McClanahan took a no-decision against the Orioles on Monday, allowing three runs on four hits and no walks in 3.1 innings. He struck out three.

Making his return from the injured list, McClanahan showed signs of rust on the major-league mound following a one-start rehab assignment with Triple-A Durham. The Rays appeared to have a strict workload limit in place for the left-hander, who threw only 57 pitches (35 strikes), but he should see those restrictions loosen as he becomes further removed from his bout of left mid-back tightness. McClanahan is set to take a 3.25 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 94:35 K:BB over 102.1 innings into a road rematch with Baltimore.

The Yankees placed Fried on the 15-day injured list Monday due to a left elbow bone bruise.

Fried last pitched Thursday, when he gave up one run on five hits and two walks while striking out four over five innings in a loss to Seattle. He had been scheduled to take the hill Wednesday in Baltimore, but the elbow issue might have cropped up during his between-starts bullpen session. The Yankees haven't provided a timeline for Fried's return, but he'll miss at least a couple of turns through the rotation before he's eligible for activation Aug. 29. Given that he was forced to the shelf earlier in the season with a similar injury and missed more than two months, Fried seems likely to be out beyond the minimum 15 days.

Harrison saw his season ERA drop from 3.47 to 2.99 on Monday, after a scoring change from his Aug. 11 start in San Diego resulted in five earned runs coming off his ledger.

In the second inning of the game, Harrison allowed a pair of base hits to open the frame before inducing a weak grounder to third off the bat of Padres catcher Luis Campusano. David Hamilton stepped on third base to record the first out, but Ji Hwan Bae was unable to corral the throw to second base to complete a double play. The Padres went on to score five runs that inning, but all of those will go down as unearned runs for Harrison after the Major League Baseball retroactively charged Bae with an error, negating the previous ruling of a fielder's choice.

Pecko is expected to be called up by the Astros and start in his major-league debut against the Angels on Wednesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Pecko was scratched from his scheduled start with Triple-A Sugar Land on Sunday, and it appears the 23-year-old right-hander will get the call to make his first major-league start Wednesday. Pecko briefly saw some time on the 7-day IL earlier in the season due to thoracic outlet syndrome, but he has spent the majority of 2026 in Triple-A, where he has a 4-6 record across 17 games (15 starts) with a 4.94 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 71:28 K:BB over 74.2 innings. He figures to get a few turns in the Astros rotation, at least until Mike Burrows (elbow) is cleared to return from the 15-day IL.

Moniak is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Dodgers.

The Rockies will give the left-handed-hitting Moniak a night off while southpaw Blake Snell toes the rubber for the Dodgers. Moniak had started in each of the Rockies' last seven games, going 3-for-24 (.125 average) with five RBI and one run during that stretch.

The Diamondbacks placed Marte on the restricted list Monday.

The team has yet to provide an explanation behind the transaction, nor is it clear how long Marte might be away from the Diamondbacks. Ildemaro Vargas will draw the start at second base in Monday's series opener in Boston in Marte's stead.

Fernandez was recalled from Triple-A Reno ahead of Monday's game against the Red Sox.

Fernandez will take the roster spot of Ketel Marte, who was placed on the restricted list prior to first pitch. Fernandez is penciled into the starting nine at the hot corner and will bat seventh against Boston on Monday, though he's also seen playing time at first base (17 games), shortstop (five games) and as the designated hitter (19 games) so far this season with Arizona.

Arenado (chest) is not in the Diamondbacks' starting lineup against the Red Sox on Monday.

Manager Torey Lovullo said that an MRI showed a "small signal" in Arenado's left intercostal, per Jody Jackson of DBacks.tv. However, Arenado will be available off the bench Monday, and the expecation is that he will avoid the injured list. Jose Fernandez -- who was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Monday after Ketel Marte (not injury related) was placed on the restricted list -- will start at third base and bat seventh.

Benintendi is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs.

Benintendi will head to the bench along with fellow left-handed hitters Colson Montgomery and Tristan Peters while southpaw Shota Imanaga takes the hill for the Cubs. Randal Grichuk will fill in for Benintendi at designated hitter and will bat cleanup.

Peters is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs.

Peters will head to the bench along with fellow left-handed hitters Colson Montgomery and Andrew Benintendi while southpaw Shota Imanaga takes the hill for the Cubs. Brenton Doyle will spell Peters in center field and will bat sixth.
