The Royals placed Singer on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with right upper arm inflammation, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Kansas City has little on the line with five games left in the season, so it makes sense for the club to shut down Singer, who exited his outing Tuesday against Cleveland with the injury. Follow-up scans cleared Singer of any structural damage to his arm, so he'll seemingly be in store for a normal offseason once the soreness and discomfort subsides. He'll conclude his second big-league campaign with a 5-10 record, 4.91 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 131:53 K:BB in 128.1 innings over 27 starts.

Rogers gave up a run on three hits and no walks while striking out six over five innings Tuesday in the Marlins' 2-1 loss to the Mets in the second game of a doubleheader. He didn't factor into the decision.

The All-Star rookie has gone winless over his 12 starts dating back to June 10, but it's largely been a byproduct of poor run support rather than his own undoing. Rogers has delivered a 3.61 ERA and 1.29 WHIP over that 12-start stretch, and those strong ratios are actually a stark downturn from his season-long marks (2.64 and 1.15, respectively). The Marlins haven't indicated that Tuesday's outing was Rogers' last of 2021, so he'll presumably be on track to start the team's season finale Sunday versus the Phillies in Miami.

Ryan (personal) was activated from the bereavement list Wednesday, Brandon Warne of Access Twins reports.

Ryan will make his final start of the season during Thursday's series finale against Detroit, and he'll rejoin the active roster after spending just under a week away from the team. The right-hander has recorded a 2.45 ERA and 0.59 WHIP in 22 innings across his first four major-league starts.

Corbin won't pitch again this season due to a blister on his finger, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Corbin finished the 2021 campaign with a pair of quality starts, but manager Dave Martinez revealed Wednesday that the left-hander has been dealing with a blister. As a result, he'll be held out for the remainder of the year rather than pitching during the final series of the season. The 32-year-old made 31 starts in 2021 and posted a career-worst 5.82 ERA with a 143:60 K:BB and 1.47 WHIP in 171.2 innings.

Stroman improved to 10-13 after tossing five innings and giving up two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out four Tuesday in the Mets' 5-2 win in the first game of a doubleheader with the Marlins.

Making his MLB-leading 33rd start of the season, Stroman cruised through the first three frames before enduring some turbulence in the top of the fourth. After following up a leadoff walk by allowing a home run to Lewin Diaz, Stroman retired three of the next four batters to limit the damage that inning. The New York bullpen then held down the fort for the final two frames of the seven-inning game, after Stroman departed with a 3-2 lead. Manager Luis Rojas hasn't indicated that Stroman will be shut down following Tuesday's outing, so the right-hander could make one last start in the Mets' season finale Sunday in Atlanta.

Williams tossed four innings in relief Tuesday in the Mets' 2-1 win over the Marlins in the second game of a doubleheader. He gave up a run on five hits and no walks while striking out six.

With starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard (elbow) limited to one inning in his return from the 60-day injured list, Williams was needed to work in bulk relief behind him. Williams looked good during his time on the mound, with his six strikeouts marking his highest total since July 25. After tossing 70 pitches Tuesday, Williams likely won't be available out of the bullpen again until Sunday's season finale in Atlanta.

Syndergaard (elbow) struck out two over a perfect inning in his start Tuesday in the Mets' 2-1 win over the Marlins in the second game of a doubleheader.

Making his first appearance for the Mets since September 2019 following a lengthy recovery from Tommy John surgery, Syndergaard was capped at 10 pitches after he didn't have sufficient time to build up for a traditional starting role during his minor-league rehab assignment. Syndergaard at least looked sharp in his brief stint on the mound, pumping in nine pitches for strikes and touching 96 miles per hour with his fastball. The Mets could have Syndergaard make another cameo in Sunday's season finale in Atlanta before he becomes an unrestricted free agent this winter.

Greinke (neck) is scheduled to make a rehab appearance for Triple-A Sugar Land on Thursday, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

The upcoming appearance in the minors effectively rules Greinke out from starting in any of the Astros' final five games of the regular season, but provided his injured neck responds fine to Thursday's outing, he looks like he'll be good to go for the playoffs. The bigger question is what kind of role Greinke will fill for Houston during its upcoming postseason run. Per Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle, manager Dusty Baker said Tuesday that it's a "distinct possibility" Greinke works out of the bullpen in October, as Houston already has a number of starters available who have been outperforming the veteran righty of late. Over his final three starts before landing on the shelf, Greinke was blasted for 19 runs (18 earned) on 19 hits -- including five home runs -- and six walks while recording only eight strikeouts in 13 frames.

Gil is working out of the bullpen at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in case he is needed in that role this week or in the postseason at the big-league level, Conor Foley of The Scranton Times-Tribune reports.

New York's top pitching prospect wasn't going to crack a potential postseason rotation, but he could be of service in relief if he can have success in that role at Triple-A. Through two relief appearances at Triple-A, Gil has one dominant outing where he struck out six in two scoreless innings and one outing where he gave up two runs and only got one out, so the results are mixed. He will be in competition for a starting spot with the big club in spring training.

Urquidy did not factor in the decision against Tampa Bay on Tuesday, pitching five innings and allowing two runs on four hits and one walk while striking out six.

Urquidy was stung by a first-inning two-run home run off the bat of Yandy Diaz, but the right-hander didn't give up any additional runs in the start. He was outdueled by Michael Wacha, who did not allow a hit in his five frames, but Urquidy was ultimately taken off the hook when Houston came alive in the second half of the contest. Urquidy has pitched relatively well in September, posting a 4.18 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 21:5 K:BB across 23.2 innings. His next appearance could come in the postseason, though it's unclear if he'll be used as a starter or a reliever.
