Chad Patrick RP | MIL
Brewers' Chad Patrick: Set to start during doubleheader
The Brewers recalled Patrick from Triple-A Nashville on Monday.
Patrick is the Brewers' designated 27th man for Monday's doubleheader against the Cubs and will start the second game of the twin bill at Wrigley Field. The rookie right-hander was squeezed out of the Brewers rotation last month but has pitched well for the big club, posting a 3.52 ERA and 95:30 K:BB over 94.2 frames covering 18 starts and one relief outing.

Erick Fedde SP | CHW
Braves' Erick Fedde: Coughs up four runs
Fedde did not factor in the decision during Sunday's win over the Guardians. He allowed four runs on six hits and three walks over four innings while striking out five.
Fedde worked a perfect first inning before things started to go south. He loaded the bases in the second but escaped without giving up a run. The Guardians then plated a pair of runs in each of the third and fourth frames. Fedde has now made four starts with Atlanta and has given up at least three runs while failing to complete six innings in all four. That's resulted in a 7.11 ERA, driving his season ERA to 5.52 across 120.2 innings. Fedde is currently projected for a home matchup against the Mets next weekend.

Clay Holmes RP | NYM
Mets' Clay Holmes: Grabs win at Little League Classic
Holmes (10-6) allowed one run on five hits and a walk while striking out four over five innings to earn the win over the Mariners in Sunday's Little League Classic.
Holmes put forth a fine effort, throwing 58 of 88 pitches for strikes. He's had some trouble pitching deeper into games -- he hasn't completed six frames since his June 7 start in Colorado. The right-hander is 2-2 with 18 runs allowed (15 earned) over 27.2 innings over six starts since the All-Star break. Holmes has a 3.64 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 105:53 K:BB over 131 innings through 25 starts this season. He's tentatively scheduled for a road matchup in Atlanta in his next start.

Chris Sale SP | ATL
Braves' Chris Sale: Works four frames in rehab start
Sale (ribcage) struck out four and allowed one earned run on three hits and one walk over four innings in his rehab start Sunday with Triple-A Gwinnett.
Sale had another strong showing in the second outing of his rehab assignment, firing 39 of his 56 pitches for strikes while inducing six swings and misses. The southpaw will likely make one more start on the farm before returning from the 60-day injured list in the final week of August and being part of what's expected to be a six-man rotation for Atlanta heading into the final month of the season.

Braves' Didier Fuentes: Hits IL at Triple-A
Triple-A Gwinnett placed Fuentes on its 7-day injured list Aug. 10 due to an unspecified injury.
Fuentes hadn't pitched for Gwinnett since Aug. 2 before the Triple-A club deactivated him a week later. Following a rough four-start run with Atlanta before being optioned July 9, Fuentes had returned to form in the minors prior to being shut down, logging a 4.08 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 23:4 K:BB in 17.2 innings over four appearances for Gwinnett.

Brewers' Jose Quintana: Logs another quality start
Quintana did not factor into Sunday's decision against the Reds, allowing one run on five hits and one walk while striking out four across 6.1 innings.
Despite yielding just one run on a Jose Trevino sacrifice fly in the seventh inning, Quintana was on the hook for the loss until William Contreras blasted a two-run homer in the ninth. Quintana has logged three straight quality starts and is up to eight on the season. He has a 3.41 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 25:6 K:BB in 34.1 innings across his six starts since the All-Star break. Quintana is lined up to face the Giants at home next weekend.

Reds' Andrew Abbott: Tosses seven scoreless innings
Abbott did not factor into Sunday's decision against the Brewers, allowing four hits while striking out seven across seven scoreless frames. He did not issue a walk.
Abbott faced the minimum number of batters in five of seven frames, generating 12 whiffs and eight groundouts while tossing 92 pitches (61 strikes). It was the southpaw's fourth scoreless outing this season and lined him up for the win before William Contreras smacked a two-run homer in the ninth. Across 130 innings this season, Abbott has a 2.28 ERA and 1.08 WHIP, which ranks second and 14th best, respectively, among qualified starters in the majors. His next start is slated for next weekend on the road against the Diamondbacks, when he'll aim to collect his first win since July 9 against the Marlins.

Giants' Logan Webb: Cruises to 11th win
Webb (11-9) earned the win Sunday against the Rays, throwing seven scoreless innings while allowing three hits and no walks. He struck out seven.
The San Francisco ace was dominant in this 86-pitch performance, as he notched his 17th quality start of the season. This marks the fifth consecutive season Webb has reached the 11-win plateau in his seven-season career. Across 160.2 total innings, the 28-year-old has pitched to a 3.19 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 175:35 K:BB. Webb is currently scheduled to make his next appearance in the Giants' upcoming weekend road series against the league-leading Brewers.

Aaron Nola SP | PHI
Phillies' Aaron Nola: Rusty in return
Nola didn't factor into the decision Sunday against Washington, allowing six runs on seven hits and one walk with four strikeouts across 2.1 innings.
Nola made his long-awaited return from the injured list Sunday after missing three months with an ankle sprain and stress fracture in his right rib. The 32-year-old worked up to 84 pitches during his minor-league rehab assignment, but he lasted merely 53 pitches as the Nationals teed off on him in the third inning. Nola yielded six of his seven hits and his lone walk in the frame, all consecutively. The 32-year-old had been excellent during his rehab assignment, posting a 2.19 ERA and a 17:3 K:BB in 12.1 innings across three appearances. He's tentatively scheduled for a rematch with the Nationals next weekend.

Parker didn't factor into the decision Sunday against Philadelphia, allowing six runs (five earned) on four hits and three walks over 1.2 innings. He didn't record a strikeout.
Parker's rough start to August continued Sunday, yielding at least four runs for a fourth straight outing and failing to make it out of the second inning for the first time all year. The 25-year-old has surrendered at least one homer in all four appearances this month. During that stretch, Parker has a 12.38 ERA and a 13:10 K:BB over 16 innings. He's on track to face the Phillies once again next weekend.
