Johnson (0-1) took the loss Sunday, allowing nine runs on eight hits and three walks over 2.1 innings against the Marlins.

Johnson's major-league debut did not go as planned, as he allowed 11 batters to reach base and nine runs to score while collecting only seven outs. The right-handed newcomer was acquired from Baltimore prior to the trade deadline and was given the opportunity after allowing just one run across 16 innings spanning three starts at Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Johnson presumably had an opportunity to secure a longer look from the Phillies had he shown some effectiveness, but it's tough to see him getting another opportunity after such a rough performance.

Cabrera (4-6) earned the win Sunday, allowing three hits and one walk over seven scoreless innings against the Phillies. He struck out six.

Cabrera shut down a potent Phillies lineup, allowing only four baserunners through seven shutout innings. He was initially slated to start Friday's contest, but a migraine pushed his start back to Sunday and Cabrera delivered a quality performance. It was the second time in the last month that Cabrera has completed seven scoreless innings and the eighth time in his last nine starts that he's tossed at least five innings while allowing three or fewer runs. Cabrera will look to continue his strong close to the season when he takes on the Nationals in Washington.

Severino did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing one run on five hits and two walks over 6.2 innings against the Reds. He struck out eight.

Severino held the Reds off the board through six and nearly made it out of the seventh unscathed, but a two-out RBI single by Noelvi Marte knocked Severino out with the game tied at one. It was the fourth time in his last six starts that Severino has struck out at least eight and the fourth time in five starts he's allowed no more than one earned run, and he holds a 1.95 ERA over that stretch. He remains a key cog in the Mets' playoff push and will look to continue the momentum in his next start, tentatively slated to take place when the Mets travel to Philadelphia for a showdown against the Phillies.

Montgomery (lower leg) made a relief appearance in Friday's 8-0 loss to the Astros, giving up four earned runs on four hits and one walk while striking out three.

Montgomery was lifted from his prior appearance in Monday's 11-6 loss to the Dodgers after being struck in the lower right leg with a comebacker, but he was diagnosed with a bruise after subsequent tests returned negative. After a few days of rest, Montgomery was available out of the bullpen, where he'll likely remain for the rest of the season so long as Arizona's current five starters are healthy. Expect Montgomery to continue working mostly in lower-leverage spots.

Taillon (10-8) gave up one run on six hits and a walk while striking out six over six innings to earn the win over the Yankees on Sunday.

The Cubs put up two runs in the first inning, and that was enough for Taillon to work with. He gave up one run in the second on a sacrifice fly. After posting a quality start in just one of his five outings in August, the veteran right-hander has two of them to begin September, allowing one run on nine hits and two walks over 13 innings this month. Taillon is now at a 3.57 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 113:28 K:BB through 146.1 innings over 25 starts this season. He's set for a tough task in his next start, which is projected to be at Colorado.

Corbin (5-13) took the loss Sunday, allowing seven runs on 10 hits over six innings against the Pirates. He struck out five.

Corbin entered the contest having allowed three runs total while accumulating wins in each of his last three starts but allowed four runs in the first and seven total over his six-inning performance. The seven runs allowed represented the second time since mid-June that he's allowed more than four runs in a start. Corbin's next opportunity to eat innings for the Nationals is tentatively slated to take place at home against the Marlins.

Jones (6-7) earned the win Sunday, allowing two runs on four hits over seven innings against the Nationals. He struck out nine.

Jones matched a career high by tossing seven innings, while the nine whiffs were the most he's accumulated in a start since the beginning of May. After allowing single runs in each of the first two innings, Jones retired the final 16 batters he faced, including striking out five of the final six. It was Jones' 11th quality start in 19 appearances this season and second consecutive quality start after struggling in his initial outing following a two-month absence due to a lat injury. With the Pirates out of playoff contention, Jones is a candidate to be limited over the final few weeks of the season. However, as long as he's taking the hill, he belongs in fantasy lineups. He's tentatively lined up to make his next start in a home matchup against the Royals.

German cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

German was designated for assignment Thursday by the Pirates but will stick in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. In two stints with Pittsburgh this season, the 32-year-old has a 7.84 ERA, 1.84 WHIP and 18:13 K:BB across 20.2 innings.

Wrobleski was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday.

The left-hander was called up from Oklahoma City on Friday and will return to the minors after delivering two scoreless innings out of the bullpen Saturday against Cleveland. Wrobleski has a 6.40 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 22:14 K:BB across 32.1 frames in the big leagues this season.

Megill is available out of the bullpen Sunday against the Reds, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

The right-hander allowed four runs with a 9:2 K:BB over 9.1 frames in the past two turns through the rotation for the Mets, but he'll shift to the bullpen with Paul Blackburn (hand) returning from the injured list Monday in Toronto. Megill could be called upon for a spot start or two down the stretch, but for now he'll operate in a long-relief role.
