Sugano (12-10) took the loss Monday, allowing six runs on eight hits and one walk over five innings against the Padres. He struck out two.

Sugano was tagged for all six runs in the first three frames, including two homers, resulting in his fifth loss over his past six outings. On the year, the right-hander owns a 5.49 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 86:34 K:BB in 142.2 innings (27 starts). Sugano's next start is lined up to come against the Mariners over the weekend.

Mize (6-9) earned the win Monday, allowing two runs on eight hits and two walks over five innings against the Rockies. He did not record a strikeout.

Mize permitted plenty of traffic on the bases but ultimately limited the damage enough at Coors Field to pick up the win. The right-hander has struggled since joining the Padres, posting a 5.97 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 22:12 K:BB in 37.2 innings (eight starts) with his new team. With an overall 3.69 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 107:31 K:BB across 124.1 innings (24 starts), Mize is tentatively scheduled to pitch Saturday against the Marlins.

Franklin (hand) went 1-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's rehab game with Triple-A Norfolk.

Out since the beginning of September with left hand inflammation, Franklin has been sent on a minor-league rehab assignment and is tracking toward rejoining the Baltimore roster before the end of the season. He had gone just 5-for-34 (.147) with a pair of doubles and steals in 16 games for the Orioles before going on the injured list.

Wolfram allowed one hit and no walks in a scoreless eighth inning for a hold Monday against the Mets. He struck out one.

Wolfram continues to operate as a left-handed specialist out of the Baltimore bullpen. He gave up multiple runs in three consecutive outings to begin the month of August, but Wolfram has since yielded just two runs in his last 12 appearances. He has a 4.66 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 56:14 K:BB with 13 holds over 48.1 innings (56 outings).

Davis was reinstated from the bereavement list and optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.

Davis has been away from the team since being placed on the bereavement list Wednesday. He'll report to Triple-A after being reinstated. The right-hander didn't surrender a run in 4.1 frames out of the bullpen during his latest stint in the big leagues.

Williams (13-8) took the loss Monday against the White Sox, striking out seven while allowing two runs on four hits and three walks in five innings.

Williams didn't work particularly efficiently Monday, needing a season-high 113 pitches to complete five innings. It's possible the right-hander had a longer leash after receiving a few days of extra rest in between starts, and he's now tossed at least five innings while conceding fewer than three runs in three straight outings to open the month of September. He's lined up for a soft home matchup against the Athletics over the weekend, holding a 3.78 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 235:56 K:BB over 174 innings.

Burke (9-7) earned the win Monday against Cleveland, striking out four while allowing an unearned run on four hits and two walks in five innings of relief.

Working behind opener Sean Newcomb on Monday, Burke kept the Guardians scoreless until permitting an unearned run in the sixth inning. It was a resounding bounce-back effort after the right-hander was shelled for seven runs his last time out versus Pittsburgh. He'll bring a respectable 3.47 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 173:58 K:BB over 161 innings into his next scheduled outing against the Tigers.

Bernal went 3-for-4 with a double and one RBI in Monday's 2-1 win over the Giants.

Bernal collected his fourth multi-hit effort over 13 games in the majors. The 22-year-old catcher also has an extra-base hit in four of his last five games, and he's added seven RBI in that span. In total, he's batting .327 with a .933 OPS, three home runs, three doubles, 14 RBI and eight runs scored over his first 56 plate appearances for St. Louis.

Saggese went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 2-1 win over the Giants.

Saggese is up to four steals on the year, including three over his last 10 games. He has gone 12-for-36 (.333) in that span, and he got a look in the leadoff spot Monday while Bryan Torres received a day off. Saggese is now batting .268 with a .738 OPS, four home runs, 12 RBI, 23 runs scored, five doubles and one triple over 140 plate appearances in the majors this season.

Lodolo (3-5) took the loss Monday against the Dodgers, striking out four while allowing four runs on three hits and four walks in seven innings.

Lodolo gave the Reds length but was hit hard when contact was made, serving up a pair of home runs on the evening. It was the longest outing of the season for the southpaw, who has issued multiple free passes in six straight starts and nine of his last 10. He'll take a disappointing 5.12 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 79:42 K:BB over 96.2 innings into his next scheduled appearance against the division-rival Cubs.
