Snell left Sunday's game against the Dodgers due to left adductor tightness.

Snell removed himself from Sunday's game after throwing just 11 pitches, and he had a slight limp as he left the field. It's not yet clear whether the southpaw will be forced to miss his next turn through the rotation, but he tentatively lines up to make his next start on the road against St. Louis on Friday.

Manager Luis Rojas said Sunday that he's hopeful deGrom (elbow) will be able to resume mound work this week, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

DeGrom threw from 120 feet off flat ground last week, and resuming mound work would be a clear step in the right direction. The right-hander is running out of time to return in 2021 with just three weeks remaining in the regular season, but Rojas remains hopeful that deGrom will be able to make an appearance or two late in the year.

Snell exited Sunday's game against the Dodgers in the bottom of the first inning with an apparent injury, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Snell appeared to hurt himself while throwing his 11th pitch of the game, and he immediately removed himself from the contest and limped off the field under his own power. The exact nature and severity of the issue aren't yet known, and it's not clear whether he'll be forced to miss additional time.

Cabrera gave up two runs on three hits and three walks while striking out four before departing after 3.2 innings in Sunday's start against Atlanta due to a sore right big toe, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

At the time of his removal, Cabrera was already at 75 pitches in the outing and was struggling with both his command and control, so he likely wouldn't have worked much longer into Sunday's contest if the injury hadn't intervened. He was spared a loss after the Marlins rallied to tie the game in the sixth inning, but it's not yet clear if Cabrera will be ready to pitch when his next turn through the rotation comes up next weekend versus Pittsburgh.

Flaherty (shoulder) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Thursday, Alex Stumpf of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

Flaherty suffered a shoulder strain in late August. He's been playing catch for the past week and will get back on a mound soon, but he isn't expected to have time to build back up to a starter's workload. He does still appear to have time to make a few appearances as a reliever if he avoids setbacks.

Walker allowed five earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out eight across six innings in the loss to the Yankees on Saturday. He did not factor into the decision.

Walker surrendered three home runs, all in the second inning. All five runs he allowed came in that inning via home runs. He has struggled recently, posting a 6.85 ERA in 22.1 innings over his last four starts. His next start is scheduled for Friday against the Phillies.

Feltner is listed as the Rockies' starting pitcher for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

Feltner was expected to make just one turn through the rotation after he was called up from Triple-A Albuquerque last weekend, but he'll end up drawing a second start after Chi Chi Gonzalez (oblique) was moved to the injured list Wednesday. The right-hander didn't inspire much confidence in his MLB debut against Atlanta, working only 2.2 innings while giving up six runs on five hits -- including three home runs -- and two walks in a losing effort.

Kelly (illness) will throw a bullpen session Monday before the Diamondbacks decide on his next steps, MLB.com reports.

The right-hander worked his pitch count to 66 in a rehab start last Thursday, which could set him up for a shortened start in the majors as soon as Wednesday if Monday's bullpen session goes according to plan. Kelly has been on the COVID-19 injured list since Aug. 14 after testing positive for the virus.

Gray didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 10-7 loss to the Pirates, coughing up five runs on three hits and six walks over five innings. He struck out four.

The right-hander threw only 54 of 100 pitches for strikes, and when he did get the ball over the plate it got hit hard, as Bryan Reynolds and Ben Gamel both took him deep. The wheels have suddenly come off for Gray, and after posting a 2.89 ERA and 1.11 WHIP through his first five starts as a Nat, he's been tagged with a 12.75 ERA and 2.25 WHIP over his last three.

Paddack (7-7) took the loss in Saturday's 5-4 defeat at the hands of the Dodgers, allowing four runs on three hits and two walks with five strikeouts in 4.2 innings.

Paddack was excellent in limiting traffic on the bases, but most of the runners who did make it on ended up scoring. The big blow came in the fifth after Paddack was removed with two on and two out in a 2-2 game. Reliever Craig Stammen served up a three-run home run to Mookie Betts that ended up being the difference in the game. The poor outing comes after two solid performances. Paddack currently is slated to face San Francisco next week.
