong direction. Casey Lawrence could be called up to pitch should Gausman be unavailable.

The Phillies recalled Sanchez from Triple-A Lehigh Valley ahead of his scheduled start Tuesday against the Nationals.

Sanchez will be making his second start and ninth appearance of the season with the big club. Over his previous eight outings spanning 15.2 innings, Sanchez turned in a 4.60 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 15:6 K:BB.

Soroka (Achilles) continues throwing at Atlanta's spring training complex, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

It's not exactly clear where Soroka stands in his recovery, but he has been throwing for more than a month, and manager Brian Snitker said Tuesday that he is encouraged by what he has seen. Soroka is not ready for a rehab assignment as of yet, but it seems possible he could be soon.

Cabrera (elbow) completed a 25-pitch bullpen session Monday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Cabrera was placed on the 15-day injured list June 15 with right elbow tendinitis, but it's been a personal matter rather than the elbow issue that has delayed his return to the active roster. The right-hander had been scheduled to start for Triple-A Jacksonville on June 22 before leaving the affiliate to address the personal situation. Cabrera's ability to complete a bullpen session suggests he's put the personal issue behind him, but he'll still need to ramp up a little more before the Marlins lock him in for another rehab start. The 24-year-old doesn't look as though he'll have enough time to make it back from the IL before the All-Star break.

Lynch (finger) is expected to begin a rehab assignment Wednesday with Triple-A Omaha.

Lynch has missed nearly two weeks with a blister, but he appears ready to pitch in a game again. If all goes well Wednesday, he could activated for the Royals' July 11 doubleheader. He's first eligible to return from the injured list Friday.

Manager Brandon Hyde said Tuesday that Bradish (shoulder) will throw a simulated game within the next day or two before the Orioles determine the rookie's next steps, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.

Bradish will take another step forward in his recovery from right shoulder inflammation after he most recently completed a bullpen session Sunday, but the upcoming simulated game will take him out of the running from coming off the 15-day injured list this week. If all goes well when he faces hitters later this week though, Bradish could bypass a minor-league rehab assignment and slot back into the Baltimore rotation shortly before the All-Star break.

The Reds activated Lodolo (back) off the 60-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Tuesday against the Mets.

The rookie southpaw made only three April starts before sustaining the back injury and landing on the shelf, striking out 19 batters while turning in a 5.52 ERA and allowing three home runs across 14.2 innings. After recently wrapping up a four-game minor-league rehab assignment in which he topped out at 4.2 innings and 78 pitches, Lodolo should be sufficiently stretched out as he slots back into what is expected to be a six-man rotation for Cincinnati.

The Dodgers will call up Pepiot from Triple-A Oklahoma City to start Tuesday's home game against the Rockies, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Mitch White was scheduled to start, but the Dodgers will instead push him back at least one day in the schedule to clear the way for Pepiot to pick up a turn in the rotation. Over his three outings with the big club this season, Pepiot has posted a 3.18 ERA, but he's supported it with an ugly 13:11 K:BB over 11.1 innings. Walks have been a problem for Pepiot in the minors, too, as he's issued three free passes in each of his last three starts at Triple-A and 25 total in 55.2 innings in 2022.
