Myers struck out a batter and allowed two hits and no walks over two scoreless innings of relief in Wednesday's 12-5 win over the Pirates.

After returning from Triple-A Nashville with a 3.1-inning start versus the Mariners on Aug. 9, Myers shifted to the bullpen this week. With Milwaukee building up a seven-run lead after seven innings during Wednesday's contest, Myers was called upon to finish out the contest and was able to deliver a couple of drama-free frames. The Brewers have a doubleheader on tap Monday against the Cubs and will need to add a temporary starter to the mix, but Myers may not necessarily be called upon to make a start for either contest of the twin bill. Instead, the Brewers may prefer to keep Myers in a multi-inning relief role and call up Chad Patrick from Triple-A Nashville on Monday to start one of the two contests while Freddy Peralta starts the other.

Manaea didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 11-9 loss to the Mariners, giving up four runs on six hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out seven.

The veteran southpaw may have been lucky to limit the damage as much as he did, as four of the six hits off him went for extra bases, including homers by Mitch Garver and Cal Raleigh, and Seattle wound up setting a club record with nine doubles on the night. After giving up a single run in four straight starts after making his season debut July 13, Manaea has crashed back to earth in a hurry, getting tagged for 13 runs in 14.2 innings over his last three outings, albeit with an encouraging 15:3 K:BB. He'll try to get back on track in his next start, which is scheduled to come on the road next week against the Nationals.

Miley (forearm) allowed one run on one hit and two walks while striking out two over 1.2 innings in a rehab start at Double-A Chattanooga on Friday.

Miley began a rehab assignment, and the plan was for the lefty to throw two innings and 40 pitches -- he was removed one out short of that after 38 pitches. He will likely need another two rehab outings to get up to the five-inning/75-pitch range, which would seem to put him on a track to return in September. Miley's been on the injured list since the middle of June.

Alcantara came away with a no-decision in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Red Sox, allowing one run on two hits and one walk over six innings. He struck out seven.

After coughing up 11 runs in 12 innings over his prior two outings, Alcantara rebounded to record his sixth quality start of the season on 86 pitches (65 strikes). It's been an uneven campaign for the right-hander in his return from Tommy John surgery, but in 30 innings over five starts since the All-Star break he's delivered a 3.60 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 24:9 K:BB, numbers more in line with his pre-injury form from 2023, if not quite at the level of his 2022 NL Cy Young season. Alcantara will look to stack another good performance in his next trip to the mound, which lines up to come at home next week against the Cardinals.

Pallante (6-10) took the loss Friday against the Yankees, giving up four runs on six hits and three walks in five innings. He struck out eight.

The eight strikeouts were a season high for Pallante, but it was not an encouraging showing overall. The right-hander has now yielded at least four runs on five occasions over his last seven outings, posting an unsightly 7.60 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 25:13 K:BB over his last 34.1 innings. Pallante has a lone quality start during that stretch, so he doesn't project as a recommended streamer next week in Miami.

Roupp allowed five runs on five hits and a walk while striking out five over three-plus innings in a no-decision versus the Rays on Friday.

Roupp missed three weeks due to right elbow inflammation. He wasn't great in his return from the injured list -- aside from a tidy 12-pitch first inning, he struggled to keep the Rays in check. The 26-year-old is now at a 3.45 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 100:43 K:BB over 104.1 innings across 21 starts this season. When factoring in his three-inning rehab start with Triple-A Sacramento, Roupp's workload is equal to his career-high 107.1 frames from 2022, which came across three levels of the minors. That makes fatigue a risk over the last quarter of this campaign. Roupp is projected to make his next start at San Diego.

Vasquez (3-6) allowed two runs on three hits and a walk while striking out four over 3.2 innings to take the loss versus the Dodgers on Friday.

Vasquez worked behind an opener in this tough matchup. It mostly worked well, aside from the Dodgers collecting a pair of runs in the third inning, which was enough to stick the right-hander with the loss. Vasquez had started his first 22 appearances of the year with middling results. He's now at a 3.96 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 59:49 K:BB over 111.1 innings. Michael King (knee) is back on the injured list, so it's likely Vasquez will get another turn or two through the rotation, though it remains to be seen if those outings will be as a traditional starter or as a bulk reliever. He's tentatively lined up for a home appearance versus the Giants next week.

Kershaw (7-2) allowed one run on two hits and a walk while striking out three over six innings to earn the win Friday over the Padres.

The Dodgers' use of a six-man rotation -- and the extra rest that comes with it -- appears to be benefiting Kershaw. The southpaw has allowed just two runs over his last 18 innings while winning three starts in a row. For the season, he's now at a 3.01 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 49:20 K:BB across 77.2 innings through 15 starts. Kershaw's next outing is projected to be at Colorado.

Pfaadt (12-8) took the loss Friday against Colorado, allowing four runs on eight hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out four.

The 26-year-old right-hander pitched at least six innings for the first time since his July 18 appearance versus St. Louis, which was simultaneously his most recent quality start. Pfaadt has just eight quality starts among 25 outings in 2025, but he was able to match a season high in pitches (100) Friday. He has a shaky 5.08 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 108:30 K:BB across 133 frames, and Pfaadt will likely remain a risky fantasy option his next time out versus the Guardians at home.

The Mets are expected to designate Blackburn for assignment Saturday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Blackburn has registered a 6.85 ERA and 1.65 WHIP across 23.2 innings with the Mets this season. He's now set to lose his place on the active roster and 40-man roster in order to make room for Nolan McLean, who will be called up from Triple-A Syracuse to start Saturday against the Mariners. It's difficult to envision another team assuming the money remaining on Blackburn's $4.05 million deal for 2025, so he'll most likely go unclaimed off waivers.
