Lance Lynn SP | STL
Cardinals' Lance Lynn: Earns win over Pirates
Lynn (7-4) allowed a run on four hits and two walks while striking out five over six innings to earn the win over the Pirates on Tuesday.
Lynn has looked good over two starts since returning from a knee injury. He's allowed two runs while striking out 12 over 11 innings since his return, and he was able to get the win after the Cardinals gave him some run support Tuesday. The veteran now has a 3.84 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 109:44 K:BB through 117.1 innings across 23 starts. He's projected for a road start at Colorado next week, which could be his last outing of the year if the Cardinals finish the campaign with a six-man rotation.

Tylor Megill SP | NYM
Mets' Tylor Megill: Twirls gem vs. Washington
Megill (4-5) earned the win Tuesday against the Nationals, allowing one unearned run on two hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out four.
The New York right-hander posted his second consecutive quality start and third overall with this 94-pitch performance. Megill allowed just one extra-base hit -- a double by Dylan Crews in the second -- working around an unearned run in third en route to his 21st career win. The hard-throwing 29-year-old averaged 96.3 mph on his fastball, up 0.7 mph from his normal, and has now pitched to a 2.76 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 28:9 K:BB across 29.1 innings in the second half. Megill looks to continue his impressive work against the division-leading Phillies in next start, scheduled for this weekend.

Mitchell Parker P | WAS
Nationals' Mitchell Parker: Surrenders five runs in loss
Parker (7-10) took the loss Tuesday against the Mets, allowing five runs on seven hits and two walks over 3.2 innings. He struck out one.
Parker labored through this 78-pitch outing that included allowing four runs on three hits and two walks in the third. The New York lineup appeared to have the rookie southpaw's number all evening, as Parker generated a paltry four whiffs and has allowed five runs to the Mets in both his starts against them. Overall, he's now pitched to a 4.44 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 128:41 K:BB across 146 innings this season. The 24-year-old Parker is currently slated to make his next start against the Royals at home next week.

Blake Snell SP | SF
Giants' Blake Snell: Dominant vs. Orioles
Snell (4-3) earned the win Tuesday over Baltimore, allowing just one hit and two walks over six scoreless innings. He struck out 12.
Snell was superb Tuesday, allowing a lone single in the second inning while racking up double-digit strikeouts for the fourth time this year. The 31-year-old Snell has held opponents to two runs or fewer in 12 of his last 13 starts, posting a stellar 1.33 ERA in that span (74.1 innings). His ERA is down to 3.31 across 98 innings this season with a 1.08 WHIP and 136:43 K:BB. Snell's currently in line for a road start this weekend against the Royals.

Brandon Williamson SP | CIN
Reds' Brandon Williamson: Diagnosed with elbow strain
Williamson left Tuesday's game against Atlanta with a left elbow strain, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Williamson suffered the injury after throwing a pitch in the second inning of Tuesday's contest and had to be taken out of the game immediately afterward. The Reds haven't specified the severity of his injury, but if the team elects to place the left-hander back on the injured list, his season would be put to an early end after just four starts.

Eury Perez SP | MIA
Marlins' Eury Perez: Begins throwing program
Perez (elbow) threw light toss on flat ground Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Tuesday marks the first time Perez has done any sort of throwing since he underwent Tommy John surgery in April. He obviously has a lot more work to do before he's ready to return to a major-league mound, but it's certainly encouraging to see him making progress in the right direction. The 21-year-old righty is expected to rejoin the Marlins' rotation midway through the 2025 campaign.

Brandon Williamson SP | CIN
Reds' Brandon Williamson: Exits with trainer
Williamson was removed from his start Tuesday against Atlanta with an apparent injury, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Williamson appeared to be grabbing at his left elbow after making a pitch in the second inning of Tuesday's contest. The specifics of his injury won't be known until the Reds are able to take a closer look at him, but the 26-year-old southpaw may be at risk of missing even more time after sitting out the first five months of the season due to a shoulder issue.

Cade Cavalli SP | WAS
Nationals' Cade Cavalli: Not returning this season
Nationals manager Dave Martinez said Tuesday that Cavalli (elbow) will continue to work through his throwing program but won't pitch in games before the end of the season, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.
The right-hander began the season on the injured list while completing his recovery from Tommy John Surgery in May 2023, but a "dead arm" phase over the summer derailed his rehab assignment. Cavalli will continue to build up his arm over the final weeks of the regular season, but he'll head into 2025 with plenty of uncertainty coming off consecutive lost seasons.

Tony Gonsolin SP | LAD
Dodgers' Tony Gonsolin: Another rehab outing on tap
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that Gonsolin (elbow) will make another rehab appearance with Triple-A Oklahoma City before potentially returning from the 60-day injured list, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
The right-hander has two rehab outings under his belt with Oklahoma City, and he allowed two runs on five hits and a walk over 2.2 innings during the most recent appearance Sunday. Los Angeles is in need of rotation help, but that doesn't necessarily mean Gonsolin will start once he completes his rehab program from last September's Tommy John surgery. There's also no guarantee the 30-year-old is included on the playoff roster.

Nick Lodolo SP | CIN
Reds' Nick Lodolo: Done for 2024
Reds manager David Bell said Tuesday that Lodolo (finger) won't return from the 15-day injured list before the end of the season, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
The left-hander will end up missing the final five-plus weeks of the season due to the sprained finger he sustained Aug. 22 against the Pirates. Lodolo should have plenty of time to get healthy before the start of spring training and closes out the 2024 season with a 4.76 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 122:37 K:BB over 115.1 innings (21 starts).
