McGreevy allowed three runs (two earned) on six hits and two walks while striking out four over 6.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Giants on Monday.

McGreevy remains unbeaten over his last seven outings, though this was just his second quality start in that span. The right-hander is now at a 3.92 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 106:42 K:BB through 154 innings over 28 starts. The uneven performances lately make it tough to count on McGreevy to pitch well enough to earn wins down the stretch.

Webb allowed one run on three hits and two walks while striking out eight over six innings in a no-decision Monday versus the Cardinals.

Webb was tagged for 16 runs over 10.2 innings across his previous three starts. He was able to put forth a much better effort Monday, though he's now winless in four straight outings. On the year, Webb has a 4.10 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 127:40 K:BB across 155.2 innings over 26 starts. He is projected to make his next start at St. Louis next week, assuming the Giants operate with a six-man rotation to offset the injuries that have piled up late in the season.

Irvin (2-9) allowed three runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out three batters over 5.2 innings in a loss to San Diego on Monday.

Irvin had a rough beginning to his outing, giving up three runs over the first three innings. However, he clamped down from there and held the Padres scoreless for the remainder of his time in the game. Irvin got very close to a quality start, retiring the first two batters he faced in the sixth before walking Xander Bogaerts, who turned out to be the final batter he faced. The right-hander recorded just nine whiffs among his 102 pitches and notched just three punchouts, but he did manage to give Washington a little more length after tossing fewer than five frames in each of his previous two outings. Irvin is scheduled to next take the mound at home versus the Angels.

Pivetta (2-2) earned the win over Washington on Monday, allowing two hits and striking out two batters over five scoreless innings. He did not issue a walk.

Pivetta missed nearly five months of MLB action and logged just three minor-league rehab appearances after landing on the IL in mid-April due to a right flexor strain, so his workload was limited to 63 pitches in his return. Nonetheless, the veteran righty was able to go deep enough to notch a victory, as he allowed the Nationals to put only two runners on base. Pivetta ended the outing on a high note by retiring the final seven batters he faced, and about the only detail that wasn't positive from a fantasy perspective is that he notched only two punchouts (and just one whiff). The Padres are battling for a wild-card spot in the NL, so the team doesn't figure to hold Pivetta back too much, though it's likely he'll need a few more starts to ramp up to a full workload. He's next scheduled to take the mound this weekend in San Francisco.

Boyd (8-4) took the loss against Milwaukee on Monday, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out seven batters over seven-plus innings.

Boyd got through four scoreless frames before yielding a run in the fifth. The Cubs held a 2-1 lead going into the eighth, and manager Craig Counsell elected to keep Boyd on the mound. That move ended up backfiring, as the lefty hurler put the first two batters of the inning on base via a walk and a double. Boyd was subsequently pulled, but both runners came home to score following his departure, saddling him with the loss. Boyd has gone 0-3 over his past five starts, recording a 5.46 ERA over 29.2 innings during that span. He'll look to get back on the winning foot his next time out, which is lined up to be a home matchup against Pittsburgh.

Gasser allowed one run on three hits and two walks while striking out five batters over 4.2 innings in a no-decision against the Cubs on Monday.

Gasser held Chicago scoreless through four frames before serving up a solo homer to Pedro Ramirez with two outs in the fifth. He then hit a batter and issued a walk before being given the hook by manager Pat Murphy. Gasser was at only 83 pitches at that point, but the Cubs had a pair of right-handed batters coming up, which may have influenced the decision to yank the lefty hurler. It was the fourth time over Gasser's past six starts that he failed to complete five frames, and he's pitched to a mediocre 4.40 ERA across 28.2 innings during that span. Gasser is slated for a home matchup against the Reds his next time out.

The Dodgers recalled Sheehan from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday.

Sheehan will start Monday's game against the Reds, which will be his first start in the big leagues since early August. The right-hander has been on a roll of late at Oklahoma City, permitting just one earned run with a 16:4 K:BB over his last two starts covering 11.2 innings. It's possible Sheehan will receive additional starts this month if things go well. He's logged a disappointing 5.29 ERA in 20 starts with the big club in 2026.

The Dodgers optioned Miller to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday.

Miller made his first appearance with the Dodgers since May 2025 on Sunday, allowing one run in three innings versus the Nationals. His spot on the roster is being taken by Emmet Sheehan.

Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo confirmed Monday that Burnes (elbow/shoulder) will return from the 60-day injured list to start Tuesday's game versus the Royals in Kansas City, Alex D'Agostino of SI.com reports.

Burnes will be making his season debut for the Diamondbacks, after his return from June 2025 Tommy John surgery was delayed when he sustained a teres major strain in June. The right-hander threw 17 pitches over two scoreless innings in his lone rehab start and then appeared in a bridge game last week to get further stretched out. Per MLB.com, Burnes tossed three innings and 43 pitches in the bridge game and then threw seven more pitches out of the bullpen, so it's difficult to imagine him pushing far past 60 pitches duringTuesday's start.

Perez (7-11) took the loss against the Mets on Monday, allowing seven runs (five earned) on 10 hits and three walks in four innings. He struck out five.

Perez wasn't sharp during a rare Monday afternoon first-pitch time, surrendering a season-high 10 knocks in another short start. The right-hander is showing real signs of fatigue amid the campaign's final stages, working fewer than five innings while yielding at least five runs in three straight outings. Things won't get any easier with the Dodgers looming for his next scheduled appearance, with Perez now carrying a 3.94 ERA, 1.24 WHIP 150:62 K:BB over a career-high 139.1 innings.
