Webb escaped with a no-decision in Tuesday's wild 13-12 loss to the Pirates, surrendering nine runs on nine hits and two walks over two-plus innings. He struck out one.

Pittsburgh put nine runs on the board in the third inning without getting any extra-base hits, chasing Webb from the game after seven straight batters reached base on five singles and two walks. It was his shortest outing of the season, and the nine runs allowed were a career worst for the right-hander. Webb is struggling to get to the finish line in 2026 -- he's failed to last three frames in two of his last three starts, with his ERA rising from 3.50 to 4.21 during that rough stretch. He'll try to turn things around in his next trip to the mound, which is set to come on the road this weekend against the Mets.

Hill (1-3) earned the win in relief Tuesday against the Orioles after allowing one run on one hit while striking out one over one inning.

Hill surrendered a two-out solo homer to Jackson Holliday in the seventh, which erased Colorado's 2-1 advantage. The Rockies immediately responded in the bottom half when TJ Rumfield launched a go-ahead two-run homer, allowing Hill to collect his first win of the season. Hill returned from the injured list Aug. 19 following a bout of right shoulder tendinitis, and he's given up one run or zero in four of his five appearances since then.

The Pirates signed Herrera to a minor-league contract Tuesday.

Herrera will supplement the Pirates' organizational catching depth in the final month. He had been at Triple-A Round Rock in the Rangers organization, where he put up a .665 OPS in 40 contests.

Hughes allowed one run on four hits and two walks while striking out four across 4.2 innings Tuesday against the Orioles. He didn't factor into the decision.

Hughes held the Orioles to one run but couldn't make it through the fifth. The Orioles loaded the bases with two outs in that frame, prompting Colorado to summon Brennan Bernardino, who retired Gunnar Henderson to preserve the 2-1 lead. Hughes lowered his ERA to 6.19 with this outing, and this was the first time he didn't give up multiple earned runs since July 22. Hughes projects to make his next start on the road against the Yankees next week.

Pagan recorded his 20th save of the season in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Padres, giving up one run on one hit and striking out one in the ninth inning.

Fernando Tatis took him deep, marking the second straight appearance in which Pagan served up a homer, but the veteran reliever still closed the door to reach the 20-save plateau for the second straight season and the third time in his career. Pagan hasn't blown a save chance since returning at the beginning of July from a hamstring strain, converting 14 straight opportunities while posting a 2.66 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 24:3 K:BB over 20.1 innings.

Atlanta designated Harris for assignment Wednesday.

The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Elieser Hernandez. Harris has had major control problems in the minors this season, issuing 37 walks over 48.2 frames to go along with a 5.55 ERA between Double-A Columbus and Triple-A Gwinnett. However, the lefty has also struck out 64 batters during that time, and he boasts a career 35.1 percent strikeout rate in the minors. There should be interest in Harris via waivers.

Lodolo didn't factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks over six innings in a 4-3 victory over the Padres. He struck out five.

It was Lodolo's first quality start since July 5, and his best performance since returning from the IL in mid-August with a new grip on his breaking ball to try and avoid further blisters. Over five starts since being activated, the southpaw has stumbled to a 6.45 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 19:8 K:BB in 22.1 innings. Lodolo will try to build on Tuesday's effort in his next outing, which lines up to come on the road early next week against the Dodgers.

Atlanta selected Hernandez's contract from Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.

Hernandez will provide some length out of the Atlanta bullpen. The right-handed hurler has yielded one run with a 6:4 K:BB over six innings covering two relief outings with the big club in 2026.

Romano struck out two in a perfect ninth inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 4-2 victory over the Orioles.

Romano was handed a two-run advantage and had no trouble protecting it, striking out Colton Cowser and Blaze Alexander before getting Holliday to fly out to finish the game. The right-hander needed just 17 pitches (11 strikes) to retire the side in order and collected his 14th save of the season. Romano owns a 4.50 ERA overall this season but has posted a 2.00 ERA since joining Colorado.

Tatis went 2-for-5 with two solo home runs in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Reds.

Hitting leadoff and playing second base, Tatis took Nick Lodolo deep in the fifth inning to give the Padres a brief 2-1 lead before driving an Emilio Pagan fastball over the right-field fence in the ninth. It's the third two-homer effort from Tatis in the last 13 games, and his early-season power drought is a distant memory -- over his last 25 contests, Tatis boasts a .290/.345/.680 slash line with 11 home runs, five steals, 20 RBI and 21 runs.
