Falter yielded one run on four hits and two walks over 4.2 innings against Atlanta on Sunday. He struck out three and did not factor in the decision.

Falter had earned a win in five straight outings before failing to record a decision in Sunday's loss. The only damage against him came from Robbie Grossman's RBI double in the third frame. Falter is now sporting a 3.68 ERA with a 62:15 K:BB through 17 appearances. The 25-year-old southpaw is sporting a 2.45 ERA across his last seven starts. Falter is projected to start at home against Atlanta next week.

Strider (11-5) allowed one run on a hit and three walks over six innings Sunday, striking out 10 and earning a win over the Phillies.

Strider fired five shutout frames before Alec Bohm tagged him with a solo shot in the sixth inning. The electrifying rookie recorded double-digit strikeouts for the sixth time this season and now owns a terrific 202:45 K:BB through just 131.2 frames. Strider has given up two or fewer earned runs in 13 of his last 15 starts, posting a 2.25 ERA across 84 frames during that stretch. He's lined up to start in Philadelphia next week.

Alcantara (13-8) allowed one run on seven hits and a walk in a complete-game win over Washington on Sunday. He struck out seven batters.

Alcantara continued his push for the NL Cy Young with yet another terrific performance Sunday. The lone run against him came during the fourth inning on Luis Garcia's double-play groundout. The 27-year-old righty lowered his ERA to 2.37 across a league-leading 212.2 innings. Alcantara has thrown three complete games since the start of August, posting a 3.27 ERA with a 50:10 K:BB through nine starts during that stretch. He's lined up for a rematch with the Nationals at home next week.

DeGrom allowed three runs on four hits while striking out 13 in five innings in a 7-3 win Sunday against Pittsburgh. He did not factor into the decision.

DeGrom was nearly unhittable through the first five innings, allowing a double to Oneil Cruz to begin the game before striking out 13 of the next 15 batters he faced. The Pirates got to him in the sixth, though, as the first two batters recorded singles and Cruz deposited a pitch into the seats for a three-run homer. DeGrom has allowed homers in four of his last five appearances and has allowed three runs in each of his last two starts. With Sunday's 13 punchouts, he's struck out 44.1 percent of batters faced this year. His next start will likely be next weekend in Oakland.

Oviedo allowed three runs on five hits, four walks and a hit batsman while striking out six batters in four innings in a 7-3 loss Sunday against the Mets. He did not factor into the decision.

Oviedo got off to a rough start as eight of the first 12 batters he faced reached safely, leading to three runs. He eventually settled down, retiring eight of the last 10 batters he faced. Walks have always been a bit of an issue for the 24-year-old, but the problem has compounded since joining the Pirates, as he's walked 21.5 percent of batters faced as a member of the team. He has a 4.61 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 16:14 K:BB in 13.2 innings in four starts as a Pirate. His next start will likely be next weekend against the Cubs.

Montgomery (8-5) took the loss Sunday versus the Reds. He allowed three runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out nine over 5.1 innings.

The Cardinals mustered only two hits and four walks, putting just three of those six baserunners in scoring position. That was insufficient help for Montgomery, who was not at his sharpest for a second straight start. This was the third time in nine starts as a Cardinal the southpaw has allowed multiple runs. He now has a 3.26 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 150:34 K:BB through 168.1 innings between the Yankees and the Cardinals this season. He'll look to put an end to this mini-slump next weekend in a tough projected road start versus the Dodgers.

Nelson was removed from Sunday's game against the Padres in the top of the sixth inning after being hit by a comebacker on his upper right arm, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

Nelson allowed four runs (three earned) on three hits and four walks while striking out three in 5.1 innings to begin Sunday's matchup, but his start was cut short due to his injury. He threw a few warmup pitches and seemed to want to stay in Sunday's matchup, but he was ultimately removed. If he's cleared to make his next turn through the rotation, he tentatively lines up to start at home against the Giants on Friday.

Feltner (3-8) allowed three runs on six hits and a walk while striking out four batters over 5.1 innings to earn the win Sunday over the Cubs.

Feltner had some trouble against Yan Gomes, who tagged the Rockies' starter for a two-run single in the third inning and a solo home run in the sixth. The Rockies had already scored four times in the first two innings, so Feltner's struggles didn't cost him a positive result. The right-hander has completed six innings in just three of his outings this year, and he's allowed at least three runs in five straight starts. He has a 6.05 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 72:29 K:BB through 80.1 innings across 17 appearances (16 starts). He's lined up for a home start versus the Padres in his next outing.

Wood (shoulder) wasn't cleared to resume throwing this weekend and was shut down for the season Sunday by the Giants, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

The left-hander has been sidelined with a shoulder impingement since the start of September, and he won't be able to rejoin the active roster during the final weeks of the season. Wood will finish the campaign with a 5.10 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 131:30 K:BB across 130.2 innings. He's under contract for 2023 at $12.5 million, which is the final year of his deal.

Anderson will return from the paternity list to start one of the two games in Tuesday's doubleheader against the Diamondbacks, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Anderson landed on the paternity list Saturday and will rejoin the Dodgers on Monday once the team returns to Los Angeles. The Dodgers haven't yet announced which game Anderson will start during the doubleheader, but Michael Grove will pitch during the other game. Over his last seven starts, Anderson has posted a 1.94 ERA and 1.01 WHIP in 46.1 innings.
