Rushing is scheduled to undergo imaging on his injured right elbow Sunday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Rushing was a late scratch from Saturday's lineup versus Washington after experiencing right elbow discomfort during an on-field throwing session. The backstop has been limited to DH and pinch-hit duties since returning from the IL on Sept. 1, but now even his ability to hit is in question due to the setback. Manager Dave Roberts said after Saturday's win that regardless of the results of Sunday's tests, Rushing will pause his throwing progression.

Carrigg went 2-for-4 with an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 10-7 win over the Cardinals.

Carrigg has logged multiple hits in three straight games, going 7-for-14 with three RBI in that span. The outfielder picked up his ninth steal of the year Saturday, with six of those thefts coming since the start of August. He's batting .269 with an .802 OPS, seven home runs, 39 RBI, 41 runs scored, 19 doubles and four triples across 73 contests this season.

Romano struck out one without allowing a run, hit or walk over two-thirds of an inning to earn the save in Saturday's 10-7 win over the Cardinals.

Juan Mejia wasn't able to make quick work of the Cardinals in the ninth inning, creating a save situation. Romano got the job done instead, rebounding from his blown save and loss Friday. Romano is now at a 4.88 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 31:15 K:BB across 27.2 innings between the Rockies and the Angels this year. He's converted 15 of 19 save chances while adding one hold. Considering Romano has pitched consecutive days, he may not be available to take a save chance Sunday.

Adams allowed three runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out seven over 4.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Cardinals on Saturday.

Adams logged the highest strikeout total of his three starts so far, but his Coors Field debut was otherwise unimpressive. All three runs he allowed came on homers, as Joshua Baez hit a solo shot in the second inning and Ivan Herrera added a two-run blast in the fifth. Adams is now at a 3.95 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 17:6 K:BB through 13.2 frames in the majors. He's projected to make his next start at Detroit.

Pfaadt allowed three runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out four batters over 6.1 innings in a no-decision against Houston on Saturday.

Pfaadt was behind 3-2 when he exited with one out in the seventh inning, but Arizona scored a run in the eighth to take him off the look for a loss. The right-hander finished with his second straight quality start and his seventh such effort across his past nine outings, a span during which he's posted a 2.47 ERA while going 3-1. Pfaadt will look to extend the strong stretch his next time out, which is projected to be a home tilt versus Texas.

Okamoto went 4-for-5 with two doubles and two RBI in Saturday's 4-3 win over Kansas City.

Okamoto broke a 2-2 tie in the third inning with a run-scoring double. After the Royals tied things up in the fourth, Okamoto again unknotted the score in the seventh frame with a single that plated what turned out to be the winning run. The rookie third baseman finished with the first four-hit effort of his MLB career while logging multiple knocks for the first time since Aug. 20. Okamoto is at a .233/.305/.445 slash line with 28 home runs, 23 doubles, 81 RBI, 73 runs and one stolen base through 137 games on the season.

Murakami went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Saturday against the Twins.

Murakami got the White Sox off to a hot start by popping his 30th home run of the season in the first inning. It was a long-awaited milestone, as he had been sitting on 29 long balls since Aug. 18. During that homerless stretch, Murakami went just 5-for-59 (.085) with a 38 percent strikeout rate, one RBI and five runs scored. It's still been an impressive rookie season for Murakami, but his inflated strikeout rate leads to inconsistent results, which is evident from his .211 average through 107 games.

Lugo allowed three runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out one batter over five innings in a no-decision against Toronto on Saturday.

Lugo began his outing poorly, giving up two runs on five hits in the first inning. The veteran righty settled down from there, yielding only one more run and three more hits over his remaining four frames. While this wasn't Lugo's sharpest outing, it was a clear improvement over the nine-run, 3.2-inning start he registered his previous time on the mound. Lugo will carry a 5.04 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 119:51 K:BB over 159 innings spanning 29 starts into his next outing, which is slated to be a road matchup in Boston.

Bradley (11-6) notched the win against the White Sox on Saturday, allowing four runs on four hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out six.

Bradley continued to deliver in the strikeout department in a shaky outing, tallying at least six punchouts for a fourth consecutive start. The right-hander has pitched at least five frames in 15 of his last 16 outings, but he's walked multiple batters in all but one of his last 11. He'll carry a career-best 3.95 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 184:68 K:BB over 159.1 innings into his next scheduled appearance against Cleveland.

Kay (9-8) took the loss against the Twins on Saturday, allowing five runs on six hits and one walk in 4.1 innings. He struck out three.

Kay hasn't been particularly economical with his pitch count of late, working fewer than five innings despite throwing at least 80 pitches in three consecutive starts. The southpaw has coughed up at least four runs each time out during that period, and he's yet to turn in a single outing this year with no walks. He'll take a 4.47 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 116:50 K:BB over 141 innings into his next scheduled appearance in St. Louis.
