Gore (10-12) got the win Saturday against the Cubs, allowing one run on one hit and three walks while striking out nine over seven innings.

Gore took a no-hitter into the seventh inning for the first time in his career, but he proceeded to allow a solo homer to Patrick Wisdom. Gore has put together a strong run of five quality starts in his last six outings, with a 1.82 ERA in that stretch, and he's reached double-digit wins for the first time in his career. The 25-year-old enters his final start of the season with a 4.04 ERA and 172 strikeouts in 160.1 innings.

The Cardinals placed Gray on the 15-day injured list Saturday with right forearm flexor tendinitis.

Gray previously said that he pitched through soreness during his most recent start Wednesday, and he'll now be sidelined for the rest of the season due to his forearm issue. He will finish his first season in St. Louis with a 3.84 ERA and 1.09 WHIP alongside a 203:39 K:BB across 28 starts. Kyle Leahy was recalled from Triple-A Memphis to replenish St. Louis' pitching depth.

Lowder (2-1) got the win Saturday against the Pirates, allowing five hits and two walks while striking out four over five scoreless innings.

Lowder worked in and out of trouble Saturday, including a bases-loaded jam in the fifth to close out his day. The rookie right-hander has now kept opponents off the scoreboard in three of his five career starts. The seventh overall pick in the 2023 draft lowered his ERA to 1.40 over his first 25.2 innings.

Jones (6-8) took the loss Saturday against the Reds, allowing six runs on six hits and three walks while striking out five over five innings.

The Reds pounced on Jones as he matched career highs in home runs and earned runs allowed. Jones got off to a blistering start this season, but injuries and inefficiency have plagued him of late. Since coming off the injured list Aug. 27, Jones has a 6.23 ERA in five starts, and he has seen his ERA climb to 4.14 in 117.1 innings for the season.

Manager Skip Schumaker said Saturday that Garrett experienced discomfort in his elbow during his latest bullpen session, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Garrett has been on the injured list since June with a strained left forearm and recently made his third rehab appearance at Triple-A Jacksonville. However, his latest elbow setback may put a dent in his plans to return to Miami before the end of the season. The Marlins will take the lefty in for an MRI, the results of which will help determine whether he can pitch again in 2024.

Glasnow doesn't expect to need surgery on his sprained right elbow, but he's been shut down from throwing for the foreseeable future, per MLB.com.

Glasnow was diagnosed with a right elbow sprain Sept. 14 and was subsequently moved to the 60-day IL. Though the right-hander doesn't think he'll need surgery, his injured elbow will be subject to monitoring and imaging as he looks ahead to clearance to resume throwing. Glasnow's injury isn't expected to carry over into next season, but it's highly unlikely he'll pitch again in 2024 even if the Dodgers make a deep run into the postseason.

Gibson (8-8) took the loss Friday as the Cardinals fell 5-1 to the Guardians, giving up four runs (three earned) on six hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out two.

A Thomas Saggese throwing error allowed Gibson to barely qualify for his 13th quality start of the season, but he once again didn't get much run support. The right-hander has only one win since the All-Star break, going 1-5 over his last 11 outings despite a respectable 4.08 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 50:24 K:BB through 64 innings. Gibson will try to close out his season on a high note next weekend on the road in San Francisco.

Rea came away with a no-decision in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Diamondbacks, giving up three runs on five hits and a walk over four innings. He struck out four.

The right-hander got lifted after 67 pitches (45 strikes) with the Brewers down 4-0, but a rally in the bottom of the fifth inning took Rea off the hook for the loss. The 34-year-old hasn't worked more than four innings in any of his last five appearances, stumbling to an 8.68 ERA, 1.77 WHIP and 15:4 K:BB through 18.2 innings over that stretch. With Milwaukee having locked up the NL Central title, Rea figures to get one more start in the final week as the team sets up its postseason rotation, but he's almost certainly ticketed for the bullpen in the playoffs.

Gallen (13-6) picked up the win Friday, giving up four runs on seven hits -- including three home runs -- and a walk over five innings in a 7-4 victory over the Brewers. He struck out five.

The righty blanked Milwaukee for four innings before falling apart in the fifth, blowing a 4-0 lead by serving up long balls to Joey Ortiz, William Contreras and Garrett Mitchell. Arizona struck back for three more runs in the top of the sixth, however, allowing Gallen to escape with the win. It marks Gallen's first time allowing multiple homers since April 26, and he's been both lucky and good down the stretch as the Diamondbacks push for a playoff spot, going 4-0 over his last six outings with a 3.38 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 43:15 K:BB through 32 innings. He lines up to make his final start of the regular season at home next week against the Giants.

Musgrove allowed four hits and struck out nine without walking a batter over six scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the White Sox on Friday.

Musgrove has turned in six scoreless frames in three of his four outings in September. The nine strikeouts matched his season high for the third time, and this was also the sixth time in 18 starts he avoided walking a batter. Musgrove trimmed his ERA to 3.95 with a 1.19 WHIP and 95:22 K:BB across 93.1 innings. He's lined up to make his last start of the regular season on the road versus the Dodgers.
