Luis Severino SP | NYM
Mets' Luis Severino: Notches 10th victory
Severino (10-6) earned the win over Boston on Monday, allowing one run on six hits and two walks while striking out five batters over seven innings.
Severino yielded just one extra-base hit (a triple) and threw 66 of 100 pitches for strikes. The veteran right-hander picked up just his second quality start over his past eight outings, with the other being a complete-game shutout of Miami on Aug. 17. Monday's victory was Severino's 10th of the campaign, marking the first time he has reached double-digit wins since he went 19-8 for the Yankees in 2018. Not coincidentally, 2024 is the first time he's logged 20 starts since that standout 2018 campaign.

Andre Pallante SP | STL
Cardinals' Andre Pallante: Struggles against Brewers
Pallante took the loss Monday against Milwaukee, allowing five runs on five hits and five walks with three strikeouts across five innings.
Pallante issued a season-high five walks Monday and failed to pitch into the sixth inning after doing so in four straight starts. It was his first time allowing multiple home runs in an appearance this season, giving up a three-run shot to Willy Adames in the first and a two-run homer to Rhys Hoskins in the fourth. Since the start of August, Pallante has a 4.11 ERA with a 22:17 K:BB across 35 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Reds next time out.

Freddy Peralta SP | MIL
Brewers' Freddy Peralta: Picks up another win
Peralta (10-7) earned the win Monday against St. Louis, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks across 5.1 innings. He struck out three.
Peralta nabbed his third win in four starts, though Monday's outing was his third time striking out three or fewer hitters in that stretch. The 28-year-old surrendered a pair of solo home runs to Pedro Pages but was otherwise impressive. Through 153.2 innings this season, Peralta has a 3.75 ERA and a 175:58 K:BB. He's tentatively scheduled to close out a two-start week this weekend against Colorado.

Kyle Hendricks SP | CHC
Cubs' Kyle Hendricks: Starting Tuesday
Hendricks will start Tuesday's game against the Pirates, Kyle Williams of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Hendricks looked to be destined to head to the bullpen after the return of Jordan Wicks from the 60-day injured list Sunday gave the Cubs five healthy starters. However, Justin Steele was scratched from his start Tuesday due to elbow soreness, resulting in Hendricks sticking around in the rotation for now. Hendricks served up six earned runs across only 1.2 innings in a start Wednesday against Pittsburgh, though he had been more effective in his prior four outings (3.92 ERA, 1.26 WHIP in 20.2 innings).

Justin Steele SP | CHC
Cubs' Justin Steele: Scratched from Tuesday's start
Steele will not start Tuesday's game against the Pirates after experiencing elbow soreness, Kyle Williams of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Manager Craig Counsell didn't provide many details, and it's unclear whether Steele will require imaging or a potential stint on the injured list. Kyle Hendricks will make a spot start in Steele's place.

Yu Darvish SP | SD
Padres' Yu Darvish: Confirmed for Wednesday start
Darvish (elbow) will be reinstated from the 15-day injured list to start Wednesday against the Tigers, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Darvish hasn't pitched for the Padres since May 29, but after throwing 66 pitches in a simulated game Friday and then completing a bullpen session Monday, he's in the line to return to action versus Detroit. Because he hasn't pitched in a formal game environment since making a minor-league rehab appearance June 19, Darvish could have a workload restrictions imposed on him in his return to the big-league rotation.

Joe Musgrove SP | SD
Padres' Joe Musgrove: Fires six scoreless in win
Musgrove (5-4) earned the win against the Tigers on Monday, allowing three hits and two walks while striking out eight over six scoreless innings.
Musgrove was fantastic, yielding only singles while generating 15 swinging strikes on 94 pitches. He has excelled in five outings since returning from injury Aug. 12, yielding just four total earned runs and logging three consecutive quality starts. On the season, the 31-year-old owns a 4.09 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 71:21 K:BB across 77 innings and next lines up to face the Giants this weekend.

Jordan Montgomery SP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Jordan Montgomery: Dealing with contusion
Montgomery (lower leg) was diagnosed with a contusion after leaving Monday's game against the Dodgers, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Montgomery was forced to leave Monday's game after taking a comebacker to his right leg. While he may not be available for a couple days, it appears that he avoided serious injury.

Jordan Montgomery SP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Jordan Montgomery: Exits appearance with injury
Montgomery was removed from Monday's appearance versus the Dodgers in the seventh inning after being hit in the lower right leg with a comebacker, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.
The left-hander immediately developed a sizable welt on his leg after being hit with a Teoscar Hernandez comebacker. Montgomery was making his second relief appearance since being demoted to the bullpen and was charged with three runs over 2.2 innings. The Diamondbacks should have more on Montgomery's condition after the game.

Yu Darvish SP | SD
Padres' Yu Darvish: Tracking toward return Wednesday
Darvish (elbow) is expected to rejoin the Padres' rotation Wednesday against the Tigers, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Darvish threw 66 pitches in a simulated game against minor leaguers last Friday and followed that up with a bullpen session Monday. The Padres have not yet confirmed that Darvish is in line to return Wednesday, but things appear to be pointing in that direction. Darvish hasn't made a start for the Padres since late May and his one rehab start came back on June 19, so it would not be a surprise if there's some rust Wednesday.
