Huascar Ynoa SP | LAA
Braves' Huascar Ynoa: Makes return from IL
Atlanta reinstated Ynoa (hand) from the 60-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Tuesday against the Marlins.
Reliever Jacob Webb was dispatched to Triple-A Gwinnett to clear a spot on the active roster for Ynoa, who will be making his first start with Atlanta since May 16 after he was on the shelf for the past three months with a fractured right hand. The 23-year-old was cleared to rejoin the Atlanta rotation after he recently wrapped up a two-week minor-league rehab assignment that culminated with a 4.2-inning, seven-strikeout outing Aug. 11 for Gwinnett. He tossed 83 pitches in that outing, so he shouldn't face any significant restrictions with his workload when he takes the mound Tuesday.

Braxton Garrett RP | CHC
Marlins' Braxton Garrett: Can't find plate Monday
Garrett (1-2) took the loss Monday as the Marlins were routed 12-2 by Atlanta, giving up three runs on three hits and six walks over three-plus innings. He struck out two.
The 24-year-old southpaw got staked to an early 2-1 lead but his inability to get the ball over the plate quickly led to disaster, as Garrett managed to toss only 39 of 77 pitches for strikes before getting the hook. Trevor Rogers (personal) remains without a timeline to return to the Marlins and Pablo Lopez (shoulder) is only throwing bullpen sessions, but Garrett's 5.03 ERA, 1.82 WHIP and 32:20 K:BB through 34 innings aren't making a strong case for him to stay in the rotation much longer.

Touki Toussaint RP | LAA
Braves' Touki Toussaint: Fans seven in second win
Toussaint (2-2) picked up the win in Monday's 12-2 rout of the Marlins, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks over 6.1 innings. He struck out seven.
Both runs came on early solo shots by Jazz Chisholm and Isan Diaz, but Toussaint steadied the ship before Atlanta seized control of the game with a seven-run fourth inning. The quality start was the third in six outings for the right-hander since he joined the rotation after the All-Star break, and Toussaint will carry a 4.01 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 35:11 K:BB through 33.2 innings into his next start.

Rich Hill SP | KC
Mets' Rich Hill: Can't escape fourth inning
Hill went 3.2 innings in Monday's 7-5 loss to the Giants, allowing two runs on six hits with two strikeouts. He didn't factor into the decision.
Hill faced just 10 batters through the game's first three innings but permitted five hits and two runs in the fourth before being lifted. Major League Baseball's oldest player has not permitted more than four runs in any of his five appearances with New York, though he's also failed to surpass five innings in any of those and owns a 4.98 ERA across 21.2 innings with the Mets.

Kevin Gausman SP | CHC
Giants' Kevin Gausman: Third straight win
Gausman (12-5) earned the win in Monday's 7-5 victory over the Mets, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks with seven strikeouts in five innings.
Gausman got the win Monday despite not having his typical dominant stuff, allowing all three New York runs on three baserunners in the fifth inning. The first-time All-Star has rebounded from a poor July with three straight wins to open August, fanning 20 in 16 innings with only five runs allowed.

Antonio Senzatela RP | MIL
Rockies' Antonio Senzatela: Yields two runs in quality start
Senzatela allowed two runs on six hits and a walk over seven innings in Monday's win over the Padres. He struck out two and did not factor in the decision.
Through five innings, the only run to score against Senzatela came on a wild pitch in the second inning. He later allowed an RBI base knock to Manny Machado in the sixth. The 26-year-old was in line for his first win since June 2 before Daniel Bard blew a save chance in the ninth. Senzatela had allowed at least three runs in each of his last three outings but he lowered his season ERA to 4.58 after Monday's quality start. He's projected to face Arizona at home this weekend.

Wade Miley SP | CIN
Reds' Wade Miley: Earns 10th win
Miley (10-4) allowed four hits and a walk while striking out seven in seven scoreless innings to earn the win Monday against the Cubs.
Miley was hit hard in his last outing, as he allowed five runs in five innings against Atlanta. However, he bounced back with a strong showing against Chicago's faltering offense to earn his second win in his last three appearances. The southpaw's production has remained relatively consistent since the All-Star break, and he's posted a 2.95 ERA and 1.34 WHIP in 36.2 innings across his last six starts. He tentatively lines up to make his next appearance at home against the Marlins on Saturday.

Justin Steele SP | CHC
Cubs' Justin Steele: Tagged with second loss
Steele (2-2) allowed two runs on five hits across four innings to take the loss Monday against the Reds. He walked three and struck out five.
Steele did a decent job of limiting Cincinnati's offensive output, but the lefty was far from dominant as he allowed an average of two baserunners per inning. The Cubs decided to pull him after 82 pitches and his four innings of work, and then the bullpen allowed 12 more runs in the next four innings. Steele has now made two starts for Chicago, allowing five runs across nine innings while striking out six. Those numbers don't jump off the page, but with Jake Arrieta gone and Adbert Alzolay (hamstring) on the injured list, Steele doesn't have a ton of competition for a rotation spot at the moment. He's projected to start again Sunday against the Royals and will attempt to work a little bit deeper into the contest.

Cole Hamels SP | SD
Dodgers' Cole Hamels: Placed on 60-day IL
Hamels was placed on the 60-day injured list with an arm injury Monday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Hamels joined the Dodgers on a major-league deal in early August and was working on building back up to full strength after he missed most of the 2020 campaign due to a shoulder injury. However, the southpaw recently experienced arm pain and will be unavailable for the remainder of the season following his placement on the 60-day IL. Hamels will become a free agent during the offseason and has made just one major-league appearance since 2019. The 37-year-old southpaw's career could be over following his latest arm-related setback.

Trevor Williams RP | TEX
Mets' Trevor Williams: Recalled from Triple-A
Williams was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Williams made his team debut as a starter Thursday and allowed a run on three hits and two walks while striking out two in 4.1 innings. The right-hander will provide bullpen depth for the Mets after Geoff Hartlieb was optioned to Triple-A on Monday.
