Manaea didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against the Blue Jays, allowing one run on three hits and four walks over 6.2 innings. He struck out eight.

Manaea's now gone at least 6.2 innings in six straight starts, posting a 3.07 ERA in that span (41 innings). The left-hander is 11-5 on the season with a 3.35 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 171 strikeouts (23 shy of a career high) across 164 innings. Manaea's currently lined up to face the Nationals at home next week in his next outing.

Manager Torey Lovullo said Kelly was lifted from Wednesday's start due to right hamstring cramping, but the right-hander is expected to make his next turn through the rotation, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

Kelly allowed three earned runs over four innings before being lifted from Wednesday's contest, but he doesn't appear to be dealing with a serious injury. The 35-year-old's next turn through the rotation tentatively lines up for Monday in Colorado, and he should be expected to take the mound then unless the hamstring issue lingers.

The Padres placed Perez on the paternity list Wednesday.

Perez is allowed to be away from the team for up to three games, and the Padres will push back his next scheduled start from Friday to Sunday while he spends time with his family, per Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune. While Perez is away, Tom Cosgrove will come up from Triple-A to give San Diego additional bullpen help.

Single-A Palm Beach placed Showalter on its 7-day injured list Aug. 16 with an unspecified injury.

Showalter, 20, posted a 2.62 ERA and 1.26 WHIP with 59 strikeouts over 34.1 innings before being shut down with the injury. The Cardinals appear committed to developing him as a reliever, as he had made each of his 24 appearances out of the bullpen this season.

Paxton (calf) said Wednesday that he plans to retire after the season, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.

Paxton is currently on the 60-day injured list due to a tear in his right calf and won't be able to pitch again during the regular season, though he could be able to return for the postseason if the Red Sox are able to secure a wild-card spot. Either way, 2024 will mark the 35-year-old's final season in professional baseball, putting an end to his 11-year career. He'll finish with a career 3.77 ERA and 1.25 WHIP alongside 1,005 strikeouts through 951 innings.

Kelly was removed from Wednesday's start against the Rangers in the fifth inning with an undisclosed injury, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

The Diamondbacks should provide an update on Kelly's condition after the game, but he has dealt with cramping multiple times in the past and was seen shaking his leg during a visit from the trainer. Kelly struck out three and was charged with two runs over four-plus innings before being removed.

The Athletics placed Stripling on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a lower-back strain.

Stripling was roughed up for 10 runs over his last two relief appearances but might have been pitching compromised. He will be eligible to return during the last week of the season, but it's not clear whether he will make it back.

Falter (8-7) earned the win Wednesday over Miami, allowing two hits and three walks over 7.1 scoreless innings. He struck out five.

Falter was excellent, holding the Marlins to just a pair of singles. The scoreless effort marked Falter's first quality start since June 18 -- he hadn't gone more than 5.2 innings in any of his previous 10 outings, posting a 5.79 ERA in that span. The left-hander's ERA now sits at 4.20 on the season with a 1.27 WHIP and 89:39 K:BB across 128.2 innings. Falter's currently lined up for a road matchup with the Cardinals in his next outing.

The Cardinals activated Lynn (knee) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

Lynn will rejoin the rotation Wednesday versus the Reds after missing the last six weeks of action with right knee inflammation. He made one rehab start, allowing five runs over 3.2 innings while throwing 80 pitches for Triple-A Memphis on Sept. 1. The last couple spots in the St. Louis rotation are in flux, so Lynn likely will need to pitch well in order to continue being given additional starts down the stretch.

White Sox interim manager Grady Sizemore said Wednesday that Burke is "in line" to get a start the next time the club has an opening in the rotation, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

Burke pitched well out of the bullpen in his major-league debut Tuesday versus the Guardians, yielding one unearned run with three strikeouts over three innings. The 24-year-old has made 16 starts this season with Triple-A Charlotte, collecting a 4.62 ERA and 86:36 K:BB across 64.1 innings. Burke looks to be on track to start either Sunday at home against the Athletics or Monday on the road versus the Angels.
