Atlanta placed Lopez on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with right shoulder inflammation.

After exiting his start Tuesday against the Nationals with what had been described as shoulder tightness, Lopez described himself as day-to-day. Initial tests came back clean, per Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The right-hander had been scheduled to undergo an MRI on Wednesday, and while Atlanta hasn't disclosed the results of his imaging, Lopez will be shelved until at least the final week of the regular season while he waits for the swelling in his shoulder to subside. While the injury makes Lopez a drop candidate in most redraft formats, Atlanta will hope that he makes a swift enough recovery to put himself in consideration for a spot on the postseason pitching staff, should the club clinch a playoff spot.

Peterson (9-2) took the loss Tuesday, giving up five runs (four earned) on eight hits and two walks over 4.1 innings as the Mets were downed 6-2 by the Blue Jays. He struck out two.

The southpaw was saddled with his first loss since July 28 as he struggled with his command. While Peterson tossed a respectable 51 of 76 pitches for strikes, he uncorked two wild pitches and plunked a batter, and he gave up some hard contact when he was in the strike zone. He saw his quality start streak end at five, and since the beginning of August he still sports a 2.39 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 40:16 K:BB through 49 innings, Peterson will look to bounce back in his next outing, which lines up to come at home early next week against the Nationals.

Gore (8-12) took the loss Tuesday, coughing up seven runs (two earned) on six hits and three walks over 3.2 innings as the Nationals were routed 12-0 by Atlanta. He struck out three.

Some shaky defense by the Nats, including an error by Jose Tena and a catcher's interference call on Keibert Ruiz, helped soften the blow to Gore's ERA, but it was still a hard fall back to Earth for the southpaw after he'd delivered three straight quality starts. Since the beginning of August, Gore has a 1.57 WHIP and 36:15 K:BB through 36.1 innings while serving up five homers, but only a 3.72 ERA thanks to 11 total unearned runs. He lines up to pitch at home this weekend against the Marlins.

Lopez will undergo further testing on his right shoulder Wednesday after an initial exam Tuesday came back favorably, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Lopez lasted just one inning in Tuesday's start against the Nationals before exiting with right shoulder tightness. It's the second arm-related injury he's had in the second half, as Lopez previously missed three weeks of action with right forearm inflammation. On a possibly-related note, Lopez's 132.2 innings this season between the majors and one minor-league rehab start are nearly 70 more than he threw in either of the previous two campaigns. He'll likely miss at least one start, at minimum, but more will be known once the exam results are in.

Hicks (shoulder) allowed two unearned runs over two innings in his first rehab appearance with Single-A San Jose on Tuesday.

Hicks struck out a pair and threw 27 pitches in his first appearance since landing on the 15-day injured list two weeks ago with right shoulder inflammation. It might be the only rehab outing he requires before rejoining the Giants, perhaps as soon as later this week.

Imanaga (13-3) got the win over the Dodgers on Tuesday, allowing three runs on seven hits while striking out four over seven innings. He did not issue a walk.

Imanaga was hurt by the long ball, as he allowed three solo home runs, including two home runs to Tommy Edman. Imanaga was awarded a fourth straight victory after the Cubs rallied in the eighth for five runs to put him in line for the win. The lefty has now reached seven innings in three of his last four starts and Tuesday marked his eighth start this season without a walk. He owns a 3.03 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 159:25 K:BB in 160.1 innings and lines up for a home start against Oakland to begin next week.

Yamamoto did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's loss to the Cubs, allowing one run on four hits while striking out eight over four innings. He did not issue a walk.

Yamamoto looked electric in his first start since June 15, striking out eight through three innings and registering an impressive 41 percent CSW rate on 59 pitches. His only troublesome inning was in the second when the Cubs strung together three singles to bring home their only run against him. Yamamoto will likely continue to build up his pitch count as the Dodgers gear up for another playoff run and he has a great matchup ahead of him against the Marlins next week. The 26-year-old now owns a 2.88 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 92:17 K:BB in 78 innings this year.

Civale (6-8) got the win over the Giants on Tuesday, allowing two runs on three hits and a walk while striking out two over 5.1 innings.

Civale was given an early 2-0 lead before he took the mound. He gave up a run of his own in the bottom of the first but then went on to retire 13 of the next 14 batters he faced before Mike Yastrzemski opened up the sixth inning with a solo home run. Civale was pulled after just 68 pitches, but the Brewers were able to hang on to get him his fourth win in his last six starts. He's now 4-2 with a 3.84 ERA in 11 starts for Milwaukee compared to 2-6 with a 5.07 ERA in 17 starts for the Rays. For the year, Civale owns a 4.57 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 136:47 K:BB in 145.2 innings and lines up for a tough road matchup against the Diamondbacks this weekend.

Gordon will start for the Rockies on Wednesday in Detroit, MLB.com reports.

Gordon will be making a spot start in place of Austin Gomber (personal), who was placed on the paternity list Tuesday. The right-hander holds a 7.55 ERA and 25:6 K:BB over 31 innings covering seven starts with the big club in 2024 but is coming off his best start of the season with Triple-A Albuquerque, having tossed eight shutout frames last Wednesday in Tacoma.

Darvish (5-3) got the win over the Mariners on Tuesday, allowing two runs on seven hits while striking out five over five innings.

The damage against Darvish was done early with solo home runs by Cal Raleigh and Luke Raley in the first and second inning. Darvish finished with three scoreless innings and got his first win since May 19. He tossed exactly 63 pitches for a second straight start since coming off the injured list and recorded five whiffs while throwing over 75 percent of his pitches for strikes. Darvish now owns a 3.52 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 62:17 K:BB in 64 innings. He lines up for a home start versus the Astros next week.
