Lorenzen did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Cardinals, allowing four runs (two earned) on eight hits and three walks while striking out one over 4.1 innings.

Lorenzen struggled with traffic throughout the afternoon and was fortunate to escape with only four runs charged to him, two of which were earned. The veteran right-hander has now surrendered at least seven hits in four consecutive starts while failing to complete five innings in any of them. It's been a brutal season overall for Lorenzen, who owns a 6.83 ERA, 1.87 WHIP and 81:46 K:BB across 112 innings. He's slated to make his next start on the road against the Giants.

Dobbins is slated to start Monday's game against the Phillies in St. Louis.

After getting demoted to Triple-A Memphis on July 28, Dobbins was recalled just under a week later when the Cardinals opened up a spot for him in the rotation by trading Dustin May to the Brewers ahead of the deadline. Dobbins ended up making his fifth start of the campaign for St. Louis in Tuesday's loss to the Yankees, covering a season-high 6.1 innings while striking out four batters and yielding two earned runs on four hits and three walks. The right-hander should have a chance at sticking around in the Cardinals rotation for the balance of the season, though prospect Quinn Mathews looms as an alternative at the Triple-A level if Dobbins can't get the job done.

Painter (hamstring) is listed as the Phillies' probable starter for Monday's game in St. Louis.

Painter was forced out of his most recent start in Wednesday's loss to the Nationals after four innings due to left hamstring tightness, but his early exit was deemed precautionary. The young right-hander cleared up any concern about his health by completing a bullpen session Saturday without issue. He's not expected to face any restrictions Monday as he takes the hill for the first of what will likely be two starts during the upcoming week. The second half of the double dip is expected to come Sunday, when he'll tentatively line up to start the Phillies' series finale in Minnesota.

McGreevy did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Rockies, allowing three runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out four over 5.2 innings.

McGreevy held Colorado to just one run through his first five innings, despite pitching through traffic for much of the afternoon, before Brett Sullivan's two-run homer in the sixth inning ultimately chased him from the game. The right-hander has struggled to keep runners off base since the All-Star break, posting a 1.73 WHIP across 24.1 innings over five starts while failing to record a win during that stretch. McGreevy will carry a 3.64 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 85:32 K:BB across 126 innings into his next scheduled start Saturday against the Cubs.

Sinnard (abdomen) has allowed four earned runs on six hits and four walks while striking out four batters over six innings in two starts for High-A Rome since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list July 28.

Sinnard spent about six weeks on the shelf while recovering from an abdominal strain. The right-hander's control has been shaky over his first two starts coming off the IL, but he's still holding down a 3.32 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 25:9 K:BB in 21.2 innings for Rome this season.

Kikuchi (shoulder) struck out seven and allowed four runs on six hits and one walk across 3.1 innings in a rehab start Sunday with Triple-A Salt Lake.

Kikuchi was making the third start of minor-league rehab assignment as he works his way back from left shoulder inflammation, which has kept him on the shelf since May 3. The southpaw built up to 69 pitches Sunday, and though he appears to be stretched out enough to handle a traditional starting role, the Angels may want him to show improved results in the minors before adding him back to the big-league rotation. Kikuchi has looked shaky in all three of his rehab outings thus far, compiling a 15.75 ERA, 2.63 WHIP and 16:6 K:BB in eight innings.

Cantillo took a no-decision against the White Sox on Sunday, allowing one run on three hits and no walks in one inning. He struck out three.

Sunday's game was delayed for over two hours in the second inning due to inclement weather, and the Guardians chose not to send Cantillo back to the hill upon resumption. The southpaw experienced a laborious first frame, throwing 31 pitches, but he at least managed to record three punchouts before his day ended. Cantillo, who has a 3.91 ERA, a troublesome 1.48 WHIP and 132:56 K:BB over 119.2 innings, should be well-rested for his next scheduled outing against the Padres.

Martin took a no-decision against the Guardians on Sunday, allowing two runs (one earned) on two hits and one walk in one inning. He struck out one.

Sunday's contest stalled for over two hours in the second inning due to rain, and the White Sox opted not to put Martin back on the bump following the delay. A fielding error by Braden Montgomery in right field enabled an unearned run to come across in the opening frame, and Martin has now surrendered a whopping 18 earned runs over his past four starts (17 innings). The right-hander should be fresh for his next scheduled outing in Detroit, but he's limped since the beginning of June to a 6.83 ERA, 1.73 WHIP and 37:24 K:BB across his last 12 appearances (55.1 innings).

Rodriguez (3-5) took the loss against the Marlins on Sunday, allowing four runs (three earned) on four hits and four walks with eight strikeouts over four innings.

Rodriguez allowed three runs in the first inning and struggled with his control, throwing just 47 of 83 pitches for strikes and issuing four walks. On the other hand, he generated an impressive 15 whiffs and tallied a season-high eight punchouts. It comes on the heels of consecutive two-run outings from the 26-year-old, who's been unable to register a win in five starts since the All-Star break. He'll take a 7.20 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 50:26 K across 55 innings this season into a home matchup with the Royals next weekend.

Glasnow (back) pitched 2.2 innings, allowing one run on one hit and a walk while striking out two batters in Sunday's rehab start with Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Glasnow made the second start of his minor-league rehab assignment, and he was able to notch 26 strikes over 47 total pitches. The team had set a goal of roughly three innings and 45 pitches for the right-hander, so he fulfilled what was expected. Glasnow will need to make at least one more start at the minor-league level before he'd be in a position to be activated from the 60-day injured list.
