Mikolas (forearm) is scheduled to make his third rehab start Tuesday with Double-A Springfield.

The first two starts of Mikolas' latest rehab assignment came at Triple-A Memphis, but he'll drop down a level Tuesday, presumably for schedule-related reasons. After tossing four scoreless innings and 58 pitches in his most recent outing with Memphis last Thursday, Mikolas should push his pitch count closer to the 70-to-75 range in his third rehab start. If Mikolas isn't experienced any renewed pain in his right forearm following the start, he could be activated from the 60-day injured list and step back into the St. Louis rotation as soon as Sunday.

Gomber (8-6) allowed four earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out three across one inning, taking the loss to the Padres on Sunday.

Gomber was pulled after a disastrous 40-pitch first inning Sunday, which marked his shortest start of the season. All three outs were punchouts, but he allowed six batters to reach safely, accounting for four runs. It was a very different start from the last time he faced San Diego, when he shut them out over eight innings. The 27-year-old has a 4.04 ERA and a 1.11 WHIP over 91.1 innings this season.

McClanahan (5-4) won Sunday's 3-2 contest against the Red Sox, allowing one run on four hits and two walks with seven strikeouts in six innings.

McClanahan limited a potent Boston lineup to a single run and really only encountered trouble in the fourth inning, when Hunter Renfroe homered, and was able to work out of a two-on, one-out jam. The successful outing marks consecutive quality starts for the rookie left-hander -- McClanahan went six innings while allowing one run or less, a combo he's now achieved just twice in 16 starts.

Quantrill allowed one unearned run on three hits and four walks over six innings in Sunday's loss to the White Sox. He struck out six and did not factor in the decision.

Quantrill worked through four scoreless innings before plunking Jose Abreu with the bases loaded in the fifth. It was his fourth consecutive start going at least five innings while allowing fewer than two runs, lowering his season ERA to 3.40 through 84.2 frames. Quantrill is projected to face Detroit at home next week.

Detmers (0-1) allowed six earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out two across 4.1 innings, taking the loss to the Athletics on Sunday.

Detmers made it through his first two innings without giving up a run before suffering through a five-run fifth inning. He surrendered home runs to Matt Olson and Yan Gomes. The 22-year-old had a 3.15 ERA and 106 strikeouts in 60 innings between two minor league teams. It is unknown whether he will have a long-term spot in the starting rotation.

Garcia (7-6) allowed five runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out seven in 4.2 innings, taking the loss versus San Francisco on Sunday.

For the second consecutive start and the third time in five outings, Garcia failed to complete five innings. He was taken deep twice Sunday, accounting for three of the five runs on his line. The right-hander has a still-solid 3.49 ERA with a 1.13 WHIP and 121:32 K:BB across 100.2 innings, but he's yielded 23 runs (21 earned) in his last 41.2 innings. He projects to make his next start versus Minnesota next weekend.

Webb (5-3) earned the win Sunday versus Houston. He allowed two runs on seven hits and a walk with three strikeouts in six innings.

The right-hander allowed a two-run home run to Yuli Gurriel in the first inning, but he was able to keep Houston relatively quiet after that. Webb has allowed just six runs in 24 innings since he returned from a shoulder injury. The 24-year-old has a 3.33 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 73:23 K:BB through 73 innings this season. He'll try to keep things rolling when he takes the mound during next weekend's series in Milwaukee.

Morton (10-4) allowed two runs on three hits over six innings Sunday, striking out six and taking a loss against Milwaukee.

Morton served up a solo shot to Willy Adames in the first inning but turned in a few perfect innings after that. The Brewers pushed across another run in the fifth on a Jackie Bradley groundout. Over his previous eight starts, the veteran righty was 5-0 with a 2.70 ERA through 50 innings. Morton is now sporting a 3.69 ERA and a 141:42 K:BB this season. He's projected to face the Nationals at home next week.

Wainwright (9-6) allowed three runs on six hits and a walk over seven innings Sunday, striking out five and earning a win over the Twins.

Minnesota got to Wainwright early with Andrelton Simmons' two-run single in the second. He then kept them off the board until Jorge Polanco knocked a solo homer in the sixth. The veteran righty is now 6-1 over his last 10 outings, yielding 21 runs over 66 innings (2.86 ERA) during that span. Wainwright is lined up to face Kansas City at home next weekend.

Urias (13-3) earned the win in Sunday's 13-0 contest with Arizona, allowing just four hits in five innings with seven strikeouts.

Urias dominated the Snakes all game, throwing 59 of 83 pitches for strikes and permitting no more than one baserunner in any of his five innings. The 13th victory brings Urias into a tie with Kyle Hendricks for the MLB lead, and the 24-year-old has now won four straight decisions.
