Weathers (lat) struck out three and scattered five hits and one walk over 4.2 scoreless innings in a rehab start Thursday with Triple-A Jacksonville.

Making his second rehab appearance for Jacksonville, Weathers built up to 68 pitches after tossing 60 in his previous outing last Saturday. He fired 44 of his pitches for strikes and induced swings and misses on 12 of those offerings. The Marlins have yet to reveal the next step for Weathers, but the southpaw could be reinstated from the 60-day injured list to make a start during next week's series with the Nationals, which would mark his first appearance at the big-league level since June 7. If Weathers is activated during the upcoming week, he would likely be operating with a light workload restriction in his first start back from the IL.

Junk (elbow) struck out eight and allowed one earned run on three hits and no walks over five innings in a rehab start Tuesday with Triple-A Jacksonville.

Back on the mound for the first time since landing on the injured list Aug. 27 due to right ulnar nerve irritation, Junk tossed 61 pitches and performed about as well as Miami could have hoped during the Triple-A outing. Assuming he bounces back well from his between-starts bullpen session, Junk could be cleared to return from the IL for Sunday's game versus the Phillies or for Monday's series opener versus the Nationals.

Reds manager Terry Francona said Friday that Lodolo (illness) will start Monday's game in San Diego, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

Lodolo had to be scratched from his last scheduled outing due to an illness but will be ready to rejoin the Reds' rotation for Monday's series opener versus the Padres. The left-hander is tentatively set up for a two-start week, with the second matchup coming on the road versus the Athletics.

Mendez has a 7.88 ERA, 1.75 WHIP and 22:14 K:BB in 16 innings across four starts for Double-A San Antonio.

In a system that has been ravaged by trades, Mendez is one of the most talented prospects remaining, despite his poor results since getting promoted to Double-A on Aug. 1. The skinny 6-foot-2 righty's fastball regularly touches triple digits and he has one of the best sliders in the minors, but poor control may push him to relief eventually. Mendez, who turned 23 in July, logged a 1.32 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 70:24 K:BB in 61.1 innings at High-A Fort Wayne earlier this season.

The Mets optioned Senga to Triple-A Syracuse on Friday.

Senga has struggled since the All-Star break, posting a 0-3 record, a 6.56 ERA and a 35:22 K:BB across eight starts spanning 35.2 innings. Amid Senga's struggles, manager Carlos Mendoza hinted Sunday that the Mets could look elsewhere for starts as they push for a playoff spot. Not only will Senga lose his spot in the rotation, but he's also agreed to a demotion as he tries to regain his form. Wander Suero will join the big-league club in a corresponding move. Per Andy Martino of SNY.tv, the Mets are hoping to recall Senga after a couple starts with Syracuse, though that will depend on how he fares.

Susana has been diagnosed with a right lat strain, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

Susana had to be removed from his last start at Double-A Harrisburg with the injury. He will meet with the Nationals' medical staff soon to discuss his options, but the injury will likely prevent Susana from pitching again this season. The 21-year-old has collected a 3.51 ERA and 95:34 K:BB over 56.1 innings covering 14 starts between High-A Wilmington and Harrisburg in 2025. Susana previously missed time this season due to a sprained elbow.

Gray (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Wilmington on Sunday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

Gray is slated to throw two innings or 35 pitches during Sunday's outing, his first game action since undergoing Tommy John surgery with an internal brace in July of 2024. Considering the lengthy layoff, Gray will require several rehab starts before being cleared to come off the injured list. Still, the 27-year-old has a chance to pitch for the Nationals before the 2025 season ends.

Skenes (10-9) earned the win Thursday against the Dodgers, allowing two hits and one walk in six shutout innings. He struck out eight.

Skenes was at his best against a scary Dodgers lineup, tying a season low in hits allowed during his fifth scoreless start since the All-Star break. The All-Star right-hander continues to be one of the top pitchers in baseball, having now conceded two runs or fewer in 24 of his 29 appearances in 2025. Skenes is well on his way to notching his first career National League Cy Young Award, posting a 1.98 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 195:39 K:BB across 173 innings. On tap for Skenes next week is a matchup with the last-place Orioles at Camden Yards.

Snell (3-4) took the loss Thursday against the Pirates, allowing five runs on nine hits and three walks in five innings. He struck out six.

Snell established season worsts in both hits and runs allowed Thursday, and he walked multiple batters for the seventh time in eight starts this year. On a positive note, the veteran southpaw fanned at least five for the fifth time in his last six outings, and he's worked at least five frames in seven appearances in 2025. Snell has a 3.19 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 44:21 K:BB over 42.1 innings overall, and he's set to get a favorable home matchup against the last-place Rockies his next time out.

Suarez (11-6) picked up the win Thursday against the Brewers, allowing six hits and two walks in six scoreless innings. He struck out four.

Suarez has now given up one run or zero while throwing at least five innings in three straight starts. The left-hander has also logged a quality start in three of his last four outings, and he's worked at least five frames in eight consecutive appearances as well. Suarez boasts a 2.89 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 128:32 K:BB over his 137 innings, and he's next in line for a stiff assignment against a Mets team with an .845 OPS versus left-handed pitching since the beginning of August.
