  • Ryan Feltner SP | COL

    Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Managing arm cramps

    Feltner was removed from Tuesday's game against the Cardinals due to cramping in his right arm, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

    Feltner pitched six-plus innings before exiting the game, giving up two earned runs on six hits and a walk while striking out six batters. Manager Bud Black said he didn't want to risk Feltner pitching while his arm was bothering him, which explains the decision to pull the right-hander after he threw just one pitch in the seventh. The team doesn't believe Feltner's injury to be anything too serious, and he's still expected to make his next scheduled start in Sunday's season finale versus the Dodgers.

  • Ryan Weathers SP | MIA

    Marlins' Ryan Weathers: Earns win Tuesday

    Weathers (4-6) allowed a run on six hits and two walks while striking out two over five innings to earn the win over the Twins on Tuesday.

    Weathers did better in his second start back from a finger injury. The Marlins gave him a four-run lead in the second inning, and he only gave one run back on Royce Lewis' RBI single in the third. Weathers has generally pitched well this year, allowing two runs or fewer in seven of his 15 starts. He's at a 3.81 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 74:22 K:BB across 80.1 innings. Weathers is tentatively projected to make one more start at Toronto this weekend.

  • Tobias Myers SP | MIL

    Brewers' Tobias Myers: Goes four innings vs. Pittsburgh

    Myers didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Pirates, allowing two runs on six hits over four innings. He struck out four.

    Myers has hit a bit of a snag down the stretch, allowing seven runs over 14 innings in his last three outings. Still, it's been an impressive campaign overall for the rookie right-hander -- Myers is 8-6 with a 3.09 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 122:36 K:BB across 134 innings. He'll look to head into the playoffs on a high note in his final regular-season outing, currently scheduled for this weekend at home against the Mets.

  • Nationals' Mitchell Parker: Works five scoreless frames

    Parker did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's extra-innings loss to Kansas City, pitching six scoreless innings while allowing five hits and two walks. He struck out five.

    The rookie left-hander entered this outing with an unsightly 5.59 ERA in 19.1 September frames and stymied the ice-cold Royals over his 91 pitches. Although he's struggled to contain lineups, Parker has been a consistent source of strikeouts, as he notched his eighth start out of his last nine with five or more Ks. Overall, the 24-year-old now sports a 4.29 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 133:43 K:BB across 151 innings this season. Parker is not currently scheduled to make another start this season but may appear out of the bullpen this weekend.

  • Bailey Falter SP | PIT

    Pirates' Bailey Falter: Falls to Brewers

    Falter (8-9) took the loss Tuesday against Milwaukee, allowing four runs on five hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out five.

    Faltner's now dropped back-to-back outings, allowing six runs over 10.2 innings in that span, after going eight starts without a loss. The left-hander will carry a 4.26 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 97:42 K:BB into his final start of the year, currently scheduled for this weekend on the road versus the Yankees.

  • Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw: Not ready to face hitters

    Manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that Kershaw (toe) won't face hitters this week, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Roberts added that Kershaw will continue to throw bullpen sessions, though the manager's comments make it seem highly unlikely that the veteran lefty makes another appearance during the regular season. He still has a chance to contribute to the Dodgers' playoff run, though that will likely depend on how fast his toe heals and how far Los Angeles advances in the postseason.

  • Gavin Stone SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Gavin Stone: Transferred to 60-day IL

    Stone (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.

    Stone was already expected to miss the remainder of the 2024 regular season, and his move to the 60-day IL opens up a spot for Edgardo Henriquez on the 40-man roster. Stone is still working his way back from right shoulder inflammation, and he'll now be unavailable for the postseason.

  • Dodgers' Edgardo Henriquez: Promoted from Triple-A

    The Dodgers called up Henriquez from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Henriquez started the season in Single-A ball and has now reached his fifth level within the organization in 2024, propelled by a fastball that's touched as high as 104 mph. The 22-year-old posted a 4.26 ERA and 1.97 WHIP in 12.2 innings across 14 games with Triple-A Oklahoma City, posting an 18:10 K:BB in the process. Henriquez was not on the 40-man roster ahead of the three game set against the Padres, so a corresponding move is imminent.

  • Reynaldo Lopez SP | ATL

    Braves' Reynaldo Lopez: Throws bullpen session

    Lopez (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Tuesday and could potentially return before the end of the regular season, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

    Lopez is eligible for activation from the 15-day injured list Thursday as he works his way back from right shoulder inflammation. A return as a reliever would seem likelier, although Atlanta doesn't appear to have ruled out bringing him back as a starter on what would surely be a limited pitch count. Where the club sits in the wild-card standings later this week could be a factor in its decision on Lopez.

  • Josh Knoth SP | MIL

    Brewers' Josh Knoth: Ends season on shelf

    Single-A Carolina placed Knoth on the 7-day injured list Aug. 27 with an undisclosed injury.

    It was an understandably uneven first full season for Knoth, who turned 19 just a couple weeks before landing on the shelf. The 6-foot-1 righty logged a 4.48 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 96:40 K:BB in 84.1 innings across 21 starts, although his 3.58 xFIP suggests he was a bit unlucky. He had three starts with seven strikeouts and one start where he struck out nine in 4.2 innings, so the swing-and-miss upside is there. However, he also had a five-walk start and a four-walk start. Knoth still has a high ceiling, but in addition to needing to improve his command and changeup, there's now this undisclosed injury to monitor heading into the offseason.
