Myers allowed two runs on six hits and two walks while striking out five over four innings in a no-decision versus the Cardinals on Wednesday.

Myers was inefficient, requiring 89 pitches (59 strikes) to get through four frames, matching his shortest start since the All-Star break. On the bright side, he kept the ball in the yard for a third straight start. Myers is now at a 2.87 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 90:27 K:BB through 103.1 innings over 20 appearances (19 starts) this year. Fatigue shouldn't be an issue just yet -- the rookie right-hander threw 140.2 innings overall in 2023 and is at just 122 frames across all levels in 2024. He's tentatively projected to make his next start at home versus the Giants.

Gibson allowed two runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five over 5.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Brewers on Wednesday.

Gibson induced three double plays over the first four innings to cover his mistakes. The Brewers broke through for single runs in the fifth and sixth innings, and Gibson left with the game tied at 2-2. He's posted just two quality starts over six outings since the All-Star break, allowing a total of 18 runs (17 earned) across 34.2 innings in that span. For the season, the veteran right-hander has a 4.22 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 126:52 K:BB through 136.1 innings over 24 starts. Gibson's next start is projected to come at home versus the Padres.

Webb allowed two runs on five hits and no walks while striking out six batters over eight innings in a no-decision against the White Sox on Wednesday.

Webb got through his eight frames on just 93 pitches, 65 of which were strikes. He collected 15 whiffs among those offerings and logged his third straight quality start -- a stretch during which he's given up just three runs over 22.2 innings. Webb had a four-start winning streak snapped Wednesday due largely to a quiet San Francisco offense, but he's 5-1 since the All-Star break and hasn't given up a homer in any of his past six starts.

Taillon (8-8) allowed four runs on six hits and two walks while striking out five over five innings to take the loss Wednesday versus the Tigers.

Taillon gave up multiple homers for the third time in five starts after doing that just once in his first 17 outings this year. He gave up two-run home runs to Trey Sweeney and Riley Greene in the second inning. Taillon has allowed 20 runs over 26.1 innings across his last five starts, though he's had decent control with a 23:5 K:BB in that span. For the season, the veteran right-hander has a 3.77 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 101:26 K:BB through 126.2 innings over 22 starts. His next outing is projected to be at Pittsburgh early next week.

Fried allowed two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out four over seven innings in a no-decision versus Philadelphia on Wednesday.

This was Fried's longest and most effective outing since he returned from a forearm injury in early August. Still, his winless skid is up to seven starts, a span in which he's gone 0-4 with three no-decisions. Fried has allowed 15 runs (14 earned) across 20.2 innings in August. For the year, he's pitched to a 3.57 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 119:46 K:BB through 128.2 innings over 22 starts. His next start is projected to be at Minnesota.

Nola allowed two runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out five over 5.1 innings in a no-decision versus Atlanta on Wednesday.

Nola gave up a two-run home run to Orlando Arcia, which was all Atlanta managed to put on the board. Nola's been in a bit of a rut, issuing multiple walks in five of his last six outings. In that span, he's allowed 13 runs (12 earned) over 34.2 innings, but he's now gone seven starts without a win. The right-hander is at a 3.45 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 147:41 K:BB through 159.1 innings across 26 starts this season. Nola's next start is projected to be at home versus the Astros.

Manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday that Yamamoto (triceps) is on track to return from the 60-day injured list and rejoin the Dodgers rotation sometime in mid-September, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Roberts noted that he was impressed with Yamamoto's stuff during his two-inning simulated game Wednesday, and the right-hander will get stretched out to three innings when he throws another sim game next week. Assuming everything goes smoothly, he will then head out on a minor-league rehab assignment to continue building up to a starter's workload.

Manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday that Glasnow (elbow) has yet to begin playing catch, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

The skipper added that Glasnow likely won't be activated once he's eligible to come off the injured list Aug. 31, but the team's concern is still relatively low. A clearer return timeline for the 30-year-old right-hander may emerge once he's able to begin a throwing program.

Wicks (oblique) struck out four while allowing one hit and no walks over four scoreless innings in his rehab start Tuesday with Triple-A Iowa.

After being tagged for 10 earned runs while walking four batters in 3.2 innings over his first two rehab starts with Iowa, Wicks showed much improved command and control Tuesday while informing the Cubs afterward that he "felt great" during the outing, per Ryan Herrera of AllCHGO.com. After building up to 53 pitches Tuesday, Wicks will need at least one more outing in the minors to get fully stretched out before he returns from the 60-day injured list. Kyle Hendricks would seem to be most at risk of losing his spot in the rotation once Wicks is activated.

German allowed three hits and four walks over six scoreless innings in a no-decision Wednesday against the Rangers. He struck out four.

Making his first start this season, German was excellent, blanking the Rangers over six frames despite allowing at least one baserunner in five frames. The 31-year-old right-hander has allowed just two runs through 12 innings this year with the Pirates, posting a 1.00 WHIP with eight strikeouts. However, with Jared Jones (lat) nearing a return, German figures to head back to a swingman role in Pittsburgh.
