  • Ranger Suarez SP | BOS

    Phillies' Ranger Suarez: Strikes out 10 in no-decision

    Suarez did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing three runs on two hits and three walks over 6.1 innings against the Marlins. He struck out 10.

    Suarez was dominant for most of his start Sunday, blanking the Marlins through six innings while racking up a season-high 10 strikeouts. However, the 28-year-old Suarez would be charged with three runs in the seventh, forcing him to settle for a no-decision. The left-hander is still looking for his first win since June 27, though he'd held opponents to two runs or fewer in his prior four outings, working to a 2.82 ERA in that span. Overall, Suarez is 2-6 with a 3.93 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 104:40 K:BB across 19 starts (107.2 innings) this season. He's lined up for a road matchup with the Cardinals in his next outing.

  • Dodgers' David Peralta: X-rays negative

    Peralta (elbow) underwent X-rays that came back negative Sunday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

    Peralta exited Sunday's game against the Nationals after being hit by a pitch in the second inning, but he was initially diagnosed with a bruised left elbow and doesn't appear to be dealing with any structural damage. He'll be re-evaluated when the team returns to Los Angeles, but he should tentatively be considered day-to-day ahead of Monday's series opener against the Padres.

  • Joey Wiemer RF | WAS

    Brewers' Joey Wiemer: Dealing with laceration in mouth

    Wiemer sustained a laceration in his mouth on a collision during Sunday's game against the Yankees, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Wiemer entered Sunday's matchup as a defensive replacement in the bottom of the ninth inning and went 1-for-1 with a double, a run and an RBI in the extra-innings loss. He sustained his injury during an outfield collision, but it's unclear whether he'll be forced to miss additional time. He should tentatively be considered day-to-day ahead of Monday's series opener against Miami.

  • Ryan Yarbrough RP | NYY

    Dodgers' Ryan Yarbrough: Heading to paternity list

    Manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Yarbrough will be placed on the paternity list in the near future, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Yarbrough started Sunday's game against the Nationals and allowed two runs on five hits and no walks while striking out five in four innings. However, he'll now be away from the team for at least three days following the birth of his child. The Dodgers are expected to make the move official Monday and plan to call up Gavin Stone from Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding transaction.

  • Gavin Stone SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Gavin Stone: Set to start Monday

    Stone will be called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City to start Monday's game against the Padres, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Clayton Kershaw was initially slated to start Monday, but his start was pushed back to Friday to better line up his appearances for late in the season ahead of the playoffs. As a result, Stone will rejoin the major-league club, while Ryan Yarbrough will be placed on the paternity list in a corresponding move. Stone has had a lackluster start to his big-league career, posting a 10.50 ERA and 2.28 WHIP in 18 innings over five appearances (three starts). If he performs well Monday, Stone could end up temporarily sticking around as the Dodgers' No. 5 starter over Emmet Sheehan.

  • Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw: Next start pushed back

    Kershaw will have his next start pushed back to Friday against the Mariners, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Kershaw was initially slated to start Monday against the Padres, but he'll be pushed back to late in the week. While the left-hander recently dealt with a shoulder issue, manager Dave Roberts emphasized Sunday that the move wasn't made due to a setback but rather to line up Kershaw's starts better late in the season. Gavin Stone will be called up to start Monday's matchup, with Ryan Yarbrough slated to hit the paternity list.

  • Corbin Burnes SP | ARI

    Brewers' Corbin Burnes: Sustains sprained ankle

    Burnes was removed from Sunday's start against the Yankees due to a sprained left ankle, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Burnes struck out seven in eight no-hit innings during Sunday's matchup, but he suffered an ankle injury while making an inning-ending out in the seventh. Although he's sore, he expects to be fine for his next start, which tentatively lines up for next weekend at home against the Nationals.

  • Mets' Francisco Alvarez: Managing hand issue

    Alvarez underwent an X-ray on his hand that came back negative following Sunday's win over the Twins, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

    Alvarez was removed from Sunday's matchup in the bottom of the seventh inning after going 1-for-1 while also being hit by a pitch. He's dealing with a hand injury but doesn't appear to be dealing with structural damage. The 21-year-old should tentatively be considered day-to-day ahead of Monday's series opener against the Diamondbacks.

  • Elias Diaz C | TEX

    Rockies' Elias Diaz: Receives Sunday off

    Diaz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at San Francisco.

    Diaz started the first two games of the series against the Giants and will take a seat for the finale after going 2-for-8 with a double, a home run, three RBI and two runs. Austin Wynns will step in behind the plate to catch for Peter Lambert.

  • Rockies' Brendan Rodgers: Not in Sunday's lineup

    Rodgers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Rodgers rejoined the lineup Friday after missing most of the week with an illness, and he's back on the bench Sunday for the second straight game. Alan Trejo will handle the keystone in the series finale at San Francisco.
