Colome tossed a perfect ninth inning and earned the save in Sunday's win over Detroit.

After Steve Cishek allowed two hits without recording an out in the ninth, Colome needed just 11 pitches to retire the next three batters in order and secure the victory. The 31-year-old righty has converted 11 of 12 save chances and owns a terrific 1.02 ERA this season.

May was removed from Sunday's win against Cleveland as a precautionary measure due to mild cramps in his back, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

May threw 17 pitches Sunday, but he was removed in the top of the sixth inning due to his injury. However, it's unlikely that he'll miss significant time as his removal was labeled as precautionary. The right-hander carries a 5.00 ERA and 28:4 K:BB over 18 innings this season.

Yarbrough will serve as the primary pitcher Tuesday against the Nationals, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The left-hander returned from the injured list last week and surrendered four runs over 2.2 innings during his first start back, and he'll follow opener John Curtiss his next time out. Yarbrough regularly worked as a primary pitcher in 2019, but up until now he'd been working exclusively as a traditional starter this season. He has a 4.31 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 27:10 K:BB over 39.2 innings.

Curtiss will serve as the opener Tuesday against the Nationals, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The 27-year-old will open for the second time this season, with Ryan Yarbrough following in the bulk role. Curtiss hasn't allowed an earned run over his past 10 innings and has a 1.53 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 18:2 K:BB across 17.2 frames this season.

White completed a four-inning simulated game Sunday and is in line to start Friday against the Rockies, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

The 25-year-old delivered a scoreless inning during his big-league debut in late August, and it appears his second outing could be his first MLB start. The Dodgers are employing a bullpen day Sunday with Walker Buehler (finger) on the injured list, but White appears on track to fill in for Buehler's next turn in the rotation.

Graterol (knee) will start Sunday night's game against the Astros, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

The 22-year-old hasn't pitched since Wednesday after he tweaked his knee, but he'll return to the mound Sunday with the Dodgers opting for a bullpen game. Graterol's longest outing this season has been 1.2 innings, so it's unlikely he'll pitch more than two frames.

The Phillies optioned Brogdon to their alternate training site following their 2-1 loss to the Marlins in the first game of Sunday's doubleheader.

With top backstop J.T. Realmuto (hip) not available for either end of the twin bill, the Phillies called up catcher Rafael Marchan to add some depth behind the plate after Andrew Knapp drew the start in Game 1. Marchan will take the active roster spot of Brogdon, who struck out four over 2.1 perfect innings of long relief in the Phillies' 2-1 loss in the first game.

Chapman's appeal of the three-game suspension he received earlier this month is expected to be heard Monday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Chapman received the three-game ban after throwing a pitch near the head of the Rays' Mike Brosseau in a Sept. 1 game. If Chapman's suspension isn't reduced at all and he's forced to sit out beginning with Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays, fantasy managers may have a tough time justifying keeping him active during the Yankees' six-game week.

Guerra was placed on the 10-day injured list for personal reasons Sunday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

The Friars didn't provide a reason for the move, but it apparently isn't related to COVID-19. Guerra hasn't seen game action since Sept. 4, and he will now be unavailable a bit longer.

The Giants recalled Garcia from their alternate training site Sunday.

Garcia had been optioned to the alternate site Thursday, but he'll be eligible to return before the minimum amount of time after the Giants placed reliever Trevor Gott (elbow) on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. The 26-year-old right-hander will provide the Giants with some length out of the bullpen in Sunday's doubleheader with the Padres.
