Brent Suter - S - Brewers

Brent Suter will start for the Brewers against the Cardinals on Thursday.

Suter was scheduled to pitch on Wednesday, but that start was scrapped when Milwaukee's game against the Pirates was postponed for a later date. The rest of the rotation remains the same, with Junior Guerra, Chase Anderson and Jhoulys Chacin the remaining starters for the series against the Cardinals.

Dee Gordon - OF - Mariners

Dee Gordon went 2-for-5 and drove in two runs during Wednesday's loss to the Yankees.

He plated both runs with a single in the fourth inning. He now owns a .288 batting average with one home run, 17 RBI and 32 runs scored. His best fantasy asset is of course his speed -- he's stolen 19 bases to rank fourth in the majors in that category.

Felix Hernandez - S - Mariners

Felix Hernandez allowed two runs (one earned) in five innings and took a no-decision in a game his team eventually lost to the Yankees on Wednesday.

He sailed through four innings unscathed before allowing a run-scoring single to Aaron Judge in the fifth. He left the game with a three-run lead but that melted away against the bullpen. His record holds at 6-6 with a 5.24 ERA and 1.38 WHIP across 16 starts. He's pitched quite well in three of his last four outings, so it appears safe to start using him in fantasy lineups again despite the ugly ERA.

Brendan McKay - S - Rays

Rays LHP/1B prospect Brendan McKay will miss time with tightness in his right oblique muscle.

The injury is being described as minor, but it's enough to put the two-way prospect on the shelf for at least a few weeks. McKay is considered an upper-echelon prospect on the mound, and he's also one of the best first base prospects in the minors right now, as well. He likely will be back with the Stone Crabs at some point in July, likely in the middle of the month.

Chad Kuhl - S - Pirates

Chad Kuhl will start against the Diamondbacks on Thursday.

Kuhl was supposed to be on the bump on Wednesday, but his start against the Brewers was rained out. No changes will come to the order of the rotation, with Kuhl going Thursday followed by Ivan Nova, Joe Musgrove and Trevor Williams in the four-game series against the Diamondbacks.

Lorenzo Cain - OF - Brewers

Wednesday's game between the Pirates and Brewers has been postponed.

There was hope that the game could be played, but ultimately there was too much rain and not enough of a window for it to start. There's no word yet as to when the game will be rescheduled.

Chris Tillman - S - Orioles

Chris Tillman will make a second rehab start on Monday for Low-A Delmarva.

Tillman started on Wednesday for short-season Aberdeen and struggled; allowing three runs over two innings on two hits and a pair of walks. The results aren't really important here, as it's just about building up arm strength. He'll get a chance to do more on Monday, with a reported four innings or 60 pitches coming -- whichever comes first. Tillman likely rejoins the Orioles near the beginning of July.

Jose Urena - S - Marlins

Jose Urena told reporters that he felt "something in his arm" during Wednesday's start against the Giants.

Urena was cruising through the start before needing 39 pitches to get two outs in the sixth inning. As Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports, Urena's velocity didn't waiver, but velocity isn't always a connection to fatigue or an injury. The Marlins will monitor Urena over the coming days, and we should find out more about his status before Saturday.
