  • Joey Cantillo SP | CLE

    Guardians' Joey Cantillo: Stingy in Tuesday's win

    Cantillo (2-0) picked up the win in Tuesday's 6-3 victory over the Orioles, allowing one run on two hits and four walks over five innings. He struck out five.

    The 25-year-old southpaw tossed only 57 of 95 pitches for strikes, but 35 called or swinging strikes and a couple double plays behind him kept the damage to a minimum. Cantillo's stint in the rotation may not last much longer with Shane Bieber (elbow) getting closer to his season debut, but Cantillo has held his own so far, posting a 4.08 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 23:10 K:BB in 17.2 innings over four July starts. His next outing lines up to come on the road this weekend in Kansas City.

  • Pete Fairbanks RP | MIA

    Rays' Pete Fairbanks: Notches 17th save

    Fairbanks pitched a clean ninth to lock up his 17th save in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the White Sox.

    Fairbanks made quick work of the White Sox, needing 12 pitches to get through the ninth. He's now converted consecutive save chances out of the All-Star break and is on pace to set a new career high in saves after recording 25 in 2023. Fairbanks owns a 2.84 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 32:15 K:BB in 38 innings so far this season.

  • J.T. Ginn P | ATH

    Athletics' J.T. Ginn: Efficient outing as starter

    Ginn allowed one run on five hits and a walk while striking out two in five innings Tuesday against the Rangers. He did not factor into the decision.

    Ginn held the Rangers scoreless through three innings before Adolis Garcia broke through in the fourth with a solo home run. Ginn otherwise kept the Texas offense at bay, though he was pulled after just 58 pitches. Ginn's strikeouts were notably down after he went into Tuesday's start donning an 11.2 K/9. He presumably pitched well enough to get another crack at starting and tentatively lines up to make another start this weekend against Houston.

  • Bryan King P | HOU

    Astros' Bryan King: Snags first big-league save

    King allowed three hits and struck out one in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Josh Hader was evidently unavailable after throwing 53 pitches across his last two appearances dating back to Saturday. Manager Joe Espada elected to have Bryan Abreu work the eighth inning against the heart of the Arizona order, while King got the ninth. King loaded the bases with three singles before striking out Blaze Alexander and inducing a double-play grounder from Jose Herrera. King has emerged as a steady setup option for the Astros in his first full big-league season, pitching to a 2.55 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 45:8 K:BB through 42.1 innings while adding 21 holds and two blown saves. He's been scored upon in just seven of his 43 appearances, including a five-run fiasco versus the Rays on May 29 that skewed his ratios, though he has an 8.1-inning scoreless streak in July.

  • Andres Munoz RP | SEA

    Mariners' Andres Munoz: Navigates trouble for save

    Munoz walked two and struck out two in a scoreless and hitless inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 1-0 win over the Brewers.

    Munoz walked two of the first three batters he faced and also uncorked a wild pitch before settling down to secure the save. He's given up two runs over seven innings in July while converting four of his five save chances this month. After going over two months without allowing an earned run to begin the year, Munoz has been more human since May 30, allowing eight runs (six earned) over 14.1 innings with a 21:9 K:BB in that span. He's 22-for-28 in save chances with a 1.42 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 50:17 K:BB through 38 innings on the year.

  • Twins' Anthony Misiewicz: Exits with injury

    Misiewicz was removed from Tuesday's game against the Dodgers with an apparent injury, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports. He walked the lone batter he faced prior to exiting the contest.

    Misiewicz's injury occurred during a replay review in the eighth inning of Tuesday's contest, but it's unclear what kind of injury he's dealing with or how it happened. The Twins will bring him in for a closer look and should provide some clarity on his status in the near future.

  • Devin Williams RP | NYM

    Yankees' Devin Williams: Nabs save No. 15

    Williams picked up the save in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Blue Jays, allowing one hit and no walks in a scoreless ninth inning. He struck out two.

    While Williams did allow the potential tying run to get aboard, he poured in 15 of his 19 pitches for strikes en route to nabbing his 15th save of the season. The 30-year-old right-hander has remained New York's top option for ninth-inning work even with Luke Weaver back in the mix. Over his last 26.2 innings, Williams has recorded a stellar 2.36 ERA, 0.75 WHIP and 38:5 K:BB while converting each of his 11 save chances.

  • Brock Burke RP | CIN

    Angels' Brock Burke: Starting bullpen game

    Burke will serve as the Angels' starting pitcher Wednesday against the Mets in what's expected to be a bullpen game, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Burke has posted a 3.38 ERA and 1.35 WHIP this season while primarily serving in middle relief, but the Angels will use him to begin Wednesday's contest, marking his first start of the season. The 28-year-old has just four appearances of more than one inning on the campaign, so he'll likely turn the game over to the bullpen at some point during the bottom of the second.

  • Nick Hernandez RP | HOU

    Astros' Nick Hernandez: Recalled from Sugar Land

    The Astros recalled Hernandez from Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday.

    With Lance McCullers (finger) headed to the injured list, Hernandez will rejoin the Astros' bullpen to give the Astros an extra relief option. The 27-year-old righty has given up two runs in two MLB innings this year, but he owns an impressive 1.70 ERA and 0.97 WHIP through 37 frames in the minors.

  • Royals' Andrew Hoffmann: Sent to Triple-A

    The Royals optioned Hoffmann to Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.

    Hoffmann was called up by Kansas City on Friday and appeared in two games during his brief time in the majors, allowing four runs (none earned) with a 1:4 K:BB over 2.2 innings. The 25-year-old will now head back to Omaha, where he has a 2.31 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in 31 outings this season.
