Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said Sale (ribcage) will likely be activated from the 60-day injured list to start Saturday's game in Philadelphia, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

With Sale checking out well physically following his third and final rehab start Saturday for Triple-A Gwinnett, he'll be on track to rejoin the Atlanta rotation one week later for what will be his first start with the big club since June 18. Before suffering a left ribcage fracture in his start against the Mets that day, Sale had delivered an impressive encore to his Cy Young-winning season in 2024, turning in a 2.52 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 114:26 K:BB in 89.1 innings with Atlanta. The veteran lefty tossed 77 pitches in his final outing with Gwinnett and could have his workload monitored carefully Saturday, but fantasy managers will likely still want to activate Sale this week as he rejoins the big club.

Wiggins struck out two batters and allowed no hits and two walks over three scoreless innings for Double-A Knoxville in his start Sunday.

Wiggins hadn't pitched since July 19 in what appears to have been a deliberate plan on the Cubs' part to limit the 23-year-old righty's workload in his second season following 2023 Tommy John surgery. Wiggins didn't exhibit any signs of rust in his return and owns a shiny 1.93 ERA and 50:17 K:BB in 38 innings for Knoxville on the season.

The Brewers recalled Patrick from Triple-A Nashville to start Sunday against the Giants, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

The right-hander was temporarily promoted for a spot start during Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cubs and will rejoin the Brewers to close out the weekend series versus the Giants. Patrick took the loss in Chicago after giving up five runs (three earned), but he's mostly been an effective rotation piece during his rookie season with a 3.61 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 99:32 K:BB over 99.2 innings at the big-league level.

Gasser (elbow) struck out two batters while scattering one hit and two walks over four scoreless innings in his most recent rehab start Tuesday for Triple-A Nashville.

The 26-year-old lefty is seemingly approaching the finish line in his recovery from June 2024 Tommy John surgery. Over three starts since his rehab assignment was shifted to Nashville, Gasser has turned in a 1.00 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 8:4 K:BB in nine innings. With his 30-day rehab window coming to an end, the Brewers could choose to activate him from the 60-day injured list and have him start or serve as a bulk reliever Sunday against the Giants in an effort to build in an extra day of rest for the team's current rotation members.

Woodruff is expected to make his next start Monday versus the Diamondbacks, Sophia Minnaert of FanDuel Sports Network Wisconsin reports.

Woodruff was available on four days' rest to start Sunday's series finale versus the Giants, but because he's received at least five days of rest ahead of all but one of his eight starts since being activated from the 60-day injured list July 6, the Brewers apparently aren't keen on deviating from that plan. He'll tentatively line up for two starts during the upcoming week, with his second outing likely to come next weekend in Toronto.

The Rockies selected Brown's contract from Double-A Hartford ahead of his scheduled start Sunday in Pittsburgh.

The 25-year-old right-hander will bypass the Triple-A level to make his MLB debut, taking over the rotation spot that belonged to Austin Gomber. Brown had his development stalled after undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2023, but he's enjoyed good health in 2025 and has accrued a 2.47 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 105:30 K:BB in 76.2 innings between Hartford and High-A Spokane. Though he'll benefit from a debut in a pitcher-friendly venue against a weak Pirates lineup, Brown's lack of high-level experience renders him a risky streaming option, even in NL-only leagues.

Nola (2-7) picked up the win in Saturday's 6-4 victory over the Nationals, giving up three runs (two earned) on five hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out six.

The veteran right-hander shut down the Washington offense for four frames before beginning to fade, and he served up solo shots to CJ Abrams and Luis Garcia in the sixth inning. Nola left the mound after 97 pitches (64 strikes) and ended with his first win, and first quality start, since May 3, having missed three months over the summer with ankle and rib injuries. He'll look to build on this performance in his next outing, which is scheduled to come at home next week against Atlanta.

Parker (7-14) took the loss Saturday, coughing up six runs on six hits and a walk over five innings as the Nationals were downed 6-4 by the Phillies. He struck out three.

The left-hander kept Philly off the board for three innings before crumbling, and he got the hook after 103 pitches (68 strikes). Parker was hit hard once again, as four of the six hits he gave up went for extra bases, including homers by Edmundo Sosa and Trea Turner. Parker is 0-4 over his last five starts, a stretch in which he's produced a 12.00 ERA, 1.95 WHIP, 3.0 HR/9 and 13:11 K:BB over 21 innings. Despite those ghastly numbers, the Nats haven't provided any hints that his rotation spot is in jeopardy. He'll try to turn things around in his next outing, which lines up to come at home next weekend against the Rays.

Abbott (8-4) took the loss against the Diamondbacks on Saturday, giving up seven runs (six earned) on eight hits while striking out six over four innings.

The left-hander was hit hard from the jump, surrendering four consecutive hits and three runs in the first inning. The outing didn't get better from there as Abbott served up a two-run homer to Lourdes Gurriel in the third and another two-run shot to Geraldo Perdomo an inning later. The rough outing came just six days after Abbott delivered one of his best starts of the season, when he tossed seven scoreless innings against Milwaukee. The 26-year-old still carries an impressive 2.62 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 118:35 K:BB in 134 innings and will look to get back on track in his next scheduled start against St. Louis.

Brown allowed one run on two hits and struck out three without walking a batter over three innings to earn the save in Saturday's 12-1 win over the Angels.

Brown earned the first save of his major-league career, throwing 30 of 44 pitches for strikes in this outing. The right-hander probably won't be in the mix for more traditional save chances, as Daniel Palencia has thrived as the Cubs' closer this year. Brown has made his last three appearances out of the bullpen, though they've been spaced far enough apart that he is still ostensibly on a starter's schedule if he has to make a spot start at some point. Over 22 appearances (15 starts), Brown has a 5.82 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 111:30 K:BB through 102 innings this season.
