The Rockies placed Hudson on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to right elbow inflammation.

Hudson was called up for his 18th start of the season Saturday versus Atlanta and surrendered five runs on three hits and four walks over 2.2 innings in a no-decision. The 29-year-old may not reclaim a spot in the Colorado rotation once healthy, given his 6.17 ERA and 49:50 K:BB over 89 innings this season.

The Brewers reinstated Hall (knee) from the 60-day injured list Sunday. He'll start in Milwaukee's series finale with Cincinnati.

Milwaukee already has five healthy starters, so unless manager Pat Murphy plans to expand the rotation to six men, Hall could be headed to the bullpen following Sunday's outing, which will be his first with the big club since April 20. Before landing on the IL due to a left knee sprain, Hall's spot in the rotation may have already been on thin ice, as he submitted a 7.71 ERA and 2.27 WHIP across 16.1 innings over his four starts with the big club this season. The left-hander displayed better form over the final three outings of his rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville, logging a 2.77 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 12:6 K:BB across 13 innings. Hall topped out at five innings and 76 pitches during his rehab assignment, so he shouldn't be operating under any significant workload restrictions Sunday.

Corbin came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Angels, giving up four runs on eight hits and three walks over four-plus innings. He struck out two.

The 35-year-old lefty remains arguably the worst regular starter in MLB. Corbin has a rough 7.25 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 32:10 K:BB through seven starts and 36 innings since the beginning of July, and his 5.98 ERA on the season is the highest in the majors among qualified pitchers. Should Cade Cavalli (elbow) make it back before the end of the season, it'll likely be Corbin who gets bumped from the rotation to make room for him, but until then the Nationals don't seem to have any better options. Corbin lines up to make his next trip to the mound on the road next weekend in Philadelphia.

Manaea (8-5) took the loss against the Mariners on Saturday, allowing three runs on four hits and five walks over three innings while striking out three.

All three runs charged to Manaea came across in the opening frame when the right-hander surrendered hits to four of the first six batters he faced, including three doubles, while also allowing a runner to advance on a wild pitch. He would manage to get through the next two innings unscathed but was relieved by Huascar Brazoban to open the fourth after throwing 85 pitches through three innings. It marked the shortest outing of the season for Manaea after hurling 14 scoreless frames over his previous two starts, while the five walks on the night matched his season high.

Canning came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 5-4 extra-inning loss to the Nationals, giving up four runs on eight hits over seven innings. He didn't walk or strike out a batter.

The right-hander managed only seven swinging strikes among his 88 pitches as he let his defense do all the work, but Canning saw a potential win slip away when he got tagged for two runs in the seventh to tie the game at 4-4. It's the first time all season he's failed to record a strikeout, and the first time he didn't issued a free pass since April 13. Canning remains a mediocre fantasy option, posting a 6.17 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 30:15 K:BB through 35 innings since the beginning of July, and he lines up to make his next start at home next weekend against Atlanta.

Gilbert (7-8) earned the win over the Mets on Saturday, hurling seven shutout innings while allowing three hits and one walk. He struck out six.

Gilbert didn't allow a runner to reach second base over the course of his seven shutout frames, posting three 1-2-3 innings on the night while generating 15 swings-and-misses. It marked the right-hander's fifth outing this season in which he's hurled at least seven scoreless innings and the second in his past five starts. Gilbert has also surrendered one run or fewer in four of his last five outings, posting a 34:2 K:BB over that stretch.

Munoz came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 9-8 extra-inning loss to the Padres, giving up three runs on six hits over five innings. He struck out three without walking a batter.

The rookie right-hander left the game after 87 pitches (53 strikes) with the Marlins ahead 7-3, but the bullpen couldn't secure the win for him. Munoz hasn't lasted more than five innings in five straight outings, posting a poor 6.08 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 20:9 K:BB through 23.2 innings over that stretch, but Miami doesn't have any better, healthier options to replace him in the rotation. He lines up to make his next start on the road next weekend against the Mets.

Waldron came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 9-8 extra-inning win over the Marlins, surrendering five runs on five hits and two walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out five.

Miami erupted for six runs in the fifth inning and chased the knuckleballer from the game after 83 pitches (51 strikes), but San Diego's hitters were able to bail Waldron out in the late innings before winning it in the 10th. The 27-year-old has failed to last six innings in three straight starts, a stretch in which he's stumbled to a 7.07 ERA despite a 1.21 WHIP and 18:5 K:BB through 14 innings. Waldron could have a hard time turning things around in his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road next weekend against the Rockies -- although he did deliver a quality start in his first career appearance at Coors Field back on April 24, allowing only one run over six innings.

Skenes (6-2) took the loss against the Dodgers on Saturday, allowing four runs on six hits and one walk over six innings. He struck out eight.

The Dodgers were able to get to Skenes early, tagging the rookie sensation for a run in the opening frame, two more in the third and another in the fifth, all coming across with two outs. The four runs allowed marked a season high for the right-hander and he's now taken a loss in two of his last three starts. On a positive note, Skenes was able to generate 13 swings-and-misses on the night while striking out at least eight batters for the 10th time in his last 12 outings.

Cole came away with a no-decision in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Rangers, allowing one run on six hits and two walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out 10.

The veteran right-hander generated a massive 26 swinging strikes on his 90 pitches as he recorded his first game of the season with double-digit strikeouts, but Cole left the mound with the score tied 1-1 and watched Luke Weaver immediately implode as his replacement. Cole has failed to last six innings in each of his last three outings, but the 33-year-old appears to be rounding into form after only making his season debut in mid-June -- he's given up two runs or less in four of his last five trips to the mound, posting a 3.45 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 33:6 K:BB through 28.2 innings over that stretch. He lines up to make his next start on the road next weekend in Detroit.
