Keller struck out six in seven scoreless innings while allowing two hits and three walks in a 4-3 loss Sunday against St. Louis. He did not factor into the decision.

Keller was efficient and effective Sunday, throwing 91 pitches and allowing only one runner to reach second base. He's yet to give up a run in two starts and 13 innings in September. Over his last 11 starts, he has a 2.55 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 49:19 K:BB in 60 innings. He'll look to continue his scoreless streak in his next start, likely next weekend in New York against the Mets.

Quintana allowed a run on four hits and a walk while striking out four in 5.2 innings in a 4-3 win Sunday in Pittsburgh. He did not factor into the decision.

The lone tally against Quintana came in the third inning when two singles and a fielder's choice led to a run. He then retired 10 of 11 batters before allowing a two-out single in the sixth and being removed. He has allowed two earned runs or fewer in each of his eight starts for St. Louis and has a 2.93 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and only one homer allowed in 40 innings for the team. His next start will likely be next weekend against Cincinnati.

Woodruff (10-4) earned the win against the Reds on Sunday. He allowed two runs on five hits and one walk over six innings with 11 strikeouts.

Woodruff had the Reds guessing all afternoon as he fanned 11 on the day, good for his fourth start of 10 or more strikeouts this season. The quality start was good news for the righty as he had been pulled before reaching six innings in three of his previous five starts heading into Sunday. He tentatively lines up to face the Yankees in his next start.

Dunn (1-3) took the loss Sunday, allowing six runs on six hits and three walks over three innings in a 7-6 loss against the Brewers. He struck out one.

The Brewers had little trouble against Dunn on Sunday, as he surrendered three homers on the day, including back-to-back jacks to Willy Adames and Rowdy Tellez in the second inning. Sunday marked Dunn's second straight outing with more walks than strikeouts, displaying yet again his lack of command. He will take a 6.10 ERA into his next start.

Nelson is slated to start Monday's game against the Dodgers at Chase Field, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Nelson will unsurprisingly receive another turn through the rotation after he dazzled in his MLB debut Sept. 5 against the Padres, striking out seven over seven scoreless frames in a winning effort. The Dodgers present a stiff test for the 24-year-old righty, who will tentatively line up for a two-start week. His second turn comes next weekend at home in a rematch with the Padres.

Carrasco (14-6) earned the win Saturday, allowing one run on four hits over six innings against the Marlins. He struck out six.

Carrasco allowed an RBI double by Garrett Cooper to put the Marlins up 1-0 but was otherwise unscored upon. The righty has been shutting opponents down in his last 10 games with a solid 2.19 ERA over 53.1 innings. The 35-year-old's 3.80 ERA in 2022 is a nice bounce-back from his 6.04 ERA in 53.2 innings during 2021.

Lopez (8-10) took the loss Saturday, allowing eight runs on 10 hits and three walks over 3.2 innings against the Mets. He struck out two.

Lopez allowed five runs on multiple RBI singles and an RBI double from Eduardo Escobar, and the remaining three runs were charged to him on a grand slam given up by lefty reliever Andrew Nardi off the bat of outfielder Mark Canha. Lopez has had serious walk issues in his last seven starts, issuing 14 free passes in 35 innings. In addition, the 26-year-old has allowed nine hits or more in three of his last eight starts.

Suarez (9-5) earned the win Saturday, allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk over 6.2 innings against the Nationals. He struck out four.

Suarez surrendered a two-run homer to Joey Meneses to open the scoring with one out in the third and later allowed an RBI double off the bat of Ildemaro Vargas. The lefty has been shaky in his last four starts, recording a 5.40 ERA and 1.55 WHIP over 20 innings. Interestingly, the 27-year-old has been significantly better on the road this season with a 2.76 ERA in 75 innings compared to a 4.70 ERA in 59.1 innings at home.

Fried (13-6) took the loss against Seattle on Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits and no walks while striking out six batters over six innings.

Fried was excellent in the outing, inducing 14 swinging strikes and finishing with his 20th quality start of the campaign. However, the Mariners got to him for a pair of solo homers -- one by Sam Haggerty and another by Eugenio Suarez -- and that was enough to send the lefty to a loss on a night when Atlanta managed only a single run of its own. Fried hasn't given up more than two earned runs in an outing since July 25, and he's posted a 1.84 ERA and 38:6 K:BB across 44 innings over his past seven starts.

Snell (6-9) took the loss against the Dodgers on Saturday, allowing five runs on seven hits and three walks over four innings. He struck out five batters.

Snell was fine through four innings, allowing just a third-inning run and four hits. However, he was pummeled for four runs without recording an out in the fifth, with the big blow coming on a three-run double off the bat of Trea Turner. Snell had allowed just one run over his past 12 innings coming into the start, but he was unable to continue that momentum and took his career-worst ninth loss of the campaign. The left-hander's season ERA rose to 4.02 as a result of the poor outing.
