Lowder (1-2) took the loss Sunday, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk across 5.1 innings against the Twins. He struck out five.

Lowder entered the sixth with a one-run lead but was pulled after having allowed two batters to reach base with one out in the inning. Each of those baserunners later came around to score, saddling Lowder with two additional earned runs and handing him a tough-luck defeat. The 22-year-old rookie has been highly effective across four starts since earning the call from Triple-A, having allowed just one earned run prior to the three runs allowed Sunday. An encouraging trend is that he's also kept the walks in check, having allowed just one over his last two starts after allowing eight over his first two appearances. He's currently set up to make his next start in a home matchup against the Pirates.

Manager Dave Roberts said Saturday that Kershaw (toe) is unlikely to come off the 15-day injured list to make a start before the regular season ends, though a return for the playoffs remains possible, MLB.com reports.

Since being placed on the IL on Aug. 31 due to a bone spur in his big toe, Kershaw has yet to resume throwing off a full mound. With just two weeks remaining in the regular season, he doesn't look as though he'll have enough time to ramp up to a starter's workload before the end of September. A return during the wild-card round of the playoffs may be ambitious as well, but Kershaw could make it back for the NLDS, should the Dodgers advance that far in the postseason and if he's able to ratchet up the intensity of his throwing program in the coming weeks without any setbacks. Fantasy managers in redraft leagues can feel comfortable moving on from Kershaw at this point in favor of a healthy pitcher.

The Diamondbacks recalled Walston from Triple-A Reno on Sunday.

The left-hander was activated from the injured list in mid-August after missing two months due to an elbow issue, but he was immediately sent to Triple-A. Walston has started in two of his three appearances with Arizona this season, but he's likely to work in a long-relief role this time around.

Quantrill (tricep) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list to start Sunday against the Cubs.

The right-hander has been sidelined since late August due to a tricep injury, but he's ready to rejoin Colorado's rotation after a brief stay on the injured list. Quantrill has a 6.06 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 25:18 K:BB in 35.2 innings across seven starts since the All-Star break.

Black (0-4) took the loss against the Padres on Saturday, allowing two runs (one earned) on six hits and one walk over four innings while striking out two.

The Padres got to Black early, tagging the right-hander for one run in the opening frame following a double from Manny Machado, though the run was unearned on account of a fielding error by Heliot Ramos. The 24-year-old would then get through the next two innings unscathed before surrendering a solo homer to Xander Bogaerts in the fourth. It marked the sixth time in seven outings this season that Black was unable to get through five innings, though it was also the second time over that span that he allowed only one earned run. Additionally, he's given up at least one home run in all seven of his outings and is still looking for his first win on the campaign.

Musgrove (6-5) earned the win over the Giants on Saturday, allowing three hits over six scoreless innings while striking out eight.

Musgrove hit Mark Canha with a pitch to open the bottom of the first before then limiting the Giants to just three singles over his six innings of work. The right-hander induced 12 whiffs on the night en route to posting at least eight strikeouts for the third time in his last five outings. Musgrove has also hurled at least six shutout frames three times over that stretch while going 3-1. He now carries a 3.31 ERA over three starts in September to go along with a dominant 23:3 K:BB.

Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo suggested Saturday that Montgomery is expected to re-enter the rotation as a replacement for Ryne Nelson (shoulder), who was placed on the 15-day injured list, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports. "We feel very strongly that could be our best consideration, yes," Lovullo said, when asked if Montgomery would be added to the rotation. "We haven't yet announced it."

The Diamondbacks will need a fill-in starter for Nelson for at least two turns through the rotation. Montgomery's most recent outing came Wednesday, when he recorded a three-inning save. Since being moved to the bullpen in late August, the left-hander made four relief appearances, totaling 13 innings. Nelson had been scheduled to start Monday or Tuesday, and Montgomery should be a candidate to take the hill one of those days. It's unclear if Montgomery is stretched out enough to handle a typical starter's workload, however, so the Diamondbacks could end up deploying a long reliever such as Yilber Diaz behind him.

Pfaadt (9-9) took the loss Saturday versus the Brewers, allowing eight runs on seven hits and three walks while failing to record a strikeout over 1.2 innings.

Pfaadt was on the hook for a seven-run second inning that was capped off by Willy Adames' grand slam. This was the fifth time in six starts that Pfaadt has given up at least four runs, though this was by far the shortest outing of the season for the 25-year-old. His ERA ballooned from 4.42 to 4.81, and he's added a 1.27 WHIP and 160:39 K:BB through 166.2 innings over 29 starts. He's nearly at his career high for innings, which is 167 across all levels in 2022, and it appears he's wearing down a bit toward the end of the campaign. He's tentatively projected to make his next start in a rematch at Milwaukee.

Myers (8-5) allowed four runs on nine hits and struck out three without walking a batter over six-plus innings to earn the win Saturday over the Diamondbacks.

The Brewers spotted Myers with a 13-run lead before he faltered in the sixth and seventh innings. He hasn't exactly been stellar in recent weeks with just one quality start of his last six outings, though he has a 31:9 K:BB over 32.1 innings in that span. Myers is now at a 3.07 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 115:33 K:BB through 126 innings over 24 appearances (23 starts) this year. The rookie right-hander is projected to make his next start at home in a rematch with the Diamondbacks.

Taillon allowed two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out six over six-plus innings in a no-decision versus the Rockies on Saturday.

Taillon kept the hosts off the board through five frames, but gave up a run on a sacrifice fly in the sixth before Pete Crow-Armstrong tagged him for a solo shot in the seventh. This was Taillon's third straight quality start to begin September -- he's allowed just three runs over 19 innings this month. The right-hander is now at a 3.54 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 119:29 K:BB through 152.1 innings over 26 starts this season. His next outing is projected to be at home versus the Nationals.
