Cabrera (head) is slated to start Sunday's game against the Phillies in Miami.

Cabrera had initially been in line to start Friday versus Philadelphia, but he was scratched approximately 70 minutes before the opening pitch after reporting migraine-like symptoms. The Marlins instead opted for an impromptu bullpen day while Cabrera was briefly hospitalized due to the issue but quickly released. After rejoining the Marlins on Saturday, Cabrera is apparently feeling much better and will now end up taking the hill for the series finale as a replacement for Max Meyer, who was placed on the injured list with shoulder bursitis.

Lodolo (finger) will meet with a doctor Monday and then join teammates in St. Louis the following day, MLB.com reports.

Cincinnati manager David Bell said Saturday that if Lodolo can bend his finger "all the way," then the left-hander will start a throwing program. Lodolo has spent four different stints on the injured list in 2024 with four different injuries.

Greene (elbow) will throw a live batting-practice session Tuesday, then another one five days later, MLB.com reports.

Greene is expected to throw two innings in each session. The next step after that is to pitch in a major-league game during the Reds' homestand, which runs from Sept. 17-22. Cincinnati manager David Bell stressed Saturday that Greene will not be built up to throw seven innings.

Crochet (6-11) allowed four runs on five hits and a walk while striking out three over two innings to take the loss versus the Red Sox on Saturday.

Crochet's workload continues to drop as part of the White Sox's plan to trim his innings. He wasn't particularly good in this game either -- he needed 51 pitches to get through two frames, laboring through a four-run first inning by Boston. While he's maintained a 3.83 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 191:32 K:BB over 134 innings across 29 starts this season, his current workload all but guarantees he won't pitch deep enough to be eligible for wins unless he's ultra efficient. His next start is projected to be at home versus the Athletics, but Crochet has limited fantasy utility over the remainder of 2024.

Anderson allowed two runs (one earned) on one hit and two walks while striking out seven batters over five innings in a no-decision against Texas on Saturday.

Anderson wasn't very efficient in the outing, needing 92 pitches to get through five frames and throwing just 58 of those offerings for strikes. However, he managed to carry a no-hitter into the fifth inning and allowed just four baserunners overall (on two walks, a double and a fielding error). Anderson also racked up an impressive 17 whiffs en route to seven punchouts. The left-hander has recorded a 3.50 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 132:67 K:BB through 167.1 innings on the season.

Leiter allowed three runs on two hits and two walks while striking out six batters over five innings in a no-decision against the Angels on Saturday.

Leiter had a rough first inning, serving up a leadoff homer to Taylor Ward and allowing an additional run in the frame. However, he bounced back from there, keeping Los Angeles scoreless while allowing just one hit over his remaining four innings. Leiter retired 11 of the final 13 batters he faced and racked up an impressive 20 swinging strikes overall -- per Jared Sandler of 105.3 The FAN, that's the most whiffs ever in a single game by a Rangers pitcher age 25 or younger. The rookie right-hander has yet to earn his first major-league win and owns a 10.41 ERA through six starts, but he's shown improvement over his last two outings.

Criswell (6-4) allowed two runs on six hits and two walks while failing to record a strikeout over five innings, earning the win Saturday over the White Sox.

Criswell continues to operate on a short leash -- this was the first time in four starts since he rejoined the Boston rotation where he pitched deep enough to qualify for the win. He's allowed multiple runs in just three of his 10 outings since the All-Star break, though five of those were relief appearances. For the year, Criswell has a 4.11 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 66:27 K:BB through 92 innings over 23 outings (17 starts). He's tentatively projected to make his next start on the road versus the Yankees.

Keller allowed two runs on seven hits and no walks while striking out eight batters over six innings in a no-decision against Washington in the nightcap of Saturday's doubleheader.

Keller had been struggling coming into Saturday, losing four of his previous five starts and posting a 7.46 ERA and 1.66 WHIP while serving up seven homers over 25.1 innings during that span. The right-hander turned things around with an effective outing against the Nationals, notching just his second quality start across his past seven appearances and keeping the ball in the park in addition to racking up eight punchouts. Keller departed with a 4-2 lead, but Pittsburgh's bullpen gave up six runs over the final three innings to stick him with a no-decision. Keller has just one victory over 10 starts since the All-Star break, though he's posted a strong 51:15 K:BB in 52.1 innings during that stretch.

Parker allowed four runs on six hits and four walks while striking out five batters over 3.1 innings in a no-decision in Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader with Pittsburgh.

Parker fell behind quickly in the contest, allowing a pair of runs in the first inning and another in the second. He was able to get through a scoreless third but was pulled in the fourth after allowing the first two batters he faced to reach base (he was credited with one out when Alika Williams was thrown out trying to score on a double). Overall, Parker threw just 46 of 78 pitches for strikes and tied a season high with four free passes. This marks the third time across his past five starts that he's failed to complete more than four frames.

Gibson allowed three hits and three walks while striking out nine over 6.2 shutout innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Saturday.

Gibson dueled with Logan Gilbert, throwing 112 pitches (63 strikes) in his first scoreless outing since June 14. It's an encouraging effort for Gibson, who struggled to a 5.77 ERA over 34.1 innings in August. The veteran starter has a 4.20 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 143:59 K:BB through 154.1 innings over 27 starts this season. His next outing is projected to be a road start at Toronto. Gibson should get a little extra rest down the stretch with the Cardinals expected to go to a six-man rotation starting next week when Lance Lynn (knee) comes off the injured list.
