Urena (3-7) allowed two earned runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out six across 5.2 innings to take the loss Thursday against the Giants.

The big swing against Urena came on a solo home run by Mike Yastrzemski in the sixth inning. Otherwise, the right-hander generated an impressive 15 swinging strikes on 94 total pitches and also induced six groundball outs. He's pitched well across his last three starts, maintaining a 2.12 ERA across 17 frames. However, for the season, Urena still owns a 5.34 ERA with a 53:39 K:BB in 86 innings.

Musgrove allowed a run on five hits and two walks while striking out four in five innings in a 5-4 loss Thursday against St. Louis. He did not factor into the decision.

Musgrove allowed two baserunners in each of the first two innings but managed to get out of each without a run scoring. The lone run came on a Lars Nootbaar solo homer in the fifth. He was removed after throwing just 72 pitches with the Padres leading 3-1. Homers have been a bit of an issue for him since the All-Star break, as he's allowed 13 long balls in 66 innings after allowing nine in 99 first-half frames. His next start will likely be in the middle of next week against the Dodgers.

Flaherty (1-1) picked up the victory Thursday in San Diego, striking out nine in six innings while allowing three runs (two earned) on four hits and four walks.

In St. Louis' 141st game of the season, Flaherty finally picked up his first victory. It was his first time pitching more than five innings in a game this year, and his nine punchouts were a season high. In four starts since returning from a shoulder injury, he's compiled a 4.29 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 20:11 K:BB in 21 innings. His next start will likely be in the middle of next week in Milwaukee.

Burrows (shoulder) has recently progressed to throwing from approximately 120 feet, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.

Burrows has been unavailable for nearly a month due to his shoulder injury, but it's encouraging he's been cleared to resume throwing. The right-hander has also been throwing off a mound, and the Pirates hope that he'll be able to return to make another start at Triple-A Indianapolis prior to the end of the regular season.

Manager Craig Counsell said Peralta (shoulder) could pitch during the Brewers' four-game series in Cincinnati this weekend, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Peralta last pitched Sept. 8 against San Francisco when he exited the game early due to fatigue in his throwing shoulder. He also missed time earlier in the season due to a strain in the same shoulder. The Brewers currently have no starter listed for Sunday's contest against the Reds, so it is possible Peralta is re-inserted into the rotation then.

Garrett was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

The 25-year-old was sent down last week but will likely start Friday against the Nationals after Trevor Rogers (lat) was placed on the 15-day injured list. Since Rogers will be unavailable for the remainder of the season, it seems likely that Garrett will be able to remain in the rotation down the stretch. Garrett has made 14 major-league starts this year and has posted a 3.68 ERA and 1.19 WHIP in 73.1 innings.

Rogers was placed on the 15-day injured list with a left lat strain Thursday, retroactive to Sept. 19, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Rogers has already been ruled out for the remainder of the season due to a Grade 1 lat strain, so his move to the injured list was expected. However, the southpaw should be able to have a relatively normal offseason program since his strain isn't considered particularly severe. Braxton Garrett was called up Thursday and could take Rogers' place in the starting rotation.

Soroka was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday due to elbow soreness, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Soroka spent most of the season recovering from an Achilles injury and was sent to Gwinnett after being reinstated from the injured list at the beginning of September. He posted a 6.23 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in 13 innings over three starts following his activation but will now miss the remainder of the season. However, the right-hander isn't believed to be dealing with any structural damage, so it's possible that he's ready for the start of spring training in 2023.

Marquez (8-12) took the loss on Wednesday against the Giants, allowing four runs (three earned) on nine hits over five innings. He struck out six and also walked a batter.

Marquez got himself into trouble early and often, giving up a leadoff double to LaMonte Wade in the first, who came around to score the game's first run. The right-hander would then allow the leadoff man to reach base in three of the next four innings. September hasn't been kind to Marquez as he now holds a 6.26 ERA through four starts this month.

Webb (14-9) picked up the win on Wednesday, shutting out the Rockies over 5.1 innings while allowing just one hit and striking out five. He did not issue a walk but did hit a batter.

Webb brought his best stuff in this one as he cruised through the first five innings without allowing a hit. He was then removed from the game with one out in the sixth after he allowed a single to Sean Bouchard. The right-hander threw only 66 pitches, including 13 first-pitch strikes, but he made an early exit as the Giants are managing his workload down the stretch since he's already thrown a career-high 187.1 innings. Webb is projected for a rematch with the Rockies next week in San Francisco.
