Myers will start Monday's series opener versus the Astros at American Family Field.

After Myers covered just two innings in his most recent start against the White Sox on Wednesday, the Brewers made him available out of the bullpen for this past weekend's series versus the Cubs. He tossed a perfect 11-pitch inning in relief in Friday's 10-0 loss, and given that light workload, Myers shouldn't be operating with any major restrictions as he steps back into the rotation Monday. Myers will tentatively line up for a two-start week, with his second turn expected to come on the road Sunday at Tampa Bay.

Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said that the left ankle sprain that forced Winn from the second game of Sunday's doubleheader versus the Mets is "mild" in nature, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Winn initially remained in the game after getting injured during the third inning, but he was replaced in the field prior to the fifth inning after the ankle swelled up. Winn looks poised to avoid a stint on the 10-day injured list, but it wouldn't be a surprise if he gets a day or two of rest.

Estrada (wrist) is able to swing the bat with both hands and is working his way into baseball shape, MLB.com reports.

Estrada has been sidelined for the entire season with a wrist injury but has made significant progress in the last week. There's still no timeline for his return, but he should be in line for a rehab assignment within the next couple of weeks.

McGreevy earned the victory in the second game of Sunday's doubleheader versus the Mets, tossing 5.2 scoreless innings with five strikeouts.

McGreevy replaced an ineffective Andre Pallante in the top of the fourth inning and escaped a bases-loaded, one-out jam. He then faced just three over the minimum the rest of the way, which included retiring the final 10 batters he went up against. McGreevy is worthy of a long look in the Cardinals' rotation, but for now he's likely headed back to Triple-A Memphis, where he's posted a 4.08 ERA and 25:7 K:BB over 28.2 innings this season.

Johnson struck out two in 1.1 scoreless innings Sunday to record his third hold of the season in a win over the Dodgers.

The right-hander was expected to be one of Atlanta's top setup men this season, but a bumpy beginning to 2025 moved him down the bullpen hierarchy -- Johnson entered the game in the sixth inning Sunday. He appears to have turned things around however, delivering six straight scoreless appearances with a win, two holds and a 7:0 K:BB.

The Mets optioned Warren to Triple-A Syracuse on Monday.

Warren served as the 27th man during Sunday's doubleheader in St. Louis, tossing a scoreless inning in the first game of the twin bill. He will rejoin the bullpen at Syracuse, where he's posted a 4.35 ERA and 14:9 K:BB across 10.1 innings in 2025.

The Cardinals optioned Munoz to Triple-A Memphis on Monday.

Munoz was the designated 27th man for Sunday's doubleheader against the Mets but did not appear in either contest. He has permitted four runs with a 6:2 K:BB over 4.2 frames during his time with the big club this season.

Casparius is slated to either start of serve as a bulk reliever in Monday's game against the Marlins in Miami, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

MLB.com officially lists Casparius as the Dodgers' probable starting pitcher for Monday, though it's possible manager Dave Roberts makes a late change and deploys an opener in front of the right-hander. Either way, Casparius is poised to handle the bulk of the innings for the Dodgers on Monday and could be in store for multiple turns through the rotation while Los Angeles waits for the likes of Clayton Kershaw (toe), Blake Snell (shoulder), Shohei Ohtani and Tyler Glasnow (shoulder) to complete their throwing progressions. Kershaw is in the midst of a rehab assignment and is the closest to being ready to start for the big club, but Casparius might stick around as a member of a six-man rotation even after Kershaw returns. Including a brutal outing April 12 against the Cubs in which he surrendered six earned runs over 1.2 innings, Casparius has been stellar over his 11 appearances (one start) on the season, logging a 2.91 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 23:3 K:BB in 21.2 innings. He got stretched out to 3.2 innings and 54 pitches in his last relief outing April 27 against the Pirates, so Casparius could be capable of giving the Dodgers five innings Monday if he's economical with his pitch count.

Crews went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Reds.

Crews successfully swiped a bag for the third time in his last four games and leads the Nationals with nine for the season. He's still struggled tremendously at the dish and has just one hit over his last six games. For the year, Crews is slashing .197/.248/.325 with four homers, six RBI, 18 runs, and a 6:36 BB:K in 125 plate appearances.

Garcia went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two RBI in Sunday's win over the Reds.

Garcia plated the game's first run on a sacrifice in the second and then pushed the Nationals ahead for good with a solo shot to right in the seventh. Sunday was Garcia's third multi-RBI effort this season and he now has five RBI over his last five games, bringing his season total up to 12.
