Suarez (12-6) allowed a hit and three walks over six shutout frames Tuesday, striking out 12 and earning a win over the Mets.

Suarez rolled through the Mets' lineup with ease and let only one runner reach scoring position. He racked up a season-high 12 punchouts and has double-digit strikeouts in three of his last five outings. Suarez did not produce double-digit strikeouts in any of his first 18 starts. Over his last five appearances, he's 4-0 with a 0.88 ERA over 30.2 innings. Suarez has dropped his season ERA to 2.77 with a 140:33 K:BB through 143 innings. He's currently projected for a road matchup with the Dodgers next week.

Bellozo was pulled from Tuesday's game against the Nationals with right triceps tightness, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.

Bellozo gave up two hits and struck out a batter across two-plus innings out of the bullpen Tuesday before his triceps forced him out during the ninth. The severity of his injury remains unknown, though the Marlins will presumably stay away from using Bellozo in relief over the next couple of days.

Winn was scratched from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Mariners due to right knee pain, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Winn's knee has given him problems throughout the season, most recently preventing him from playing Aug. 24 against the Rays. He'll get another day off Tuesday to manage his injury, and his sudden absence will move Thomas Saggese to shortstop while Jose Fermin enters as the Cardinals' second baseman.

Dollander underwent an MRI on his left knee Tuesday, Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette reports.

Dollander said after his start Monday that his sore left knee was beginning to affect his command and velocity, per Henry, so the Rockies pulled him after he made it through five innings of one-run ball. The team brought him in for imaging to determine whether the right-hander's injury is the result of a structural issue, and the results of the test will help determine his availability for his next scheduled start -- tentatively scheduled to come Saturday in San Diego.

Bernabel was placed on the 7-day concussion injured list Tuesday, Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette reports.

Bernabel suffered a head injury in Monday's contest against the Dodgers, which is now understood to be a concussion. The 23-year-old will be forced to miss at least a week of action while recovering. In the meantime, Michael Toglia was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday to replace Bernabel on the active roster.

Toglia was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday, Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette reports.

Toglia will return to the big leagues after being sent down to Albuquerque on Aug. 3 and batting .367 with six home runs, 17 RBI and 16 runs scored over 25 contests following his demotion. The 27-year-old will replace Warming Bernabel (concussion) on the major-league roster after Bernabel was placed on the 7-day injured list Tuesday.

Contreras (suspension) was added to the active roster and will bat fourth while starting at first base Tuesday against Seattle.

Contreras' six-game suspension was reduced to four games following an appeal, which will allow him to return for the second game of St. Louis' series against the Mariners. The 33-year-old's .786 OPS represents his worst mark since he joined the Cardinals in 2023, though he went 5-for-18 with a homer and five RBI across his last five games before serving his suspension.

Adams exited Tuesday's contest against the Marlins in the bottom of the second inning with an apparent groin injury, Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post reports.

Adams took a foul ball off of his inner groin in the second, ultimately requiring him to exit the game. The catcher went hitless in his only at-bat, and he was replaced behind the plate by Jorge Alfaro.

The Padres optioned Jacob to Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.

Michael King (knee) was activated from the 15-day injured list and is starting Tuesday, so Jacob was optioned to make room. Jacob made three appearances after being recalled Sept. 2, allowing one earned run on two hits with a 3:3 K:BB across 3.1 innings.

The Padres reinstated King (knee) from the injured list ahead of his start Tuesday against the Diamondbacks.

King has been limited to just one start in the majors since May 18 due to problems with his right shoulder and, more recently, left knee. Now that both injuries are no longer an issue, he'll rejoin the Padres' rotation and get to face a D-backs offense that has managed just a .670 OPS over its last 15 games. Alek Jacob was optioned to Triple-A El Paso in a corresponding move.
