Rushing was diagnosed with a slight UCL tear in his right elbow Tuesday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Rushing landed on the injured list Monday with an elbow strain, and MRI results confirmed that the 25-year-old backstop suffered ligament damage. The Dodgers are still hopeful that he won't have to undergo season-ending surgery, but he'll still be shut down from all activity for at least a few weeks while he recovers. If Rushing were to play again this year, he would likely be limited to a hitting-only role. Will Smith (neck) is also set to remain on the injured list for another 3-to-4 weeks, so Ben Rortvedt and Hunter Feduccia will handle catching duties for the Dodgers going forward.

Megill recorded his 19th save Tuesday against the Pirates, retiring the side in order in a perfect ninth inning.

Megill was unsurprisingly called upon with a two-run lead in the ninth and needed just 10 pitches to retire Pittsburgh in order for his 19th save of the season. The right-hander has been dominant of late, allowing just one run across his last 20 appearances (19.1 innings) while collecting 21 strikeouts, 11 saves and one hold during that span. On the season, Megill owns a 2.76 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 50:11 K:BB across 42.1 innings.

Jones (2-3) took the loss Tuesday against the Brewers, allowing three runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out four over four innings.

Jones was tagged for a solo homer by Jackson Chourio in the third inning before Andrew Vaughn led off the fourth with a solo shot of his own as part of a two-run frame. The right-hander matched his season-high pitch count of 83 but was only able to complete four innings. He has now taken a loss in consecutive starts. After missing all of 2025 while recovering from Tommy John surgery, Jones owns a 4.02 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 62:16 K:BB across 56 innings in his comeback campaign. He's slated to face the Mets at home Sunday in his next start.

Henderson (6-1) earned the win Tuesday against the Pirates, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk while striking out eight over six innings.

Henderson surrendered a solo homer to Jacob Gonzalez on the first pitch of the third inning before Endy Rodriguez led off the fifth with another solo shot. Aside from those two mistakes, the right-hander was in control and capped his outing by striking out the side in order on 13 pitches in the sixth. Henderson has now won six of his last seven major-league starts while posting a 2.19 ERA during that stretch. Through 10 total starts, he owns a 2.70 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and an impressive 11.2 K/9 across 50 innings. His next start is scheduled for Monday against the Padres.

Bogaerts was removed from Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks with an apparent foot injury, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Bogaerts fouled a ball off his foot during his plate appearance in the seventh inning. He was initially able to remain in the game but was lifted for a pinch runner after drawing a walk. He'll likely be sent in for imaging to determine whether he suffered a fracture, and the Padres may have more information on his status after the game.

Manager Pat Murphy said Tuesday that Bauers' abdominal soreness could keep him out during Wednesday's game against the Pirates, Jack Stern of BrewerFanatic.com reports.

Murphy noted that Bauers suffered the injury while diving into home during Monday's contest. The team doesn't believe the issue is serious enough to warrant imaging, but he may still miss a second straight game Wednesday as a precaution. As long as Bauers is out, Andrew Vaughn will get opportunities to start at first base, and Luis Lara will continue to see consistent time in the outfield.

Dobbins (2-2) took the loss against the Yankees on Tuesday, allowing two runs on four hits and three walks while striking out four across 6.1 innings.

Dobbins was called up from Triple-A Memphis on Monday as the Cardinals opted to expand their rotation to six starters, even after trading Dustin May to the Brewers. Dobbins pitched well Tuesday, with his two blemishes coming on solo home runs from Jazz Chisholm and George Lombard in the second and fifth innings, respectively. Unfortunately for Dobbins, he did not receive any run support from his Cardinals teammates in a 2-0 loss. Assuming he stays in St. Louis' rotation, his next start would be lined up for next week at home against the Phillies.

Holmes (7-4) earned the win Tuesday against the Marlins, allowing five hits and one walk while striking out five over six scoreless innings.

Holmes struck out the side in the first inning and never looked back, throwing 47 of his 72 pitches for strikes while never facing more than four batters in any inning. The six-inning outing was his first since June 3 and helped him earn his third win over his last four starts. Through 108 innings this season, Holmes owns a 3.67 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 92:46 K:BB. He's scheduled to make his next start Sunday against the Yankees.

Torrens went 3-for-3 with a walk, a three-run home run and an RBI single during the Mets' 6-2 win over the Guardians on Tuesday.

Torrens got the Mets on the board with a three-run homer off Joey Cantillo in the second inning, though that long ball would not have happened had it not been for a throwing error by Guardians shortstop Gabriel Arias to keep the inning alive. Torrens added another run in the fourth, and his four RBI were a season high and most in a game since Aug. 25, 2025 against the Phillies (five). He has gone 8-for-26 (.308) with six RBI and three extra-base hits since the All-Star break.

Gusto (0-3) took the loss Tuesday against Atlanta, allowing one run on five hits while striking out five over six innings.

Gusto's only mistake came on the first pitch of the second inning, when Ozzie Albies launched a solo homer. Miami's offense provided little support, failing to score until it was too late in the ninth inning. The six-inning effort marked the longest outing of his season. It was a bounce-back performance for the right-hander, who in his previous start against the Phillies surrendered six runs. Gusto owns a 4.80 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 39:13 K:BB across 45 innings this season and will look for his first win of 2026 in his next scheduled start Sunday against the Angels.
