Hagenman allowed one run on two hits and one walk while striking out two across three innings in a no-decision against the Rays on Wednesday.

Wednesday was Hagenman's season debut for the Mets, with the 29-year-old right-hander starting the year on the injured list due to a fractured rib. He kept the Rays off the board through the first two innings before giving up an RBI single to Jonathan Aranda in the third. Hagenman tossed only 46 pitches (26 strikes), though that's not entirely surprising given his lengthy stint on the IL. He figures to shift to the bullpen in a long-relief role since Jonah Tong is expected to start for the Mets next week against the Marlins, per Mike Puma of the New York Post.

The Dodgers placed Lauer on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with left elbow inflammation.

Lauer was lit up for seven earned runs in just three innings during his start Tuesday, and he appears to have come away from his outing with an elbow issue. He'll now use the next couple of weeks to recover, and the Dodgers will return Blake Treinen (elbow) from the 60-day IL to provide extra bullpen depth while the team sorts out its rotation plans.

Painter didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against the Diamondbacks, allowing just two hits and no walks over seven scoreless innings. He struck out six.

Painter was stellar Wednesday, as he held Arizona to just a pair of singles, though he ultimately came away with a no-decision as the Phillies failed to provide any run support in an eventual 1-0 defeat. Painter has now delivered three straight quality starts, allowing just four runs while striking out 21 over 20 innings during that span. He's lowered his ERA to 5.55 across 105.1 innings this season with a 1.37 WHIP and 91:37 K:BB. Painter is currently in line to face the Astros at home his next time out.

The Padres are pausing Musgrove's (elbow) rehab assignment because he's having issues recovering between starts, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Musgrove feels fine during his starts and has pitched well on his rehab assignment, most recently tossing five innings of one-run ball in his last outing. However, he's felt fatigued in between outings, specifically in the area of his surgically repaired right elbow. Musgrove had been slated to make a fifth rehab start this week, but it's now unclear when he will take the ball next. The Padres remain hopeful that Musgrove will be able to pitch for them before the end of the regular season, but it's far from guaranteed. The 33-year-old has not thrown a pitch in the majors since the 2024 postseason.

The Mets activated Hagenman (rib) from the 60-day injured list Wednesday.

Hagenman will make a spot start Wednesday versus the Rays in what will be his season debut for the Mets. The right-hander has been shelved since spring training with a fractured rib, but he's pitched well in three rehab outings, yielding five runs (three earned) with a 9:1 K:BB over 9.1 innings. Hagenman tossed 64 pitches in his last appearance, so his workload will be truncated in Tampa Bay. He will likely work in long relief after Wednesday's start.

Soroka (shoulder) will throw a simulated game Friday, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

Soroka was placed on the 15-day injured list with right arm inflammation last week and is eyeing a minimum-length stay with a potential return next week if all goes well during his simulated game. The right-hander owns a 3.40 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 91:24 K:BB across 95.1 innings spanning 18 starts this season.

Gallen (elbow) will throw a simulated game Friday, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

Both Gallen and Michael Soroka (shoulder) will toss sim games Friday with the hope of returning to the team next week. Gallen has been sidelined since July 7 with right elbow inflammation. He made a rehab start with Triple-A Reno over the weekend, allowing a hit and walking two with two strikeouts across 1.2 frames. Gallen is aiming for 60 pitches Friday.

Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Wednesday that Nelson (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Single-A Visalia on Saturday, Alex D'Agostino of SI.com reports.

Lovullo also noted that Nelson -- who has been sidelined since late June with a right elbow strain -- is likely to be used out of the bullpen when he returns. Coming back as a reliever should shorten Nelson's rehab assignment, though he figures to require additional rehab outings after Saturday.

Henderson is scheduled to undergo left elbow surgery Wednesday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Henderson missed the first three months of the season with a flexor strain, only to go down with an elbow strain in his season debut in early August. It's unclear whether Wednesday's operation will be flexor tendon surgery or a different procedure, but it will end his 2026 campaign and could wipe out most, if not all, of his 2027 season.

Wrobleski allowed three runs (two earned) on two hits and one walk while striking out four batters over two relief innings during Tuesday's loss to St. Louis.

Wrobleski was activated off the injured list Tuesday afternoon after recovering from a bout of left forearm inflammation. The left-hander worked out of the bullpen for the second time this season, entering in the seventh inning with Los Angeles down six runs. Wrobleski gave up a Joshua Baez solo homer in his first frame but did manage to strike out the side. He gave up two more runs -- one of which was unearned -- in the eighth and struggled with his control, walking one batter and uncorking a wild pitch. It's been a rough second half for Wrobleski, as he's followed his first career All-Star nod by posting a 7.07 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 31:9 K:BB over 28 innings across six second-half appearances. The long ball has been a huge problem during that span -- he's given up 12 homers, including multiple in three of those outings. Wrobleski figures to work in middle and long relief down the stretch, which will give him a chance to iron out his recent issues ahead of the postseason.
