Gray (13-9) earned the win Thursday over the Reds, allowing one run on two hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out nine.

It was another excellent outing from Gray -- the right-hander's now held opponents to one run in each of his last three starts (19 innings) while posting a 20:3 K:BB in that span. The veteran right-hander's lowered his ERA to 3.75 on the year with a 1.07 WHIP and 195 strikeouts (10 shy of a career high) across 160.2 innings. Gray will look to keep rolling his next time out, currently scheduled as a home matchup with the Pirates next week.

Feltner didn't factor into the decision Thursday against Detroit, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out six.

Feltner has now turned in back-to-back strong outings, allowing three runs on just five hits across 11.2 innings in that span. The right-hander's lowered his ERA to 4.89 on the campaign with a 1.39 WHIP and 127:47 K:BB across 27 starts (143.2 innings). Feltner's currently on track for a home matchup with the Diamondbacks early next week.

Dollander has a 2.25 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 58 strikeouts in 48 innings through nine starts for Double-A Hartford.

All told, he has a 2.59 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 169 strikeouts in 118 innings across 23 starts between High-A and Double-A. Dollander is one of the best pitchers in the minors, but his dynasty value doesn't match his real-life value, given that he'll be pitching half his games in Coors Field.

Susana logged a 2.40 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 27 strikeouts in 15 innings over his final three starts for High-A Wilmington.

The big righty had a pair of 10-strikeout performances to put a bow on his age-20 campaign. His fielding-independent stats paint a better picture (FIP and xFIP below 3.00 at Single-A and High-A) than his 4.34 ERA and 1.31 WHIP in 103.2 innings across the two levels. Susana's 35.4 percent strikeout rate ranked fourth in the minors among pitchers who threw 100-plus innings this season.

White threw exactly five innings in each of his final eight starts for High-A Beloit, logging a 2.25 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 42 strikeouts in 40 innings over that stretch.

The lanky 6-foot-5 southpaw seemingly got better as the season went on, logging a 2.61 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 21.7 K-BB% in 13 starts at High-A after logging a 3.18 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 17.2 K-BB% in eight starts for Single-A Jupiter to begin the year. White has long limbs and has struggled to throw strikes at times, but he showed impressive consistency down the stretch. He may head to Double-A for the beginning of his age-20 season, and if he throws enough strikes, he could finish 2025 as one of the game's top pitching prospects.

Miller did not factor into the decision in a win over the Cubs on Wednesday, allowing six runs on five hits and four walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out two.

Miller got knocked around early, issuing back-to-back walks, followed by back-to-back singles with two outs in the first inning. He would surrender two runs in the frame before then going on to give up two long balls between the third and fifth innings. It marked Miller's second consecutive start in which he allowed at least six runs, and he's now given up multiple home runs in five of his last six outings. The right-hander's ERA now sits at an atrocious 8.17 for the season.

Wheeler (15-6) picked up the win Wednesday, giving up two runs on four hits and three walks over six innings in a 3-2 victory over the Rays. He struck out nine.

The veteran right-hander delivered his eighth straight quality start on 103 pitches (69 strikes), a stretch in which he's gone 5-1 with a 1.76 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 60:9 K:BB through 51 innings. With the Phillies closing in on clinching the NL East title, they could be tempted to give their ace some extra rest ahead of the playoffs, but his current form doesn't suggest he needs it. Wheeler lines up to make his next start on the road early next week in Milwaukee.

Gordon (0-6) took the loss Wednesday, surrendering seven runs on 10 hits over 3.1 innings as the Rockies fell 7-4 to the Tigers. He struck out one without walking a batter.

Six of the runs came in the first inning, as Gordon served up a solo shot to Riley Greene and a three-run homer to Trey Sweeney before finally escaping the frame. Gordon hadn't pitched in the majors since Aug. 21, and despite all the injuries in the Colorado rotation, this performance doesn't seem likely to buy the right-hander another start. Through 34.1 big-league innings this season, he carries an 8.65 ERA, 1.72 WHIP and 26:6 K:BB.

Montgomery recorded his first career save in Wednesday's 14-4 rout of the Rangers, giving up two hits and a walk over three scoreless innings of relief.

An early exit for Merrill Kelly (hamstring) threatened to tax the Arizona bullpen, but after three other relievers covered the fifth and sixth innings, Montgomery breezed through the final three frames on 37 pitches (23 strikes). The veteran lefty hasn't had a smooth adjustment to long-relief duties, and over his last four appearances he's posted a 4.85 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 6:4 K:BB in 13 innings. Expect Montgomery to continue being used only in low-leverage situations.

Wicks did not factor into the decision in a loss to the Dodgers on Wednesday, allowing seven runs on eight hits and four walks over three innings while striking out two.

Wicks got off to a horrendous start, surrendering a leadoff homer to Shohei Ohtani to open the game, followed by three consecutive home runs with two outs in the frame. The lefty would only make it through three innings after allowing a season-high seven runs, but he still managed to avoid taking the loss thanks to a productive day on offense for Chicago. The four long balls allowed also marked a season high for Wicks, and he now carries a 7.62 ERA in September through three starts. Additionally, he's issued four walks in back-to-back outings.
