Bradish allowed two runs on five hits over five innings during Friday's win over the Reds. He struck out seven without walking a batter and did not factor in the decision.

Bradish coughed up a two-run shot to Joey Votto in the first inning but finished his outing with four straight scoreless frames. It was his first start after being activated from the injured list. The rookie right-hander lowered his season ERA to 7.01 through 51.1 frames, and he's given up a home run in 10 of his 11 career appearances. Bradish is projected to start on the road against the Rangers next week.

Stoudt was traded from the Mariners to the Reds along with Noelvi Marte, Edwin Arroyo and Andrew Moore in exchange for Luis Castillo on Friday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Stoudt was seen as one of the Mariners' top 10 or 15 prospects coming into the year, but he has struggled quite a bit at Double-A, logging a 5.28 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 82 strikeouts in 87 innings. The 24-year-old righty could develop into a back-end starter or a swingman.

Castillo was traded from the Reds to the Mariners on Friday in exchange for four minor leaguers including Noelvi Marte, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Castillo has been one of the game's best pitchers over the past couple months, logging a 2.38 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 72 strikeouts in 64.1 innings over his last 10 starts. He gets a massive upgrade in team context, given the change in ballpark, defense and run support. He most recently pitched Thursday, so he could slot into Seattle's rotation early next week in the Bronx. Castillo is under club control through the 2023 season.

Manoah left Friday's game against the Tigers with a right elbow contusion.

Precautionary X-rays came back negative, and the Jays have Monday off, so Manoah could get a week to rest up before taking the ball again. He was hit in the right elbow by a comebacker off the bat of Jonathan Schoop and exited after giving up four runs in 5.1 innings.

Manoah was hit on the right elbow by a comebacker off the bat of Jonathan Schoop and exited Friday's game after 5.1 innings with the trainer, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

McCosky says Manoah was in considerable pain as he exited the game. The big righty gave up four runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out four in 5.1 innings. He will presumably have tests done on his arm to determine the exact injury.

Peralta (lat) gave up one run on three hits and zero walks while striking out five and touching 96 mph with his fastball Friday for Triple-A Nashville, Sounds announcer Jeff Hem reports.

He built up to 52 pitches, leaving with a runner at third who came around to score. Peralta threw two innings and struck out three his last time out, so he is trending in the right direction. It's unclear how many more rehab starts he will require before rejoining the Brewers' rotation.

Musgrove agreed to a five-year, $100 million contract extension with the Padres on Friday, Annie Heilbrunn of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

The 29-year-old righty was about to become a free agent after this season, and now he will be sticking around through what will likely be the rest of his prime years. Musgrove has a career-low 2.63 ERA and career-best 0.99 WHIP in 109.1 innings. He also has a chance to top his career high of 11 wins. (He's currently sitting with eight.)

An MRI on Gore's elbow revealed no structural damage and the expectation is that he will be shut down for two weeks before beginning a throwing program, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Cassavell says the Padres are very encouraged by the MRI results. There may not be enough time for Gore to ramp all the way back up and rejoin the big club this season, but that hasn't been ruled out. The main takeaway is that Gore will not be headed for surgery, at least not yet.

McCullers (forearm) is scheduled to make his next rehab start Tuesday with Triple-A Sugar Land, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

McCullers threw 52 pitches over three innings during his last rehab outing, and he'll continue building up his workload Tuesday. The 28-year-old is expected to make another rehab appearance the following Sunday if all goes well, which could be his final outing before being inserted into Houston's rotation.

Flaherty (shoulder) recently threw a light side session, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Flaherty has been on the injured list since late June with a right shoulder strain and isn't eligible to return until late August after he was transferred to the 60-day IL. However, the Cardinals hope that the right-hander will be able to rejoin the team soon to continue his rehab process with the major-league training staff.
