Cabrera gave up two runs on three hits and three walks while striking out four before departing after 3.2 innings in Sunday's start against Atlanta due to a sore right big toe, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

At the time of his removal, Cabrera was already at 75 pitches in the outing and was struggling with both his command and control, so he likely wouldn't have worked much longer into Sunday's contest if the injury hadn't intervened. He was spared a loss after the Marlins rallied to tie the game in the sixth inning, but it's not yet clear if Cabrera will be ready to pitch when his next turn through the rotation comes up next weekend versus Pittsburgh.

Flaherty (shoulder) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Thursday, Alex Stumpf of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

Flaherty suffered a shoulder strain in late August. He's been playing catch for the past week and will get back on a mound soon, but he isn't expected to have time to build back up to a starter's workload. He does still appear to have time to make a few appearances as a reliever if he avoids setbacks.

Walker allowed five earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out eight across six innings in the loss to the Yankees on Saturday. He did not factor into the decision.

Walker surrendered three home runs, all in the second inning. All five runs he allowed came in that inning via home runs. He has struggled recently, posting a 6.85 ERA in 22.1 innings over his last four starts. His next start is scheduled for Friday against the Phillies.

Feltner is listed as the Rockies' starting pitcher for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

Feltner was expected to make just one turn through the rotation after he was called up from Triple-A Albuquerque last weekend, but he'll end up drawing a second start after Chi Chi Gonzalez (oblique) was moved to the injured list Wednesday. The right-hander didn't inspire much confidence in his MLB debut against Atlanta, working only 2.2 innings while giving up six runs on five hits -- including three home runs -- and two walks in a losing effort.

Kelly (illness) will throw a bullpen session Monday before the Diamondbacks decide on his next steps, MLB.com reports.

The right-hander worked his pitch count to 66 in a rehab start last Thursday, which could set him up for a shortened start in the majors as soon as Wednesday if Monday's bullpen session goes according to plan. Kelly has been on the COVID-19 injured list since Aug. 14 after testing positive for the virus.

Gray didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 10-7 loss to the Pirates, coughing up five runs on three hits and six walks over five innings. He struck out four.

The right-hander threw only 54 of 100 pitches for strikes, and when he did get the ball over the plate it got hit hard, as Bryan Reynolds and Ben Gamel both took him deep. The wheels have suddenly come off for Gray, and after posting a 2.89 ERA and 1.11 WHIP through his first five starts as a Nat, he's been tagged with a 12.75 ERA and 2.25 WHIP over his last three.

Paddack (7-7) took the loss in Saturday's 5-4 defeat at the hands of the Dodgers, allowing four runs on three hits and two walks with five strikeouts in 4.2 innings.

Paddack was excellent in limiting traffic on the bases, but most of the runners who did make it on ended up scoring. The big blow came in the fifth after Paddack was removed with two on and two out in a 2-2 game. Reliever Craig Stammen served up a three-run home run to Mookie Betts that ended up being the difference in the game. The poor outing comes after two solid performances. Paddack currently is slated to face San Francisco next week.

Morton pitched seven innings against Miami on Saturday, allowing three runs on six hits and no walks while striking out seven. He did not factor in the decision.

Things looked bleak for the veteran hurler early on, as Miami tagged him for three runs through two innings. However, Morton rebounded by holding the Marlins to just two hits and no runs the rest of the way. The right-hander tossed 64 of 91 pitches for strikes and gave Atlanta seven innings for the second straight outing. He'll carry a 3.49 ERA into his next start, which is expected to come in San Francisco next weekend.

Buehler (14-3) got the win in Saturday's 5-4 victory over San Diego, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks with five strikeouts in seven innings.

After enduring his worst start of the season during his last time out, Buehler responded Saturday with a customary quality performance. The eight baserunners and five whiffs are subpar for the hard-throwing righty, but Buehler was able to limit the damage to a two-run Fernando Tatis home run and kept his pitch count in double digits. He currently lines up to pitch next in Cincinnati on Friday.

Mikolas did not factor in the decision against Cincinnati on Saturday, allowing four runs on six hits and one walk while striking out one over five innings.

The right-hander was mostly effective outside of the third inning, when he surrendered four runs on four hits, including a pair of homers. He didn't miss many bats, however, notching just one punchout and five swinging strikes. Mikolas has yet to pick up a win through six outings this season, and his 5.47 ERA along with subpar strikeout numbers make him an unexciting fantasy option. He's likely to next take the mound at home against the Padres on Friday.
