Sugano (12-11) took the loss Sunday, allowing one run on a hit and two walks over five innings against the Mariners. He struck out five.

Sugano was more than serviceable across five frames, especially at home at Coors Field, but a lack of offense from the Rockies saddled the right-hander with the loss. He has now lost six of his past seven starts, with his last win coming Aug. 11. With a 5.36 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 91:36 K:BB in 147.2 innings (28 starts), Sugano is tentatively scheduled to make his final start of the season Saturday against the White Sox.

Flores went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer and a double in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Royals.

Flores provided the decisive blow in Sunday's victory -- he launched a 426-foot blast off Nate Pearson in the eighth inning to put the Pirates ahead 4-3. The 25-year-old Flores has been on a tear of late, going 20-for-47 (.426) over his last 13 games. Overall, he's batting .286 with a .910 OPS, 22 RBI and 16 runs scored across 147 plate appearances this season.

Montgomery earned the save in Sunday's 4-3 win over Kansas City, allowing a hit while striking out one in a scoreless ninth inning.

Montgomery is up to 16 saves this season, as he extended his scoreless streak to 23.2 innings -- he's given up just nine hits and seven walks while striking out 34 in that span. Overall, Montgomery has a 2.59 ERA this season with a 1.03 WHIP and 99:26 K:BB across 66 innings.

Tong (2-2) took the loss Sunday against the Phillies, allowing four runs on five hits and four walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out five.

The Phillies got to Tong quickly Sunday, scoring twice in the opening inning and twice in the third. Since returning to New York's rotation earlier this month, Tong's given up nine runs (eight earned) on 13 hits while striking out 18 over three starts (15.2 innings). The right-hander lines up for one more start this season, tentatively scheduled to come on the road next weekend against the Nationals.

Sanchez (18-6) earned the win Sunday over the Mets, allowing two runs on six hits and no walks across 6.1 innings. He struck out six.

It was a nice return to form for Sanchez, who had given up 11 runs across 12.1 innings in his previous two outings. The southpaw blanked the Mets for five innings Sunday before giving up a solo home run to Bo Bichette in the sixth. Overall, Sanchez sports a 2.93 ERA with a 1.22 WHIP and a career-high 221 strikeouts across 32 starts (200 innings) this year. Sanchez is currently in line for one more regular-season start, tentatively scheduled to come next weekend at home against the Rays.

Sasaki (finger) is expected to be activated from the 15-day injured list to pitch in Tuesday's contest against San Diego, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Sasaki has been shelved since developing a blister on his right middle finger Aug. 26 against Atlanta. Manager Dave Roberts noted that the right-hander will pitch in some capacity as a part of a bullpen game in the series opener versus the Padres, but Sasaki won't be the "bulk" pitcher.

Arenado went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Sunday's 8-4 win over the Yankees.

The Yankees put up a four spot in the third inning, but Arenado's slam in the fifth canceled it out. The Diamondbacks were able to hang on from there. Over his last 13 games, Arenado has gone 18-for-46 (.391) with six homers and 13 RBI. He is now batting .247 with a .777 OPS, 27 homers, 78 RBI, 73 runs scored, 23 doubles, one triple and four stolen bases through 146 contests this season.

Burnes allowed four runs on five hits and two walks while striking out two over 2.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Yankees on Sunday.

Burnes served up three home runs during the third inning, prompting an early exit as the Diamondbacks can't afford to cede ground since they lag behind in the playoff race. Over his three starts so far, Burnes has surrendered nine runs across 10.1 innings with an 8:4 K:BB. He's now been tagged for five runs, and it's clear he's still got some more rust to shake off following his return from June 2025 Tommy John surgery. Burnes is tentatively projected to make his last start of the regular season at San Diego.

Pages (hand) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Pages will make his return to the Dodgers after missing more than a month of action while recovering from surgery to address a left hand fracture. Once activated, Pages will likely take over as the Dodgers' everyday center fielder, pushing Tommy Edman back to second base and Alex Freeland into a bench role.

Sanoja went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Padres.

Sanoja's seventh-inning blast off Walker Buehler at least made the Marlins look competitive in a game during which they had just four hits as a team. Over 18 games in September, Sanoja has gone 25-for-72 (.347) with 10 extra-base hits and 16 RBI. He's batting .291 with a .784 OPS, 10 homers, 67 RBI, 49 runs scored, 31 doubles, five triples and 11 stolen bases over 138 contests in a breakout year in 2026.
