Urias will start Tuesday's game against the Rockies, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Urias will toss around 45 pitches, so he's unlikely to work more than two or three innings. He was reinstated from the restricted list Monday and hasn't taken the mound since Aug. 16 against the Braves, when he worked three scoreless frames and struck out one.

Hendricks gave up one run on three hits and one walk while striking out seven through six innings in a no-decision against the Mariners on Monday.

Hendricks was incredibly efficient, throwing just 81 pitches and striking out seven through his six innings of work. Hendricks has been excellent at home, posting a 1.77 ERA. The 29-year-old has a 3.39 ERA and 132 strikeouts through 26 starts this season. Hendricks is scheduled to make his next start Sunday at Miller Park.

Wacha will start Wednesday against the Giants, Jim Hayes of FOX Sports Midwest reports.

Wacha will be pitching on short rest -- his last start came Saturday against the Reds -- so he likely won't be asked to pitch too deep into the game. The right-hander has been solid across four starts since rejoining the rotation in mid-August, posting a 3.05 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 22:7 K:BB in 20.2 innings.

Wood will no longer start Tuesday against the Phillies due to a back injury, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Wood missed the first four months of the season with back issues, which have apparently returned. The southpaw has struggled to a 5.80 ERA and 1.40 WHIP across seven starts since returning from the IL in July, though he fired a quality outing (three runs across six innings) while striking out a season-high eight batters his last time out. It's unclear how long this latest back injury will keep Wood out. Lucas Sims is starting in his place Tuesday.

Martinez struck out two with no walks through 1.1 scoreless and hitless innings to record his 17th save in a 3-1 win over the Giants on Monday.

The Cardinals turned to Martinez with a runner on in the eighth inning, and he quickly delivered a strikeout to get out of the frame and shut down the Giants in the ninth inning to nail down the save. The 27-year-old has a 3.23 ERA with a 3.07 FIP in 39 innings this season.

Wainwright (10-9) gave up four hits and no walks while striking out one through seven scoreless innings to earn the win over the Giants on Monday.

Wainwright breezed through seven innings on 96 pitches to earn the win. Wainwright continues to thrive at home, posting a 2.67 ERA in 70.2 innings coming into this game. The 38-year-old has a 4.30 ERA and 131 strikeouts through 26 starts overall this season. Wainwright is scheduled to make his next start Saturday at PNC Park.

Syndergaard (10-7) picked up the win in Monday's 7-3 victory over the Nationals, giving up three hits over seven scoreless innings while striking out 10.

Tyler Bashlor spoiled the potential combined shutout in the ninth inning, but that took nothing away from Thor's dominant afternoon. It's the third time this year the right-hander has whiffed double-digit batters, and Syndergaard will take a 3.97 ERA and 171:43 K:BB through 170 innings into his next start Sunday, at home against the Phillies.

Woodruff (oblique) threw a 20-pitch bullpen session Monday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Woodruff ramped up the intensity Monday after taking it easy in his previous bullpen session Friday, which was his first since landing on the injured list with a left oblique strain. The right-hander incorporated his entire arsenal and reported no issues afterwards. He's hoping to rejoin the Brewers sometime during the second-half of September.

Urias was reinstated from the restricted list Monday.

Urias is back after serving a 20-game ban for violating Major League Baseball's Joint Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Policy. He appears to be back as a reliever for now, but he could receive some starts before the end of the season and could also fill that role in the playoffs.

Mikolas allowed three runs on four hits over six innings in a no-decision against the Reds in the first game of Sunday's doubleheader. He struck out five and did not issue a walk.

The only real blemish was a two-run shot off the bat of Eugenio Suarez in the third inning. That continued a year-long trend; Mikolas has seen his opponents' hard-hit rate jump significantly and in turn his home-run rate is up from 0.72 HR/9 to 1.29. He still has great numbers at home (2.91 ERA), but a 6.11 ERA away from Busch Stadium. Mikolas is on the road in Pittsburgh for his next start before a trip to Colorado the week of Sept. 9.
