Nola (4-8) fired six scoreless innings, conceding three hits and two walks, to pick up the win Monday against the Mets. He struck out seven.

The veteran right-hander turned in a vintage performance with this 94-pitch outing. Prior to Monday, Nola had been struggling since returning from the injured list Aug. 17, producing an ugly 8.38 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in 19.1 frames over four starts. Nola stymied a hot New York lineup that had plated the third most runs in the second half entering Monday, as the 32-year-old tallied a season-best seven Ks. He will carry a 6.24 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 79:25 K:BB across 75 total innings into his next appearance, which currently lines up to come at home against Kansas City this weekend.

The Reds intend to activate Burns (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Friday, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Burns was cleared to resume throwing in mid-August and progressed to facing live hitters in early September. He's in the final stages of his recovery from a Grade 1 right elbow strain, and the 22-year-old looks poised to skip a rehab assignment and return to the majors as long as he gets through Tuesday's bullpen session without suffering a setback, per Wittenmyer. Burns started in all eight of his appearances with the Reds prior to his injury and posted a 5.24 ERA and 1.34 WHIP across 34.1 innings, but manager Terry Francona has hinted at Burns working out of the bullpen for the tail end of the season.

Whisenhunt (back) will throw a bullpen session Monday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

It appears to be the first time Whisenhunt has thrown from the bump since he landed on the 15-day injured list at the end of August with a back strain. Whisenhunt is eligible for activation this weekend, and it's possible he'll return then if the Giants don't think he needs a rehab start.

Glasnow (back) will start Monday's game versus the Rockies in Los Angeles, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Glasnow was scratched from his scheduled start this past Friday against the Orioles due to back tightness, but he's bounced back well enough since then to receive the go-ahead to take the ball in Monday's series opener. The right-hander threw an even 100 pitches in his most recent start nine days ago, but it's possible the Dodgers will be cautious with his workload Monday as he comes back from the injury.

Taillon (groin) will be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Wednesday's game in Atlanta, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Taillon has officially been cleared to rejoin the Cubs rotation after missing the past couple weeks of action with a strained left groin. The veteran right-hander allowed three runs on six hits --including a pair of home runs -- and a walk while striking out six over 3.2 innings in his lone rehab start with Triple-A Iowa this past Thursday. Taillon threw 68 pitches in that outing, so he'll have a somewhat limited workload Wednesday.

The Mets have shut down Megill (elbow) from throwing after the 30-year-old right-hander experienced tightness in his right arm, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Megill was knocked around for five runs on four hits and two walks while striking out three batters across two innings during Sunday's rehab start with Triple-A Syracuse. Laura Albanese of Newsday notes that Megill experienced tightness when throwing his secondary pitches and will undergo an MRI, but this latest setback puts a potential return this season in jeopardy.

Cabrera (elbow) resumed a throwing program Monday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Cabrera looked to be in danger of missing the rest of the season after he was placed on the injured list Sept. 1 due to a right elbow sprain, but his ability to resume throwing a week later leaves the door open for him to pitch again in 2025. Because he hasn't been shelved for a prolonged period, Cabrera should have sufficient time to get stretched back out for a starting role, provided he experiences no hiccups during the buildup process. Prior to being shut down last week, Cabrera had submitted a 3.50 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 52:14 K:BB In 46.1 innings over his eight starts since the All-Star break.

The Marlins activated Junk (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Monday.

Junk will start Monday's game against the Nationals after missing a couple weeks with right ulnar nerve irritation in his pitching elbow. The right-hander threw 61 pitches in his lone rehab outing with Triple-A Jacksonville last Tuesday, so he will likely be facing a bit of a limited workload Monday.

Gore (shoulder) threw a 25-pitch bullpen session Saturday and will throw off the mound again Tuesday, Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post reports.

Gore has progressed well since landing on the 15-day injured list Aug. 30 due to left shoulder inflammation. It's unclear whether the Nationals will ask the left-hander to make a rehab start prior to being activated, but Gore is tracking toward rejoining the big-league rotation at some point later this month.

The Marlins will activate Weathers (lat) from the 60-day injured list to start Thursday's game against the Nationals in Miami, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

After completing rehab starts with Triple-A Jacksonville on Aug. 30 and this past Thursday, Weathers returned to Miami on Monday and tossed a live bullpen session, per Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com. With Weathers' lat checking out fine following the throwing session, the Marlins have cleared him to slot back into the rotation for the series finale with Washington. Because Weathers has been on the shelf since June 9 due to the left lat strain and built up to 68 pitches in his most recent rehab start, he'll likely have a light workload restriction in place Thursday. Prior to landing on the IL, Weathers had made five starts this season for Miami, going 1-1 with a 3.28 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 23:8 K:BB in 24.2 innings.
