Cavalli (3-1) earned the win Monday at Miami, allowing two runs on six hits and one walk over five innings with one strikeout.

The 27-year-old contained the Marlins lineup over this short outing with his offense providing 15 runs of support. Cavalli fired 61 total pitches, 41 of which were strikes, as the Nationals monitor the workload for their oft-injured righty. The former first-rounder has pitched to a 4.67 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 29:9 K:BB across 34.2 total frames this season. Cavalli is currently slated to make his next appearance at home against the Pirates this weekend.

Elder (7-9) notched the win Monday against the Cubs, allowing one run on five hits and one walk in 6.1 innings. He struck out six.

Since being torched for eight runs in his Aug. 19 start against the White Sox, Elder has gotten himself into quite the groove on the hill. The right-hander has thrown at least six innings while yielding two runs or fewer in four consecutive outings, improving his ERA from 6.29 following that Aug. 19 appearance to 5.35 for the season during that span. Elder will be trying to keep the good times rolling this weekend at home against the Astros. Through 138 innings, he has a 1.41 WHIP and 111:48 K:BB to go with the aforementioned 5.35 ERA.

Junk (6-3) took the loss Monday against Washington, conceding six runs on eight hits and two walks over 4.1 innings with three strikeouts.

The Miami right-hander looked rusty as he returned from an elbow injury that kept him out since Aug. 27. Junk completely unraveled in the fifth, as he allowed four of the first five batters to reach before being lifted for reliever Seth Martinez. After posting a 2.68 ERA in his first 50.1 frames this season, Junk has struggled since, producing a dreadful 6.64 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 26:8 K:BB over 42 innings. He is currently slated to make his next start at home against the playoff-bound Tigers this weekend.

McLean (4-1) took the loss Monday at Philadelphia, allowing one run on seven hits and three walks over 5.1 innings with five strikeouts.

Despite being saddled with his first loss, the rookie right-hander held his own against the division-leading Phillies in this 91-pitch outing. McLean generated a solid 13 whiffs, as he's tallied five or more Ks in each of his first five starts. The 24-year-old now sports a sterling 1.42 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 33:10 K:BB across 31.2 total frames. He currently lines up to make his next appearance at home against Texas this weekend.

Nola (4-8) fired six scoreless innings, conceding three hits and two walks, to pick up the win Monday against the Mets. He struck out seven.

The veteran right-hander turned in a vintage performance with this 94-pitch outing. Prior to Monday, Nola had been struggling since returning from the injured list Aug. 17, producing an ugly 8.38 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in 19.1 frames over four starts. Nola stymied a hot New York lineup that had plated the third most runs in the second half entering Monday, as the 32-year-old tallied a season-best seven Ks. He will carry a 6.24 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 79:25 K:BB across 75 total innings into his next appearance, which currently lines up to come at home against Kansas City this weekend.

The Reds intend to activate Burns (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Friday, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Burns was cleared to resume throwing in mid-August and progressed to facing live hitters in early September. He's in the final stages of his recovery from a Grade 1 right elbow strain, and the 22-year-old looks poised to skip a rehab assignment and return to the majors as long as he gets through Tuesday's bullpen session without suffering a setback, per Wittenmyer. Burns started in all eight of his appearances with the Reds prior to his injury and posted a 5.24 ERA and 1.34 WHIP across 34.1 innings, but manager Terry Francona has hinted at Burns working out of the bullpen for the tail end of the season.

Whisenhunt (back) will throw a bullpen session Monday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

It appears to be the first time Whisenhunt has thrown from the bump since he landed on the 15-day injured list at the end of August with a back strain. Whisenhunt is eligible for activation this weekend, and it's possible he'll return then if the Giants don't think he needs a rehab start.

Glasnow (back) will start Monday's game versus the Rockies in Los Angeles, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Glasnow was scratched from his scheduled start this past Friday against the Orioles due to back tightness, but he's bounced back well enough since then to receive the go-ahead to take the ball in Monday's series opener. The right-hander threw an even 100 pitches in his most recent start nine days ago, but it's possible the Dodgers will be cautious with his workload Monday as he comes back from the injury.

Taillon (groin) will be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Wednesday's game in Atlanta, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Taillon has officially been cleared to rejoin the Cubs rotation after missing the past couple weeks of action with a strained left groin. The veteran right-hander allowed three runs on six hits --including a pair of home runs -- and a walk while striking out six over 3.2 innings in his lone rehab start with Triple-A Iowa this past Thursday. Taillon threw 68 pitches in that outing, so he'll have a somewhat limited workload Wednesday.

The Mets have shut down Megill (elbow) from throwing after the 30-year-old right-hander experienced tightness in his right arm, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Megill was knocked around for five runs on four hits and two walks while striking out three batters across two innings during Sunday's rehab start with Triple-A Syracuse. Laura Albanese of Newsday notes that Megill experienced tightness when throwing his secondary pitches and will undergo an MRI, but this latest setback puts a potential return this season in jeopardy.
