Byron Buxton is headed for imaging after aggravating an ongoing right shoulder issue that forced him from the lineup. Corey Pieper breaks down critical health updates, fluctuating depth charts, the daily Waiver Wire segment, and the FanDuel Bet of the Day.

Statcast data highlights immediate warning signs for Aaron Nola after a five-earned-run implosion marked by a severe drop in his curveball spin rate, while underlying metrics show immense promise for Carson Benge following a perfect five-hit explosion highlighted by an elite 108 mph maximum exit velocity profile.
