Quantrill allowed three runs on eight hits and a walk over five innings in Monday's loss to the Twins. He struck out four and did not factor in the decision.

Quantrill began the game by serving up a leadoff shot to Max Kepler, the first homer he's allowed since July 27. He later allowed a run in each of the third and fourth innings. It was the first time in seven starts that he allowed more than two runs and his ERA rose slightly to 3.24. The 6-foot-3 righty owns a 1.76 ERA and a 37:14 K:BB over his last seven outings. Quantrill is projected to face the Angels at home this weekend.

Severino (elbow/groin) will receive a second opinion on his right shoulder in the coming days, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

Severino underwent an MRI on Monday, but the Yankees haven't revealed the results. However, the right-hander wants to get insight from Dr. Neal ElAttrache before determining the next step in his recovery process. Severino had his rehab assignment paused after he was scratched from Friday's rehab start at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, and a better idea of his status will likely be known once he receives his second opinion.

Senzatela allowed two runs on six hits and a walk over seven innings in Monday's win over the Padres. He struck out two and did not factor in the decision.

Through five innings, the only run to score against Senzatela came on a wild pitch in the second inning. He later allowed an RBI base knock to Manny Machado in the sixth. The 26-year-old was in line for his first win since June 2 before Daniel Bard blew a save chance in the ninth. Senzatela had allowed at least three runs in each of his last three outings but he lowered his season ERA to 4.58 after Monday's quality start. He's projected to face Arizona at home this weekend.

Miley (10-4) allowed four hits and a walk while striking out seven in seven scoreless innings to earn the win Monday against the Cubs.

Miley was hit hard in his last outing, as he allowed five runs in five innings against Atlanta. However, he bounced back with a strong showing against Chicago's faltering offense to earn his second win in his last three appearances. The southpaw's production has remained relatively consistent since the All-Star break, and he's posted a 2.95 ERA and 1.34 WHIP in 36.2 innings across his last six starts. He tentatively lines up to make his next appearance at home against the Marlins on Saturday.

Steele (2-2) allowed two runs on five hits across four innings to take the loss Monday against the Reds. He walked three and struck out five.

Steele did a decent job of limiting Cincinnati's offensive output, but the lefty was far from dominant as he allowed an average of two baserunners per inning. The Cubs decided to pull him after 82 pitches and his four innings of work, and then the bullpen allowed 12 more runs in the next four innings. Steele has now made two starts for Chicago, allowing five runs across nine innings while striking out six. Those numbers don't jump off the page, but with Jake Arrieta gone and Adbert Alzolay (hamstring) on the injured list, Steele doesn't have a ton of competition for a rotation spot at the moment. He's projected to start again Sunday against the Royals and will attempt to work a little bit deeper into the contest.

Cole (11-6) allowed one run on two hits and a walk while striking out nine in 5.2 innings to earn the win Monday against the Angels.

Cole missed two weeks after testing positive for COVID-19, but he was sharp in his return to the mound Monday. He gave up a two-out homer in the top of the first inning but allowed just two baserunners across the next four frames. The righty tossed 90 pitches in the outing despite not making any rehab appearances prior to his return to the Yankees. Cole has been somewhat inconsistent across his last seven appearances, as he's posted a 3-3 record with a 4.81 ERA and 1.27 WHIP in 39.1 innings during that time. He tentatively lines up to make his next start at home against the Twins on Saturday.

Suarez (5-6) allowed two runs on four hits and three walks while striking out six in five innings to take the loss against the Yankees on Monday.

Suarez hadn't allowed fewer than three earned runs in any of his first four starts after the All-Star break, but he fared slightly better in Monday's outing. However, the southpaw was tagged with his sixth loss of the season in the low-scoring contest. Across his last five starts, Suarez has recorded a 6.12 ERA and 1.36 WHIP in 25 innings. He tentatively lines up to make his next start on the road against Cleveland on Sunday.

Hamels was placed on the 60-day injured list with an arm injury Monday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Hamels joined the Dodgers on a major-league deal in early August and was working on building back up to full strength after he missed most of the 2020 campaign due to a shoulder injury. However, the southpaw recently experienced arm pain and will be unavailable for the remainder of the season following his placement on the 60-day IL. Hamels will become a free agent during the offseason and has made just one major-league appearance since 2019. The 37-year-old southpaw's career could be over following his latest arm-related setback.

Williams was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Williams made his team debut as a starter Thursday and allowed a run on three hits and two walks while striking out two in 4.1 innings. The right-hander will provide bullpen depth for the Mets after Geoff Hartlieb was optioned to Triple-A on Monday.

Rodon (shoulder) felt good after throwing from 90 feet Monday, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Rodon landed on the injured list with left shoulder fatigue Wednesday, but he was able to resume throwing several days later. The southpaw underwent an MRI on Sunday that came back clean, and he isn't expected to require a lengthy absence. The White Sox are hopeful that Rodon will be able to return to the rotation during the team's upcoming series against Toronto, which begins Aug. 23.
