Cameron went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Thursday's win over the Rays.

Getting the start in left field and batting second, Cameron crushed a fifth-inning changeup that Ian Seymour left up in the zone, sending it an estimated 442 feet onto a catwalk in left field. It was the 29-year-old's first homer in three games since being added to the Blue Jays' roster. In 163 MLB games over parts of six seasons with four different clubs, the second-generation player has managed a .204/.261/.336 slash line with 12 home runs and 15 stolen bases.

Stone (shoulder) struck out five and allowed no hits and no walks over three shutout innings Thursday in a rehab start with Triple-A Oklahoma City.

The 27-year-old righty faced just one batter over the minimum, with a first-inning error by first baseman Ryan Ward denying him a perfect outing. Stone hasn't made an appearance for the Dodgers since 2024, undergoing shoulder surgery in October of that year and then experiencing a setback this spring, but he's putting himself in position to help the big club in some capacity down the stretch. He's started all three of his rehab appearances and has posted a magnificent 2.35 ERA, 0.52 WHIP and 13:1 K:BB over 7.2 innings. While the Dodgers may not have a spot available for him in the rotation, Stone could offer value in a multi-inning relief role.

Lopez (knee) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday, Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Lopez is working his way back from left knee inflammation, which has kept him out for all of August. The veteran right-hander's last six appearances for Atlanta were as a starting pitcher, but he could be used as a reliever upon his return. If that happens, it might shorten his rehab assignment.

Gastelum is unscored upon in his last five appearances, logging a 12:1 K:BB over 6.1 innings during that span.

Gastelum was rocked for 15 runs (12 earned) with a 10:5 K:BB over 13.1 innings in his first 12 appearances in the majors. The rookie reliever has adjusted nicely, though, settling in as a valuable middle relief arm in St. Louis. Gastelum could move up the leverage ladder if he keeps up his recent form -- he has zero saves and just one hold so far. which came back on July 22.

Dubon went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Thursday's win over the White Sox.

Getting the start at shortstop and batting seventh, Dubon kept the line moving on a night when the bottom of the order did most of the work for the Atlanta offense. It was the veteran utility player's first multi-hit performance since a four-hit effort Aug. 6, and over 54 plate appearances on the month he's produced a .294/.315/.333 slash line with two doubles, three steals, five runs and six RBI.

Glasnow (back) struck out nine batters and gave up one run on one hit and one walk over 5.1 innings during a rehab start Wednesday with Triple-A Oklahoma City.

The Dodgers had been targeting Glasnow for five innings and 75 pitches in the fourth start of his rehab assignment, and he was able to check both boxes with 5.1 innings and 77 pitches (54 strikes). The veteran righty generated 12 swings and misses on the night, capping off a dominant four-start rehab stint in the minors during which he submitted a 1.32 ERA, 0.51 WHIP and 20:4 K:BB in 13.2 innings. From both a workload and results standpoint, Glasnow looks ready to return to the big leagues for the first time since early May, after a lengthy recovery from lower-back spasms. He'll likely come off the 60-day injured list and make a start at some point during the Dodgers' three-game series in Atlanta, which begins Tuesday.

Soriano was tagged for four runs on one hit and three walks while recording only two outs, both via strikeout, in Thursday's win over the Reds.

In fairness to Soriano, he was pitching for the third time in the series after logging scoreless appearances Monday and Tuesday. The right-hander has been a pleasant surprise for the Cardinals this season but has struggled in August, permitting eight runs with an 11:7 K:BB over eight frames. The 27-year-old ranks third on the team with a career-high 19 holds.

Burrows (elbow) struck out five and permitted one hit and two walks over 4.2 scoreless innings in a rehab start with Triple-A Sugar Land on Thursday.

After submitting a 5.99 ERA and 1.55 WHIP in 18 appearances (17 starts) for Houston to begin the season, Burrows was on his way to a demotion before landing on the injured list July 13 due to right elbow neuritis. However, after posting an 8:3 K:BB while allowing just four hits over nine innings between a pair of rehab outings with Sugar Land, Burrows is looking more likely to get another chance as a starter for the Astros once he comes off the IL, especially given the current state of the back end of the big-league rotation. Burrows was able to build up to 78 pitches Thursday, so he should be able to handle a standard workload if he ends up rejoining the rotation next week.

Mathews could be used at times in a piggyback role with Kyle Leahy down the stretch, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

The Cardinals plan to curtail Leahy's workload, and Mathews should be the biggest beneficiary. It's unclear what exactly that will look like, but it could be piggyback starts, spot starts or perhaps the implementation of a six-man rotation. Mathews has made two starts for the Cardinals this year, yielding three runs with a 10:6 K:BB over nine innings. The left-hander has logged a 3.27 ERA and 120:61 K:BB over 99 innings covering 21 starts at Triple-A Memphis in 2026.

Herz (elbow) struck out two and allowed one hit and two walks over two scoreless innings in a rehab start Thursday with Double-A Harrisburg.

After Herz underwent Tommy John surgery in April 2025 and then suffered a left flexor strain this past June, the Nationals have been having him ramp up slowly since he began his rehab assignment earlier this month. Through three outings between Single-A Fredericksburg and Harrisburg, the southpaw has yet to permit a run, but he's been limited to five total innings in those appearances. The 33 pitches he threw Thursday marked a new season high for Herz, but he would need to push that count up to the 70-to-80 range before becoming a viable option for the Washington rotation.
