Noah Cameron SP | KC
Royals' Noah Cameron: Roughed up by Yankees
Cameron (2-2) took the loss Tuesday against the Yankees, allowing six runs on seven hits and one walk over 5.2 innings. He struck out six.
Cameron allowed just three runs over his first five starts this season, spanning 31.2 innings. However, the 25-year-old came down to earth Tuesday, yielding a three-run home run to Austin Wells and a two-run homer to Aaron Judge during the start. The only positive takeaway from the outing was Cameron's strikeout ability. He had topped three strikeouts just once before Tuesday's start. On the year, Cameron has posted a 2.17 ERA and 25:11 K:BB over 37.1 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Rangers his next time out.

Connor Prielipp SP | MIN
Twins' Connor Prielipp: On IL with blister
Prielipp was placed on the 7-day injured list at Double-A Wichita due to a blister on his pitching hand, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Prielipp had just returned from the development list (which was likely used to reduce his workload this season) and threw 8.2 scoreless innings over his last two starts with a 9:1 K:BB. He has a 3.13 ERA with a 40:6 K:BB in 31.2 innings at Double-A.

Sawyer Gipson-Long SP | DET
Tigers' Sawyer Gipson-Long: Looks sharp Tuesday
Gipson-Long allowed one run on three hits across 4.2 innings of relief in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Orioles. He struck out five.
Gipson-Long was the third Detroit pitcher of the night and ended up filling the bulk role as he set a new season best in innings and earned his first hold of the year. After covering 3.2 innings and tossing 70 pitches in his 2025 debut Wednesday, the righty dipped to 51 pitches but was more efficient and looked sharper in his second appearance. Before last week, Gipson-Long hadn't appeared in an MLB game since 2023 following a lengthy recovery from Tommy John surgery and hip surgery. The 27-year-old is a short-term starting option with Jackson Jobe (elbow) and Reese Olson (finger) on the injured list, but Gibson-Long may settle in as a long reliever when the Tigers are fully healthy. For now, he's penciled in to take the mound again Sunday against the Reds, potentially in a bulk role once more with Brant Hurter as the opener.

Zebby Matthews SP | MIN
Twins' Zebby Matthews: No-throw for two weeks
Matthews was diagnosed with a moderate subscapularis strain in his right shoulder Tuesday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
Now that the Twins know exactly what kind of injury Matthews is dealing with, the plan is to shut him down for roughly two weeks. He'll be re-evaluated following his no-throw period, at which point a clearer timeline for his return may emerge. Simeon Woods Richardson was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday and figures to remain in Minnesota's rotation until Matthews is cleared to return.

Ryan Feltner SP | COL
Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Throws bullpen session
Feltner (back) completed a full bullpen session Monday, MLB.com reports.
Feltner has been conducting his throwing program at the Rockies' spring training facility in Arizona since being pulled off his rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque in late May. The right-hander will likely throw at least a couple more side sessions before advancing to facing hitters and eventually heading back out on a rehab assignment. Given that he's been on the shelf since May 2 due to the back issue, Feltner may need more than one rehab start before he's cleared to rejoin the Colorado rotation, possibly in late June or early July.

Austin Gomber SP | TEX
Rockies' Austin Gomber: Sharp in rehab start
Gomber (shoulder) struck out three and allowed one earned run on two hits and no walks over four innings in his rehab start for Double-A Hartford on Wednesday.
Gomber's appearance was his first at any level since March 28, when he made a rehab start in Triple-A Albuquerque's season opener before experiencing a setback in his recovery from left shoulder soreness. The left-hander checked out fine coming out of Wednesday's start, and after completing a bullpen session at Coors Field on Saturday, he's set to report to Albuquerque for his next rehab outing Tuesday. Gomber is expected to cover 65 pitches Tuesday, and if all goes well, he could be a candidate to return from the 60-day injured list and make his season debut with the Rockies.

Kash Mayfield SP | SD
Padres' Kash Mayfield: Returns to action at Single-A
Mayfield (shoulder) struck out four over two perfect innings in a start of Single-A Lake Elsinore last Wednesday.
Mayfield made his first appearance since May 13 after he had been shut down with left shoulder discomfort, though Lake Elsinore never placed him on its injured list. One of the top lower-level prospects in the San Diego system, Mayfield has accrued a 4.84 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 31:9 K:BB across 22.1 innings over seven starts at Single-A this season.

David Festa P | MIN
Twins' David Festa: Remaining in rotation
Festa is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Rangers at Target Field.
Despite getting roughed up for eight earned runs over 3.2 innings in his start against the Athletics last Thursday after being called up from Triple-A St. Paul, Festa will receive at least one more chance to prove he belongs in the rotation. With Zebby Matthews (shoulder) recently joining Pablo Lopez (lat) on the injured list, Festa has a fairly clear runway to make additional starts with the big club if he can avoid further blowups.

Cody Bradford RP | TEX
Rangers' Cody Bradford: Set for bullpen session
Bradford (elbow) will throw a bullpen session at Target Field on Wednesday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Bradford has slowly been working his way back from a sprained UCL in his left elbow that has sidelined him since March 12, and he has been throwing bullpen sessions for nearly a month. The team has been taking a cautious approach with the left-hander's recovery, and it's possible that he is on the cusp of a minor-league rehab assignment. Bradford remains on track for a return at some point in July, with the All-Star break being a reasonable target date.

Alex Cobb SP | DET
Tigers' Alex Cobb: Making next rehab start Wednesday
Cobb (hip) will report to Triple-A Toledo to continue his rehab assignment Wednesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
The veteran right-hander made his first two rehab starts with High-A West Michigan and is now moving up to the highest level of the minors. Cobb threw 34 pitches over 2.1 frames in his latest start and should build up to around the 50-pitch mark Wednesday. He'll likely require another rehab outing or two after that before being deemed ready to make his season debut for Detroit.
