Greene took a no-decision Monday against the Blue Jays, allowing one run on five hits and one walk in 6.1 innings. He struck out seven.

That's now six consecutive outings of at least five innings for Greene, who also has three quality starts during that stretch. The hard-throwing right-hander generated 15 swinging strikes Monday, and it was already the ninth time in 15 appearances this year that Greene tallied at least seven strikeouts. Greene has an outstanding 2.70 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 101:17 K:BB across 83.1 frames, and he's next scheduled for a daunting test this weekend against a Mets team with a robust .867 OPS since the beginning of August.

Miller exited Monday's 10-8 loss to the Phillies early with a right elbow injury, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Miller felt something "pop" in his elbow, leading to an early departure, which certainly doesn't sound good. The right-hander may be set for an extended absence, but more information on his status will likely come in the near future.

Schmitt (elbow) underwent X-rays, which came back negative, following Monday's 8-2 win over the Rockies, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Schmitt exited Monday's contest in the top of fifth inning after being struck by a pitch in the right elbow, but he appears to have avoided a major injury. The second baseman is considered to be day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's contest in Colorado.

Mena (shoulder) has continued his throwing program, but he has yet to throw off a mound, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Mena has been out since early June after suffering a right shoulder strain, and he doesn't appear to be particularly close to returning to action. With less than a month left in the 2025 campaign, the right-hander may be running short on time. Mena will likely have to participate in multiple bullpen sessions and an eventual minor-league rehab assignment before he'd be able to return.

Hoffmann hasn't pitched since being optioned to Triple-A Reno on Aug. 20 while dealing with fatigue, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Reno hasn't yet placed Hoffmann on its injured list, so he could be back in action within a few days. Hoffmann has posted a 6.55 ERA and 2.00 WHIP over 11 innings in 10 appearances at the MLB level with the Royals and Diamondbacks this season.

DeSclafani (thumb) is expected to face live hitters Tuesday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

DeSclafani has been sidelined since Aug. 13 while dealing with right thumb inflammation, but he will now take a significant step in his recovery. If Tuesday's session goes well, the Diamondbacks will likely start to put together the framework for a minor-league rehab assignment for DeSclafani in the coming weeks.

Miller exited Wednesday's game against the Phillies in the top of eighth inning with an apparent injury, Jack Stern of BrewerFanatic.com reports.

Miller threw eight pitches in the top of the eighth inning, allowing one run on two hits, before the Brewers' trainer came out to the mound to examine the right-hander. Miller was removed from the game and replaced Rob Zastryzny. Milwaukee has an off day Tuesday before resuming its series with Philadelphia on Wednesday.

Urias went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and an additional RBI in Monday's 8-3 victory over the Angels.

Urias drew the start at second, where he has become a mainstay for the Astros, and clubbed his second homer with his new club. The 31-year-old opened the contest's scoring with a 361-foot blast off Los Angeles starter Yusei Kikuchi in the second. Since joining Houston from Baltimore at the trade deadline, Urias has batted .300 (18-for-60) with six RBI and five runs scored across 21 games.

O'Brien (shoulder) was cleared to play catch Monday and could avoid the 15-day injured list, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

O'Brien underwent an MRI on Monday due to lingering right shoulder discomfort, but the Cardinals were encouraged by the imaging results and the reliever was allowed to resume throwing. While a stint on the IL has not been ruled out, O'Brien will be given a couple days to continue to recover to see if a long-term absence can be avoided. The 30-year-old has emerged as a late-inning bullpen arm for St. Louis this season, collecting a 1.69 ERA and 35:17 K:BB over 37.1 innings while notching two saves.

Altuve went 2-for-4 with a homer, a double, a walk and three RBI in Monday's 8-3 victory over the Angels.

The Houston veteran tallied his team's final two runs with a 374-foot round tripper off Los Angeles reliever Brock Burke in the eighth. This marks the sixth time in his 15-year career that Altuve has reached the 24-homer plateau, with the last occurrence happening in 2022. The 35-year-old is now slashing .274/.337/.459 with 73 runs scored and 68 RBI in 570 total plate appearances.
