Perdomo didn't factor into the decision Sunday against the Mets, allowing three hits and a walk across six scoreless innings. He struck out four.

Perdomo was stellar in his first major-league start, as he needed just 83 pitches to make it through six scoreless innings. It was quite a performance for the 24-year-old southpaw, who posted a 5.10 ERA across 47.2 innings in nine starts with Triple-A Sacramento this season. While it may have been just a spot start for Perdomo, he certainly made a case Sunday for another look in San Francisco's rotation.

Brewers manager Pat Murphy said after Sunday's 12-8 loss to the Reds that Harrison could be shifted to a relief role or make shorter planned starts, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. The left-hander took a no-decision in the loss, giving up six runs (four earned) on nine hits and four walks while striking out four over 3.2 innings.

For a second straight start, Harrison was limited to exactly 3.2 innings, and he hasn't pitched beyond five frames in his past eight outings. In just his last five starts alone, he's surrendered 24 runs, including 10 home runs. Whether it's making shorter starts or working out of the bullpen, either role would likely result in reduced fantasy relevance for Harrison, whose upside has already been limited due to his recent struggles.

The Mariners transferred Davila (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.

Davila's initial placement on the shelf was retroactive to Aug. 31, so his move to the 60-day IL will officially bring an end to his season. Before going down with an SC joint sprain in his right shoulder, Davila made 24 appearances out of the Seattle bullpen and submitted a 4.94 ERA and 1.35 WHIP across 27.1 innings.

The Mariners optioned Wisdom to Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday.

Wisdom will give up his spot on the 28-man active roster to outfielder/infielder Michael Arroyo, who was called up from Tacoma. Over two separate stints in the majors this season, Wisdom has slashed just .106/.160/.191 with 21 strikeouts in 50 plate appearances.

Montgomery earned the save in Sunday's 1-0 win over the Angels, allowing a walk while striking out one in a scoreless ninth inning.

Montgomery improved to 10-for-12 in save chances this season while extending his scoreless streak to 17.1 innings -- he's allowed just seven hits while striking out 27 in that span. Montgomery's ERA is down to 2.87 on the season with a 1.06 WHIP and 92:23 K:BB across 59.2 innings.

Taylor is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

After he had been included in the lineup in each of the last four games while the Padres went up against four left-handed starters, the right-handed-hitting Taylor will head to the bench while the Yankees send righty Gerrit Cole to the bump. Taylor looks like he'll have to settle for the short side of a platoon in left field with Dustin Harris for the time being.

Fermin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

Fermin will hit the bench for the third time in four games and looks like he'll be part of a three-way timeshare at catcher as the season winds down after the Padres recently called up top prospect Ethan Salas from Triple-A El Paso. Though he's a reliable defender behind the plate, Fermin has mustered a lowly .563 OPS over 240 plate appearances on the season.

Urena (9-10) took the loss Sunday against the Pirates, allowing a run on three hits and a walk across eight innings. He struck out four.

Henry Davis' solo home run in the third inning accounted for all of the damage against Urena on Sunday, as the right-hander turned in another excellent outing. However, the Angels failed to provide any run support in an eventual 1-0 defeat. Urena has now allowed just two runs on eight hits across 15 innings in his last two starts, lowering his ERA to 2.74 with a 1.21 WHIP and 124:65 K:BB across 131.1 innings this season. He's currently in line to face the Nationals on the road his next time out.

Skenes (10-11) earned the win Sunday over the Angels, allowing four hits and a walk over 5.1 scoreless innings. He struck out two.

While Skenes wasn't exactly dominant Sunday, he managed to hold the Angels scoreless in a strong bounce-back performance after he gave up five runs in 4.2 innings against the Giants his last time out. It's Skenes' first win since July 19 -- he'd gone 0-3 with a 5.77 ERA across 34.1 innings in his previous seven outings. Overall, the 24-year-old Skenes sports a 3.83 ERA with a 1.15 WHIP and 181:45 K:BB across 29 starts (155 innings) this season. He's currently in line for a road matchup with the Cubs his next time out.

Ward is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

Following the recent promotion of Lazaro Montes (hip) to the big leagues, Ward appears to have faded into a short-side platoon role. Each of Ward's last four starts have come against left-handed pitching, and the Mariners have kept him on the bench for three consecutive matchups with righties. Since being acquired from the Orioles on Aug. 3, Ward has slashed just .105/.200/.132 with one extra-base hit (a triple) and a 28.2 percent strikeout rate.
