Edward Cabrera SP | CHC
Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Suffers tough-luck loss
Cabrera (3-3) took the loss against the Brewers on Sunday, allowing two runs on five hits and no walks with five strikeouts over seven innings.
Cabrera's only blemish was a two-run homer by Jackson Chourio in the third inning, as he completed seven frames for the second straight outing. The 27-year-old extended an impressive run, having now allowed three earned runs or fewer in 11 consecutive starts dating back to May 4. He'll carry a 3.33 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 80:30 K:BB across 78.1 innings into a road matchup with the Orioles next weekend.

Brewers' Brandon Woodruff: Dazzles in debut
Woodruff (1-0) earned the win against the Marlins on Sunday, allowing one run on two hits and no walks with eight strikeouts over six innings.
Woodruff dominated in his first big-league start in 652 days, with the lone blemish being a solo homer in the fifth inning. He needed just 70 pitches to deliver a quality start, generating 10 whiffs while averaging 93 mph with both his fastball and sinker. It was an encouraging return for the 32-year-old, who will look to build on the outing in a favorable matchup against the Nationals next weekend.

Kendall Graveman RP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Kendall Graveman: Beginning rehab assignment Tuesday
Graveman (hip) will make a rehab appearance in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Tuesday, MLB.com reports.
Graveman is working his way back from his second injury of the season, after a right lumbar strain suffered in spring training kept him from making his 2025 debut with Arizona until mid-May. He was most recently placed on the injured list June 9 due to a right hip impingement, but after facing live hitters Friday without issue, Graveman will move on to the final phase of his recovery program. He'll likely remain on assignment in the minors throughout the week before potentially returning from the IL coming out of the All-Star break.

Drey Jameson RP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Drey Jameson: Recovering from bone chip in elbow
Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Sunday that Jameson was pulled off his rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League last week due to a bone fragment chip in his right elbow, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Placed on Triple-A Reno's 7-day injured list May 20 due to a lateral right elbow injury, Jameson was cleared to pitch in ACL games in late June but made just two appearances before experiencing tightness in his pitching arm. Fortunately for Jameson, Lovullo relayed that the bone chip in the 28-year-old's elbow isn't expected to require surgery. A timeline for Jameson's return to the mound hasn't been established, however, and given that the righty previously underwent Tommy John surgery in September 2023, Arizona will likely tread carefully with his rehab program.

Gabriel Moreno C | ARI
Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Starts running, receiving pitches
Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Sunday that Moreno (finger) has resumed running on the bases and working on receiving, MLB.com reports.
Lovullo noted that Moreno hasn't yet been cleared to use his dominant hand after suffering a hairline fracture to his pointer finger back on June 6, so until the catcher is cleared to start throwing and hitting, his return from the 10-day injured list shouldn't be viewed as imminent. Moreno appears likely to remain out until around late July, leaving Jose Herrera and James McCann to handle catching duties for Arizona over the next few weeks.

Paul Skenes SP | PIT
Pirates' Paul Skenes: Fans 10 in no-decision
Skenes pitched five scoreless innings, allowing five hits and no walks in a no-decision Sunday at Seattle. He struck out 10.
Despite a short 78-pitch outing, the Pittsburgh ace managed to notch his first double-digit strikeout performance of the season. Skenes completely dominated the Mariners lineup to mark his fifth walk-free start of the season while allowing just one extra-base hit -- a Julio Rodriguez double in the third. Skenes now sports a stellar 1.94 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 125:30 K:BB across 116 frames. The 23-year-old was named to his second consecutive All-Star team Sunday and is currently scheduled to make his last appearance before the break at Minnesota next weekend.

Andrew Vaughn 1B | MIL
Brewers' Andrew Vaughn: Expected to join big-league roster
Vaughn is expected to be called up from Triple-A Nashville ahead of Monday's series opener with the Dodgers, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.
Vaughn will join the Brewers in Milwaukee on Monday, helping replace Rhys Hoskins (thumb), who is expected to be placed on the 10-day injured list. After he was acquired from the White Sox via trade June 13, Vaughn immediately reported to Triple-A, where he's produced a .259 average with three home runs in 16 games with Nashville. The right-handed-hitting Vaughn could end up settling into a platoon at first base with the left-handed-hitting Jake Bauers while Hoskins is on the shelf.

Emmet Sheehan SP | LAD
Dodgers' Emmet Sheehan: No-decision in big-league return
Sheehan did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Astros. He allowed one run on five hits and one walk over five innings with four strikeouts.
The 25-year-old right-hander looked sharp in this 80-pitch outing, as he averaged 96.1 mph on his fastball after sitting at 95.2 mph in his only other appearance June 18 against San Diego. The only run Sheehan allowed came on a sacrifice fly by Jose Altuve in the third. After dominating Triple-A with a 43.0 percent K-BB across 17.2 frames, Sheehan looks set to stick in the Los Angeles rotation. He'll carry a 2.00 ERA and 10:1 K:BB across nine big-league innings into his next start, which is currently scheduled to be at San Francisco next weekend.
