Harrison did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing two runs on five hits over 4.2 innings against the Nationals. He struck out three.

Harrison rebounded after having given up four home runs in his previous start, allowing just two runs to cross the plate Thursday while avoiding the long ball for the sixth time in his last eight starts. Harrison remained in the game following a 50-minute rain delay in the top of the third but was removed with the bases empty and two outs in the fifth at just 61 pitches, a season-low total for the 22-year-old lefty. While there is no indication that an injury was the cause for his removal, Harrison did see a noticeable dip in his velocity with multiple fastballs failing to reach 90 mph. It's possible the Giants will elect to give him extra rest, but as of now he looks to be on track to make his next start, which is tentatively scheduled to take place during next week's home series against Atlanta.

Kelly (shoulder) will throw a bullpen session Friday at Chase Field, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

Kelly made a rehab start with High-A Hillsboro on Tuesday, surrendering three runs on six hits while striking out two batters over four innings. The right-hander has been out since late April while recovering from a right shoulder strain, and it's possible that if Friday's session goes well, Kelly could be activated from the 60-day injured list as soon as Sunday.

Morton (6-7) was charged with the loss Thursday versus the Brewers after he surrendered eight runs on nine hits and one walk over 2.2 innings. He struck out three.

Milwaukee's offense erupted for eight long balls in the series finale, and Morton gave up half of those homers. It's the second time in his past three starts the right-hander has allowed at least three home runs and was the fourth time in his past six outings he's served up multiple homers. Morton's ERA ballooned by a half-run to 4.47 following the poor showing, and he also has a 1.31 WHIP and 112:43 K:BB over 114.2 innings this year.

Montas allowed three runs on two hits and four walks over four innings during Thursday's 16-7 win against Atlanta. He struck out seven and did not factor in the decision.

The right-hander started off the contest with two scoreless frames and five punchouts, but Austin Riley tagged him for a three-run homer during the third inning. Montas needed 91 pitches (55 strikes) to record just 12 outs, as he was unable to complete the necessary five innings to qualify for a win after Milwaukee spotted him an 8-0 lead. The 31-year-old has a 5.10 ERA through 21 starts this season, and he's given up six runs in nine innings across two outings since being acquired by the Brewers.

Atlanta will skip Schwellenbach's next turn in the rotation, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Presumably it's being done as a means to manage his workload, as the rookie right-hander is already more than 40 innings past last season's workload. Schwellenbach's next turn would have been Sunday in Colorado, and Atlanta has not yet listed a probable pitcher for that time. The 24-year-old should make his next start the following weekend against the Angels.

Diaz was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Reno on Thursday due to a blister on his right hand, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

Diaz is expected to miss just one start with the issue. The young right-hander held a solid 4.05 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 14:8 K:BB in 20 innings covering three starts for Arizona last month, but with Eduardo Rodriguez back and Merrill Kelly's (shoulder) return imminent, Diaz probably wasn't going to be back in the majors anytime soon even if he was healthy.

Musgrove (elbow) will not rejoin the Padres' rotation this weekend in Miami as previously anticipated, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Manager Mike Shildt indicated previously that Musgrove would make a start against the Marlins this weekend, but he is not listed among the team's probable starters this weekend. Instead, he's likely to return Monday at home versus the Pirates, per Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune, although that has not yet been confirmed by the team. Musgrove went 3.1 innings and threw 43 pitches in a rehab start with Single-A Lake Elsinore on Sunday. He's been out since late May due to a bone spur and bone bruise in his right elbow.

The Rockies placed Feltner on the 15-day injured list Thursday due to a right shoulder strain.

Feltner was pulled from his start Wednesday after just one inning due to shoulder and lat issues, and manager Bud Black said immediately after the game that it was likely the 27-year-old would need to spend time on the IL. With Feltner sidelined until at least Aug. 23 and German Marquez (elbow) set to miss the rest of the season, the Rockies will need to promote someone from Triple-A to fill the fifth spot in their rotation. For now, they'll recall Riley Pint to provide additional bullpen depth.

Rockies manager Bud Black said Thursday that Marquez will not return from the 15-day injured list this season after being diagnosed with a stress reaction in his right elbow, Manny Randhawa of MLB.com reports.

Marquez made his way back from the IL shortly before the All-Star break after completing his recovery from May 2023 Tommy John surgery but lasted just one start before experiencing a setback with his surgically repaired elbow. The good news is that Marquez isn't dealing with any UCL damage, and the expectation is that he'll be ready to resume throwing in 6-to-8 weeks and have a normal offseason. Marquez is set to earn $10 million in 2025 in his final year under contract.

The Padres designated Wolf for assignment Thursday.

The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for right-hander Carl Edwards, whose contract was selected from Triple-A El Paso. Wolf was reacquired from the Pirates back in April after being designated for assignment and has posted a 7.21 ERA this season at El Paso. The lefty is just 25 years old and has shown some swing-and-miss ability in the past, so it's possible he garners interest via waivers.
