Kelly came away with a no decision in Monday's loss to the Rockies. He allowed one run on two hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out five.

Kelly exited his previous start against the Rangers due to a hamstring injury but was able to get through six innings with relative ease on Monday. Kelly came into the start with a 5.85 ERA over six starts since returning from the injured list Aug. 11, but he now has two quality starts in his last three appearances. The 35-year-old will carry a 4.00 ERA and 1.19 WHIP into his next start against the Brewers.

Senzatala (elbow) came away with a no-decision in Monday's 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks. He struck out two over three innings while allowing two earned runs on four hits and two walks.

After completing his recovery from the Tommy John procedure he underwent last July, Senzatela made his 2024 debut for the Rockies. He got off to a rough start, allowing a triple and home run to the first two batters he faced. However, Senzatela settled in nicely after that to get through three innings, though it took him 67 pitches to record his nine outs. He could see his workload ramp up while he likely makes two more starts before season's end.

Civale (7-8) earned the win against the Phillies on Monday, allowing one run on seven hits and one walk with six strikeouts over five innings.

Civale opened with four scoreless frames before surrendering a solo home run to Brandon Marsh in the fifth. The 29-year-old has gone 5-0 over his past seven outings while completing at least five innings in six of them. He owns a 3.68 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 58:21 K:BB across 63.2 innings with the Brewers and lines up to face the Diamondbacks this weekend.

Suarez (12-7) took the loss against the Brewers on Monday, allowing three runs on four hits and three walks with five strikeouts over five innings.

Suarez battled but was mostly inefficient, needing 104 pitches to get through five frames. The southpaw has walked multiple batters in three straight starts and has failed to complete six innings in each of his five outings since returning from the injured list Aug. 24. On the season, he owns a 3.13 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 139:36 K:BB across 143.2 innings and lines up to face the Mets on the road this weekend.

Pallante (7-8) got the win Monday against the Pirates, allowing four hits and one walk while striking out nine over seven scoreless innings.

Pallante was stellar on Monday as he shut down the Pirates over seven innings -- his second career start of seven or more shutout innings. Pallante also recorded a career-high nine strikeouts in the process. The 25-year-old has been a serviceable option for the Cardinals since being inserted into the rotation May 29. He's pitched to a 3.62 ERA in 99.1 innings as a starter this season.

Olson (shoulder) did not factor into the decision in Monday's 7-6 win over the Royals, allowing four runs on four hits and one walk with three strikeouts over 2.1 innings.

Olson retired the first six batters he faced but hit a wall in the third, loading the bases and surrendering a grand slam to Bobby Witt. The 25-year-old threw 29 of 50 pitches for strikes and was on a limited workload after missing nearly two months with a shoulder injury. On the season, he owns a 3.50 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 95:32 K:BB across 105.1 innings and lines up for a road matchup with the Orioles this weekend.

Lugo did not factor into the decision in Monday's 7-6 loss to the Tigers, allowing four runs on eight hits and two walks with four strikeouts over 4.2 innings.

Lugo entered the fifth frame with a 5-1 lead but was pulled after yielding four hits and three runs, including a two-run homer by Colt Keith. The 34-year-old had surrendered just two earned runs over three consecutive seven-inning efforts, but he has also yielded four earned runs or more in five of his past 10 outings. On the season, he owns a 3.05 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 173:47 K:BB across 197.2 innings and will try to eclipse the 200-inning mark for the first time in his career against the Giants this weekend.

Skenes (10-3) took the loss Monday against the Cardinals, allowing one run on four hits and one walk while striking out seven over six innings.

The Pirates failed to give Skenes any run support Monday, which spoiled an otherwise strong start by the rookie. Skenes continues to impress, as he now has 15 quality starts in his first 21 appearances. The 22-year-old has been fantastic as of late, allowing just four earned runs in his previous five starts combined. Skenes' ERA sits at a minuscule 2.07 with a 0.98 WHIP and 158 strikeouts through 126 innings.

Estes (7-8) took the loss Monday against the Cubs, allowing six runs on nine hits with one strikeout in one inning.

Estes got out of the first inning only allowing one run, but he allowed six straight hits to start the second inning before being pulled. It was Estes' shortest outing of his career, and his ERA jumped to 4.78 after the ugly night. The 22-year-old had been having a strong second half of the season, pitching to a 3.29 ERA since the All-Star break. He'll look to bounce back in his next start against the Yankees later this week.

Imanaga (14-3) got the win Monday against the A's, allowing two runs on five hits and three walks while striking out 11 over six innings.

Imanaga recorded another quality start Monday and set a new career high for strikeouts in the process. It was Imanaga's 18th quality start of the season, which ties him with Chris Sale and Aaron Nola for third most in the National League. The 31-year-old rookie now has three starts this season of 10 or more strikeouts, and all three have come after the All-Star break. Imanaga has a 3.03 ERA and 1.03 WHIP through 166.1 innings this season.
