The Giants promoted Eldridge from Double-A Richmond to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.

After playing just nine games with Richmond, during which he went 10-for-37 with a homer and four RBI, Eldridge will now reach the Triple-A level after beginning the season at Single-A. The 19-year-old first baseman has slashed .293/.376/.534 with 23 home runs and 90 RBI across three minor-league levels. Depending on how well he does with Sacramento to close out the season, he could begin the 2025 campaign with the River Cats, and there's a solid chance he claims the big-league first base job at some point next year.

Manager Dave Roberts said Friday that initial scans on Glasnow's right elbow were "promising," Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Glasnow reported discomfort in his elbow while warming up for a simulated game Friday. While the Dodgers skipper didn't get into specific details regarding the right-hander's status, it seems there may still be a chance he returns in time to make another start before the end of the regular season.

Fedde allowed three runs on six hits and a walk over five innings in a no-decision Friday. He struck out three during the extra-innings loss to Toronto.

Fedde tossed three shutout frames before the Blue Jays pushed across three runs in the fourth inning.

Fedde is 0-5 over his last six starts and hasn't won since Aug. 7. He'll look to get back on track in his next start, which is projected to come at home against the Pirates.

Nola (12-8) took the loss Friday against the Mets, allowing six runs on six hits and two walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out seven.

Nola was cruising early Friday, holding the Mets without a hit through his first four innings. However, things would unravel quickly in the fifth when New York led off the frame with back-to-back singles before Francisco Alvarez launched a three-run homer. Nola would allow a second three-run blast to Brandon Nimmo later in the frame, forcing the Phillies to turn to the bullpen. The 31-year-old Nola has dropped back-to-back starts, allowing 10 earned runs over 9.1 innings in that span. His ERA sits at 3.62 on the season with a 1.20 WHIP and 174:47 K:BB across 181.1 innings. Nola will look to get back on track in his next outing, currently scheduled for next week on the road in Milwaukee.

Herz (4-7) yielded a run on four hits and a walk over five innings Friday, striking out five and earning a win over the Marlins.

He hasn't thrown six innings in a start since Aug. 14 but has registered a 2.49 ERA over five appearances since then. Herz owns a 3.70 ERA with a 98:30 K:BB through 80.1 innings this season. He's projected for a road matchup with the Mets next week.

Quintana continued a stellar run Friday, blanking a potent Phillies offense on 94 pitches (62 strikes). He's won three straight starts while allowing just one earned run in his last four outings (25 innings). After a shaky start to the year, Quintana's lowered his ERA to 3.91 with a 1.27 WHIP and 122:59 K:BB across 159 innings this season. He'll look to keep rolling in his next start, currently lined up for next week at home against the Nationals.

Cabrera (4-7) allowed two unearned runs on one hit and one walk over six innings Friday, striking out nine and taking a loss against Washington.

Cabrera's own error contributed to a two-run first inning, but he settling in for a dominant outing. He racked up nine punchouts for the first time since May 2 and generated 16 whiffs, including seven with his changeup. Cabrera has produced an 18:4 K:BB while allowing only one earned run over his last 18.1 innings. Since returning from the injured list in July, he's registered a 3.72 ERA, lowering his season mark to 4.55 through 89 innings.

Stone landed on the 15-day injured list Sept. 6 due to right shoulder inflammation. The Dodgers' rotation is short-handed with Clayton Kershaw (toe) and Tyler Glasnow (elbow) also on the IL, but Stone at least has taken a step in the right direction with the playoffs just around the corner. Stone has an 11-5 record across 25 starts this season with a 3.53 ERA and 1.21 WHIP across 140.1 innings.

Glasnow was slated to face live hitters for two or three simulated innings, but he instead returned to the clubhouse after warming up. The 31-year-old right-hander will get additional testing on his elbow to provide some clarity on his chances of returning before the end of the regular season, per Juan Toribio of MLB.com. Glasnow has been on the 15-day injured list since Aug. 16 due to tendinitis in his right elbow.
