Voth (1-5) picked up the win in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Phillies, allowing one run on three hits and a walk over seven innings. He struck out a season-high seven.

It goes into the books as a complete game, and Voth has now delivered two straight one-run outings. The hot streak has only lowered his ERA to 6.25, however, and the lone run against him Tuesday came on a solo shot by Jean Segura -- the 12th homer Voth has served up in 44.2 innings. He'll get one more turn on the mound this season as the Nats host the Mets on Sunday.

Phillips was removed from Tuesday's loss to the Red Sox with right elbow soreness, Jon Meoli of The Baltimore Sun reports.

The 26-year-old didn't record an out in 17 pitches Tuesday, giving up three runs on two hits and two walks. Phillips battled elbow issues in the spring and early summer, but it's unclear if the current soreness is related. He'll be further evaluated Wednesday.

Manaea, who is scheduled to make his final start of the regular season Wednesday against the Dodgers, is a likely candidate to also start the Athletics' first playoff game next week, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Gallegos suggests Manaea's strong work since mid-August -- he owns a 4-1 record, 2.45 ERA and 0.91 WHIP across his last six starts -- makes him the best option at manager Bob Melvin's disposal as the postseason approaches. The left-hander found himself in a similar position last season, as he put together a 4-0 September after returning from a shoulder injury and was named the starter for the AL Wild Card Game against the Rays, an outing in which he allowed three home runs over two innings in what was a 5-1 Athletics loss.

Lopez didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 5-3 extra-inning loss to Cleveland, allowing one run on three hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out three.

A solo shot by Cesar Hernandez was the only blemish on his performance, and the White Sox took Lopez off the hook for a potential loss with a run in the top of the sixth inning. The right-hander has been solid since his return to the rotation, posting a 2.35 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 11:4 K:BB over three starts and 15.1 innings, and he'll make one more trip to the mound during the regular season in Sunday's finale against the Cubs.

Colome delivered a scoreless inning during Tuesday's loss to the Indians and didn't return for a second frame due to back spasms, Adam Hoge of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

The veteran righty needed only six pitches to retire the side in the ninth to force extra innings and was set to return for the bottom of the 10th after Chicago took the lead, but the back spasms prevented him from retaking the mound. Colome should be considered day-to-day, and the White Sox are likely to remain cautious with their closer in the final days of the regular season with a playoff berth already secured.

Hader had two strikeouts and didn't allow a baserunner during a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Reds.

It was vintage form for the left-hander, as he threw 10 of his 13 pitches for strikes and delivered only one non-fastball. Hader has a 4.24 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 28:10 K:BB through 17 innings and is 11-for-13 in save opportunities.

Rolison didn't travel with the Rockies for the season-ending road trip this week, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports.

The team previously indicated the left-hander would travel with the club for the final trip of the season, but he'll instead face live competition in Arizona in preparation of the instructional league that begins in October. Rolison appeared to have a chance of making his major-league debut, but he'll have to wait until at least 2021.

Ponce de Leon is scheduled to start during Friday's doubleheader against the Brewers, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

The 28-year-old started during a twin bill last week and allowed two runs over five innings, and he'll take the mound Friday. Ponce de Leon has a 3.27 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 18:3 K:BB over 11 frames in his past two starts and will look to continue that run in his final outing of the regular season.

Hudson (forearm) was transferred to the 45-day injured list Tuesday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

The 26-year-old was already considered doubtful to pitch again this season, and his placement on the 45-day IL guarantees he won't be eligible to be activated until November. Hudson was previously scheduled to undergo further evaluation Tuesday to determine the next steps in his recovery, but according to Jones that appointment has been rescheduled for Wednesday.

Zimmermann will be moved to the bullpen for the remainder of the regular season, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Zimmermann made his major-league debut as a starter Thursday when he settled for a no-decision. However, he'll shift to the bullpen for the remainder of the season as manager Brandon Hyde said he'll try to use him in situations where he can pitch for several innings.
