Sasaki (shoulder) is expected to begin a throwing program within the next week, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Sasaki has been on the 15-day injured list since May 13 with a right shoulder impingement, and he was shut down from throwing. The right-hander will likely require a multi-week buildup before potentially returning to the major-league roster. Sasaki will progress from playing catch to throwing a bullpen session before launching a minor-league rehab assignment.

Buehler (4-2) took the loss Sunday against the Orioles, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out three.

Buehler managed to make it through five innings after he was ejected in the third in his last start. The right-hander pitched well, allowing just a pair of runs, but the Red Sox failed to generate much offensively against Dean Kremer in an eventual 5-1 defeat. Buehler's ERA sits at 3.95 with a 1.20 WHIP and 36:13 K:BB across eight starts (41 innings) this season. He's currently in line for a road matchup in Atlanta in his next outing.

The Dodgers optioned Miller to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday.

Miller will likely slot back into the Triple-A rotation after working in relief for the Dodgers on Saturday following his promotion from Oklahoma City. The 26-year-old mopped up the final two innings of Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Mets, striking out no batters and allowing one run on three hits and one walk in his 32-pitch appearance. The Dodgers signed righty Chris Stratton to a one-year deal to replace Miller on the 26-man active roster and in the bullpen.

Kremer (4-5) earned the win Sunday over the Red Sox, allowing seven hits and a walk across 5.1 scoreless innings. He struck out four.

Kremer's now allowed seven or more hits in each of his last three starts, though he was able to work out of trouble to hold Boston scoreless Sunday en route to his first win in four outings. Kremer sports a 5.02 ERA with a 1.39 WHIP and 44:16 K:BB across 11 starts (61 innings) this season. He's currently lined up for a home matchup with the White Sox in his next outing.

Gore (leg) is scheduled to start Thursday's game against the Mariners, Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post reports.

The left-hander exited his most recent start Friday against the Giants due to tightness in his left leg, but the injury won't stop him from making his next turn through the rotation. Gore has a 3.47 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 93:21 K:BB across 62.1 innings this season, with his 36.2 percent strikeout rate representing an increase of more than 11 percentage points from his first three MLB campaigns.

Nola (ankle) isn't expected to resume throwing off a mound until the Phillies return home from their road trip that concludes Sunday in Sacramento, MLB.com reports.

After landing on the injured list May 16 due to a right ankle sprain, Nola was hopeful to throw a bullpen session this weekend during the Phillies' three-game series versus the Athletics, but it never materialized while he continued to experience some soreness, according to Matt Gelb of The Athletic. Assuming he's still able to get back on the mound within the next few days, Nola's return shouldn't be pushed back too much further, though the right-hander no longer looks to be a candidate to come off the 15-day injured list this Thursday when first eligible. With Nola still working through the ankle injury, Taijuan Walker is expected to make at least one more turn through the Philadelphia rotation.

The Padres placed King on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to right shoulder inflammation.

The right-hander was scratched from his scheduled start Saturday due to shoulder stiffness, and he'll miss at least two more turns through the rotation due to the injury. King will be eligible to be reinstated June 6, though it's unclear if he'll be ready to return to the big-league mound at that point. Thanks to King's injury, Stephen Kolek should be able to stick in San Diego's rotation a bit longer, even with Yu Darvish (elbow) nearing a return from the IL.

Skubal (5-2) pitched a complete-game shutout Sunday against the Guardians, striking out 13 and allowing two hits and no walks across nine innings.

The left-hander pounded the zone with 72 of his 94 pitches going for strikes, and he induced 26 whiffs while carrying a perfect game into the sixth inning. Skubal showed no signs of slowing down either, as he hit 102.6 mph on his final pitch of the game to punch out Gabriel Arias. It's the first complete-game shutout of his career and is his fourth scoreless outing of 2025. He now has a 2.49 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 92:7 K:BB across 68.2 innings this season as he continues to build his case as arguably the top pitcher in MLB.

Springs allowed four runs (three earned) on four hits and two walks while striking out six over six innings in a no-decision Saturday versus the Phillies.

Springs turned in a baseline quality start, thanks to the Phillies' first run being unearned. He also gave up solo shots to Alec Bohm and Kyle Schwarber later in the contest. Springs has given up eight runs (seven earned) over 30.2 innings in May, though his 20:7 K:BB is a bit underwhelming. He's now at a 3.97 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 47:23 K:BB through 59 innings over 11 starts. Springs' next outing is projected to be on the road versus the Blue Jays.

Sanchez allowed three runs (two earned) on seven hits and three walks while striking out six over 4.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Athletics on Saturday.

Sanchez's streak of three straight quality starts came to an end. He was pulled from this one at 83 pitches (49 strikes) after an ineffective performance. Despite the shaky outing, Sanchez has given up more than three runs just once all year. He's pitched to a 3.17 ERA despite a 1.26 WHIP and 65:20 K:BB over 54 innings that would suggest he's been fortunate to strand some traffic on the basepaths. Sanchez's next outing is tentatively projected to be at home versus Atlanta, though he could be pushed back to a home start versus Milwaukee if Taijuan Walker gets another turn through the rotation.
