The Padres reinstated Marquez (forearm) from the 15-day injured list Thursday.

The Padres have Marquez returning healthy as they place Jason Adam on the 15-day injured list due to a right shoulder sprain. Marquez was placed on the 15-day injured list May 3 due to right forearm nerve irritation, which ended up costing him two months. He was working as a starter at the time of the injury but is now expected to come out of the bullpen.

Gusto did not factor into the decision Thursday against Colorado, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out two over three innings.

After he was handed a 2-0 lead in the first inning, Gusto gave up a solo home run to Mickey Moniak in the bottom half of the frame before the Rockies tacked on two more runs in the third. Gusto has seen a limited workload since joining the Marlins rotation -- he's yet to make it through five frames in any of his six starts. Overall, the right-hander sports a 5.55 ERA with a 1.60 WHIP and 22:10 K:BB across 24.1 innings.

Gilbert will be piggybacked by Emerson Hancock during the former's start against Toronto on Saturday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Gilbert and Hancock were originally supposed to work together in a piggyback game last weekend, but a last-minute change allowed the two pitchers to both make their own traditional starts. Now back in a piggyback plan, Gilbert could be limited to roughly five innings Saturday before Hancock steps in to potentially close out the game.

Lorenzen did not factor into the decision in Thursday's win over the Marlins, allowing four runs on four hits and six walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out one.

Lorenzen couldn't find his command Thursday, as he issued a season-high six walks while throwing just 46 of his 95 pitches for strikes. Coming into the day, Lorenzen had pitched to a respectable 3.43 ERA in his previous four outings (21 innings), striking out 18 while issuing just four walks in that span. Overall, the veteran right-hander is 3-9 with a 6.91 ERA, 1.81 WHIP and 67:32 K:BB across 86 innings this season. Lorenzen is currently lined up to face the Dodgers on the road his next time out.

Cavalli received a seven-game suspension Thursday for his actions initiating and during the benches-clearing incident Tuesday versus the Red Sox, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.

The benches-clearing incident Tuesday was sparked when Cavalli struck out Willson Contreras. On the Nationals' side, Miles Mikolas also received a five-game ban. For the Red Sox, Contreras received a seven-game suspension and Nate Eaton three games. Unless Cavalli appeals, he won't be able to return until July 11.

The Rangers optioned Santos to Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday.

Santos will head down to Triple-A after making his MLB debut Wednesday, when he gave up two earned runs on two hits and a walk while striking out one batter across two innings. His move to Triple-A will work as somewhat of a promotion, as he spent most of the first half at Double-A Frisco, posting a 7.44 ERA and 1.78 WHIP over 42.1 frames. Ben Peoples was selected to the active roster in a corresponding move.

The Rangers selected Peoples' contract from Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday.

The Rangers acquired Peoples on Tuesday in a trade with the White Sox, and he'll now get an opportunity to make his MLB debut with Texas after posting a 2.39 ERA and 1.10 WHIP in 37.2 innings at Triple-A. Winston Santos was optioned to Round Rock in a corresponding move.

Misiorowski (9-4) took the loss Thursday against the Reds, allowing five runs (one earned) on five hits across five innings. He struck out 10.

While Misiorowski logged double-digit strikeouts for the seventh time this year, he gave up a season-high five runs (albeit just one was earned) in an eventual 7-2 defeat. Misiorowski surrendered a solo homer to Sal Stewart in the first inning before the Reds tacked on four unearned runs in the fourth, capped by a Jose Trevino three-run shot. Misiorowski still leads all qualified pitchers in ERA (1.47), WHIP (0.78) and strikeouts (156) through 17 starts (104 innings) this season. He'll look to get back in the win column his next time out, currently scheduled to come on the road in St. Louis.

Burns (10-1) earned the win Thursday over the Brewers, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out four.

After giving up a season-high five runs in his last outing, Burns rebounded with a strong effort Thursday to grab his 10th win. Burns has now held opponents to two runs or fewer in 15 of his 17 starts this season. His ERA sits at 2.40 with a 1.08 WHIP and 116:31 K:BB across 97.2 innings. Burns is currently slated for a home matchup with the Phillies his next time out.

The Royals activated Kolek (personal) from the family medical emergency list Thursday.

Kolek was placed on the paternity list last week and shifted to the family medical emergency list Tuesday, but he will rejoin the Royals' rotation with a start Thursday against the Rays. The right-hander will be pitching on 10 days' rest, so it's not clear how sharp he will be or how big of a workload he'll be able to handle.
