Gore did not factor into the decision in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Tigers. He allowed two runs on three hits and four walks while striking out two over 5.1 innings.

Gore battled through command issues, throwing just 65 of 111 pitches for strikes while recording a season-low two punchouts. Despite not having his best stuff, the southpaw has now allowed three earned runs or fewer in 15 of 18 starts this season and has completed at least five innings in all but one. He'll take a 3.11 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 131:34 K:BB across 104.1 innings into a road matchup with the Cardinals next week.

High-A South Bend reinstated Gray (shoulder) from its 60-day injured list Wednesday.

Gray has received the green light to make his first appearance of the season for South Bend in Wednesday's game against Peoria after he struck out 11 and allowed one unearned run on two hits and four walks in 6.1 innings over his two rehab starts in rookie-level Arizona Complex League. The 22-year-old southpaw has had tough luck on the health front since being selected 93rd overall in the 2021 First-Year Player Draft. He missed the entire 2022 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery and was on the shelf for three months to begin this season due to a shoulder injury.

Williams (3-10) took the loss in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Tigers, allowing seven runs on nine hits and one walk with four strikeouts over three innings.

Williams endured a six-run first inning that included a pair of three-run homers and exited after 86 pitches in his shortest start of the season. The 33-year-old has now gone six straight outings without a win since beating Seattle in his lone quality start of the year on May 28. He'll carry a 6.21 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 65:21 K:BB across 82.2 innings into a road matchup with the Cardinals next week.

The Giants recalled Black from Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Black has been in Triple-A all season and owns a 4.75 ERA with a 1.33 WHIP across 72 innings. He's worked almost exclusively as a starter throughout his professional career, but he'll likely be used in long relief while in San Francisco while replacing Carson Seymour in the bullpen.

Abel (2-2) took the loss in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Padres, coughing up five runs on two hits and five walks over 1.2 innings as the Phillies fell 6-4. He struck out three.

The rookie right-hander couldn't find the plate, tossing just 25 of 53 pitches for strikes before getting the hook and putting his bullpen behind the eight ball in the twin bill. Abel hadn't pitched since June 21 as a rain delay washed out his previous start, and the long layoff almost certainly contributed to his lack of sharpness. His ERA spiked from 3.47 to 5.04 as a result of this outing, and Abel will try to get back on track in his next trip to the mound, which is scheduled to come on the road early next week in San Francisco.

Pivetta (9-2) picked up the win in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Phillies, allowing one run on seven hits over six innings. He struck out six without walking a batter.

A solo homer by Kyle Schwarber in the sixth inning was the only blemish on Pivetta's line. The right-hander spent the first three-plus seasons of his MLB career with Philadelphia, but he appears to have found a new gear in San Diego -- he's already one win short of his career high, and his 10 quality starts is two shy of the career-high 12 he delivered for Boston in 2022. Pivetta will take a 3.25 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 107:24 K:BB through 97 innings into his next outing, which lines up to come at home early next week against the Diamondbacks.

Tidwell is slated to work in bulk relief behind opening pitcher Huascar Brazoban in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Brewers, Manny Gomez of NJ.com reports.

Tidwell was initially listed as the Mets' scheduled starter for Game 2, but the club made the late decision to use the right-hander behind an opener following a 7-2 loss to the Brewers in the first game of the day. The rookie will be making his fourth appearance of the season for the Mets, after previously allowing 12 earned runs in 10.2 innings across two starts and one relief outing. Though he'll be taking over the rotation spot that opened up after Griffin Canning suffered a season-ending Achilles injury last week, Tidwell may be headed back to the minors after his appearance Wednesday. Lefty Sean Manaea (oblique/elbow) will make a rehab start with Double-A Binghamton on Wednesday and could be ready to return from the 60-day injured list the next time the Mets require a fifth starter.

Holmes didn't factor into the decision in the opening game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Brewers. He allowed two runs on three hits and four walks while striking out one over 5.1 innings.

While Holmes was able to limit the damage for the most part Wednesday, the right-hander has struggled with his command recently, issuing 14 walks over 15 innings across his last three starts. Overall, the 32-year-old Holmes is 8-4 with a 2.99 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 76:39 K:BB across 17 starts (93.1 innings). He's currently scheduled for a home matchup with the Yankees in his next outing.

Peralta (9-4) earned the win in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Mets, allowing two runs on two hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out six.

It's the fourth straight win for Peralta, who's held opponents to three runs or fewer in all but one start this season. The right-hander sports a 2.91 ERA with a 1.09 WHIP and 104:35 K:BB through 18 starts (99 innings) this year. Peralta is currently scheduled to face the Marlins on the road in his next outing.

Atlanta placed Schwellenbach on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to a fractured right elbow.

Per Mark Bowman of MLB.com, Schwellenbach felt sore the day after his last start against the Phillies, and tests revealed that he has a small fracture in his pitching elbow. The right-hander will be shut down for four weeks but hopes to return in September. Given the nature of the injury and where Atlanta is in the standings, it's certainly possible Schwellenbach won't be on a major-league mound again until next season. He's been one of the few bright spots for Atlanta in 2025, collecting a 3.09 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 108:18 K:BB over 110.2 innings covering 17 starts.
