Harrison did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's loss to Atlanta, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out six over five innings.

Harrison surrendered two runs in the second, with one coming on a solo home run from Ramon Laureano. Travis d'Arnaud would then get a hold of one in the third for another solo blast to put Atlanta up 3-1. Harrison worked through another two scoreless frames before his night was over after 89 pitches. Since returning from injury July 6, Harrison has made it to six innings just once in seven starts and has given up six home runs over his last three outings. For the year, the 23-year-old lefty owns a 4.14 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 103:36 K:BB in 111 innings and lines up for a favorable matchup against the White Sox to begin next week.

Lopez (forearm) allowed three runs while striking out four over four innings in a rehab start with Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.

Lopez threw 71 pitches in the outing and averaged 94.5 mph with his four-seamer, down a tick from his season average. It should be the only rehab start Lopez needs, with the righty likely to return to the Atlanta rotation either Sunday on the road against the Angels or Tuesday at home versus the Phillies. Lopez has been out since late July with right forearm inflammation.

King (10-6) got the win over the Pirates on Tuesday after allowing seven hits over six scoreless innings. He struck out 10 without issuing a walk.

King posted his fourth outing of the season with at least 10 strikeouts and his fourth of at least six innings with zero earned runs allowed. He struck out the side in the second and fourth innings and allowed the Pirates to put runners into scoring position only twice. Since May 1, King is second in the majors among all starting pitchers with a 3.6 fWAR and has a 1.91 ERA over his last seven starts. He has just two starts since May 4 with fewer than five strikeouts and has been a massive addition to the San Diego rotation after coming over in the Juan Soto trade. For the year, King owns a 3.19 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 161:47 K:BB in 135.1 innings. He lines up to face the Twins at home to begin next week.

Spiers is slated to work in bulk relief behind opening pitcher Emilio Pagan in Wednesday's game against the Cardinals, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Spiers had started in each of his last eight appearances, but he'll shift to the bullpen for at least one turn through the rotation after he was lit up for eight earned runs over five innings in a loss to the Brewers his last time out Friday. Pagan isn't expected to work more than an inning before turning the game over to Spiers.

Gomber did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's loss to the Diamondbacks, allowing two runs on six hits and a walk while striking out four over six innings.

Both runs against Gomber came in the third inning when he gave up a pair of singles and a double sandwiched around two groundouts. Gomber had given up a home run in each of his last seven starts but was able to keep the ball in the park Tuesday night and notched just his second quality start over his last six outings. The 30-year-old lefty now owns a 4.82 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 89:30 K:BB in 125 innings and lines up to face the Nationals on the road next week.

Rodriguez did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's win over the Rockies, allowing three runs on six hits and a walk while striking out five over five innings.

Rodriguez got through the first inning on just seven pitches but couldn't replicate the same success in the next two frames. The Rockies would string together all six of their hits against Rodriguez in the second and third, leading to three runs. The left-hander was able to settle back in and retire the last seven batters he faced before his day was done after throwing 83 pitches. He's now given up three runs in both starts since returning from a long-term absence due to a shoulder injury, though Tuesday he was able to keep the ball in the park and upped his strikeouts numbers while generating 11 whiffs. He's at a 5.06 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 6:3 K:BB in 10.2 innings and lines up to face the Marlins in a start next week.

Morris gave up one earned run over six innings with two strikeouts and one walk Tuesday for St. Paul after being promoted to Triple-A.

Morris had a 1.90 ERA in 61.2 innings with a 63:14 K:BB at Double-A Wichita after being promoted from High-A in May. A strong final month at Triple-A could have him contending for a spot in the majors next spring.

Gausman (11-8) allowed six hits and two walks while striking out five over seven scoreless innings to earn the win Tuesday over the Angels.

Gausman has pitched into the seventh inning in five of his last six starts, but this was his most impressive outing in that span. While he's walked multiple batters in five straight starts, he hasn't lost since July 5. The right-hander trimmed his ERA to 4.20 with a 1.26 WHIP and 126:41 K:BB through 139.1 innings over 24 starts this season. His next outing is projected to be at home versus the Reds.

Warren will be recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to start Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.

Although Warren was lit up for eight earned runs in just 4.1 innings during his second MLB start against the Angels last Wednesday before being returned to Triple-A, the Yankees will turn to him again to get them through the series finale. In addition to his poor big-league performance, the 25-year-old righty owns a 6.11 ERA and 1.41 WHIP through 95.2 innings in Triple-A. He will have the benefit of facing the worst offense in the majors, but he is still not a recommended streaming option. The Yankees are likely to send Warren back to Triple-A following Wednesday's contest.

Cortes (6-10) allowed three hits and struck out nine without walking a batter over seven scoreless innings to earn the win Tuesday over the White Sox.

Cortes had given up at least three runs in each of his five previous starts, but a matchup with the Pale Hose proved to be just what he needed to have a good outing. The nine strikeouts matched his season high, and this was the first time since June 23 that he was able to avoid issuing a walk. Cortes is now at a 4.20 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 133:29 K:BB through 141.1 innings over 25 starts this season. He'll look to build off this start in his next outing, which is tentatively expected to be at home versus the Guardians.
