McClanahan (triceps) threw a full-intensity bullpen session Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

The Rays reported that the session went well, but no further details were offered. McClanahan is expected to throw at least one more bullpen session before further increasing his workload as he continues to progress toward a potential return in August.

Lorenzen allowed three runs on six hits and struck out five without walking a batter over 4.2 innings to take a no-decision versus the Mariners on Tuesday.

Lorenzen had some trouble in the fifth inning, when he allowed two of the three runs, and he ultimately wasn't allowed to finish the frame. That cost him a chance at his first win since June 8, but this was still a decent performance, which saw the right-hander avoid issuing a walk for the second start in a row. He's now at a 4.95 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 78:28 K:BB across 92.2 innings through 17 starts. Lorenzen has given up 21 runs over 30.1 innings since the start of June, so he'll be looking to turn things around. His next start is tentatively projected to be at Arizona this weekend.

Gallen (6-9) allowed two runs (one earned) on five hits and struck out 10 without walking a batter over seven innings to earn the win over the Giants on Tuesday.

Gallen had allowed at least four runs in eight of his previous nine starts, pitching to a 6.97 ERA in that span. He was much better Tuesday, overcoming a shaky second inning to put together one of his best starts of the season. Gallen's extended slump is still evident in his 5.45 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 98:42 K:BB through 104 innings, but he could turn things around, as those ratios are the worst of his career. The right-hander will look to build some positive momentum in his next start, tentatively scheduled for this weekend at home versus the Royals.

Ryan (8-4) allowed a run on five hits over seven innings Tuesday, striking out four and taking a loss against Miami. He did not issue a walk.

After yielding a solo homer to Kyle Stowers to begin the second inning, Ryan retired 13 straight Marlins and did not allow another extra-base hit during his outing. However, the Twins were shut out, leading to an unfortunate loss for Ryan. He threw 57 of 88 pitches for strikes and completed seven innings for just the second time since the start of May. Despite the loss, he dropped his ERA to 2.75 with a 108:20 K:BB across 98.1 frames this season. Ryan is slated to face the Rays at home this weekend.

Cabrera (3-2) allowed two hits and a walk over seven scoreless innings Tuesday, striking out six and earning a win over Minnesota.

Cabrera gave up one extra-base hit and let only two runners reach scoring position during his impressive outing Tuesday. It was his third scoreless outing of the year and his first time completing at least seven frames. He tossed 58 of 93 pitches for strikes and forced 14 whiffs, including six each with his changeup and slider. Cabrera owns a 3.41 ERA with a 75:30 K:BB across 71.1 frames. He's produced a stellar 2.05 ERA in 52.2 innings since the start of May. Cabrera's next outing is lined up to be at home against the Brewers this weekend.

Gausman didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 12-5 win over the Yankees, allowing two runs on six hits and four walks over five innings. He struck out three.

The veteran righty gave up two runs in the first inning but was able to escape any further damage despite constant traffic on the basepaths. Gausman got the hook after 99 pitches (62 strikes) with the Jays ahead 4-2, but the bullpen let the lead slip away in the seventh inning before the offense erupted late. It's the fifth time in his last six trips to the mound that Gausman's issued multiple free passes, a bumpy stretch in which he's posted a 5.18 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 32:17 K:BB over 33 innings. He'll try to tighten things up in his next start, which is scheduled to come at home this weekend against the Angels.

Fried came away with a no-decision in Tuesday's 12-5 loss to the Blue Jays, giving up four runs on three hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out two.

The southpaw had little trouble blanking Toronto through three frames, but Fried served up two homers in the fourth, including a three-run shot by Andres Gimenez that put the Yankees in a 4-2 hole. It's only the second time this season Fried's been tagged for multiple homers in the same start. He'll take a 2.13 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 106:23 K:BB through 114 innings into his next outing, which lines up to come on the road this weekend against the Mets.

The Padres are expected to option Waldron to Triple-A El Paso on Wednesday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Waldron will be the roster casualty necessary to make room for Eduarniel Nunez, who is set to be selected from El Paso on Wednesday. Waldron struggled mightily during his season debut Monday, during which he gave up four runs in 4.2 innings, and he's put up a 5.24 ERA and 1.54 WHIP through 22.1 frames in Triple-A.

Nunez is set to be called up from Triple-A El Paso on Wednesday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Nunez will join the Padres ahead of the team's doubleheader with the Phillies. The right-hander has pitched 7.1 scoreless innings, allowing one hit and three walks while striking out 11 batters in seven appearances with El Paso since being promoted from Double-A San Antonio on June 10. Matt Waldron is expected to be sent down to El Paso in order to make room for Nunez with the big-league club.

Snell (shoulder) is expected to face live hitters Wednesday, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports.

Snell will officially face live batters for the first time since April, when he was placed on the injured list with left shoulder inflammation. Manager Dave Roberts said the left-hander was "not close" to facing hitters when asked about Snell's status last Friday, so it appears as if the southpaw is further along in his recovery process than his skipper anticipated. The Dodgers have no reason to rush Snell back to the mound, but if all goes well Wednesday, he could begin a minor-league rehab assignment in the coming weeks.
