Dunning did not factor into the decision in Monday's 4-3 win against Pittsburgh, allowing three runs on five hits and one walk over four innings. He struck out four.

The Rangers right-hander pitched well through three scoreless innings before unraveling in the fourth, when the Pirates knocked three hits, capped by Jared Triolo a three-run homer. The long ball once again undid Dunning in this start, as he has allowed 13 homers across 68 innings over 14 starts (1.7 HR/9) while yielding just two over 18.1 relief innings (1.0 HR/9). Overall, the 29-year-old has pitched to a 5.00 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 85:39 K:BB this season. Jose Urena picked up the win Thursday in relief while Max Scherzer (shoulder) and Jacob deGrom (elbow) are both rehabbing their injuries, so Dunning's place in the Texas rotation is unsteady. If he remains a starter, the righty lines up to make his next outing against the Guardians on the road this weekend.

Ryan (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Monday.

It's already been determined that Ryan will miss the remainder of this season and likely most if not all of 2025 while on the mend from Tommy John surgery, so this move is simply to open up a spot on the 40-man roster following the return of Max Muncy (oblique) from the 60-day IL.

Poteet (triceps) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Somerset on Tuesday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Poteet has been shelved since mid-June with a right triceps strain and is finally ready to test things out in a game setting. The right-hander figures to require a handful of rehab appearances and it's not clear whether the plan is to stretch him back out to start or prepare him for a bullpen role.

Detmers allowed one run on three hits and two walks over eight innings while striking out 11 batters in his start for Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday.

Detmers has been with Salt Lake since early June following a string of poor starts in the majors. His 11-punchout performance Friday was his third double-digit strikeout effort over 12 starts in the minors, and he's racked up an impressive 83 punchouts over 65 innings during that span. On the flip side, Detmers has also posted a 6.37 ERA and 1.48 WHIP, so he hasn't made the strongest case for a return to the majors. The Angels placed starter Jose Soriano on the injured list Saturday due to arm fatigue and will need a replacement for his spot in the rotation, but Hector Gomez of Z101Digital.com reports that veteran hurler Johnny Cueto will be called up from Triple-A to fill the opening rather than Detmers.

Houston manager Joe Espada said Monday that Garcia (elbow) will not return from the 60-day injured list this season, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

After undergoing Tommy John surgery in May 2023, Garcia was cleared to begin a rehab assignment in late June, but he made just two appearances before being pulled off the assignment shortly before the All-Star break. Garcia was cleared to resume throwing off the mound a couple weeks after being shut down, but he suffered another setback in late July that has now prompted the Astros to hold him out for the rest of the season. Though Houston is ruling out a return to game action for Garcia in 2024, the right-hander will resume his throwing program this weekend by playing catch. He'll shift his focus to returning to full health for the start of spring training.

DeGrom (elbow) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Tuesday before making his first rehab start Thursday for Double-A Frisco, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.

DeGrom will pitch in a game for the first time since he underwent Tommy John surgery in June 2023. The 35-year-old is expected to require several rehab starts, but he appears to be on track to return from the 60-day injured list in September. The Rangers are unlikely to contend for a playoff spot this season, but they would like to see deGrom get a few starts under his belt down the stretch to provide a gauge of what type of workload he can handle in 2025, per Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com. DeGrom also stated that it's important for him to return this season and that he looks forward to having a normal offseason.

The Guardians placed Cobb on the 15-day injured list Monday with a fractured nail on his right hand.

Cobb last pitched Wednesday, and it's not clear whether he suffered the injury that day or since then. He had been tentatively slated to start Tuesday against the Yankees, but with Cobb now on the IL, the Guardians could call up Joey Cantillo from Triple-A Columbus to take the hill Tuesday or Wednesday. Cobb has allowed six runs (five earned) over 10.1 innings in his first two starts with the Guardians.

The Blue Jays transferred Manoah (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for waiver claim Easton Lucas. Manoah will be sidelined until around the middle of next season after having a hybrid internal brace procedure to repair the sprained UCL in his right elbow back in June.

Atlanta activated Lopez (forearm) from the 15-day injured list Monday.

Lopez will rejoin the rotation Tuesday with a start against the Phillies after missing the past three weeks with right forearm inflammation. He threw 71 pitches and covered four innings in one rehab outing, so Lopez could be slightly limited from a workload perspective Tuesday.

The Reds recalled Roa from Triple-A Louisville and placed him on the 60-day injured list with a right shoulder sprain.

Roa hadn't pitched at Triple-A since Aug. 2 and landed on Louisville's 7-day IL before the Reds called him up and placed him on the 60-day IL for the purpose of opening up a spot on the 40-man roster. As a result of the transaction, the 25-year-old's season officially comes to an end. He turned in a 5.55 ERA and 47:30 K:BB over 48.2 innings covering four starts and 19 relief appearances this season with Louisville.
