Mahle did not factor into Friday's decision against the Yankees, allowing three hits and two walks while striking out nine across six scoreless innings.

Mahle was acquired by Atlanta from San Francisco on Sunday, and the 31-year-old right-hander was given the nod to start in Friday's series opener. He looked good with his new team, matching a season high in strikeouts while recording his fourth quality start in 19 games this season. Mahle has a 4.83 ERA and 1.36 WHIP over 100.2 innings this year, and his next start is lined up for next week at home against the Mets.

Gausman (6-10) earned the win Friday, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk over seven innings in a 6-4 victory over the Royals. He struck out four.

The veteran right-hander struck out exactly four batters for a second straight outing but generated 15 swinging strikes on 96 pitches as he secured the victory in his Cubs debut. It's just the second time all season that Gausman has completed seven frames after doing so 10 times over 32 regular-season starts for Toronto last year. After posting a 9.3 K/9 over 20 starts during the first half of the season, he's recorded just 15 strikeouts in 22 innings (four games) since the All-Star break and has a 4.09 ERA and 1.46 WHIP in that span.

Kelly was removed from Friday's game against the Dodgers due to a right leg cramp.

Kelly made it through 5.2 innings Friday while allowing just one run before calling for a trainer to come out to the mound. The Diamondbacks may keep an eye on Kelly's leg over the next few days to be careful, but his cramp likely won't keep him from making his next scheduled start.

Feltner (4-6) picked up the loss after allowing three runs on four hits and three walks while striking out two over 5.1 innings in a 3-2 loss to the Cardinals on Friday.

Feltner recorded his fourth loss in his last five starts. The 29-year-old allowed two runs in the second inning courtesy of two sacrifice flies from Nathan Church and Bryan Torres, and then gave up a solo home run to Ivan Herrera the next inning. On the year, Feltner owns a 5.71 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 59:33 K:BB over 82 innings. The right-hander is slated to start his next game Wednesday against Arizona.

Leahy (8-4) earned the win after allowing two runs on eight hits while striking out eight over five innings during a 3-2 win over the Rockies on Friday. He did not issue a walk.

Leahy recorded his eighth consecutive start allowing two earned runs or fewer dating back to June 23. Leahy allowed two runs on two RBI groundouts from Troy Johnston. Over his last seven starts, the 29-year-old owns a 3-0 record, 1.75 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 37:7 K:BB over 36 innings. The right-hander is tentatively scheduled to make his next start Wednesday against the Phillies.

Snell (elbow) will return from the 60-day injured list to start Tuesday's game against the Royals in Los Angeles, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Snell will receive the green light to return to the Dodgers rotation after making four rehab starts in the minors, during which he posted a 3.09 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 19:5 K:BB across 11.2 innings. Although his final outing at Triple-A lasted just 3.2 frames, the 33-year-old southpaw managed to build up to 73 pitches, so the Dodgers may not place a significant restriction on his workload as he makes what will be just his second start in the majors this season.

The Giants selected Harris' contract from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday.

Harris has posted a 3.12 ERA and 1.37 WHIP alongside a 52:18 K:BB over 40.1 innings while spending the entire season at Triple-A. The 27-year-old's strong performance in a hitter-friendly league will now buy him a look with the big club, replacing Tristan Beck in the Giants' bullpen. Harris will be making his MLB debut whenever he gets into a game.

Meyer (neck) will be re-evaluated next week, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Meyer has been shut down from throwing since he landed on the injured list July 20 with a neck strain, but he may be cleared to resume activity if he shows enough progress during his upcoming evaluation. Once cleared to throw, he'll likely spend a couple of weeks ramping up and could require a rehab outing in the minors before returning to the Marlins' rotation.

The Diamondbacks optioned Drake to Triple-A Reno on Friday.

After giving up three runs in just 3.2 innings during Thursday's loss, bringing his ERA up to 5.40 through 16.2 innings, Drake will now lose his place in Arizona's rotation. Kade Strowd will come up from Reno in a corresponding move to add to the D-backs' bullpen depth while the team sorts out its rotation plans.

Snelling (elbow) is expected to begin a throwing program in September, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Snelling is out for the season after undergoing internal brace surgery in May to repair a UCL tear in his left elbow. The fact that Miami has already planned the beginning of his throwing program is a good sign that his recovery is going well, but the left-hander may still have to miss the first few months of the 2027 campaign before returning to the rotation.
