The Marlins plan to reinstate Garrett (oblique) from the 15-day injured list to have him start the second game of Monday's doubleheader with the Rangers.

The 25-year-old southpaw initially appeared to be at risk of missing the remainder of the season when he was placed on the IL on Aug. 20 with a right oblique strain, but he ended up making swifter progress in his recovery than expected and will be back with the Marlins with more than three weeks to spare. Garrett was sharp during his lone rehab start last week with Triple-A Jacksonville, covering 3.1 innings while striking out three and allowing one earned run on one hit and no walks. He tossed only 46 pitches in that outing, so the Marlins will presumably look to keep him in the 60-to-75 range as he steps back into the rotation Monday. After the doubleheader, it's unclear if the Marlins intend to keep Garrett around with the big club as part of a six-man rotation or as a reliever. Miami could also option him back to Triple-A following the outing.

Miley didn't factor into the decision during Sunday's 4-2 loss to San Francisco, allowing one run on four hits and one walk with five strikeouts in five innings.

Miley was able to avoid trouble aside from in the fourth inning, when he allowed his lone run following a leadoff double. The 35-year-old fired 48 of 75 pitches for strikes with eight of the swinging variety and has allowed three earned runs in nine innings across two starts since missing nearly three months with a shoulder injury. Miley carries a 2.89 ERA and 1.14 WHIP into his next start, slated to come next weekend against Colorado.

Nola yielded two hits over two scoreless innings against Washington on Sunday. He struck out two and did not factor in the decision.

Nola threw 44 pitches before the game went into a lengthy rain delay that ended his outing. The 29-year-old righty lowered his ERA to 3.31 with a stellar 202:24 K:BB through 179.1 frames. He's given up fewer than two runs in six of his last eight starts but was tagged with 13 runs in the other two. Nola is projected to start in Atlanta next weekend.

Musgrove (9-7) took the loss during Sunday's 11-2 defeat at the hands of the Dodgers, allowing four runs on six hits and one walk with five strikeouts in 5.1 innings.

Musgrove cruised through four scoreless frames but encountered trouble thereafter, surrendering a pair of solo homers in the fifth inning and permitting four baserunners and two runs in the sixth before departing. The 29-year-old fired 57 of 77 pitches for strikes, with a healthy 11 of the swinging variety, but has struggled through two September starts, allowing nine runs and 18 baserunners across 9.2 innings. Musgrove carries a 3.28 ERA and 1.09 WHIP into his next start, scheduled to come next weekend in Arizona.

Bradish (3-6) allowed one run on two hits and two walks over seven innings Sunday, striking out three and taking a loss against Boston.

After coughing up an RBI sacrifice fly to Xander Bogaerts in the first inning, Bradish turned in six scoreless innings. Unfortunately for him, the Orioles were shut out in the 1-0 loss. Bradish has given up three or fewer runs in nine consecutive starts, posting a 2.84 ERA during that stretch. He's lowered his season ERA to 5.01 with a 90:36 K:BB across 97 innings. Bradish is lined up to start in Toronto next weekend.

Heaney (3-2) earned the win during Sunday's 11-2 victory over San Diego, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits and two walks with six strikeouts in five innings.

Heaney fell behind early, surrendering a Jake Cronenworth solo home run in the second inning and an unearned run following an error in the third, but Los Angeles rallied with 11 unanswered runs to put him in line for the victory. The 31-year-old held the opposition under two earned runs for the first time in six turns, though he matched a season high by issuing three free passes. Heaney carries a 2.84 ERA and 1.07 WHIP into his next start, projected to come next weekend in San Francisco.

Sanchez was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Sanchez pitched out of the bullpen over his last three appearances, and he gave up four runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out two in three innings during Sunday's win over the Nationals. The southpaw will head back to the minors since Zach Eflin (kneecap) is expected to return to action Tuesday.

Odorizzi registered a no-decision during Sunday's 8-7 loss to Seattle, allowing four runs on five hits and three walks with three strikeouts in 3.2 innings.

Making his return from an arm injury, Odorizzi served up a leadoff Julio Rodriguez long ball but kept Seattle's offense under control otherwise until he was chased in the fourth inning following four baserunners and three runs. The poor outing was the 32-year-old's second with Atlanta, though he's held the opposition to no more than two runs in his other four turns. He's pitched to a 4.96 ERA and 1.55 WHIP in 29 innings with Atlanta and is scheduled to take the mound again next weekend against Philadelphia.

Singer (8-4) earned the victory Sunday over Detroit, striking out six in seven scoreless innings while allowing four hits and a walk.

Three of the five baserunners Singer allowed reached in the first two innings, but he settled down and scattered two hits over his final five frames, retiring 10 straight at one point. It was the seventh time in his last 11 starts that he allowed one or fewer runs and pitched at least six innings. During that span, he's gone 5-1 and compiled a 2.21 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 68:18 K:BB in 69 innings. His next start will likely be next weekend in Boston.

Hill (7-6) allowed two hits and three walks over five scoreless innings Sunday, striking out seven and earning a win over Baltimore.

Hill let just one Oriole reach scoring position during his dominant victory. Since his last win Aug. 27, the veteran southpaw had been tagged for nine runs over eight frames in two appearances. However, with the standout performance Sunday, he lowered his ERA to 4.56 alongside an 86:33 K:BB across 22 starts this season. Hill is expected to face the Royals at home next week.
