Sanchez (7-6) took the loss Friday against the Guardians, giving up three runs on eight hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out two.

Sanchez got little run support, as he ended up with the loss despite tossing a quality start. He's lost three of his last four starts after a streak of 11 consecutive outings without a loss. The 27-year-old remains a steady option with quality starts in nine of his last 14 starts, and he's allowed just three home runs in 115 innings this season. Sanchez will take a 3.05 ERA into his next start, tentatively scheduled to come against the Yankees.

Senga was removed from his start Friday against Atlanta due to a left calf strain.

Senga went to the ground grabbing at his left calf while running to cover first base on a pop-up in the sixth inning. The Mets have yet to provide any information regarding the severity of his injury, though the right-hander was able to walk off the field under his own power. Senga was activated off the injured list earlier Friday after missing the first several months of the year due to issues with his right shoulder and triceps, and he allowed two earned runs on two hits and a walk while striking out nine batters through 5.1 frames in his season debut.

Cobb (hip/shoulder) is scheduled to throw five innings for Triple-A Sacramento on Friday in what is expected to be his final rehab start, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Friday's rehab start will be Cobb's sixth as part of his recovery from offseason hip surgery and midseason shoulder soreness. If all goes well, the right-hander would be in line to pitch Wednesday against the Athletics, a move that would push Jordan Hicks to the bullpen. Cobb has yielded five runs with a 20:5 K:BB across 16.1 minor-league innings during his rehab stint.

Winn is scheduled to undergo a season-ending ulnar nerve transposition procedure Monday on his right elbow, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Winn was initially placed on the 15-day injured list June 22 due to a nerve issue in his right elbow. He began his rehab program by throwing bullpen sessions in early July, but he was shut down from throwing Monday after experiencing additional discomfort and has now been recommended for surgery. Winn will shift his focus to getting healthy for spring training, but he'll finish the 2024 campaign with a 3-8 record, 7.16 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 48:20 K:BB across 55.1 innings.

Alcantara (elbow) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Saturday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Alcantara threw off a mound Wednesday for the first time since undergoing Tommy John surgery last October and will toss another bullpen Saturday. The right-hander remains on schedule for a full recovery by spring training 2025.

Rodriguez (shoulder) threw two innings in a simulated game Friday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Rodriguez began throwing off a mound July 9, and Friday marks the first time he has pitched in a simulated game. He's slated to throw another bullpen session Monday and could be closing in on a rehab assignment, though the Diamondbacks have yet to confirm the next steps in his recovery.

Kelly (shoulder) threw two innings in a simulated game Thursday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Kelly faced hitters for the first time since being placed on the injured list in late April with a strained right shoulder. The 35-year-old is slated to throw again Sunday and looks to be nearing a rehab assignment. Kelly has only made four starts this season, and will likely require multiple rehab starts before being cleared.

Wicks (oblique) will throw a bullpen Friday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Wicks' recovery from a Grade 2 right oblique strain has gone more slowly than expected, but he'll throw off a mound Friday for the first time since being placed on the IL on June 15. Wicks becomes eligible to return from the 60-day IL in mid-August, but he may require more time to recover.

The Marlins optioned Munoz to Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday.

Munoz surrendered six runs in five innings during a start against the Orioles on Thursday and was removed from the active roster. Since being recalled June 8, Munoz logged a 5.76 ERA in 45.1 innings for Miami.

Meyer will be recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville to start Saturday in Milwaukee, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

The young right-hander has spent more than three months at Jacksonville even as injuries decimated the Marlins' rotation depth, but he will finally get the call back to the majors. Meyer was initially limited to 3-to-4 innings at a time after being sent down, but he was starting to get stretched out more in his last few starts with Jacksonville. De Nicola notes that while Miami will still be mindful of Meyer's workload down the stretch, the club doesn't appear to have a hard cap on his innings the rest of the way. Meyer has thus far logged 75 innings between Miami and Jacksonville this season.
