Young (2-4) gave up six runs on eight hits and a walk over 2.2 innings on Thursday, as the Diamondbacks fell to the Angels 7-3.

Making his sixth start of the season, Young lost his third straight and buoyed his season ERA to 5.44. Young's role is liable to change given his struggles of late.

Hudson's X-rays came back negative after he exited Thursday night's game against the Pirates due to right elbow soreness, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Hudson has received good news so far, though he'll likely be re-evaluated within the next few days to determine his status moving forward. His absence would be a big blow to the Cardinals, as he owns a 2.77 ERA and 1.00 WHIP with 31 strikeouts over 37 frames so far this year.

Colome gave up a hit in 1.1 scoreless innings on the way to the save Thursday night against the Twins.

Colome allowed the tying run to reach base with two outs in the ninth inning, but he managed to slam the door by retiring the final batter on a flyout to center. The right-hander has allowed just one run in his last nine appearances, picking up five saves to go along with six strikeouts over that stretch (10.1 innings).

Lopez allowed three runs on four hits and a walk while striking out six over 5.1 innings Thursday against the Twins. He didn't factor into the decision.

Lopez gave up all three of his runs on solo homers, exiting with one out in the sixth after Josh Donaldson left the yard. Lopez got off the hook for the loss, however, as the White Sox rallied to win 4-3 and clinch a playoff spot. Lopez has allowed three or fewer runs in five of six outings this season, though he's struggled to work deep into ballgames.

Graveman (0-3) allowed three runs on two hits and a walk in two-thirds of an inning Thursday, as the Mariners fell to the Giants 6-4.

Graveman inflated his ERA to 8.10 and permitted what ended up being the winning runs. It was only Graveman's seventh appearance of 2020, as he has been battling a bone tumor throughout the summer. He will likely on in a middle-innings relief role for the remainder of the season.

Garcia (1-1) tossed a scoreless sixth inning to become the pitcher of record in the Giants' 6-4 win over Seattle on Thursday afternoon.

Garcia recorded a scoreless inning for the second consecutive day and may begin inching up the bullpen hierarchy. He drops his season ERA to 5.40 with the performance.

Hudson left Thursday's game against the Pirates due to right elbow tightness, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Hudson made it through two scoreless innings before being removed from the contest. He'll likely undergo further testing before the Cardinals release more information on the injury.

Richards is starting Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Orioles, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Richards was recalled from the team's alternate training site earlier in the day, and as expected, the right-hander will toe the rubber for Game 2. He's appeared in eight games this season and owns a 5.34 ERA and 1.67 WHIP with 23 punchouts over 28.2 innings.

Garcia cleared waivers and was granted his release Thursday.

Garcia was designated for assignment after posting inconsistent results in the majors this season. He'll now be free to sign elsewhere prior to the end of the regular season.

Pearson (elbow) threw a successful live batting practice session Wednesday but will remain at the alternate training site for now, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

The next step in the 24-year-old's rehab remains unclear. Manager Charlie Montoyo said Pearson won't return to the rotation down the stretch, but the team is trying to build him up as much as possible as he returns from the right flexor strain.
