Manager Carlos Mendoza said Tuesday that Megill will get at least one more turn through the rotation, and the right-hander tentatively lines up to pitch Sunday against the Phillies, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

The 29-year-old could also be pushed back to start Monday versus the Nationals, but regardless of the specifics, he'll receive another turn through the rotation since Paul Blackburn's (hand/back) return from the injured list has been pushed back. Megill has been a solid depth starter for the Mets this year with a 4.48 ERA and 1.32 WHIP in 13 appearances, and he's coming off one of his best starts of the campaign as he held Toronto scoreless over six frames Monday.

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Tuesday that Blackburn (hand/back) isn't feeling much better and won't be activated from the 15-day injured list to pitch against the Phillies this weekend, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

The 30-year-old was scheduled to start Monday against the Blue Jays after missing a couple weeks due to a bruised hand, but he ended up being scratched due to back discomfort. It's unclear when Blackburn will be able to return from the IL at this point, but he'll be sidelined for at least another week.

The Dodgers reinstated Yamamoto (triceps) from the 60-day injured list ahead of his start Tuesday versus the Cubs.

Yamamoto has been held out of action since June 15 due to a right tricep/shoulder injury. However, he's made two rehab starts with Triple-A Oklahoma City, during which he allowed three earned runs across four innings. He only threw 53 pitches during his latest minor-league outing, so there's a good chance his return to a big-league mound is relatively brief Tuesday. Nick Ramirez was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

The White Sox optioned Nastrini to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

The right-hander worked as a bulk reliever Monday against the Guardians and delivered his best outing of the campaign with 3.1 scoreless innings, but he'll still lose his place on the MLB roster. Nastrini hasn't been effective in his nine big-league appearances (eight starts) this season and has a 7.07 ERA, 1.91 WHIP and 26:36 K:BB in 35.2 innings.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Tuesday that Houck (arm) remains tentatively lined up to make his next start Friday against the Yankees, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

Cora also provided more specifics on what caused Houck to be pushed back, noting that the pitcher is basically going through a "dead arm" phase during which he had trouble bouncing back from his last outing. It sounds like Houck starting Friday in the Bronx isn't set in stone, so his fantasy managers should have a contingency plan in place, if possible.

The White Sox selected Burke's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

The right-hander is up with Chicago for his first taste of the big leagues after posting a 4.62 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 86:36 K:BB over 64.1 frames in Charlotte's rotation. Burke should immediately be available out of the bullpen for the White Sox, but it's possible he's given a start or two with Nick Nastrini being sent to Triple-A in a corresponding transaction.

The Athletics placed Bido on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with right wrist flexor tendinitis.

Bido had been slated to start Tuesday in Houston but instead is headed to the IL for at least the next two weeks. JP Sears will now be the starting pitcher for the Athletics on Tuesday. Bido has been a bright spot in Oakland's rotation this season, collecting a 3.41 ERA and 63:26 K:BB over 63.1 innings covering nine starts and seven relief appearances.

Ferris has a 3.09 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 21:13 K:BB in 23.1 innings over six starts since getting promoted to Double-A Tulsa on Aug. 2.

The 20-year-old southpaw was much more impressive through 20 starts for High-A Great Lakes, logging a 3.39 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 119 strikeouts in 98.1 innings. He threw 56 innings at Single-A in 2023 before getting traded from the Cubs to the Dodgers in the offseason deal that sent Michael Busch to Chicago. Ferris has built up to 121.2 innings and doesn't turn 21 until January, so this season has been a big success. He should return to Double-A next year and has the upside to keep climbing prospect rankings.

The Rockies recalled Gordon from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

Gordon has posted a 7.55 ERA over seven starts with the big club this season. The 26-year-old looks to be in line to serve in a long-relief role this time around.

Schultz has a 0.61 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 34:13 K:BB in 29.2 innings across his last eight starts for Double-A Birmingham.

Given that Schultz only allowed an earned run in two of those eight starts and didn't allow more than one earned run in any outing over that stretch, it's pretty clear that he can handle three or four innings against Double-A hitters. However, he hasn't recorded more than 12 outs in a start all year, as the White Sox have clearly capped his per-start workload in an effort to keep him healthy all season. Schultz's 70-grade slider is his bread and butter, so it's not a given that he'll have the same success as he attempts to log five or six innings in starts against better competition next season. Improving his third-pitch changeup will be the top priority for the 6-foot-9 southpaw this offseason.
