Ryan Feltner SP | COL
Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Roughed up in debut
Feltner (0-1) allowed six runs on five hits and two walks over 2.2 innings as he took the loss against Atlanta on Sunday.
Feltner's debut was one he won't want to remember after giving up three home runs before even managing to complete three innings. Ozzie Albies took him deep to right on the first pitch of the game. Feltner then found himself trying to get out of a bases-loaded, one-out jam in the third and was unable to do so. Austin Riley drove in a run on a sacrifice fly and then Adam Duvall and Travis d'Arnaud followed with back-to-back home runs to make it 6-0 and end Feltner's outing. He should continue to get some looks in the back end of the rotation with the Rockies currently down two starters due to inury.

Zach Davies SP | WAS
Cubs' Zach Davies: Roughed up for six runs
Davies allowed six runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out three batters over four innings Sunday against the Pirates. He did not factor into the decision.
Davies was punished by the long ball Sunday. He allowed a first-inning solo home run to Yoshi Tsutsugo and then a grand slam to Brian Reynolds in the third. Reynolds would chase Davies out of the game in the fifth after leading off with a single and eventually came around to score, charging the 28-year-old with his sixth run of the game. Davies has now failed to reach five innings in seven of his last 11 starts and sits at a 5.16 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 108:67 K:BB over 139.2 innings. He tentatively lines up for a meeting with the Giants his next time out.

Walker Buehler SP | SD
Dodgers' Walker Buehler: Hammered early by Giants
Buehler (13-3) took the loss in Sunday's 6-4 defeat at the hands of the Giants, allowing six runs on seven hits and one walk with one strikeout in three innings.
Buehler picked the wrong time to have his worst start of the season as first place was on the line in the NL West. The Cy Young contender permitted runs in all three innings in submitting only his second start with less than six innings pitched and lowest strikeout total all year. Look for Buehler to rebound next weekend against San Diego as his 2.31 ERA still leads MLB.

Corbin Burnes SP | ARI
Brewers' Corbin Burnes: Goes five innings in no-decision
Burnes allowed three runs on six hits and two walks over five innings in Sunday's win over St. Louis. He struck out seven and did not factor in the decision.
Burnes rolled through three shutout innings without much of a threat from the Cardinals to begin the game. All three runs scored against him came during the fourth frame, including a two-run double by Harrison Bader. While he didn't record his 10th win of the year, Burnes has now gone 16 straight starts without a loss. He owns a 2.40 ERA with a 122:23 K:BB during that span. Burnes is projected to take the mound in Cleveland next weekend.

Chris Paddack RP | TEX
Padres' Chris Paddack: Posts quality start
Paddack allowed three earned runs on six hits while striking out two across six innings in the win over the Astros on Sunday. He did not factor into the decision.
Paddack allowed a run in the first inning before firing five shutout innings. However, he allowed back-to-back home runs by Yuli Gurriel and Carlos Correa before being pulled in the seventh inning. The 25-year-old has a 2.97 ERA in 21.2 innings over his last four starts dating back to July 21. For the season, he has a 4.95 ERA and a 1.27 WHIP with 95 strikeouts in 103.2 innings.

Josiah Gray RP | WAS
Nationals' Josiah Gray: Another tough start Sunday
Gray allowed six runs on seven hits and a walk with two strikeouts in three innings versus the Mets on Sunday. He did not factor in the decision.
The 23-year-old has yielded a half-dozen runs in each of his last two starts, covering just seven innings in that span. The right-hander allowed the Mets to cobble together four runs in the first inning and then yielded solo home runs to Jonathan Villar and Javier Baez before he was removed from the game. Gray has struggled to a 5.65 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 48:17 K:BB through 43 innings between the Nationals and the Dodgers this year. He's in line for a favorable road start versus Pittsburgh during next weekend's three-game series.

Tony Gonsolin RP | KC
Dodgers' Tony Gonsolin: Nearing activation
Gonsolin (shoulder) felt good after Saturday's rehab start and could be activated soon, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Gonsolin likely won't pitch in the Dodgers' upcoming series against the Cardinals, but the right-hander has a chance to return after just one rehab appearance. The 27-year-old allowed one run on three hits and a walk while striking out one in 2.1 innings at Low-A Rancho Cucamonga on Saturday.

Taijuan Walker SP | LAA
Mets' Taijuan Walker: Struggles in no-decision
Walker allowed six runs on six hits and three walks with six strikeouts in 4.1 innings in a no-decision versus Washington on Sunday.
The Mets gave Walker a four-run lead before he ever got to the mound, but he allowed a solo home run to Lane Thomas and a two-run shot to Josh Bell in the bottom of the first. The right-hander then allowed three more runs before Jeurys Familia relieved him to finish the fifth inning. Walker owns a 4.15 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 129:49 K:BB through 138.2 innings this season, but he's gone 0-6 with four no-decisions in his last 10 starts. He's in line for a home start in the Subway Series versus the Yankees next weekend.

Kyle Freeland SP | COL
Rockies' Kyle Freeland: Cleared to start Monday
Freeland (hip) has been confirmed as the Rockies' starting pitcher for Monday's game against the Giants, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
The lefty's most recent outing Sept. 1 against the Rangers was cut short due to a left hip impingement, but after receiving an injection to address the injury, Freeland looks to be pain free heading into the upcoming week. He was able to throw a bullpen session over the weekend without any discomfort, so Freeland shouldn't face any limitations heading into what's shaping up to be a two-start week. Freeland tentatively lines up to make his second turn of the week Sept. 11 in Philadelphia.

Trevor Williams RP | TEX
Mets' Trevor Williams: Picks up another start
Williams is scheduled to start Monday's game against the Nationals in Washington.
Because the Mets played five games in four days to close out the weekend, Williams will be needed to make his third start for New York and his second in less than a week. While filling a swingman role in his first four outings for the Mets, Williams has impressed, covering 13 innings in total while submitting a 0.69 ERA and 0.92 WHIP. Unless the Mets expand their rotation to six men after Monday's contest, the team won't have a starting role open for Williams, so he should be headed back to the bullpen following his outing in Washington.
