Suarez will be the 29th man for Tuesday's doubleheader against the Nationals, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

The Phillies have yet to announce their starter for the nightcap, so the opportunity could well go to Suarez if he isn't needed in relief in the afternoon game. He hasn't thrown more than two innings in any of his appearances thus far this season, however, so if he does pitch first in the evening game, he'll likely be more of an opener than a true starter. He's allowed nine runs on 10 hits in four innings of relief this season, striking out one while walking four.

Rogers (1-2) took the loss Monday, giving up five runs on eight hits and two walks over four innings as the Marlins fell 5-4 to Atlanta. He struck out six.

Miami scored three runs in the top of the first inning, but Rogers immediately gave the lead back with interest, surrendering a four-spot in the bottom of the frame. The rookie southpaw will carry a 6.84 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 35:12 K:BB through 25 innings into his final start of the season Saturday, on the road against the Yankees.

Brubaker (1-3) took the loss Monday as the Pirates were downed 5-0 by the Cubs, allowing two runs on four hits and a walk over 6.2 innings. He struck out nine.

The 26-year-old rookie delivered his first career quality start on 98 pitches (63 strikes), but a lack of run support from the Bucs wasted Brubaker's efforts. He's currently not scheduled for another outing this season, ending his first tour of the majors with a 4.46 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 45:15 K:BB through 42.1 innings. Brubaker has likely earned himself a shot at a more permanent rotation spot heading into 2021.

Cueto (2-2) gave up seven runs on eight hits and three walks over 4.1 innings in a loss to the Rockies on Monday. He struck out four.

Cueto also hit a batter, and the 12 baserunners he allowed were too much for him to overcome when he didn't have his best stuff. He threw 59 of his 97 pitches for strikes. The right-hander has given up at least six runs in three of his last five starts to end the year in poor form. He now has a 5.53 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 52:25 K:BB across 57 innings and 11 starts this year. Cueto lines up for his last start of the regular season Saturday versus the Padres.

Marquez (3-6) allowed one run on five hits and a walk while striking out three over six innings in a win over the Giants on Monday.

The only run against Marquez came in the fifth inning on a Donovan Solano single. Other than that, the right-hander was able to produce his fourth straight quality start. Marquez has a 4.10 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 66:24 K:BB in 74.2 innings this year. He's expected to make his last start of the regular season Saturday in Arizona.

Woodruff (2-5) took the loss Monday against the Reds, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks across 5.2 innings. He fanned nine.

Woodruff was solid once again, but took a tough-luck loss in his second consecutive outing. He was able to get the first two outs of the sixth after logging five scoreless frames, but a two-run shot by Eugenio Suarez bounced him from the game and left him on the hook for the loss. Despite falling to 2-5, Woodruff has allowed just five runs while fanning 26 across his last 19.2 innings.

Castillo (4-5) picked up the win Monday against the Brewers, allowing one run on four hits and three walks across 6.2 innings. He struck out nine.

Castillo was sharp once again Monday, with his lone hiccup being a solo shot by Jedd Gyorko in the fifth. The right-hander has won each of his last four starts, punching out 33 while allowing just four runs across 28.2 frames. After starting the campaign 0-5, Castillo will have a chance to even his record when he takes the ball Saturday in Minnesota.

Wainwright (5-2) allowed three runs on six hits and two walks over 5.2 innings Monday, striking out seven and taking the loss against Kansas City.

Wainwright started out sharp, cruising through four shutout innings to start the evening. He yielded a run in the fifth before coughing up three hits, two walks, and two runs in the sixth before he was yanked. The 39-year-old righty is sporting a 3.05 ERA and 51:14 K:BB. Wainwright will make his final regular-season start this weekend at home against Milwaukee.

Ynoa left Monday's game against the Marlins with a crack in the nail of his right middle finger, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Ynoa was pulled from the contest in the third inning, however, the injury isn't expected to be much of an issue moving forward, according to O'Brien. The right-hander allowed three runs on five hits and a walk while striking out one prior to his departure.

Wheeler (4-1) took the loss Monday against the Nationals after giving up three runs (two earned) on five hits and three walks while striking out seven across 5.2 innings.

Wheeler found trouble early in this one, allowing two runs in the first inning followed by one in the sixth. He failed to receive much run support, resulting in the right-hander's first loss of the 2020 campaign. Wheeler owns a 2.67 ERA and 1.13 WHIP with a 45:12 K:BB across 64 innings.
