Gray had allowed just one run on three hits in his first six innings of work, but he allowed a walk and two singles early in the seventh inning and watched all three runners come around to score against the bullpen. Not that it would have mattered since the Cardinals couldn’t put any runs on the board against Mitch Keller. Gray will hope for better luck next week in a good matchup against the Nationals.

Contreras was hit by a pitch on his hand during Tuesday’s game. His X-rays came back negative, but he’s understandably a little sore today, in the best-case scenario. There is still time for the Cardinals to put Contreras on the IL if that’s the route they choose to go, but so far, all we know is that he will now start on Wednesday. Alec Burleson will play first base, and Jose Fermin will start in right field.

The 24-year-old is 8-1 with a 2.28 ERA and 1.12 WHIP in 67 innings at Triple-A this year. We’re not sure what more he has to prove at this level to get a spot in the Cardinals’ rotation.

This certainly qualifies as an unexpected development. Jung has been mired in a prolonged slump at the dish for the last few weeks, hitting .164 (19-for-116) with one homer and 16 RBI over his last 30 games. He’s struggled to a lackluster .237/.283/.366 slash line with just eight homers and 35 RBI over 75 games this season. He’ll get a chance to reset at the Triple-A level and work on things out of the spotlight. It’ll likely be some combination of Josh Smith and Ezequiel Duran taking over at the hot corner.

Bohm enjoyed a strong month of June, but is just 4-for-32 over his last eight games, so the Phillies are likely just lightening his load a bit. Edmundo Sosa will start at third base and bat eighth in the first game.

Whitcomb gets the call to replace Jeremy Peña on Houston’s active roster after the starting shortstop hit the injured list earlier this week with a small fracture in his left ribs. The 26-year-old offers some defensive versatility, and has put up some monster numbers at the Triple-A level the past few years. However, he’s been unable to put it together at the highest level and carve out a semi-permanent role. The talent is there and he’ll continue getting chances to make it as a utility specialist.
