Corbin (2-12) took the loss Monday, allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk over six innings against the Giants. He struck out six.

Things went awry for the veteran southpaw out the gate, as he allowed a leadoff 416-foot homer to Tyler Fitzgerald. Corbin allowed another homer of the three-run variety to Matt Chapman in the third inning, cementing his 12th loss, tying him for the most in the league. It's been another rough season for the 35-year-old, as he now sports a 5.88 ERA and 1.52 WHIP across 127 innings on the year. Corbin is currently scheduled to face the Angels at home in his next start this weekend.

Pallante (4-6) took the loss Monday against the Mets, allowing five runs on five hits and two walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out two.

Pallante worked in and out of trouble over the first four frames Monday, giving up only one run before running into a buzzsaw in the fifth that was capped by a three-run double by Tyrone Taylor. Pallante has pitched well since joining the rotation in late May, posting a 3.61 ERA over 52.1 frames covering 10 starts, but Monday's outing was his fourth start in that span in which he allowed four runs or more. He should get more opportunities to start as long as Lance Lynn remains out, but his days as a starter could end when Lynn returns to the fold.

Manaea (8-4) picked up the win Monday, scattering six hits over seven scoreless innings in a 6-0 victory against the Cardinals. He struck out 10.

Manaea tossed a gem for his second consecutive outing, the first time since 2018 in which he throws back-to-back starts of seven innings without allowing an earned run. Manaea picked up double-digit strikeouts in consecutive starts for the first time in his career. The 32-year-old is 5-1 with a 2.28 ERA over his last 10 starts, the fourth-best ERA in the National League over that span.

Webb (9-8) earned the win Monday against Washington, allowing one run on four hits and three walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out five.

The San Francisco right-hander survived a hot afternoon at Nationals Park, tossing 95 pitches in this outing as the Washington lineup worked counts. Webb has now issued three or more walks in four of his last seven starts, pitching to a 4.03 ERA with 35:16 K:BB across 44.2 innings. Overall, the 27-year-old sports a 3.42 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 125:39 K:BB in 150 innings this season. Webb currently lines up to make his next start against the Tigers in Detroit this weekend.

Single-A Bradenton reinstated Kennedy (undisclosed) from the 7-day injured list Friday.

Kennedy had been on the shelf since June 16 before he made his return to action Friday against Palm Beach. He started and covered three innings, striking out four batters while giving up one earned run on two hits and zero walks. The 19-year-old lefty owns a 4.61 ERA and 64:11 K:BB across 56.2 innings for Bradenton this season.

Suarez (back) threw a bullpen session Monday without issue, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Suarez completed his expected throwing session Monday and will likely be checked on Tuesday by the club's training staff to determine if he can advance to the next step in his rehab. The southpaw will need to progress to facing live hitters before getting the green light to return from the 15-day injured list.

Weathers (finger) completed a flat-ground throwing session Monday and is hopeful to resume throwing bullpen sessions in two weeks, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Weathers was placed on the injured list June 8 with a left index finger strain and has had a slow recovery thus far. Though his workout Monday is a step in the right direction, Weathers isn't on pace to face hitters until late August in a best-case scenario, and he'll require multiple rehab starts after that before a return from the 60-day IL becomes a possibility. The southpaw might not have enough time to get fully stretched out for a starting role during his rehab assignment, so if he comes off the IL in September, he might have to work out of the bullpen.

Luzardo (back) will remain shut down from throwing for at least six more weeks, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Luzardo had been participating in workouts throughout July that focused on strengthening his forearm and shoulder. Still, he's yet to throw since being placed on the injured list June 22, and he isn't particularly close to doing so. It's looking increasingly unlikely that Luzardo will pitch again in 2024, especially with the non-contending Marlins having little at stake as the regular season winds down. Luzardo went 3-6 with a 5.00 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 58:22 K:BB over 66.2 innings before landing on the IL with a lumbar stress reaction.

Atlanta recalled Elder from Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.

He'll join Atlanta's 26-man active roster as a replacement for right-hander Reynaldo Lopez (forearm), who was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. According to Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Elder will also take over Lopez's spot in the rotation, as he's scheduled to start Tuesday in the first game of Atlanta's home series versus Milwaukee. Elder has previously made nine starts for the big club this season, delivering a 5.67 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 40:15 K:BB across 46 innings.

Atlanta placed Lopez on the 15-day injured list Monday with right forearm inflammation.

Atlanta had been hoping that Lopez would miss just one turn through the rotation after an MRI revealed no structural damage to his forearm, but the right-hander wasn't progressing as quickly as expected, as he hadn't thrown off a mound since exiting his last start July 28. The club will now give Lopez some extra time to heal up, and since his placement on the IL is backdated to this past Friday, he'll be eligible for activation as soon as Aug. 17. Atlanta called up Bryce Elder from Triple-A Gwinnett in a corresponding move, and he'll step into Lopez's spot in the rotation and start Tuesday's game against the Brewers.
