Harrison (10-5) took the loss Thursday against the Pirates, allowing five runs (four earned) on four hits and two walks over 1.2 innings. He struck out two.

Harrison's struggles continued in his return to the Brewers' rotation. After turning in a scoreless first inning, the southpaw imploded in the second as Pittsburgh put up a five spot. Harrison has now given up a staggering 21 earned runs across just nine frames in his last four appearances. His ERA is up to 4.25 through 112.1 innings this season with a 1.34 WHIP and 136:35 K:BB. Given his difficulties Thursday, Harrison figures to return to Milwaukee's bullpen down the stretch and may not be guaranteed a place on the postseason roster.

Singer (6-15) took the loss Thursday against the Dodgers, allowing seven runs on nine hits and four walks over 3.1 innings. He didn't record a strikeout.

The Dodgers got to Singer quickly Thursday, scoring two runs in both of the first two innings before the right-hander was charged for three more runs in the fourth. It's been a rough finish to the season for Singer -- he's now given up 25 earned runs across just 16.2 frames in his last four starts. His ERA is up to 5.67 through 30 starts (154 innings) this season with a 1.56 WHIP and 125:60 K:BB. Singer will look to turn things around his next time out, tentatively scheduled to come on the road in Atlanta next week.

The Nationals activated Gray (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Thursday, Kyle Williams of TheBanner.com reports.

Gray has not pitched in the big leagues since April 2024, as he was initially rehabbing from Tommy John surgery, and more recently, a flexor strain. The righty was unscored upon in his final eight rehab appearances, though he struck out only four batters in 8.1 frames over that stretch. Gray could eventually get another opportunity in the Nationals' rotation, but he'll be deployed as a reliever down the stretch of this season.

The Reds announced Tuesday that Holman (elbow) has been assigned to the Arizona Fall League, which begins Oct. 3.

Since being drafted by the Reds in 2024, Holman has logged just 15.2 total innings in the professional ranks. He underwent elbow surgery early in the 2025 season and didn't resume pitching until late June of the current season. Holman made four rehab appearances in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League but may have hit a snag in his recovery along the way, as he didn't pitch after July 21. His inclusion on the Peoria Javelinas' roster in the Fall League implies that he's healthy again and ready to stack up some innings.

Bubic allowed one hit and struck out two batters over one scoreless inning in a loss to Cincinnati on Wednesday.

Bubic's appearance was his first in the majors since Los Angeles acquired him in a trade with Kansas City in early August. The veteran lefty looked good Wednesday, throwing 13 of 19 pitches for strikes and hitting 95.9 mph with his fastball, well above his season average of 91.8 mph (with the caveat that his other nine outings were starts). Bubic has less than two weeks to get settled in before the playoffs, but he could be deployed as a bullpen weapon for the Dodgers during the postseason.

Aguiar (undisclosed) struck out two and allowed three earned runs on four hits and no walks over four innings for Triple-A Louisville on Saturday after being reinstated from the 7-day injured list.

Aguiar, who had been on the shelf since July 21, was cleared to rejoin the Louisville rotation after making just one three-inning rehab start at High-A Dayton earlier this month. The 25-year-old righty owns a 6.27 ERA and 1.55 WHIP over 47.1 innings across 12 starts with Louisville on the season.

Doyle (blister) is listed as Double-A Springfield's probable starter for Thursday's Texas League playoff game versus Tulsa.

Doyle was lifted from his last outing with Springfield due to a blister, but he's ready to go after getting seven days of rest in between starts. The left-hander was dynamite down the stretch of the regular season, collecting a 1.73 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 59:25 K:BB over 52 innings covering his final 10 starts.

Nationals president of baseball operations Paul Toboni said Wednesday that Early (elbow) is tentatively scheduled to make his team debut Sept. 26 against the Mets, Spencer Nusbaum of The Athletic reports.

Early made his first rehab appearance with Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday, allowing three runs and throwing 35 pitches in one inning. The southpaw is scheduled to throw again Sunday -- presumably at Rochester -- before making his Nationals debut on the penultimate day of the regular season. Acquired at the trade deadline from the Red Sox, Early has missed the better part of three months with left elbow inflammation.

Wrobleski is slated to start Thursday's game against the Reds in Cincinnati, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Wrobleski hasn't worked more than two innings in any of his three appearances since returning from the 15-day injured list Sept. 1, so he's expected to operate as more of an opener than a traditional starter Thursday. The Dodgers plan to recall Landon Knack from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday, and he'll likely be called upon to cover multiple frames out of the bullpen once Wrobleski exits the game.

Nelson allowed a hit and two walks over 1.1 scoreless innings in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to Miami.

Nelson, who was reinstated from the injured list Wednesday, entered the contest with a runner on and two outs in the fifth inning. He walked a batter before getting out of the inning. Nelson then worked around a walk and a single for a scoreless sixth. He will be used as a reliever down the stretch.
