Burnes did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing five runs on five hits and no walks over 4.2 innings against the Marlins. He struck out four.

Burnes wasn't particularly effective, notably surrendering back-to-back homers in the fourth inning. It was a step back for the right-hander, as he twirled three shutout innings in his season debut last week against the Royals after completing his recovery from Tommy John surgery and a teres major strain. Burnes built up to 75 pitches (48 strikes) in his home debut Monday. The 31-year-old's next start is tentatively scheduled for Sunday against the Yankees.

Sugano (12-10) took the loss Monday, allowing six runs on eight hits and one walk over five innings against the Padres. He struck out two.

Sugano was tagged for all six runs in the first three frames, including two homers, resulting in his fifth loss over his past six outings. On the year, the right-hander owns a 5.49 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 86:34 K:BB in 142.2 innings (27 starts). Sugano's next start is lined up to come against the Mariners over the weekend.

Mize (6-9) earned the win Monday, allowing two runs on eight hits and two walks over five innings against the Rockies. He did not record a strikeout.

Mize permitted plenty of traffic on the bases but ultimately limited the damage enough at Coors Field to pick up the win. The right-hander has struggled since joining the Padres, posting a 5.97 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 22:12 K:BB in 37.2 innings (eight starts) with his new team. With an overall 3.69 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 107:31 K:BB across 124.1 innings (24 starts), Mize is tentatively scheduled to pitch Saturday against the Marlins.

Lodolo (3-5) took the loss Monday against the Dodgers, striking out four while allowing four runs on three hits and four walks in seven innings.

Lodolo gave the Reds length but was hit hard when contact was made, serving up a pair of home runs on the evening. It was the longest outing of the season for the southpaw, who has issued multiple free passes in six straight starts and nine of his last 10. He'll take a disappointing 5.12 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 79:42 K:BB over 96.2 innings into his next scheduled appearance against the division-rival Cubs.

Mathews (2-3) allowed one run on four hits and two walks while striking out eight over 6.2 innings to earn the win over the Giants on Monday.

Mathews has posted quality starts in each of his last two outings. He limited the damage to Jonah Cox's RBI single in the sixth inning of this contest, marking the fourth time in seven games in which Mathews has given up just one run. Through 37.1 innings, he's maintained a 3.62 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 36:16 K:BB. The left-hander is projected to make his next start at home versus the Nationals.

Skubal (10-7) earned the win Monday against the Reds, striking out nine while allowing three hits and one walk in seven scoreless innings.

Skubal was dialed in Monday, scattering three singles across seven dominant frames. The All-Star southpaw has either logged a quality start or pitched at least five innings while yielding fewer than three runs in six consecutive outings and 13 of his last 14. He's set to finish a two-start week this weekend against the lowly Giants, sporting a 2.70 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 173:25 K:BB over 146.2 innings.

Roupp (9-14) allowed two runs on five hits and three walks while striking out four over 4.1 innings to take the loss Monday against the Cardinals.

Roupp did fine until running into trouble in the fifth inning. He was pulled at 88 pitches (54 strikes), and Reiver Sanmartin allowed two inherited runners to score, which was enough to leave Roupp holding the loss. Over his last four outings, Roupp has allowed four runs across 20.1 innings, though he sports a lackluster 13:11 K:BB in that span. Overall, he's at a 4.01 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 143:75 K:BB across 155 innings through 29 starts. Roupp's next outing is projected to be a tough road matchup against the Dodgers over the weekend.

Peterson (8-8) allowed one run on three hits and three walks while striking out seven over six-plus innings to earn the win over Atlanta on Monday.

Peterson picked up his first quality start since Aug. 22 with this performance. He's struggled to provide length at times, covering 25 innings over his last five appearances while giving up 12 runs in that span. For the season, the veteran southpaw has a 5.11 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 124:62 K:BB through 137.1 innings over 30 games (21 starts) between the Cubs and Mets. He's lined up for a road start in Cincinnati this weekend.

Atlanta will recall Ritchie from Triple-A Gwinnett to start Wednesday's game against the Cubs, Jesus Cano of The Athletic reports.

Ritchie will take the rotation spot of AJ Smith-Shawver, who is now being utilized out of the bullpen. Manager Walt Weiss also said Monday that Reynaldo Lopez (shoulder) may be headed to the injured list, which could result in Ritchie picking up another start after Wednesday before the regular season draws to a close.

Jang (undisclosed) was activated from the 7-day injured list Sept. 6.

It's not clear at this time what forced Jang to the injured list for the last four-plus weeks, but he was cleared to return for one of his club's final games of the 2026 campaign. He was knocked around for two runs (one earned) on three hits and two walks while striking out two across one inning Sept. 6 against High-A Lake County.
