  • Jose Quintana SP | COL

    Giants' Jose Quintana: Lands on paternity list

    Quintana was placed on the paternity list Friday, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Players may spend up to three days on paternity leave, so Quintana should be back by Monday's game against the Padres. Jay Jackson was recalled to take his place in the bullpen.

  • Huascar Ynoa SP | LAA

    Braves' Huascar Ynoa: Strikes out seven in no-decision

    Ynoa allowed two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out seven over five innings in a no-decision against the Nationals on Thursday.

    His first inning was a bit of a mess -- Ynoa walked the first batter he faced and then allowed back-to-back hits to Juan Soto and Josh Bell. The right-hander was dominant the rest of the way, allowing just one base knock (a single) over his final four frames. Atlanta's bullpen briefly let the lead slip away, meaning Ynoa is still winless since he returned from the injured list. He projects for a home start against the Rockies next week, which looks like a great spot for Ynoa to finally get back in the win column.

  • Ranger Suarez SP | BOS

    Phillies' Ranger Suarez: Fans six in no-decision

    Suarez allowed one run on five hits and one walk while striking out six over six innings in a no-decision against the Rockies on Thursday.

    This was another impressive effort from Suarez, but he had to sit back and watch as Ian Kennedy served up back-to-back long balls in the ninth to squander his win. Philadelphia's closer earlier this season, Suarez transitioned to the starting rotation when Kennedy was acquired. He's gone at least five innings in each of his last four starts, allowing a total of three earned runs with a 25:6 K:BB in 23 innings during that stretch.

  • Rockies' Antonio Senzatela: Another quality start

    Senzatela allowed two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out three over six innings in a no-decision against the Phillies on Thursday.

    Make it six straight quality starts for Senzatela, who allowed a solo homer to Bryce Harper in the first inning but little else. He was not personally rewarded with a win for his efforts, something he's familiar with -- Senzatela went 10 straight starts without a win from June 8 to Aug. 23 before earning wins in his two starts prior to Thursday. The team context works against him and all the contact leaves him susceptible to blowups, especially at home. Senzatela lines up for a road start in Atlanta next week.

  • Jesus Luzardo SP | PHI

    Marlins' Jesus Luzardo: Ties season high with eight Ks

    Luzardo allowed two runs on two hits and four walks over 5.2 innings in a no-decision Thursday against the Mets. He also had eight strikeouts, matching his season high.

    Luzardo brought in a run with a wild pitch in the first inning and gave up a solo homer to Javier Baez in the third but otherwise limited the damage while working into the sixth inning for the third straight start. After a rough start to his Miami career, Luzardo has settled in lately with a 2.60 ERA and 19:7 K:BB in 17.1 innings over his past three outings. He's tentatively lined up for a road matchup at Washington in his next scheduled start.

  • Marcus Stroman SP | NYY

    Mets' Marcus Stroman: Fans seven in no-decision

    Stroman allowed one run on four hits with seven strikeouts over 6.1 innings in Thursday's no-decision against the Marlins.

    Stroman just keeps humming along, logging his fourth quality start in his last five outings. He put up zeroes for the first five innings Thursday before a Jazz Chisholm RBI groundout finally got the Marlins on the board in the sixth. Stroman is 9-12 on the year despite a sparkling 2.87 ERA and 143:39 K:BB in 163 innings. He's scheduled for a home start against the Cardinals next week.

  • Dodgers' Tony Gonsolin: No-decision in return

    Gonsolin allowed one run on three hits and a pair of walks with three strikeouts across three innings during Thursday's loss to the Cardinals. He did not factor into the decision.

    Gonsolin, who was activated from the injured list ahead of Thursday's game after dealing with shoulder issues, was on a limited pitch count in his return. The 27-year-old tossed 55 pitches, including 34 for strikes. During his recent rehab start, Gonsolin allowed one run on three hits and a walk while striking out one batter over 2.1 innings. The right-hander will look to get further stretched out in his next outing, which tentatively lines up for a favorable matchup at home Tuesday against the Diamondbacks.

  • Cardinals' Jake Woodford: Pitches well in no-decision

    Woodford gave up one run on three hits and a pair of walks while striking out three across four innings during Thursday's win over the Dodgers. He did not factor into the decision.

    Woodford held his own against a volatile Dodgers lineup with his only blemish of the day coming from an RBI single by Trea Turner in the third. With his successful outing, the right-hander is expected to remain in the rotation for at least another turn, which tentatively lines up for next week against the Mets in New York. Across 22 games (four starts) this season, Woodford has compiled a 4.28 ERA and 1.39 WHIP.

  • Cardinals' Carlos Martinez: Plays catch

    Martinez (thumb) played catch on the field Thursday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

    Martinez is considered unlikely to return before the end of the season, though he's not yet been completely ruled out. The fact that he's throwing in some capacity is certainly a positive sign, but he's still several steps from getting back into game action and doesn't seem to have the time to complete those steps before the campaign ends.

  • Dodgers' Tony Gonsolin: Activated prior to start

    Gonsolin (shoulder) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Thursday's start against the Cardinals, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

    Gonsolin had been on the injured list since July 31 but will take the mound in Thursday's series finale in St. Louis. He recently made a rehab start and allowed a run on three hits and a walk while striking out one in 2.1 innings. The right-hander will likely be on a pitch count during Thursday's matchup, but he'll provide a boost to the Dodgers' rotation now that he's healthy.
