Singer (4-9) allowed four hits over seven scoreless innings Sunday, striking out six and earning a win over the White Sox.

Singer was terrific in Sunday's win, coughing up just four singles and never letting a runner reach scoring position. It was his first scoreless outing since April 18, and he picked up his first victory since June 1. Over his last four starts, the 25-year-old righty has allowed four earned runs over 24.2 innings (1.46 ERA) with a 23:9 K:BB. Singer is lined up to face the Twins on the road next weekend.

Freeland (hip) has been confirmed as the Rockies' starting pitcher for Monday's game against the Giants, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

The lefty's most recent outing Sept. 1 against the Rangers was cut short due to a left hip impingement, but after receiving an injection to address the injury, Freeland looks to be pain free heading into the upcoming week. He was able to throw a bullpen session over the weekend without any discomfort, so Freeland shouldn't face any limitations heading into what's shaping up to be a two-start week. Freeland tentatively lines up to make his second turn of the week Sept. 11 in Philadelphia.

Williams is scheduled to start Monday's game against the Nationals in Washington.

Because the Mets played five games in four days to close out the weekend, Williams will be needed to make his third start for New York and his second in less than a week. While filling a swingman role in his first four outings for the Mets, Williams has impressed, covering 13 innings in total while submitting a 0.69 ERA and 0.92 WHIP. Unless the Mets expand their rotation to six men after Monday's contest, the team won't have a starting role open for Williams, so he should be headed back to the bullpen following his outing in Washington.

Bubic is slated to start Monday's game against the Orioles, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Following his 15th start of the season Aug. 27, Bubic moved back to the bullpen this past week, making a two-inning relief appearance in Thursday's 4-2 loss to Cleveland. With Jakob Junis (shoulder) recently joining Brad Keller (lat) on the injured list and with Daniel Lynch's status uncertain due to a finger injury, Bubic will move back into Kansas City's six-man rotation as it begins a four-game set in Baltimore. Bubic tentatively lines up for a two-start week, with his second turn set to come Sept. 12 in Minnesota.

Kershaw (forearm) will make a three-inning rehab start with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Kershaw reportedly felt good after tossing a simulated game Friday, prompting the organization to set him off on a rehab assignment next week. The left-hander's subsequent step will presumably depend on how he comes out of Tuesday's minor-league start. Kershaw still has time to ramp back up as a starter, and the goal remains to have him log a few starts in September in order to have him ready for the postseason.

Detmers (COVID-19) rejoined the Angels in Anaheim on Friday, per Sam Blum of The Athletic, but it remains unclear when he will be ready to be activated, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Detmers confirmed that he recently tested positive for COVID-19 and was placed in "hard quarantine." The rookie last pitched in a big-league game Aug. 21, so it may take some time for him to ramp back up into game shape. If he can stretch out relatively quickly, Detmers could potentially reclaim his spot in the rotation upon his return.

GM Michael Girsch said Sunday that Flaherty (shoulder) is expected to begin a throwing program in the next couple days, Jim Hayes of Bally Sports Midwest reports.

Flaherty landed on the injured list Aug. 25 with a strained right shoulder, and he's been cleared to resume throwing after a brief shutdown period. The right-hander is already eligible to return from the 10-day IL, but he's likely to remain sidelined for at least a couple more weeks.

Anderson allowed four runs on five hits and four walks over three innings Saturday versus Colorado. He did not factor in the decision.

Anderson struggled with his control in the outing, throwing only 33 of 62 pitches for strikes and walking four. He was also tagged for a pair of massive home runs, marking the first time he surrendered multiple long balls in a start since May 29. The right-hander will look for better results in his next outing, which is likely to come next weekend at home against Miami.

Gomer (back) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Sunday.

Gomber was ruled out for the season Saturday after being placed on the 10-day IL with spondyloysis, a stress fracture in the bones of the lower spine, so it was only a matter of time before he moved to the 60-day IL to free up a spot on the 40-man roster. The left-hander finished his first year in Colorado with a 4.53 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 113:41 K:BB across 115.1 innings (23 starts). It's not yet clear if he'll be ready for the start of spring training in February.

Marquez allowed four runs (two earned) on five hits and a walk while striking out five in five innings in Saturday's win over Atlanta. He didn't factor into the decision.

Although two of the runs Marquez gave up Saturday were unearned, he's now allowed at least three runs in each of his last five appearances. During that time, the right-hander has put up a 7.77 ERA and 1.52 WHIP in 24.1 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to make his next start on the road against Philadelphia on Thursday.
