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.

Ross struck out a batter and allowed one hit and one walk over two scoreless innings out of the bullpen Tuesday in the Brewers' 10-0 win over Atlanta.

After returning from the 60-day injured list July 30, Ross started and covered five innings while taking a loss against Atlanta. Ross had started in each of his first 10 appearances of the season with Milwaukee and posted a 4.98 ERA and 1.45 WHIP in those outings before being moved to the bullpen this week. With the acquisition of Frankie Montas at the trade deadline, the Brewers didn't have room in the rotation for Ross, who should continue to operate as a low-leverage reliever until an injury to another starting pitcher reopens a rotation spot.

The Brewers could reinstate Hall (knee) from the 60-day injured list and have him start Sunday against the Reds, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

The Brewers do not have a starter listed for Sunday, but Hall would be available on four days' rest after he allowed one run over four innings in his latest rehab start with Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday. Colin Rea would also be available on normal rest, but the Brewers may want to give him an extra day to recover from the seven shutout innings he tossed Tuesday in Atlanta. Hall has not made a start in the majors since late April, as he's been working his way back from a left knee sprain.

Irvin (8-10) took the loss Wednesday, surrendering five runs on eight hits -- including three home runs -- and a walk over five innings. He struck out four.

Mike Yastrzemski popped a solo shot off the right-hander in the fourth inning before Heliot Ramos and Matt Chapman both took him deep in the fifth. Issues keeping the ball in the yard are nothing new for Irvin -- he's been tagged for multiple homers in four of his last six trips to the mound, and over that stretch he's seen his ERA on the season rise from 2.80 to 3.76. Irvin could have a tough time turning things around in his next outing, which lines up to come on the road early next week in Baltimore.

Snell (2-3) picked up the win in Wednesday's 7-4 victory over the Nationals, giving up three runs on four hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out eight.

The veteran lefty stumbled a bit in the third inning, allowing all three of his runs, including a two-run shot by Juan Yepez, but otherwise Snell had little trouble with the Washington lineup and generated 32 called or swinging strikes among his 93 pitches. It was a strong follow-up performance to his no-hitter against the Reds on Aug. 2, and Snell has reeled off five straight quality starts with a 1.32 ERA, 0.56 WHIP and 46:8 K:BB through 34 innings during that hot streak. He'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, which lines up to come at home early next week against Atlanta.

Bellozo (1-1) picked up the win in Wednesday's 6-4 victory over the Reds, allowing five hits and two walks over 5.2 scoreless innings. He struck out four.

Making his fourth career big-league start, Bellozo fell just short of recording his first career quality start as well as his first win, getting lifted after 92 pitches (56 strikes). The 24-year-old right-hander has given the Marlins at least five innings in each of his outings so far, producing an impressive 3.05 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 19:5 K:BB through 20.2 innings despite a fastball that barely averages 90 mph. It's doubtful he'll be able to keep getting by much longer with smoke and mirrors, but Miami's injury-ravaged rotation will take all the help it can get. Bellozo is scheduled to make his next start on the road early next week in Philadelphia.

Abbott (9-9) took the loss Wednesday, coughing up six runs on six hits -- including three home runs -- and three walks over five innings as the Reds fell 6-4 to the Marlins. He struck out seven.

The Ks helped salvage some fantasy value for Abbott, but the southpaw continues to have trouble keeping the ball in the yard, serving up a pair of solo shots to Jake Burger and a grand slam to Derek Hill. Abbott's been tagged for eight homers over his last five starts and 23.1 innings, stumbling to a 6.56 ERA and 1.93 WHIP over that stretch. He'll try to turn things around in his next outing, which lines up to come at home early next week against the Cardinals.

Atlanta optioned Dodd to Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday.

Dodd gave up a couple runs in a two-inning relief appearance Wednesday versus Milwaukee. He's being replaced on the roster by Parker Dunshee, who was called up from Triple-A to give Atlanta a fresh bullpen arm.
