De Leon's scheduled start Tuesday has been pushed back to Wednesday.

It was announced over the weekend that De Leon would start Tuesday's game, but manager Dave Roberts decided that he and Kenta Maeda would switch spots in the rotation. Maeda will take the ball Tuesday night, and De Leon will get one more day of rest before taking the mound again.

Adleman (3-4) allowed just two runs on four hits and struck out four over seven innings in the win Monday over St. Louis.

Adelman has three quality starts in his past four outings and has allowed more than three runs just once in 12 starts this season. He pitches to contact with just a 6.0 K/9, and his lack of swing-and-miss stuff probably limits him to a mid-rotation ceiling. Still, Adelman is having a breakout season at age 28, and with the Reds containing few sure-thing starting pitchers, he's putting himself in great position to win a job in 2017.

Vizcaino (shoulder) is set to pitch in an Instructional League game as part of his rehab assignment during the final week of the season, David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

It is still not known whether Vizcaino will be able to return this season for the Braves. The right-handed reliever has been on the DL with a shoulder injury since Aug. 30. If he were to be activated before season's end, it is highly unlikely that he would retake the closer role from Jim Johnson, who has performed exceptionally well as Vizcaino's replacement.

Suter will start Friday's game against the Rockies, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Taylor Jungmann (hip) was originally scheduled to start Friday's tilt, but after ruling Jungmann out due to a hip injury incurred in his previous start, the Brewers decided to give Suter another shot in a starting role. Suter was shelled in his first career start, giving up four runs on seven hits in a mere 4.1 innings against Seattle in mid-August, but he hasn't allowed a single run in 12.1 innings out of the bullpen since then. The left-hander doesn't overwhelm anyone with strikeouts, but his command is solid (2.7 BB/9) and he keeps the ball in the park (0.4 HR/9 with Triple-A Colorado Springs), which could bode well as he preps for a start in hitter-friendly Coors Field.

De La Rosa (elbow) will undergo stem-cell treatment on his right elbow in an effort to avoid another surgery, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

If the stem-cell treatment goes well, it very well might allow De La Rosa to pitch earlier in 2017, which is definitely more than the surgical route can boast. Naturally, the right-hander could end up having surgery if the treatment is unsuccessful, but things should become clearer once he gets the treatment and begins rehab.

De La Rosa (elbow) is scheduled to meet with Dr. James Andrews on Monday , Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

Dr. Andrews, of course, is known for performing Tommy John surgeries. He actually performed Tommy John on De La Rosa back in 2011. If De La Rosa gets the surgery again, he will likely be out for the whole 2017 season.

Iglesias struck out the side en route to his fourth save of the season Sunday versus the Brewers.

Iglesias had not worked in a save situation in nearly two weeks, but he was sharp Sunday, throwing 10 of 15 pitches for strikes to finish off the game. Iglesias seems to have found a home in the bullpen after being considered for starting duty at the beginning of the season, and he could open 2017 as the Reds' top option at closer.

Gsellman (3-2) tossed seven scoreless innings Sunday, scattering three hits and two walks while striking out eight in a 17-0 rout of the Phillies.

He now has a 2.17 ERA and 28:10 K:BB in 29 innings across five September starts, playing a huge part in keeping the Mets in the thick of the wild-card hunt despite all the injuries to their rotation. He'll take on the Phillies once more Friday, this time on the road, to close out his regular season.

Chapman pitched a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Cardinals. He walked one and struck out one.

Chapman nailed down his 36th save with ease, recovering from a two-out walk with a strikeout of Jose Martinez to end the game. The 28-year-old hasn't allowed an earned run this month and has now converted nine consecutive save opportunities.

Blach lasted just three innings in his first career start, allowing two runs on four hits in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Padres. He walked three and struck out three.

Blach needed 76 pitches to get through the first three innings, leading Bruce Bochy to dip into his bullpen early rather than push the rookie. Ranked the organization's No. 23 prospect by MLB Pipeline, Blach went 45-31 with a 3.84 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 3.29 K/BB across four minor league seasons. With San Francisco still battling for a wild-card berth, the date of his next start is uncertain.
