Cannon's start against the Guardians on Thursday was postponed due to rain.

The teams will have a doubleheader Friday, with the first game set for 3:10 p.m. ET. Cannon should take the ball in one of those contests for his final start before the All-Star break.

Thursday's game between the Guardians and White Sox was postponed due to rain, pushing back Allen's start, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

The teams are set for a doubleheader Friday, with Allen scheduled to take the ball in Game 1 at 3:10 p.m. ET, per Tim Stebbins of MLB.com. Allen has been inconsistent this season, though he's allowed three or fewer earned runs and completed at least five innings in five consecutive outings.

Sugano (7-5) earned the win over the Mets in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader, allowing three runs on four hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out two.

It's an encouraging way to head into the All-Star break for Sugano -- he logged his first quality start since June 3 after struggling to an 8.87 ERA over his previous five starts (22.1 innings). Overall, the 35-year-old right-hander sports a 4.44 ERA with a 1.30 WHIP and 59:22 K:BB through his first 18 starts (99.1 innings) in the majors.

Mahle (shoulder) will resume throwing in one week, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Mahle has already been ruled out past the trade deadline, and his absence could extend into mid-August, depending how quickly he ramps up. He's been sidelined since mid-June, so he'll almost certainly need multiple rehab starts after progressing through bullpen and live batting practice sessions.

Gray (forearm) will make his next rehab start with Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Gray began his rehab assignment Wednesday and threw 32 pitches while completing two innings. It was previously estimated that he would make four rehab appearances, setting Gray up for a potential return in late July.

McDermott was removed from his start with Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday due to right elbow discomfort, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

McDermott was in the midst of a strong start, allowing two runs (one earned) on five hits and one walk while striking out six across 5.1 innings. The seriousness of the injury is unclear, though an arm issue always raises some level of concern. McDermott has allowed at least four earned runs in five of his eight starts since being demoted to Norfolk in late May.

Houck (elbow) struck out six batters and allowed one earned run on three hits and two walks over 4.1 innings during his rehab start Wednesday with Triple-A Worcester.

Making the fifth start of his rehab assignment and his fourth at the Triple-A level, Houck tossed 76 pitches (47 strikes) and induced 12 swings and misses. With the All-Star break on tap and his 30-day rehab window coming to a close next week, Houck's minor-league assignment has come to an end. The right-hander accrued a 5.74 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 15:6 K:BB in 15.2 innings across his five starts in the minors, and the Red Sox will now have to decide if they want to open a spot for him in the rotation or have him work out of the bullpen. Boston could view Houck as an upgrade at the back end of the rotation over Walker Buehler, who has turned in just one quality start over his last nine outings heading into Thursday.

Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Thursday that Fedde will start Saturday's game against Atlanta, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

The Cardinals mulled replacing Fedde in the rotation with Michael McGreevy, but they've decided to give the former at least one more start. Fedde has been pummeled for 17 earned runs with a 2:9 K:BB over 10 innings covering his last three starts and will be on a short leash moving forward.

High-A Hudson Valley reinstated Lange (shoulder) from its 60-day injured list and assigned him to Single-A Tampa on Saturday.

Lange didn't pitch at all in 2024 while recovering from a shoulder injury and remained out of commission for the first two months of this season before starting up a rehab assignment in early June. After three rehab appearances in the rookie-level Florida Complex League, Lange was advanced to Tampa on June 24. He looks like he'll stick around in the Florida State League for the time being while he continues to knock off some rust, though Lange has been sharp thus far. Over his four appearances with Tampa, Lange has struck out three while allowing no runs on three hits and two walks in 4.2 innings.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Thursday that Yarbrough (oblique) resumed a throwing program Wednesday, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

It's a good step for the lefty, but Yarbrough hasn't pitched in more than three weeks, so it's going to take some time for him to be built back up. He will likely require at least one rehab start before rejoining the Yankees' active roster, and by that time it's uncertain whether he will still have a rotation spot waiting for him.
