The 26-year-old has been out of action since July 19 with a right shoulder strain after producing a 5.03 ERA and 1.47 WHIP over 19 2.3 innings for the Astros this season. Scrubb will return to the Triple-A Round Rock for the time being where he posted a 1.64 ERA over 11 frames.

The Braves had a furious, two-out rally which led them to victory here and Olson put the exclamation point on it with his grand slam. After singles by Jurickson Profar and Ozzie Albies knocked Yusei Kikuchi out of this game with two outs in the sixth inning, Sean Murphy launched a three-run home run to give Atlanta their first lead. Then, Angels’ reliever Ryan Zeferjahn allowed a single to Michael Harris II and walked both ninth hitter Nick Allen and Ronald Acuña Jr. which set Olson up for his grand slam. It was his first RBI in over a week and first home run in two weeks as he and his Braves try to shake loose from the malaise that’s overcome their season.

Fuentes has had a very frustrating start to his big league career. This is now the second consecutive start where he couldn’t escape the fourth inning as hitters seem to see him well after going around the order one time. His fastball is electric sitting at 96 mph with great carry and his sweeper forced eight swings-and-misses, but neither his curveball nor splitter has been a consistent weapon for him. As a two-pitch pitcher, he becomes very predictable. In most instances, a 9.00 ERA through three starts for a 20-year-old who made just one start at Triple-A would hint at a demotion back to the minor leagues. However, with Chris Sale already on the injured list and Spencer Schwellenbach now out indefinitely, Fuentes could get another few turns in the Braves’ rotation.

Adell roped a two-out single in the first inning off rookie Didier Fuentes that gave his Angels a lead they held until the sixth. In that at-bat, Adell fell behind 1-2 and the old Adell may have chased one of the sweeper Fuentes left wide to end that threat. Instead, he laid off them and waited for the fastball he eventually smoked. Apart from that hit, he had two more hard-hit balls throughout this game and continues to mash in what finally feels like a breakout season.

After a solid start, Kikuchi was forced to spectate as Ryan Zeferjahn allowed a go-ahead home run to Sean Murphy with two inherited runners on base. After retiring the first two batters in the sixth inning, both Jurickson Profar and Ozzie Albies singled which caused Angels interim manager Ray Montgomery to come and take the ball from Kikuchi. He had just reached the 100-pitch mark and wasn’t particularly sharp despite his excellent final line. Still, it’s clear the move didn’t pay off as the Braves wound up taking the lead running the score up late in this game. Kikuchi is scheduled for a two-start week coming up against the Rangers and Diamondbacks to close out the first half.

The Reds were down 3-0 in the seventh when CES hit his sixth homer of the year with the bases loaded against Greg Weissert. The no-doubter left his bat at 109.1 mph and was projected at 439 feet. Encarnacion-Strand wasn’t even supposed to play tonight; he hurt his foot during the completion of last night’s suspended game this afternoon, but he was needed after Spencer Steer was scratched. The big game is very well timed for him, as the Reds infield is close to getting quite a bit more crowded with Noelvi Marte’s expected return from the IL.

Coming off his near no-no, Martinez was knocked around pretty good in this one, giving up a homer, four doubles and four singles while getting just two strikeouts. He also got an out on a Jarren Duran fly to right that would have been a homer in 25 ballparks, according to Statcast. Still, the Red Sox made some baserunning mistakes and finished the night just 1-for-9 with RISP, and Martinez held on long enough to get the win after the Reds scored five times in the seventh inning. He moves to 6-8 with a 4.05 ERA ahead of a start against the Marlins next week.

Weissert was brought in to get the final out of the sixth and then stayed for the seventh, which opened with a single, an error, a walk and then a Christian Encarnacion-Strand grand slam. That still wasn’t enough to get Weissert lifted, though, and he wound up allowing one more run on a double and a single before being removed with two outs. Weissert came into this one with a 2.84 ERA and had seemingly emerged as a No. 2 option in the Red Sox pen with Justin Slaten down, something that seems worth paying attention to since Aroldis Chapman could be traded this month. However, this is a setback, and he also has some new competition in the form of Jordan Hicks, though Hicks also gave up three runs — one earned — while getting two outs tonight.

Wilson hasn’t pitched since last Tuesday due to the issue, but he told reporters that he expects to be available for Friday’s series opener against the Nationals. The 37-year-old lefty has posted a solid 2.39 ERA across 26 1/3 innings (33 appearances) this season in his Red Sox debut.

Lowe’s hit was part of a six-run eighth inning for the Nationals. Lowe and Josh Bell have been disappointments as two of the Nationals’ big offseason additions, but they came through tonight, with Bell collecting three hits and three RBI. There’s a good chance one or both will be traded this month. Lowe does have one year of arbitration left, but at this point, he wouldn’t seem to be worth the $11 million-$12 million it would take to keep him.

The Nationals needed length from Gore tonight after Trevor Williams got lit up in game one, so they sent him back out for the sixth even though he’d already thrown 98 pitches. He got just one more out before a walk and a single led to him being lifted at 111 pitches, which matches his career high. One of the inherited runners scored off Brad Lord, but Gore was still in line for a win in a 3-2 game after the sixth. Alas, that lead was blown in the seventh before the Nats came back with sixth in the eighth to win anyway. Gore will make his next start Tuesday or Wednesday against the Cardinals.
