Chase Dollander SP | COL
Rockies' Chase Dollander: Sharp in no-decision
Dollander allowed one run on one hit and two walks while striking out five over five innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Monday.
Dollander did his part, but the Rockies got no-hit for the first eight innings of the game. They were able to scrape together a run to keep Dollander from taking the loss, and it's encouraging he pitched well after allowing 10 runs over 9.1 innings across his first two career starts against the Dodgers. Despite this positive step forward, he still has a 6.52 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 82:49 K:BB through 98 innings over 21 starts this season. The rookie right-hander's next start is projected to be in San Diego this weekend.

Tyler Glasnow SP | LAD
Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: Spins seven no-hit innings
Glasnow (2-3) threw seven no-hit innings, allowing one run on two walks while striking out 11 and earning the win over the Rockies on Monday.
Glasnow was scratched from starting Friday versus the Orioles due to back tightness, but the extra rest appears to have done wonders for him. He wasn't limited in Monday's start, throwing 65 of 105 pitches for strikes in his best outing of the season. Glasnow lowered his ERA to 3.21 with a 1.03 WHIP and 92:34 K:BB through 75.2 innings over 15 starts this season. Assuming he comes out of this impressive effort in fine shape, he's projected to make his next start at home in a tough matchup versus the Phillies next week.

Logan Webb SP | SF
Giants' Logan Webb: Secures 14th win
Webb (14-9) allowed four runs (one earned) on five hits and two walks while striking out seven over six innings to earn the win over the Diamondbacks on Monday.
The Giants fell behind early after an error led to three runners eventually crossing the plate in the second inning. Webb was steady enough to overcome that, and the Giants' offense took over in the sixth to help him secure his fourth win in his last five starts. He's allowed a total of 10 runs (seven earned) with a 33:6 K:BB across 31 innings in that span. Overall, Webb has a 3.12 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and a career-high 201 strikeouts through 184.2 innings over 30 starts this season. The 28-year-old's next start is projected to be at home versus the Dodgers this weekend as he attempts to tie his career high of 15 wins.

Jose Quintana SP | MIL
Brewers' Jose Quintana: Serves up grand slam in sixth loss
Quintana (11-6) took the loss Monday against Texas, allowing five runs on four hits and two walks in 6.2 innings. He struck out four.
Most of the damage was done courtesy of a Michael Helman grand slam in the fifth inning, though it was still Quintana's longest outing of the season. The veteran southpaw has lasted at least five innings in 13 of his last 14 starts. Quintana has put together a respectable 3.88 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 87:48 K:BB across 127.2 innings, and he's next scheduled to take the mound at home against the Cardinals over the weekend.

Chad Patrick P | MIL
Brewers' Chad Patrick: Tapped for Tuesday's start
Patrick will be recalled from Triple-A Nashville to start Tuesday's game against the Rangers in Arlington, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Patrick is no stranger to starting in the big leagues this season, and he's posted a 3.10 ERA and 1.18 WHIP with 21 strikeouts over his last four outings with the Brewers dating back to June 29. The right-hander appears to be in line for a spot start during a busy period in the schedule for the Brewers, so Patrick may not be guaranteed any turns through the rotation after Tuesday.

Shota Imanaga RP | CHC
Cubs' Shota Imanaga: Another quality start in loss
Imanaga (9-7) took the loss Monday against Atlanta, allowing three runs on five hits and no walks in six innings. He struck out four.
That's now seven consecutive quality starts for Imanaga, who also issued no walks for the first time since his Aug. 10 outing in St. Louis. The star left-hander has allowed fewer than six hits in eight straight appearances, and he's worked to a 3.13 ERA, 0.74 WHIP and 38:6 K:BB over 46 frames since the beginning of August. Imanaga also has a 3.21 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 101:23 K:BB over 129 innings for the campaign, and he's next set to face a Rays team with a poor .655 OPS versus left-handed pitching since the All-Star break.

Cade Cavalli SP | WAS
Nationals' Cade Cavalli: Notches third win
Cavalli (3-1) earned the win Monday at Miami, allowing two runs on six hits and one walk over five innings with one strikeout.
The 27-year-old contained the Marlins lineup over this short outing with his offense providing 15 runs of support. Cavalli fired 61 total pitches, 41 of which were strikes, as the Nationals monitor the workload for their oft-injured righty. The former first-rounder has pitched to a 4.67 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 29:9 K:BB across 34.2 total frames this season. Cavalli is currently slated to make his next appearance at home against the Pirates this weekend.

Bryce Elder SP | ATL
Braves' Bryce Elder: Strong run continues in seventh win
Elder (7-9) notched the win Monday against the Cubs, allowing one run on five hits and one walk in 6.1 innings. He struck out six.
Since being torched for eight runs in his Aug. 19 start against the White Sox, Elder has gotten himself into quite the groove on the hill. The right-hander has thrown at least six innings while yielding two runs or fewer in four consecutive outings, improving his ERA from 6.29 following that Aug. 19 appearance to 5.35 for the season during that span. Elder will be trying to keep the good times rolling this weekend at home against the Astros. Through 138 innings, he has a 1.41 WHIP and 111:48 K:BB to go with the aforementioned 5.35 ERA.

Janson Junk RP | MIA
Marlins' Janson Junk: Pummeled in return
Junk (6-3) took the loss Monday against Washington, conceding six runs on eight hits and two walks over 4.1 innings with three strikeouts.
The Miami right-hander looked rusty as he returned from an elbow injury that kept him out since Aug. 27. Junk completely unraveled in the fifth, as he allowed four of the first five batters to reach before being lifted for reliever Seth Martinez. After posting a 2.68 ERA in his first 50.1 frames this season, Junk has struggled since, producing a dreadful 6.64 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 26:8 K:BB over 42 innings. He is currently slated to make his next start at home against the playoff-bound Tigers this weekend.

Nolan McLean P | NYM
Mets' Nolan McLean: Suffers first loss
McLean (4-1) took the loss Monday at Philadelphia, allowing one run on seven hits and three walks over 5.1 innings with five strikeouts.
Despite being saddled with his first loss, the rookie right-hander held his own against the division-leading Phillies in this 91-pitch outing. McLean generated a solid 13 whiffs, as he's tallied five or more Ks in each of his first five starts. The 24-year-old now sports a sterling 1.42 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 33:10 K:BB across 31.2 total frames. He currently lines up to make his next appearance at home against Texas this weekend.
