McGreevy (7-9) earned the win Sunday over the White Sox, allowing one run on three hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out six.

McGreevy turned in another strong start Sunday, as he held the White Sox to a lone second-inning run. The right-hander has now turned in back-to-back quality starts, allowing just three earned runs across 12.2 innings in that span, after giving up 11 runs in 10 innings in his prior two outings. McGreevy's ERA now sits at 3.83 across 29 starts (160 innings) this season with a 1.24 WHIP and 112:45 K:BB. He's currently lined up to face the Nationals at home his next time out.

Hill is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

Hill started the previous five games and will get a day off after going 1-for-19 with a double and two walks during that stretch. Drew Gilbert, Jonah Cox and Jung Hoo Lee are starting from left to right in the outfield while Scott Bandura makes his MLB debut as the designated hitter.

Sinclair earned the save in Friday's 6-5 win over the Angels, allowing one run on one hit while striking out one batter in the ninth inning.

Erik Tolman was brought out for the eighth inning, so the Nationals turned to Sinclair to protect their two-run lead in the ninth. Sinclair allowed a leadoff double to Nathaniel Lowe, who came home to score two batters later, but Sinclair secured the victory for Washington after getting Zach Neto to strike out. It was the first save of Sinclair's major-league career, and through his first five big-league appearances, he has allowed one run on two hits and three walks while striking out five across 5.1 innings.

The Giants selected Bandura's contract from Triple-A Sacramento, and he's batting fifth as the designated hitter Sunday against the Padres.

The 27-year-old will get his first look in the majors after posting an .895 OPS with 13 homers and 34 steals in 131 games between the Double-A and Triple-A levels this year. Bandura fills the roster spot vacated by Rafael Devers, who was placed on the 60-day IL on Sunday due to a core muscle injury.

Cornelio allowed one hit and one walk while striking out four across two scoreless innings as the Nationals' opener in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Angels.

Cornelio struck out two batters in each of the two frames he pitched in, keeping the Angels off the board before turning things over to Jake Irvin for the third frame. Cornelio has been the Nationals' opener in each of his last two outings, striking out eight batters over five innings in that span. The 26-year-old right-hander could see a couple more starts before the conclusion of the 2026 regular season.

Waldschmidt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

Waldschmidt started the first two games of the series and will receive a day off for the finale while in the midst of a 1-for-19 slump. Lars Nootbaar is manning left field Sunday while Gabriel Moreno rests his legs as the designated hitter.

Manager Torey Lovullo announced Sunday that Soroka will start Tuesday's game against the Marlins, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports.

The right-hander piggybacked Zac Gallen Wednesday against the Royals as both pitchers returned from the injured list, but it'll be Soroka who works out of the rotation moving forward. The 29-year-old has been a reliable starter for Arizona when available this year with a 3.53 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 95:25 K:BB over 99.1 innings.

The Giants placed Devers on the 60-day injured list Sunday due to a core muscle injury.

The veteran slugger has apparently been playing through the injury for much of the season, per Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News, and he won't push through it further and is now scheduled to be evaluated more in-depth Monday. The injury didn't appear to affect Devers' production, as he rebounded from a slow start to finish the year with 37 homers, 98 RBI, 88 runs and an .865 OPS in 148 games.

Manager Torey Lovullo announced Sunday that Gallen will work out of the bullpen moving forward, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports.

The right-hander returned to the rotation Wednesday after missing two months due to an elbow injury, but he'll be shifted to a relief role after giving up two runs (one earned) on four hits and two walks over 3.1 innings. Michael Soroka piggybacked Gallen in that game and will re-enter the rotation Tuesday against the Marlins. It's been a career-worst campaign for Gallen, who has a 6.22 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 62:33 K:BB across 101.1 innings.

Lowe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

The 32-year-old will hit the bench Sunday as Pittsburgh rolls out a righty-heavy lineup versus Chicago southpaw Matthew Boyd. Lowe has a .608 OPS in 190 plate appearances against left-handed pitching this season, and he could see limited opportunities against them down the stretch given that he's now sat in three of the Pirates' past six games versus lefty starters.
