McGreevy (6-9) allowed four runs on five hits and two walks while striking out four over five innings to earn the win over the Dodgers on Tuesday.

Mookie Betts drove in four runs on a pair of doubles off McGreevy, but the Cardinals' offense carried the right-hander. With 20 runs allowed (17 earned) over his last 27 innings, McGreevy is showing some wear and tear down the stretch, but he's managed to pick up two wins in that five-start span. Overall, he has a 3.97 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 102:40 K:BB through 147.1 innings over 27 starts. McGreevy is lined up to make his next start at Colorado.

Rodriguez (14-5) allowed three runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out three over five innings to take the loss versus the Phillies on Tuesday.

Rodriguez had allowed a total of four runs over 25.2 innings during his four-start winning streak to end August. He had trouble containing a formidable offense, though this was the sixth time in seven starts during which he was able to keep the ball in the yard. Rodriguez is at a 2.59 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 122:55 K:BB through 167 innings over 28 starts this season. His next start is projected to be on the road versus the Royals.

Luzardo (13-5) allowed one run on six hits, a walk and a hit batsman while striking out six over 6.2 innings to earn the win Tuesday over the Diamondbacks.

Luzardo has allowed just eight runs (six earned) over 41 innings across six starts since the beginning of August. He has a 52:10 K:BB in that span as well, as he's gone from good to great in the second half of the campaign. Overall, the lefty has a 3.02 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 209:51 K:BB through 169.2 innings across 28 starts. Luzardo's next outing is projected to be at home in a tough matchup versus Atlanta.

Boyd did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Brewers, allowing three runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out three over 5.1 innings.

Boyd kept Milwaukee off the board through four innings before three singles produced a run in the fifth. He allowed two runners to reach in the sixth before exiting, and both eventually came around to score. It marked just the second time in his last 11 starts that Boyd failed to complete six innings. The left-hander now owns a 4.05 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 79:31 K:BB across 102.1 innings this season and is slated to face Miami next on Sunday.

Gasser did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Cubs, allowing three runs (two earned) on three hits and two walks while striking out four over 4.1 innings.

Gasser allowed just one hit through the first three innings before running into trouble in the fourth, when three consecutive batters reached to open the frame. An error by Gasser compounded the damage as Chicago pushed across three runs in the inning. The left-hander has now failed to complete five innings in three of his last five starts. He owns a 4.57 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 82:27 K:BB across 86.2 innings this season and is slated for a rematch with the Cubs in his next start.

Smith-Shawver (0-1) took the loss against the Nationals on Tuesday, allowing five runs on six hits and three walks while striking out five across four innings.

The five runs Smith-Shawver allowed in Tuesday's outing were his most in four starts this season, with four of those runs coming in the second inning. The 23-year-old right-hander finished his start having tossed 86 pitches (57 strikes) while generating 16 whiffs, and his five punchouts were a season high. Even though his start against Washington wasn't great, the fact that Smith-Shawver has tossed at least 86 pitches in each of his last two appearances is an encouraging sign that he has fully recovered from Tommy John surgery that he underwent in June of 2025. Atlanta is currently deploying a six-man rotation, so that puts Smith-Shawver in line to face the Rays at home next week.

Irvin allowed two runs on five hits and one walk while striking out five across four innings in a no-decision against Atlanta on Tuesday.

Irvin gave up a solo homer to Ozzie Albies in the second inning before yielding another run in the third. Irvin was pulled in the fifth inning after giving up back-to-back singles without recording an out, and it was a second consecutive outing in which he failed to complete five innings, finishing Tuesday's outing with 86 pitches (57 strikes) and nine whiffs. Irvin is 0-4 over his last seven starts with a 6.09 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 29:18 K:BB over 34 innings. He's lined up to face the Padres next week in what projects to be a two-start week for Irvin.

Burnes (elbow) will not return during the weekend, but he will throw in a bridge game Thursday, Jody Jackson of DBacks.tv reports.

Burnes got off to a great start to his rehab assignment with two perfect innings for Triple-A Reno. However, the Diamondbacks want him to increase his pitch count. The right-hander is throwing a bullpen Tuesday and then will throw in the bridge game Thursday.

Nelson (elbow) threw live batting practice Tuesday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Tuesday marks the first time Nelson has faced hitters since he landed on the injured list back in June with a strained right elbow. He threw 21 pitches during his first live session but is expected to be brought back as a reliever, so he won't need to spend time building up his workload. The 28-year-old righty said he is hopeful to begin pitching in rehab games soon, though the Diamondbacks haven't indicated when he might begin a minor-league assignment.

The Giants transferred Houser (forearm) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday, effectively ending his season, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Houser exited his start versus the Reds last Tuesday due to a right forearm strain. The right-hander got an MRI the following day that revealed the extent of the injury. With the Giants out of the playoff picture, Houser's season is being shut down. He concludes 2026 with a 4.02 ERA and 1.30 WHIP across 109.2 innings over 26 appearances (16 starts).
