Overview

  • Left-hander José Quintana was placed on the 15-day injured list with a left calf strain, a backdated move that ends his regular season.
  • Right-handed reliever Nick Mears was activated to take Quintana’s roster spot after a minimum IL stint for a back issue.
  • All-Star closer Trevor Megill reported soreness in throwing sessions while rehabbing a right flexor strain, and his return timeline is now uncertain.
  • Manager Pat Murphy emphasized that Megill’s health is the priority and indicated the club has pushed back any target for his return.
  • Triple-A lefty Robert Gasser threw 2 2/3 scoreless innings in a rehab outing and could be used in a multi-inning role, with Chad Patrick also emerging as a late-inning option.
