Webb didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Orioles, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out eight.

Webb got off to a strong start against Baltimore, allowing just two baserunners through his first three scoreless innings. However, the right-hander allowed the first three batters to reach in the fourth, ultimately allowing three runs in the frame. While Webb's eight strikeouts matched a season high, he's now allowed three or more runs in each of his last five outings while posting a 6.57 ERA in that span. Webb's ERA now sits at 3.58 on the season with a 1.24 WHIP and 169:49 K:BB. He'll likely make one more start this season, tentatively lined up for early next week in Arizona.

Rea will start Friday's game versus the Diamondbacks, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Rea's last appearance came in relief Monday, and since the Brewers previously hadn't committed to a starter for Friday, the right-hander looked like he could end up sticking in the bullpen for the rest of the season. Milwaukee will ultimately turn to Rea to fill the fifth spot in the rotation on three days' rest, though he's still likely on the outside looking in for a starting role during the postseason. Rea holds a 6.82 ERA over his last seven appearances (six starts).

Marte is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Phillies, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.

The Mets have been careful not to overload Marte with too much playing time since he returned from a knee injury last month. This is the third time he's been out of the lineup over the last five games, although he missed one of those due to a minor forearm issue. Jesse Winker is in right field for the series opener Thursday.

The Marlins designated Devers for assignment Thursday, Isaac Azout of FishOnFirst.com reports.

Devers was recalled at the start of September but has played sparingly this month while dealing with a hand injury. The 24-year-old slashed just .228/.293/.360 across 209 plate appearances this season with Triple-A Jacksonville.

The Marlins optioned Hensley to Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday, Isaac Azout of FishOnFirst.com reports.

Since arriving from Triple-A in late July, Hensley has turned in a .212/.293/.288 slash line with one homer and four RBI across 58 plate appearances. He'll now be sent back to the minors as Derek Hill (shoulder) returns from the injured list, and it's unlikely Hensley makes another appearance for the Marlins over the final 10 games of the season.

The Marlins activated Hill (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list Thursday, Isaac Azout of FishOnFirst.com reports.

Hill missed the previous two weeks of action with an impingement in his left (non-throwing) shoulder but has been cleared to return after playing two rehab games with Triple-A Jacksonville. The 28-year-old was receiving regular run in the outfield prior to getting hurt, but the Marlins figure to prioritize Jesus Sanchez, Kyle Stowers and Griffin Conine over Hill down the stretch.

Hernandez isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Thursday's game versus Miami.

Hernandez went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in Wednesday's win, putting an end to his six-game hitting streak. He'll now get a chance to catch his breath while Chris Taylor starts in left field and bats ninth.

The Marlins activated Brujan (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list Thursday, Isaac Azout of FishOnFirst.com reports.

Brujan has been out all month due to a right shoulder AC joint sprain but is ready to return after playing a couple rehab games with Triple-A Jacksonville. He should see a good amount of playing time down the stretch in a super-utility role.

Rojas (leg) isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Thursday's game against the Marlins.

A sore left leg prevented Rojas from playing in Wednesday's contest, and he'll need at least one more day to recover. Tommy Edman will move to shortstop while Rojas sits, allowing Andy Pages to pick up a start in center field and bat eighth.

Tatis went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 4-0 win against Houston on Wednesday.

Tatis struck out in each of his first three at-bats but came up clutch in his final plate appearance, swatting a solo shot that ended up being the first of back-to-back-to-back homers by San Diego. The long ball extended Tatis' hitting streak to eight games, during which he's slashed .364/.382/.848 with five home runs, nine RBI, nine runs and two stolen bases. Tatis has either hit a homer or swiped a bag in all but one game during that span.
