Mitchell Parker RP | WAS
Nationals' Mitchell Parker: Pummeled in loss
Parker (8-16) suffered the loss Monday against Atlanta, coughing up six runs on 10 hits and one walk over five innings with one strikeout.
The Washington southpaw turned in his third appearance allowing double-digit hits this season while conceding six or more runs for the sixth time. Parker's tough campaign has been downright brutal since the All-Star break, as he's produced a 7.19 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 35:17 K:BB across 56.1 innings in the second half. Through 158.1 total frames, the 25-year-old now sports an unsightly 5.85 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 5.7 K/9. Parker is currently scheduled to next take the mound on the road against the Mets this weekend.

Spencer Strider SP | ATL
Braves' Spencer Strider: Breezes to sixth win
Strider (6-13) earned the win Monday at Washington, yielding one run on four hits and two walks over seven innings. He struck out six.
The Atlanta right-hander looked sharp in this 96-pitch outing, generating a solid 15 whiffs. Strider notched his first win since July 27 and pocketed his second consecutive quality start. The only blemish on his line was a solo homer conceded to Daylen Lile in the second. In 114.1 total innings, Strider has pitched to a 4.64 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 120:46 K:BB. He will look to continue his recent success in his next matchup, which currently lines up to come at Detroit this weekend.

Sosa (groin) will complete a workout Monday with the hope of returning to the starting lineup Tuesday against the Dodgers, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Sosa has remained sidelined since Friday due to groin soreness, but he's on the brink of a return. The team will have a better idea on whether he'll be back in the starting nine for Tuesday's matchup once Sosa completes his Monday workout.

Phillies' Alec Bohm: Travels with team to LA
Bohm (shoulder) traveled with the team to Los Angeles with the hope of returning after a minimum stay on the 10-day injured list, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
Bohm landed on the 10-day injured list Sept. 8 due to a cyst in his left shoulder, but it appears he's still on track for a minimum stay. If all goes according to plan during the week, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Bohm back in the lineup for Friday's matchup in Arizona.

Graham Pauley 3B | MIA
Marlins' Graham Pauley: Back at full strength
The Marlins reinstated Pauley (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Monday.
Pauley had been on the shelf since Aug. 18 due to a right oblique strain, but he's been deemed ready to rejoin the big club after he went 3-for-10 with a home run and a double over a three-game rehab assignment at Triple-A Jacksonville. He's made 48 starts at third base so far this season, but with the Marlins also bringing back Connor Norby (quadriceps) from the IL on Monday, Pauley may have to settle for limited at-bats over the final two weeks of the campaign.
