Logan Webb SP | SF
Giants' Logan Webb: Six strong innings in win
Webb (13-10) got the win over the Diamondbacks on Tuesday after throwing six shutout innings while allowing four hits and a walk. He struck out three.
Webb was staked a seven-run lead by the third inning and that lead grew to 10 by the fifth. Still, he never let up and tossed his seventh outing of at least six scoreless innings this season. Tuesday was likely Webb's final start of the season. He'll finish as one of a handful of pitchers to surpass 200 innings this season and he currently sits 10th in the National League with a 3.47 ERA. Overall, Webb owns a 3.47 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 172:50 K:BB in 204.2 innings.

Landon Knack SP | LAD
Dodgers' Landon Knack: Ineffective in loss
Knack (3-5) took the loss Tuesday against Padres, allowing four runs on five hits and a walk while striking out four in four innings.
Knack was hit pretty hard in this one, allowing a second-inning homer to Jake Cronenworth and then a pair of doubles and a single in the fourth. Knack has allowed four home runs and owns a 5.82 ERA across four starts in September and is set for an unappealing matchup against the Rockies at Coors Field over the weekend.

Michael King RP | SD
Padres' Michael King: Picks up 13th win
King (13-9) got the win over the Dodgers on Tuesday, allowing one run (zero earned) on three hits and two walks while striking out three over five innings.
The Dodgers made King work hard to get through five innings and he was done after 95 pitches. King is on a miraculous run of allowing three runs or fewer in each of his last 14 starts and now sits at a 2.95 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 201:63 K:BB in 173.2 innings. He's tentatively lined up to make a start this weekend against the Diamondbacks but it's also possible the Padres skip him in order to save him up for the postseason.

Brandon Williamson SP | CIN
Reds' Brandon Williamson: Shifts to 60-day injured list
The Reds transferred Williamson (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.
The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Ian Gibaut, who was activated from the 60-day IL. Williamson is set to undergo Tommy John surgery, which is likely to sideline him until 2026.

Justin Steele SP | CHC
Cubs' Justin Steele: Goes four innings against Phillies
Steele didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 10-4 win over the Phillies, allowing two runs on four hits over four innings. He struck out three without issuing a walk.
Steele only threw 62 pitches Tuesday as he continues to work his way back from a three-week absence due to elbow tendinitis. The left-hander will likely wrap up an injury-hampered campaign with a 3.07 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 135:37 K:BB across 134.2 innings.

Ryne Nelson SP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Ryne Nelson: Throws side session
Nelson (shoulder) threw 28 pitches in a bullpen session Tuesday, MLB.com reports.
Nelson has now completed two side sessions since landing on the injured list, after the right-hander previously threw a 16-pitch session Saturday. Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said the team is undecided about whether Nelson could return to the starting rotation or be used as a multi-inning reliever once he makes his way back from the IL. With four games left in the regular season, the bullpen is probably a more realistic landing spot for Nelson if he gets activated.

Michael McGreevy P | STL
Cardinals' Michael McGreevy: No-decision at Colorado
McGreevy allowed three runs on four hits and a walk while striking out five over five innings in a no-decision versus the Rockies on Tuesday.
McGreevy left the game down 3-2, but the Cardinals were able to rally ahead to get him off the hook. The rookie has pitched to a 2.40 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 12:2 K:BB over his first 15 innings in the majors, and this was the first time in three appearances (two starts) he didn't come away with a win. McGreevy is tentatively projected to start the Cardinals' season finale in San Francisco on Sunday.

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 RP | 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.
