Imanaga (14-3) got the win Monday against the A's, allowing two runs on five hits and three walks while striking out 11 over six innings.

Imanaga recorded another quality start Monday and set a new career high for strikeouts in the process. It was Imanaga's 18th quality start of the season, which ties him with Chris Sale and Aaron Nola for third most in the National League. The 31-year-old rookie now has three starts this season of 10 or more strikeouts, and all three have come after the All-Star break. Imanaga has a 3.03 ERA and 1.03 WHIP through 166.1 innings this season. 

Fried (9-10) took the loss against the Dodgers on Monday, allowing three runs on two hits and three walks with seven strikeouts over six innings.

Fried didn't receive any run support from his offense but generally lacked command, throwing 57 strikes and generating only eight whiffs on 98 pitches. He has yielded three earned runs or fewer in seven of his past 10 outings but has just two wins to show for it. On the season, the southpaw owns a 3.49 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 151:54 K:BB across 159.2 innings and lines up for a favorable matchup with the Marlins this weekend.

Yamamoto did not factor into the decision in Monday's 9-0 win against Atlanta, allowing four hits and two walks with three strikeouts over four scoreless innings.

Yamamoto generated a solid 10 whiffs on 72 pitches but also threw just 42 strikes. Despite the shaky control, the 26-year-old was able to increase his workload from 59 pitches Tuesday and has not allowed an earned run over eight innings in his two outings since returning from the injured list. On the season, he owns a 2.63 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 95:19 K:BB across 82 innings and lines up for a favorable home matchup with the Rockies this weekend.

Weathers (finger) is expected to be activated from the 60-day injured list to start Wednesday's game against the Dodgers, Isaac Azout of FishOnFirst.com reports.

In his third rehab appearances this past Friday, Weathers worked five scoreless innings for Triple-A Jacksonville, giving up two hits and walking three while striking out eight batters in the outing. After waiting a few days to see how he bounced back, the Marlins have determined that Weathers is ready to return from the IL. He'll face a tough challenge in his first big-league action since June 7, though he kept his team in the game in a matchup with the Dodgers back on May 8, giving up three runs over six innings.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Monday that Yamamoto will not pitch on four days' rest for the rest of the regular season and postseason, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports.

Four days is considered "normal" rest, but Yamamoto has had at least five days off in between all 15 of his starts this season, a schedule which mimics what he was used to when he pitched in Japan. Even amidst their numerous rotation injuries, the Dodgers are not willing to alter the plan for the rookie right-hander down the stretch. Assuming Yamamoto sticks to a five-day rest schedule, he'll still line up for two starts this week. After he takes the hill Monday in Atlanta, Yamamoto would be on track to make his next start Sunday versus the Rockies at Dodger Stadium.

Walker will draw the start for the Phillies' series opener against the Mets on Thursday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Walker was relegated to the bullpen following his last start against the Astros on Aug. 28, when he allowed six runs on 13 hits and one walk over six innings. He allowed five runs (four earned) across his first two relief outings, but after Walker tossed three scoreless innings against the Mets on Saturday, manager Rob Thompson has decided to give the 32-year-old right-hander another look as the club's No. 5 starter. Overall, Walker holds a 6.29 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 55:31 K:BB across 78.2 innings this season.

Williams (elbow) is on track to return from the 60-day injured list this weekend versus the Cubs, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Williams allowed two runs over 7.1 innings in two rehab starts with Double-A Harrisburg, throwing 73 pitches in his most recent outing Sunday. He should be lined up to start Friday in Chicago, although the exact date for his return hasn't been revealed yet. Williams has been sidelined since late May with a right flexor strain. He had collected a 2.22 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 47:16 K:BB through 56.2 innings before getting injured.

The Rockies activated Senzatela (elbow) from the 60-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Monday versus the Diamondbacks at Coors Field.

Senzatela has completed the long road back from Tommy John surgery, which he underwent last July. The veteran right-hander maxed out at four innings and 68 pitches over his five rehab starts prior to being activated, and the Rockies are likely to keep a close eye on his workload in the final two weeks of the season.

Giants manager Bob Melvin said Wednesday that Harrison (shoulder) is unlikely to be activated from the 15-day injured list before the season ends Sept. 29, MLB.com reports.

Though the left shoulder inflammation that sent Harrison to the IL on Sept. 6 has been deemed mild following an MRI, the young southpaw won't be asked to ramp back up with little time left in the season. Harrison had already logged a career-high 124.1 innings prior to being deactivated, which is likely a factor in the organization's decision to shut him down. Over his 24 starts this season, Harrison went 7-7 with a 4.56 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 118:42 K:BB.

Ray (hamstring) threw another bullpen session Saturday and remains hopeful to return from the 15-day injured list to make one start before the end of the season, MLB.com reports.

Ray faced live hitters in batting practice this past Wednesday, but the session was cut short after 42 pitches when he began experiencing fatigue. The southpaw appears to have avoided a major setback, however, given that he was back on the mound just a few days later. Ray will likely still need to face live hitters on at least one more occasion before the Giants feel comfortable bringing him back from the IL, and he could be on a limited pitch count if he reaches his goal of making one more start for the big club. Landen Roupp should make at least one more turn through the rotation as the Giants' fifth starter until Ray is ready for activation.
