Quintana (11-6) took the loss Monday against Texas, allowing five runs on four hits and two walks in 6.2 innings. He struck out four.

Most of the damage was done courtesy of a Michael Helman grand slam in the fifth inning, though it was still Quintana's longest outing of the season. The veteran southpaw has lasted at least five innings in 13 of his last 14 starts. Quintana has put together a respectable 3.88 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 87:48 K:BB across 127.2 innings, and he's next scheduled to take the mound at home against the Cardinals over the weekend.

Latz (2-0) notched the win Monday against the Brewers, allowing three hits and one walk in 5.2 shutout innings. He struck out four.

It was was perhaps Latz's finest effort as a starter so far this season, as it was his first scoreless start of the year. The left-hander has gone at least five innings in four of his six starts in 2025, and he's in line to remain in the rotation with Nathan Eovaldi (shoulder) sidelined for the remainder of the regular season. Latz has a 2.91 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 66:32 K:BB across a career-high 74.1 frames. He's next slated for a tall task on the road against the Mets this weekend.

Patrick will be recalled from Triple-A Nashville to start Tuesday's game against the Rangers in Arlington, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Patrick is no stranger to starting in the big leagues this season, and he's posted a 3.10 ERA and 1.18 WHIP with 21 strikeouts over his last four outings with the Brewers dating back to June 29. The right-hander appears to be in line for a spot start during a busy period in the schedule for the Brewers, so Patrick may not be guaranteed any turns through the rotation after Tuesday.

Crews went 3-for-5 with a homer, four RBI and an additional run scored in Monday's 15-7 victory at Miami.

The Washington outfielder tied a career high in RBI in this contest, equaling a mark previously set April 19 at Colorado. Crews also collected his eighth long ball of the season -- his first since returning from an oblique injury Aug. 14 -- with a 409-foot, three-run shot off Marlins reliever Josh Simpson in the fifth. Through 255 total plate appearances, the 23-year-old is now slashing .208/.282/.355 with 14 steals, 36 runs scored and 23 RBI.

Imanaga (9-7) took the loss Monday against Atlanta, allowing three runs on five hits and no walks in six innings. He struck out four.

That's now seven consecutive quality starts for Imanaga, who also issued no walks for the first time since his Aug. 10 outing in St. Louis. The star left-hander has allowed fewer than six hits in eight straight appearances, and he's worked to a 3.13 ERA, 0.74 WHIP and 38:6 K:BB over 46 frames since the beginning of August. Imanaga also has a 3.21 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 101:23 K:BB over 129 innings for the campaign, and he's next set to face a Rays team with a poor .655 OPS versus left-handed pitching since the All-Star break.

Bell went 4-for-6 with two homers, six RBI and an additional run scored in Monday's 15-7 blowout of the Marlins.

The veteran first baseman notched his 11th career multi-homer performance, as he plated six or more runs for the second time. Bell cracked round trippers from both sides of the plate, blasting a 431-foot, two-run homer off southpaw reliever Josh Simpson in the sixth before returning the next inning to launch another two-run long ball off righty George Soriano. The 33-year-old Bell has been a steady performer since the All-Star break, batting .260 (34-for-131) with eight homers, 18 RBI and 18 runs scored over 40 games.

Bernabel was removed from Monday's game against the Dodgers due to an apparent head injury, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.

Bernabel made a diving attempt at a foul ball in the bottom of the first inning and was ultimately able to make it off the field under his own power. The Colorado training staff was spotted evaluating Bernabel's head before he walked off. The severity of the injury is unclear at this time.

Cavalli (3-1) earned the win Monday at Miami, allowing two runs on six hits and one walk over five innings with one strikeout.

The 27-year-old contained the Marlins lineup over this short outing with his offense providing 15 runs of support. Cavalli fired 61 total pitches, 41 of which were strikes, as the Nationals monitor the workload for their oft-injured righty. The former first-rounder has pitched to a 4.67 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 29:9 K:BB across 34.2 total frames this season. Cavalli is currently slated to make his next appearance at home against the Pirates this weekend.

Elder (7-9) notched the win Monday against the Cubs, allowing one run on five hits and one walk in 6.1 innings. He struck out six.

Since being torched for eight runs in his Aug. 19 start against the White Sox, Elder has gotten himself into quite the groove on the hill. The right-hander has thrown at least six innings while yielding two runs or fewer in four consecutive outings, improving his ERA from 6.29 following that Aug. 19 appearance to 5.35 for the season during that span. Elder will be trying to keep the good times rolling this weekend at home against the Astros. Through 138 innings, he has a 1.41 WHIP and 111:48 K:BB to go with the aforementioned 5.35 ERA.

Junk (6-3) took the loss Monday against Washington, conceding six runs on eight hits and two walks over 4.1 innings with three strikeouts.

The Miami right-hander looked rusty as he returned from an elbow injury that kept him out since Aug. 27. Junk completely unraveled in the fifth, as he allowed four of the first five batters to reach before being lifted for reliever Seth Martinez. After posting a 2.68 ERA in his first 50.1 frames this season, Junk has struggled since, producing a dreadful 6.64 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 26:8 K:BB over 42 innings. He is currently slated to make his next start at home against the playoff-bound Tigers this weekend.
