    • Falls to Giants
      Valdez (5-4) took the loss Wednesday against San Francisco, allowing five runs on eight hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out one.

      Advice: It was a tough day for Valdez, who allowed two runs in the third inning before the Giants scored three more in the fourth. The 30-year-old Valdez had allowed just five runs in three starts (22 innings) coming into Wednesday's matchup. The left-hander now sports a 3.99 ERA with a 1.21 WHIP and 51:19 K:BB across 67.2 innings this year. Valdez will look to rebound in his next outing, currently scheduled for early next week on the road versus the White Sox. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 8:21 pm
       
    • Framber Valdez gets early hook in loss to Giants
      Framber Valdez was shelled for five runs over four innings on Wednesday in a loss to the Giants.

      Advice: On the heels of a complete-game effort his last time out, Valdez was pulled in this one after just 59 pitches (37 strikes) following four frames. Houston’s ace wasn’t particularly effective in this one as the Giants tagged him for eight hits over four frames. He finished with just one strikeout and only handed out one free pass. He’ll bring a solid 3.99 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 51/19 K/BB ratio across 67 2/3 innings (11 starts) into a favorable road tilt on Wednesday against the floundering White Sox.

    • Set to face hitters soon
      Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Wednesday that Senga (shoulder/triceps) will throw two more bullpen sessions before progressing to facing hitters, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: On Wednesday, Senga threw his second bullpen session since he was shut down with triceps tightness in late May. The session went well, and he will repeat the step two more times before being cleared to face hitters and eventually heading out on a minor-league rehab assignment. Senga has already been ruled out for the rest of the first half, but the righty remains optimistic he can be a contributor for the Mets after the All-Star break. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 1:17 pm

    • Collects third win
      Luzardo (3-5) picked up the win Tuesday, giving up two runs on four hits and a walk over 5.2 innings in a 4-2 victory over the Mets. He struck out four.

      Advice: The southpaw had a bumpy second inning that included plunking his first batters of the year, but Luzardo was otherwise sharp and left the mound after 91 pitches (62 strikes). Since returning from a flexor strain in mid-May, he's gone 3-3 in six starts with a 4.04 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 29:6 K:BB over 35.2 innings. Luzardo will look to build on this performance in his next outing, which lines up to come on the road this weekend against the Nationals. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 3:47 am
       
    • Jesús Luzardo battles through win over Mets
      Jesús Luzardo allowed two runs on four hits in 5 2/3 innings in a win over the Mets on Tuesday.

      Advice: Luzardo had four strikeouts to just one walk while inducing 16 whiffs on 49 swings for a 33 percent whiff rate and 32 percent CSW. He also struggled to command both his slider and changeup on the day, posting sub-40 percent zone rates on both pitches. The left-hander was pulled at 91 pitches with one runner on in the sixth inning. This was an important start for Luzardo’s trade value as the 26th-year-old now has a 5.11 ERA on the season heading into another good matchup against the Nationals this weekend.

    • Next rehab start set
      Williams (elbow) will make his next rehab start Saturday and is expected to throw about four innings and 65 pitches, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Williams covered three frames during his third rehab outing Sunday and will continue building up his workload this weekend. The right-hander could require another start in the minors after that before joining the Guardians, but he should be ready for his season debut in the majors before the end of June.

    • Gavin Williams to make another rehab start Saturday
      Guardians manager Stephen Vogt told reporters Gavin Williams (elbow) will make another minor league rehab start on Saturday.

      Advice: Williams continues to build up his pitch count and stamina as he progresses towards his season debut. The 24-year-old former top pitching prospect has been on the shelf since spring training due to a lingering right elbow issue. Rotoworld Tuesday, 2:08 pm
       
    • Resumes throwing off mound
      Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Tuesday that Senga (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Sunday and will throw another one Wednesday, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.

      Advice: It's the first time Senga has thrown from the bump since he had to be shut down due to right triceps tightness. The hurler originally landed on the injured list due to a shoulder injury and is not expected back until after the All-Star break. Senga will need multiple rehab starts before returning, but it's not clear when he might be ready to pitch in games. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 1:17 pm

    • Kodai Senga to throw bullpen session on Wednesday
      Kodai Senga (shoulder) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Wednesday.

      Advice: Senga isn’t expected to return until after next month’s All-Star break at this juncture as his rehabilitation from an offseason shoulder issue has hit several snags along the way. The 31-year-old righty got through a bullpen session over the weekend without any issues and appears to be finally ramping up his throwing program. No word yet on when he’ll progress to facing hitters before being set for a minor league rehab assignment. Rotoworld Tuesday, 1:12 pm
