Marquez allowed four runs (two earned) on five hits and a walk while striking out five in five innings in Saturday's win over Atlanta. He didn't factor into the decision.

Although two of the runs Marquez gave up Saturday were unearned, he's now allowed at least three runs in each of his last five appearances. During that time, the right-hander has put up a 7.77 ERA and 1.52 WHIP in 24.1 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to make his next start on the road against Philadelphia on Thursday.

Musgrove (10-8) earned the win over Houston on Saturday, hurling 5.1 innings and allowing two runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out four.

Musgrove allowed at least one baserunner in each of the six frames during which he took the mound and needed 100 pitches to get through 5.1 innings, but he was able to navigate around constant traffic to hold Houston to just two runs. The right-hander has held opponents to two or fewer earned runs in seven of his past eight starts, with the lone exception being an Aug. 14 blowup against Arizona. Musgrove has looked like the ace of the Padres' staff this season, leading all starters in wins (10), ERA (2.87), WHIP (1.01) and strikeouts (173).His next start is likely to take place in Los Angeles against the Dodgers on Friday.

Brubaker was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with right shoulder inflammation, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic reports.

Brubaker returned from the injured list Saturday after dealing with a thumb injury, but he was pulled from his start after three innings due to the shoulder issue. The 27-year-old will be eligible to return Sept. 15, though it's unknown how long he's expected to be sidelined.

Megill (2-4) took the loss in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Nationals, giving up four runs on seven hits and a walk over six innings as the Mets fell 4-3. He struck out eight.

New York's bullpen got taxed when the matinee went to extra innings, but Megill stepped up and worked the entire nightcap, although his offense couldn't matched its 11-run outburst earlier in the day to reward the right-hander with a win. Megill did tie his career high in strikeouts, and on the year the rookie sports a 4.20 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 78:19 K:BB through 70.2 innings.

Stroman didn't factor into the decision during the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Nationals, giving up three runs on six hits and three walks over five innings in an 11-9 extra-innings win. He struck out two.

The right-hander exited after 94 pitches (54 strikes) in line for the win with the Mets ahead 9-3, but the bullpen coughed up six runs in the next two innings. Stroman issued more than two free passes for the first time since June 27 and saw his quality start streak snapped at three in the mediocre effort. He'll take a 2.93 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 136:39 K:BB through 156.2 innings into his next outing.

Rogers tossed 4.1 innings against Philadelphia on Saturday, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three. He did not factor in the decison.

Rogers missed all of September due to a family emergency, and he was consequently limited to 83 pitches in his return to big-league action. The left-hander gave up a pair of fourth-inning runs but kept Miami in the contest, and he was taken off the hook for a loss when the Marlins scored a trio of eighth-inning runs to pull out the victory. Rogers has enjoyed a strong rookie campaign, posting a 2.52 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 132:42 K:BB across 114.1 innings. His next start is likely to come at Atlanta late next week.

Suarez hurled five scoreless innings against Miami on Saturday, allowing two hits and two walks while striking out seven. He did not factor in the decision.

The southpaw put together arguably his strongest start to date, tying his season high with seven punchouts while keeping the Marlins off the scoreboard for five frames. He departed in line to pick up the win, but a late collapse by reliever Archie Bradley gave Miami a comeback victory and left Suarez with a no-decision. Suarez should be picked up in fantasy leagues in which he is still available, as he has allowed only two earned runs while racking up a 19:5 K:BB across his past 17 innings covering three starts. He's tentatively slated to take the mound again Thursday at home versus Colorado.

Urias (16-3) won Saturday's 6-1 match with San Francisco, allowing one run on eight hits with eight strikeouts in 5.2 innings.

Urias limited San Francisco's damage to a single run in the first inning and never encountered trouble thereafter in rolling to his MLB-leading 16th victory. The 26-year-old's eight strikeouts are his most in a start in nearly two months and Urias has now won three straight starts. He's also won seven straight decisions dating back to July 2.

Mahle (11-5) allowed four earned runs on six hits and five walks while striking out eight across five innings, taking the win over the Tigers on Saturday.

Mahle surrendered a three-run home run in the third inning to Eric Haase. In addition, he gave up a fourth run in the fifth frame. He allowed a season-high five walks despite receiving the win. The 26-year-old has a 3.76 ERA and 1.21 WHIP with a 10.7 K/9 in 153.1 innings this season.

Kim (6-7) allowed four earned runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out one across 1.1 innings, taking the loss to the Brewers on Saturday.

Kim allowed a solo home run to Luis Urias, who was the first batter of the game. It was downhill from there, as he allowed four total runs and failed to get through the second inning. The 32-year-old has a 3.53 ERA and 1.26 WHIP with 76 strikeouts in 99.1 innings this season. His next start is projected for Thursday against the Dodgers.
