King (11-6) earned the win over Minnesota on Monday, allowing two runs on four hits and three walks while striking out six batters over six innings.

The three walks King issued were his most over his past nine starts, but he was still pretty efficient in getting through six frames on 85 pitches (53 of which were strikes). The right-hander induced 14 whiffs and finished with his fifth quality start across his past six outings. King has thrived in his first season as a full-time starter, registering a 3.18 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 167:50 K:BB over 141.1 innings. He's been a huge addition to a Padres rotation that is currently without Yu Darvish (personal) and that was without Joe Musgrove for much of the campaign.

Stone (11-5) allowed two hits and two walks while striking out 10 over seven shutout innings to earn the win Monday over the Mariners.

Stone's 10 strikeouts were a career high. He earned his second win in a row with this dominant performance, which was also the first time since his June 26 shutout against the White Sox where he didn't allowed a home run. Stone is now at a 3.44 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 105:34 K:BB through 128.1 innings over 23 starts this season. He's projected to make his next start at home versus the Rays.

Hicks allowed two hits in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Monday's 5-3 win over the White Sox.

Ryan Walker threw 35 pitches Sunday versus the Athletics and was likely unavailable for Monday's contest. This was Hicks' seventh appearance since he moved to the bullpen, and he's kept runs off the board in each of his last six outings. He has previous experience as a closer, but Hicks has added just one save and one hold since losing his place in the rotation. For the season, he's pitched to a 3.85 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 94:44 K:BB over 107.2 innings across 27 appearances (20 starts). He has given up at least one hit in each of his outings as a reliever this year, so his current success could be short-lived.

Harrison (7-5) allowed a run on five hits and two walks while striking out five over six innings to earn the win Monday over the White Sox.

This was Harrison's first quality start over four outings in August, though facing the lowly White Sox worked in his favor. The southpaw has allowed 12 runs over 19.1 innings this month. For the season, he's at a 4.00 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 108:38 K:BB over 117 innings through 22 starts. Harrison's previous high for innings in a single year was 113 in 2022, but with the Giants just hanging on in the wild-card race, it's unlikely he gets his workload managed any time soon. He's projected to make his next start on the road at light-hitting Seattle this weekend.

Pfaadt (8-6) picked up the win Tuesday against Miami, allowing four runs on nine hits and two walks across 5.1 innings. He struck out four.

Pfaadt's nine hits allowed tied his second most this season, and while he allowed four runs for a second consecutive outing, the right-hander stayed out of the loss column for a 10th straight start. On the year, Pfaadt has a 4.08 ERA and a 139:31 K:BB across 150 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Red Sox in Boston this weekend.

Peterson didn't factor into the decision Monday against Baltimore, allowing three runs (two earned) on six hits and a walk across seven innings. He struck out eight.

Peterson logged his third quality start in four appearances and kept the Orioles off the scoreboard until the fifth inning Monday. The left-hander tied his season high in strikeouts and issued fewer than three walks for the second time in seven starts. Peterson has been excellent in August, boasting a 1.85 ERA across 24.1 innings. He's on track to cap off a two-start week Saturday at San Diego.

Spiers is expected to either start or work as the bulk reliever Tuesday against the Blue Jays, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

The Reds have yet to name Spiers the starter, as Goldsmith notes there's a possibility the club uses an opener for the first inning or two before turning to the 26-year-old right-hander. Spiers worked in a bulk reliever role during his last appearance Wednesday against the Cardinals, surrendering two runs on six hits while fanning four over 2.2 frames.

Ryan (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Monday.

It's already been determined that Ryan will miss the remainder of this season and likely most if not all of 2025 while on the mend from Tommy John surgery, so this move is simply to open up a spot on the 40-man roster following the return of Max Muncy (oblique) from the 60-day IL.

Atlanta activated Lopez (forearm) from the 15-day injured list Monday.

Lopez will rejoin the rotation Tuesday with a start against the Phillies after missing the past three weeks with right forearm inflammation. He threw 71 pitches and covered four innings in one rehab outing, so Lopez could be slightly limited from a workload perspective Tuesday.

The Reds recalled Roa from Triple-A Louisville and placed him on the 60-day injured list with a right shoulder sprain.

Roa hadn't pitched at Triple-A since Aug. 2 and landed on Louisville's 7-day IL before the Reds called him up and placed him on the 60-day IL for the purpose of opening up a spot on the 40-man roster. As a result of the transaction, the 25-year-old's season officially comes to an end. He turned in a 5.55 ERA and 47:30 K:BB over 48.2 innings covering four starts and 19 relief appearances this season with Louisville.
