  • Tarik Skubal SP | DET

    Tigers' Tarik Skubal: Breezes to 12th win

    Skubal (12-4) pitched seven scoreless innings with four strikeouts to collect the win Sunday at Kansas City. He allowed four hits and two walks.

    The Detroit ace didn't have his sharpest stuff in this 93-pitch outing, generating only eight whiffs, as he tallied four or fewer punchouts for just the fourth time this season. The Royals lineup never sniffed a run against Skubal, who has now posted a quality start in four consecutive appearances. The reigning AL Cy Young Award winner has continued his run as one of the game's best pitchers, firing a 2.18 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 216:27 K:BB across 173 total innings. Skubal currently lines up to make his next start at home against the White Sox next weekend.

  • Royals' Michael Wacha: Unravels in loss

    Wacha (8-11) took the loss Sunday against the Tigers, conceding four runs on five hits and a walk over 4.2 innings. He struck out four.

    The veteran righty returned from the paternity list and did not look sharp in this 71-pitch appearance, inducing only five whiffs. Wacha fired four scoreless frames before falling apart in the fifth, coughing up four runs on four hits, including two extra-base knocks. Through 153.1 innings, the 34-year-old now sports a 3.52 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 112:39 K:BB. Wacha will look to bounce back in his next outing, currently scheduled to come at home against the Twins next weekend.

  • Orioles' Tomoyuki Sugano: Labors versus Giants

    Sugano (10-7) allowed seven runs on 10 hits and a walk while striking out four over 3.1 innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Giants.

    Sugano gave up a solo shot to Rafael Devers in the first inning, and the right-hander ran into more trouble in the third and fourth frames. He's allowed 11 runs over 9.1 innings across his last two starts, which is discouraging after a three-start stretch in which he gave up just three runs (two earned) across 17.1 frames. For the season, Sugano has a 4.41 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 95:35 K:BB through 140.2 innings across 26 starts. He's tentatively scheduled to make his next start at home versus the Dodgers.

  • Pablo Lopez SP | MIN

    Twins' Pablo Lopez: Excellent in final rehab start

    Lopez (shoulder) pitched 5.2 scoreless innings in a rehab start with Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday, allowing four hits and one walk while striking out seven batters.

    Lopez was sharp in what will likely be his final rehab outing, giving up just one hard-hit ball. He topped out at 95.6 miles per hour and averaged 93.9 mph with his fastball. Lopez totaled 82 pitches in the outing, so he appears set to handle something close to a normal workload upon his activation from the 60-day injured list. Assuming the Twins are satisfied with Lopez's condition coming out of Sunday's appearance, he'll likely line up to make a start against the Royals on the road next weekend.

  • Martin Perez SP | ATL

    White Sox's Martin Perez: Quality start in no-decision

    Perez took a no-decision in Sunday's 3-2 win against the Yankees, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks over six innings with seven strikeouts.

    The veteran southpaw held his own against a tough New York lineup in this 99-pitch outing, firing 62 strikes. Perez notched his fourth quality start of the season, as Aaron Judge accounted for the two runs he gave up -- the reigning AL MVP hit a solo shot in the first and scored on a Cody Bellinger double in third. Perez now sports a sterling 2.16 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 39:15 K:BB across 41.2 total frames. He is currently scheduled to face the division-leading Tigers in his next start on the road next weekend.

  • Luis Gil SP | NYY

    Yankees' Luis Gil: Fans seven Sunday

    Gil did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the White Sox. He allowed two runs on four hits and two walks over 5.1 innings with seven strikeouts.

    The New York right-hander equaled a season high with his seven punchouts generated on 12 whiffs out of his 98 total pitches. Gil was cruising through the first five frames, conceding just one run on a Will Robertson double in the second. After giving up a solo homer to Colson Montgomery with one out in the sixth, Gil walked the next batter and was then lifted from the contest. Through 29.1 total innings, Gil now sports a 3.68 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 29:19 K:BB with a worrisome 25.6 percent groundball rate. The 27-year-old is scheduled to make his next appearance in the Yankees' upcoming home series next weekend against Toronto.

  • Bryce Miller SP | SEA

    Mariners' Bryce Miller: Notches fourth win

    Miller (4-5) earned the win Sunday against Cleveland, allowing two runs on two hits and one walk over six innings with three strikeouts.

    Despite generating just seven whiffs out of his 72 total pitches, the 27-year-old managed to tally his first quality start of the season. Both runs Miller conceded scored via a Daniel Schneemann two-run homer in the third. Through 64.2 total frames, the Seattle right-hander has pitched to a 5.71 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 50:27 K:BB, making him a tough option to rely upon in fantasy. Miller currently lines up to make his next start at Atlanta next weekend.

  • Tanner Bibee SP | CLE

    Guardians' Tanner Bibee: Saddled with 11th loss

    Bibee (9-11) conceded four runs on six hits and two walks over 6.1 innings to take the loss Sunday against the Mariners. He struck out four.

    The Cleveland right-hander's recent second-half struggles continued in this 91-pitch performance. Bibee allowed four or more runs for the eighth straight appearance, as he's pitched to a 5.91 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 31:16 K:BB in 45.2 innings across that span. The 26-year-old looked solid through his first six frames but was chased in the seventh after permitting two of the first three batters to reach, both of which subsequently scored on a hit given up by reliever Matt Festa. Bibee will carry a 4.77 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 7.9 K/9 over 154.2 total innings into his next matchup, which currently lines up to be at Tampa Bay next weekend.

  • Mick Abel P | MIN

    Twins' Mick Abel: Sent back to Triple-A

    The Twins optioned Abel to Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday.

    Minnesota didn't immediately replace Abel on the roster ahead of Sunday's 7-2 win over the Padres, so the Twins will have three spots to fill when the active roster expands from 26 to 28 men Monday. Abel's demotion comes after he was moved to the bullpen for this weekend's series against the Padres following a rough start against the White Sox on Aug. 23, when he served up six earned runs across three innings. The right-hander didn't fare any better in his lone relief appearance, as he gave up six runs (five earned) on seven hits and one walk over one inning in Saturday's 12-3 loss.

  • Luis Ortiz SP | CLE

    Guardians' Luis L. Ortiz: Leave extended

    MLB and the MLBPA announced Sunday that Ortiz will remain on non-disciplinary paid leave until further notice while MLB continues its sports-betting investigation.

    The Guardians aren't planning on commenting further on Ortiz's status until the investigation concludes, but the right-hander's locker at Progressive Field was cleared out nearly a month ago, which implies that he isn't expected to pitch again this season. Ortiz remains under club control heading into 2026, but whether he returns to the mound with the Guardians or another team down the road won't become clear until MLB releases the findings of its investigation.
