Gonsolin is scheduled to start Wednesday's game against the Giants, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Since Los Angeles had two off days this week, manager Dave Roberts didn't immediately commit to having Gonsolin pick up his start this week, but he'll end up staying on turn in the rotation. He's been sharp through his first four starts this season, submitting a 1.59 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 13:8 K:BB across 17 innings.

Priester (oblique) has been cleared to throw off the slope of a mound, Mike Persak of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Priester had been increasing his throwing distance recently, and he's now begun progressing toward mound work. A timetable for his return to game action hasn't yet been revealed, but he'll presumably need to build up during bullpen sessions before he's cleared for games.

Marquez (0-2) took the loss Tuesday as the Rockies fell 10-2 to the Nationals, surrendering seven runs on 10 hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out five.

Homers by Josh Bell in the third inning and Juan Soto in the fifth accounted for most of the damage off Marquez, who got the hook after 77 pitches (53 strikes). The right-hander has served up six long balls in only 26 innings so far, but all six have come at Coors Field, offering some hope his numbers will come down once he sees more action on the road. Marquez will carry a 6.92 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and 19:6 K:BB into his next outing.

Manoah didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 9-1 loss to the Yankees, allowing one run on three hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out seven.

It was another impressive performance from the right-hander, and Manoah's only real mistake got hammered into the left-center field seats for a solo shot by Aaron Judge in the sixth inning. Unfortunately for Toronto, the bullpen made a mess of things as soon as Manoah was out of the game. The 24-year-old has delivered five quality starts in five outings to begin the season, giving him a stellar 1.45 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 32:8 K:BB through 31 innings.

Mize (elbow) has thrown multiple bullpen sessions at the Tigers' spring facility in Lakeland, Fla. and could be set to face live batting hitters as soon as this weekend, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Mize was placed on the 10-day injured list April 15 with an elbow sprain, but he's getting closer to a return. If his live batting session goes well this weekend, he would likely be set to make a rehab start at some point next week. Mize will likely make more than one start on his rehab assignment, placing his return to the Tigers somewhere around mid-to-late May.

Taillon (2-1) picked up the win in Tuesday's 9-1 victory over the Blue Jays, allowing one run on five hits over six innings. He struck out four without walking a batter.

The right-hander was locked in a pitchers' duel with Alek Manoah through six frames, but Taillon got rewarded for his efforts when the Yankees broke through against the Toronto bullpen in the top of the seventh. The quality start was his first of the season, and he'll take a 2.84 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 21:2 K:BB through 25.1 innings into his next outing.

Manning (shoulder) could begin a rehab assignment this weekend, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Manning was still experiencing tightness in his shoulder in late April, but he's now thrown multiple bullpen sessions of over 30 pitches. It's not yet clear how many minor-league appearances the right-hander will require, but a rehab assignment would likely be the final step in his recovery process.

Lugo gave up a hit in a scoreless ninth inning Tuesday to record his second save of the season in the second game of a doubleheader sweep of Atlanta.

Edwin Diaz notched the save in the matinee while Adam Ottavino picked up a hold, leaving closing duties in the nightcap to Lugo. Lugo has reeled off six straight scoreless appearances, lowering his ERA to 3.48 and his WHIP to 1.35, and he also has four holds in addition to his pair of saves from his 11 appearances. The 32-year-old remains one of the Mets' primary setup options, but should anything happen to Diaz, Lugo would likely step into the closer role.

Carrasco (2-1) picked up the win in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against Atlanta, allowing six hits and two walks over eight scoreless innings. He struck out five.

The veteran right-hander bounced back in dazzling fashion from a rough performance against the Cardinals in his last start. Carrasco fired 96 pitches (68 strikes) before exiting his second quality start of the season, and while he'll take a 3.30 ERA and 1.00 WHIP into his next outing, the 35-year-old's 23.1 percent strikeout rate is still well off the pace he managed while anchoring the Cleveland staff in his late 20s.

Wright (3-1) took the loss in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Mets, giving up three runs on nine hits and a walk over seven innings. He struck out three.

The right-hander pitched well enough to earn a win, but the Atlanta offense got shut out in the nightcap of the twin bill. Wright has delivered three straight quality starts and four in his five turns through the rotation this season, leading to a 1.74 ERA and 0.97 WHIP, and his impressive 30.6 percent strikeout rate and 5.8 percent walk rate back up that performance.
