Colome is under the weather and may not be available for Monday's game against Houston, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

It's unclear as to when Colome began to feel sick, but the issue isn't expected to keep him out for long. He'll be considered day-to-day moving forward.

Shafer is dealing with a Grade 1 flexor strain, Gregor Chisholm of MLB.com reports.

Shafer will be unavailable until he's further evaluated when the Blue Jays return home Thursday. Depending on the severity of the issue, the soon-to-be 26-year-old may not pitch again this season.

An MRI on Fulmer's right knee revealed damage to the meniscus, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

The severity of the damage remains unclear, but this could very well mean the end of Fulmer's 2018 season. He's set to have the MRI results reviewed by Dr. James Andrews.

Phillips is listed as the starter for Monday's game against the Blue Jays, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

Phillips will get the ball for Monday's series opener with Andrew Cashner (knee) unable to take his turn. The 24-year-old has made just one career start -- with Triple-A Gwinnett in 2017 -- so this will likely be a bullpen game for the Orioles. Phillips has allowed 10 runs (eight earned) through 3.1 innings with the big club this season.

Chapman (knee) threw a 22-pitch simulated game Monday, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

Everything went off without a hitch as Chapman faced Tyler Wade and Kyle Higashioka. The Yankees will likely wait and see how the closer feels Tuesday, but if everything checks out OK there's a chance he could be cleared to rejoin the bullpen ahead of Tuesday's series opener against the Red Sox.

Mengden is scheduled to work as the primary pitcher behind opener Liam Hendriks in Tuesday's game against the Angels, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

After making his first 16 appearances this season as a member of the Oakland rotation, Mengden has shifted to the bullpen since being recalled from Triple-A Nashville in late August. Despite the change in when he enters games, Mengden has remained a de facto starter, covering four-plus innings in three of his four relief outings. The Athletics aren't likely to deviate from how they use Mengden anytime soon, as he's been exceptional in the "primary pitcher" role with a 1.72 ERA and 0.89 WHIP in his four appearances.

Leclerc was not used to close out Sunday's game against the Padres because he had pitched the previous two days, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.

Leclerc expended 38 pitches in appearances Friday and Saturday and was rightly given the day off Sunday. Jeffrey Springs was given the save chance Sunday, but it didn't end well. He ceded a walkoff grand slam to San Diego's Franciso Mejia.

Devenski has appeared in three games since he was activated from the disabled list Aug. 29. He's allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits, including two home runs, over three innings.

Devenski has looked rusty since his return from nearly a month-long stint on the DL due to a hamstring injury, but hasn't been given an opportunity to knock off that rust. He most recently appeared in Saturday's blowout win, his first appearance after an 11-day break, as manager A.J. Hinch doesn't appear eager to use the right-hander. At this point, a spot on the postseason roster appears unlikely for the 2017 All-Star, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Barria didn't factor into the decision against Seattle on Sunday, giving up three earned runs on six hits over five innings, striking out three and walking one in the Angels' 4-3 victory.

The 22-year-old couldn't quite pick up his 11th win of the season, but he pitched well enough to allow his team to procure the one-run victory. He's been solid overall in his 24 starts for the Angels this season, as he's now sporting a 3.61 ERA and a 1.26 WHIP to go along with a 91 strikeouts in 119.2 innings. He'll take the mound next against the Astros on Saturday.

Giles gave up a hit and struck out two while tossing a scoreless ninth inning and picking up the save Sunday against the Yankees.

Giles continues to serve as a reliable closer for Toronto, racking up three saves in the past week. He hasn't allowed a run since Aug. 29 against Baltimore, and he appears to have found new life with the Blue Jays after struggling earlier in the season with the Astros. Giles owns a 5.05 ERA and 1.27 WHIP with 49 punchouts through 46.1 innings this year.
