Morton took a no-decision Monday against the Mets, allowing six runs on five hits and four walks in 3.2 innings. He struck out three.

It was Morton's shortest outing since June 7 against the Athletics, and it also was the third time he's surrendered at least five runs in his last five starts. The four walks fell one short of a season worst, and the veteran right-hander has issued multiple free passes in four straight appearances. Morton owns a 5.81 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 39:14 K:BB over 31 frames since joining the Tigers, which makes him difficult to trust in his next scheduled start against a hard-hitting Yankees lineup.

Manaea took a no-decision Monday against the Tigers, allowing five runs on eight hits and one walk in 3.2 innings. He struck out six.

After opening his season with a 2.08 ERA through his first four starts, Manaea simply hasn't been able to get himself back on track. The veteran southpaw has yielded at least four runs in five of his last six outings, and he's still yet to pitch at least six frames in any appearance so far in 2025. Although Manaea owns a strong 59:9 K:BB over 45 innings, his 5.60 ERA makes him a risky fantasy starter for his next scheduled start against the first-place Phillies.

Cruz underwent internal brace surgery last week to repair a torn UCL in his right elbow, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Though Cruz's procedure typically entails a shorter recovery timeline than Tommy John surgery, the Padres are likely to proceed cautiously with the 18-year-old's rehab program, which could extend through the end of the 2026 season. Signed out of Mexico for $750,000 in February 2024, Cruz made his full-season debut earlier this summer after being assigned to Lake Elsinore on July 1. Before landing on the 7-day injured list Aug. 19, Cruz made six starts for Lake Elsinore and logged a 6.97 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 20:9 K:BB in 20.2 innings.

Roupp (knee) isn't expected to return from the 15-day injured list this season, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Roupp is working his way back from a deep bone bruise in his left knee, and the Giants aren't keen on rushing him along in the recovery process. The right-hander should have a relatively normal offseason and come to spring training with a leg up on a rotation spot for 2026. Roupp collected a 3.80 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 102:45 K:BB over 106.2 innings covering 22 starts in 2025.

Whisenhunt isn't expected to miss extended time due to the back strain that landed him on the 15-day injured list Sunday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Whisenhunt is eligible for activation Sept. 12, and he could have a good shot at returning on that date or close to it. The rookie left-hander holds a 5.01 ERA and uninspiring 16:12 K:BB over 23.1 frames covering five starts with the Giants this season.

The Marlins promoted White from Double-A Pensacola to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.

White earned the promotion following a dominant stint at Pensacola, where he held a 1.59 ERA and 75:24 K:BB over 45.1 innings covering 10 starts. Between Pensacola and High-A Beloit this season, the southpaw has collected a 2.13 ERA and 128:41 K:BB across 80.1 frames. White won't turn 21 years old until later this month and probably won't be under consideration for a major-league promotion until 2026, but he's established himself as one of the better pitching prospects in baseball.

Junk (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment Tuesday, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.

Junk landed on the 15-day injured list last week due to right ulnar nerve irritation, but it's a good sign that he's already been cleared to pitch in a game. The right-hander is eligible for activation Sept. 8 and has a good shot to return on that date or soon after if all goes well in Tuesday's outing.

The Yankees activated Yarbrough (oblique) from the 15-day injured list Monday.

Yarbrough had been on the shelf since June 22 due to a strained right oblique, but he's been cleared to rejoin the Yankees after delivering a 4.09 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 12:1 K:BB in 11 innings over three rehab appearances with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The southpaw had been working out of the rotation prior to being shelved, but with rookie Cam Schlittler excelling of late as the Yankees' fifth starter, manager Aaron Boone confirmed last week that Yarbrough will work out of the bullpen upon his return.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider said that Lauer will shift to the bullpen for the remainder of the season, as the team transitions back to a five-man rotation, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Lauer has generally been dependable as a back-end starter for the Blue Jays, but he was knocked around over his four appearances (three starts) in August, allowing 13 runs (11 earned) on 27 hits and six home runs over 18.2 innings. With Shane Bieber looking strong thus far since completing his recovery from Tommy John surgery and returning from the injured list, the Blue Jays were comfortable proceeding with five starters. Lauer will likely operate as a multi-inning option out of the bullpen, and if he performs well down the stretch, he could secure a spot on the Blue Jays' postseason roster.

Gore (shoulder) intends to pitch again this season, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.

The left-hander landed on the injured list Saturday with what the Nationals described as shoulder inflammation, but the issue doesn't appear to be serious. "It's something, the way it felt last start, where we needed to get an MRI," Gore said Saturday. "Nothing crazy showed up with significant injury. I didn't want to go on the IL, but we kind of needed to. I plan on being back as soon as I can, but we just need to clean up a few things in there and should be alright." With Washington having nothing to play for this season however, it wouldn't be a big surprise if Gore was shut down out of caution should he have any sort of hiccup once he begins throwing again. Over 27 starts and 147.1 innings this year, the 26-year-old has a 4.15 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 173:55 K:BB.
