Giants manager Tony Vitello said Sunday that the Giants will have a conversation about whether to shut Webb down for the remainder of the campaign, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Webb had another rough outing Sunday, allowing six runs on eight hits over five innings in a loss to the Padres to fall to 8-8 on the campaign. The veteran hurler has posted a 9.86 ERA over his past five starts and may be wearing down, as Pavlovic notes Webb's season started early because of his participation in the World Baseball Classic. San Francisco's conversation about shutting Webb down is likely connected to the team being mathematically eliminated from the playoffs with a 62-88 record.

Chapman worked around two walks to earn the save Sunday against the Royals, striking out three in a hitless and scoreless ninth inning.

Chapman let the possible tying run get to the plate following a pair of free passes, but he punched out three in a row to hang on for the save. The star southpaw continues to roll, having not blown a save since June 28 against the Yankees. He has a 1.95 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 68:23 K:BB over 50.2 innings, collecting 34 saves in 36 opportunities.

Cameron took a no-decision Sunday against Boston, allowing one run on four hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out four.

Cameron appeared to be unfazed by Sunday's contest being pushed back almost two hours due to inclement weather, holding the Red Sox in check for six frames. The southpaw has turned his campaign around in a big way since the All-Star break, producing a 2.42 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 58:20 K:BB over his last 70.2 innings. He'll look to further build on a season 3.84 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 149:52 K:BB across 166.1 innings in his next appearance in Pittsburgh.

Tolle took a no-decision Sunday against the Royals, allowing four hits and one walk in six scoreless innings. He struck out seven.

Tolle showed no ill effects of Sunday's first pitch being delayed nearly two hours due to rain, scattering four singles across six shutout frames. The left-hander has pitched at least 5.1 innings while yielding two runs or fewer in six of his last eight starts, and he notably fired an immaculate inning to open Sunday's outing. He's set to bring a 3.02 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 166:38 K:BB over 143 innings into his next appearance against the Rays in pitcher-friendly Tampa Bay.

Jump (shoulder) is likely to be placed on the 15-day injured list, Jason Burke of Roundtable.io reports.

Jump was dealing with left shoulder tightness during his last start Saturday against the Mariners. Whether he goes on the IL will be determined Tuesday, but if that is indeed the route that is chosen, then Jump's 2026 season will likely be over. Across 20 starts, Jump has a 6-11 record with a 5.47 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 108:46 K:BB over 98.2 innings.

Ortiz went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Reds.

Ortiz opened the scoring with a two-run blast off Chase Burns in the second inning. The performance continued an excellent second half for the 28-year-old, who's hitting .331 with six home runs, 22 RBI, 20 runs scored and four steals over 42 games since the All-Star break. On the season, he's slashing .264/.324/.401 with nine homers, 44 RBI, 44 runs scored and nine stolen bases across 378 plate appearances.

Rangers manager Skip Schumaker told reporters that Quantrill was working through back tightness during his start in Sunday's 7-6 win over the Diamondbacks, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Quantrill was able to work through the injury and picked up the win to improve his record to 9-5, allowing two runs on five hits while striking out four across six innings. The back injury can be considered a day-to-day issue, and perhaps Quantrill won't miss any time. His next turn in the rotation is slated for next weekend at home against the Blue Jays.

Kwan went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double, two total RBI and an additional run scored in Sunday's 9-2 win over the Twins.

Kwan led off the game with a solo shot off Joe Ryan, his first of three hits on the day and his third home run this season (his first since Aug. 7). Kwan also extended his hit streak to seven games -- he's gone 12-for-30 (.400) with five extra-base hits in that span. Overall, he's slashing .278/.375/.346 through 587 plate appearances this season with 75 runs scored, 30 RBI and 10 stolen bases.

Gasser didn't factor into the decision Sunday against the Reds, allowing a run on three hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out five.

Gasser was sharp Sunday, as he held the Reds scoreless through five innings before he was ultimately charged for one run after Elly De La Cruz led off the sixth with a single. While Gasser has failed to make it through six innings in any of his last five starts, he's held opponents to two runs or fewer in each of his last four outings, posting a 2.33 ERA across 19.1 innings in that span. Overall, Gasser sports a 4.30 ERA with a 1.27 WHIP and 92:31 K:BB through 96.1 innings this season. He's tentatively in line to face the Orioles on the road his next time out.

Bednar allowed one hit and no walks in a scoreless ninth inning for the save Sunday against the Mets. He struck out one.

The Mets made the closer work a bit, getting the possible tying run to the plate, but Bednar hung on for the save. The right-hander has successfully converted seven consecutive save opportunities, fanning at least one in five straight outings. Through 64.1 frames, he has a 2.66 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 72:18 K:BB with 34 saves (37 chances).
