Glasnow (arm) left Sunday's game with an apparent arm injury and will be checked out Monday in Pittsburgh, Cory Giger of the Altoona Mirror reports.

Glasnow completed three innings, allowing two runs on two hits and three walks while striking out five. The righty last appeared in a game July 23 before leaving with shoulder discomfort. He makes for a great prospect in keeper leagues, but this potential setback could negatively impact his status for the rest of 2016.

Cueto allowed three runs with four strikeouts and just one walk across 6.2 innings Sunday versus the Orioles. He did not factor into the decision.

Cueto pitched exceptionally well into the sixth inning, but he began to run out of gas and was pulled with two outs after allowing a pair of runs to score. Cueto was still in a great position to earn his 14th win of the season, but a disastrous performance by the bullpen cost Cueto and the Giants a victory. The veteran still owns a sharp 2.98 ERA on the season and will have the opportunity to get back in the win column Friday versus the Mets.

Greinke (11-4) allowed nine runs on 10 hits while striking out three over 1.2 innings to take the loss Sunday against the Red Sox.

Greinke allowed at least seven earned runs in an outing for the third time this year to raise his ERA to 4.31, which is the highest it's been since May. He's also carrying a 1.22 WHIP, which is his highest mark since 2010. However, after posting a 1.63 ERA during June, he should be a valuable commodity in fantasy drafts next year, when he starts his second year with the Diamondbacks. He'll look to get back on track in his next start, which is Friday against the Padres.

Fried (hand) was activated from the 7-day DL and will start Sunday for Low-A Rome.

Fried was placed on the 7-day DL in late July with a blister on his throwing hand, but after a few weeks off, it looks like he's fully healed. The left-hander, who missed all of last season while recovering from Tommy John surgery, has a 3.50 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 84:39 K:BB ratio across 82.1 innings this season.

Hill (blister) pitched a bullpen session Sunday, essentially ruling out a rehab start Monday for Triple-A Oklahoma City, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com report

Hill's progress has been slow, with his pushed back rehab start being the latest of many hangups (assuming he doesn't make it). The southpaw was considered a candidate to rejoin the rotation next weekend but that possibility continues to shrink.

Urena is expected to be recalled from Triple-A New Orleans to start Tuesday's game against the Reds, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

The Marlins moved Adam Conley (finger) to the DL on Tuesday and will need to find a replacement in the rotation, and for the time being, it looks as though Urena might be the top option lingering in the minors. Assuming he takes the hill Tuesday, Urena would get a cushy landing spot against the last-place Reds, but his lack of success at the big-league level makes him an untrustworthy fantasy option. He's accrued a 6.69 ERA and 1.57 WHIP in 19 appearances (three starts) for the Marlins this season, and was blasted for eight runs in 4.1 innings in his last start with the big club back on July 29.

Kershaw (back) played catch Sunday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Kershaw's progress is very promising, as he's been able to play catch every day this past week, creating optimism that he'll be back before the season ends. However, the team will continue to be very cautious with their ace, for they don't plan to have him throw off a mound within the next seven days.

Manager Chip Hale announced Sunday that Corbin will move to the Diamondbacks' bullpen.

In his last three starts, Corbin has surrendered a total of 11 earned runs, but his defense has made it look even worse, adding seven more unearned runs to that line. In any case, the southpaw and his 5.58 ERA now appear to be slated for long relief, though the team has yet to announce a replacement option in the rotation.

Cole (7-8) gave up six runs (five earned) on 12 hits over 4.1 innings in Saturday's 8-4 loss to the Dodgers.

While he didn't surrender any homers, Cole gave up five two-baggers and the most hits he has allowed in a start all season. It was also the 25-year-old's shortest outing since July 16 against the Nationals, and he equaled the most runs and earned runs he'd surrendered in a 2016 appearance. Cole has now dropped four of his last six decisions and will try to reverse recent course when he takes on the Marlins next Friday.

Hendricks didn't factor into the decision Saturday versus the Cardinals despite equaling a season high with 12 strikeouts and giving up just two earned runs on five hits over seven innings.

The 26-year-old righty was masterful overall, notching a whopping 22 swinging strikes and not surrendering a walk for the second straight start. He stumbled twice overall, surrendering solo homers to Brandon Moss and Jedd Gyorko in the sixth and seventh innings respectively. Hendricks now has three straight quality starts and has given up just three earned runs in the 23.1 innings over that span. He'll look to get back in the win column when he takes on the Rockies in Coors Field next Friday.
