Sheehan will be recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City to throw the bulk of the innings Monday against the Reds, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

The 26-year-old right-hander will return for his 21st appearance for the major-league team this season, and while he may have an opener in front of him this time around, Sheehan is expected to handle the bulk of the innings in the series opener against Cincinnati. Sheehan has posted rather pedestrian numbers in the big leagues this season (5.29 ERA, 1.29 WHIP), but he has allowed just one earned run with a 16:4 K:BB over his last two starts and 11.2 innings with Oklahoma City.

Woo (11-9) allowed one hit and two walks while striking out nine over eight shutout innings to earn the win over the Athletics on Sunday.

Woo has made some improvements on the road since the start of August, and he was able to take that momentum back home this time. He threw 73 of 102 pitches for strikes in his best and longest start of the season. This was the fifth time this year (fourth at home) in which he's covered at least seven scoreless innings while allowing four or fewer baserunners. Woo has a 4.03 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 158:33 K:BB through 156.1 innings over 27 starts on the year. His next outing is expected to be a rematch versus the Athletics in Sacramento, which is a bit concerning given Woo's 5.63 ERA on the road this year.

Jump (6-10) allowed two runs on six hits and struck out seven without walking a batter over four innings to take the loss versus the Mariners on Sunday.

Jump wasn't particularly efficient, needing 82 pitches (60 strikes) to get through his four frames. He's fallen short of the five-inning mark in four of his last seven outings, giving up 27 runs over 33.2 innings with a 38:20 K:BB in that span. The 23-year-old southpaw is at a 5.12 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 106:45 K:BB through 96.2 innings over 19 starts in the majors this year. He has totaled 134.2 innings between the majors and Triple-A in 2026, up from 111.2 frames between Double-A and High-A in 2025, so there may be some intent from the Athletics to keep his outings short. He's tentatively projected to make his next start at home in a rematch with the Mariners.

Vasquez will be available out of the San Diego bullpen beginning Monday against the Nationals, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Vasquez has pitched especially well in his last three starts, going 2-0 with a 2.16 ERA and 0.66 WHIP over 16.2 innings, but with Nick Pivetta (forearm) ready to return to the Padres' rotation, Vasquez will transition to a relief role. Pivetta stretched out to only 64 pitches in his final rehab outing, so it may be a sort of piggyback situation with Vasquez in that rotation spot, at least initially.

Leahy allowed five runs on six hits and struck out six without walking a batter over 2.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Rockies on Sunday.

Leahy has seen a planned workload reduction since mid-August, but this was the first time he's had a truly bad outing in a while. Prior to Sunday, he hadn't given up more than two runs in any game since June 17 versus the Padres. Leahy is now at a 3.41 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 124:38 K:BB through 132 innings over 27 starts. The right-hander will be tough to trust in fantasy if he continues to work as a starter, which will reduce his chances to pick up wins in September. His next appearance is projected to be at home versus the White Sox.

Mahle did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Phillies, allowing two unearned runs on four hits and one walk with three strikeouts over six innings.

Mahle allowed two unearned runs in the first inning but settled in from there, throwing 61 of 94 pitches for strikes with 12 whiffs. The 31-year-old has been stellar since being traded, posting a 1.24 ERA with five quality starts in six outings. Overall, he holds a 4.05 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 124:43 K:BB across 131 innings with Atlanta and San Francisco this season and lines up for a home rematch with the Phillies next weekend.

Nola did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 5-4 loss to Atlanta, allowing one run on four hits and one walk with five strikeouts over seven innings.

Nola allowed a run in the sixth inning and departed in line for the win, throwing 65 of 93 pitches for strikes with 11 whiffs. The veteran hurler has now yielded two earned runs or fewer in six straight outings, delivering quality starts in three of those contests. He'll take a 4.76 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 162:52 K:BB across 155 innings this season into a road rematch with Atlanta next weekend.

Gore allowed five runs on six hits and three walks while striking out one over three-plus innings in a no-decision versus the Rays on Sunday.

Neither of Gore or Ian Seymour was able to provide much length as starters. The Rays' four-run second inning did much of the damage on Gore's line. He's now allowed 13 runs over his last 23.2 innings across five starts, falling short of the five-inning mark twice in that span. For the season, Gore has a 4.51 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 170:63 K:BB across 157.2 innings through 30 starts. He is projected to make his next start at Arizona.

The Astros transferred Burrows (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Sunday.

Burrows' move to the 60-day IL opens a 40-man roster spot for Jorge Barrosa, who was claimed off waivers from the Diamondbacks. While this transaction itself does not take Burrows out through the remainder of the regular season, he recently experienced a setback with his shoulder while rehabbing an elbow injury at Triple-A, and it's unclear at this point if he will make it back in 2026.

Singer (6-13) earned the win against the Brewers on Sunday, allowing six runs on four hits and six walks with three strikeouts over five innings.

Singer benefited from an offensive explosion by the Reds, as he set season highs in walks and earned runs allowed. While the 30-year-old has generally worked deep into games, he's now yielded three earned runs or more in nine straight starts and owns a 5.53 ERA in the second half. He'll carry a 5.03 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 120:51 K:BB across 146.2 innings this season into a road rematch with the Brewers next weekend.
