  • Logan Evans RP | SEA

    Mariners' Logan Evans: On IL with elbow issue

    The Mariners placed Evans on the 15-day injured list Friday due to right elbow inflammation.

    The right-hander issued a season-high four walks as he gave up three runs (two earned) across four innings Thursday in Baltimore, and he'll now be sidelined for at least the next couple weeks after being diagnosed with elbow inflammation. Evans' may have been set to lose his place in Seattle's rotation regardless of the injury since Bryce Miller (elbow) is nearing his return from the injured list.

  • Pierson Ohl P | MIN

    Twins' Pierson Ohl: Receiving start Friday

    Ohl is listed as the Twins' starting pitcher for Friday's game against the Tigers at Target Field.

    Ohl made his most recent appearance out of the bullpen, tossing 2.2 scoreless frames in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Royals. The rookie right-hander has previously made two starts for Minnesota and made another five starts in the minors earlier this season, but he has yet to cover more than four innings in any outing. As such, Ohl will likely be deployed as more of an opener than a traditional starter Friday, with Jose Urena available to work in bulk relief behind him.

  • Kyle Bradish SP | BAL

    Orioles' Kyle Bradish: Dominant in fifth rehab appearance

    Bradish (elbow) made a rehab start for Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday, allowing two hits and two walks in five scoreless innings. He struck out nine.

    The rehab start was Bradish's third with Norfolk and his fifth overall in the minor leagues amid his recovery from Tommy John surgery, and he was able to build up to 74 pitches on top of dominating the opposition Thursday. As it stands, the Orioles plan to have the right-hander make one final rehab appearance before clearing him to rejoin their rotation and make his season debut, per Jake Rill of MLB.com. Once Bradish is ready to come off the injured list, it would make sense for Baltimore to option the struggling Brandon Young back to the minors.

  • Bailey Ober SP | MIN

    Twins' Bailey Ober: Decent in no-decision

    Ober allowed three runs on four hits and struck out four without walking a batter over 5.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Tigers on Thursday.

    Ober allowed a two-run home run to Riley Greene in the fourth inning and an RBI single to Colt Keith in the sixth. While Ober was stingy with baserunners, the Tigers were able to take advantage of his few mistakes. He's given up eight runs over 16.1 innings across three starts since returning from a left hip impingement. Overall, he's posted a 5.15 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 86:24 K:BB through 108.1 innings across 20 starts this season. His next start is projected to be at home versus the Athletics.

  • Tarik Skubal SP | DET

    Tigers' Tarik Skubal: Rebounds with quality start

    Skubal allowed three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three over seven innings in a no-decision versus the Twins on Thursday.

    Skubal was chased in the fifth inning of his previous outing, but he was able to bounce back with a quality start this time around. However, the three strikeouts were his second fewest in a game this year, better than only his Opening Day performance against the Dodgers. He's also allowed at least three runs in four of his last six starts -- while not terrible in that stretch, we've seen him be more dominant for long stretches in the last couple of years. Overall, Skubal has a 2.42 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 190:23 K:BB through 152.1 innings over 24 starts this season. His next outing is projected to be at home versus the Astros.

  • Tanner Bibee SP | CLE

    Guardians' Tanner Bibee: Picks up ninth win

    Bibee (9-9) earned the win Thursday over the Marlins, allowing four runs (two earned) on five hits and four walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out five.

    After giving up three runs in the first inning -- in part due to some shoddy defense -- Bibee managed to right the ship and hold Miami to just one run over his final 4.2 frames. The right-hander has won five of his last six outings despite posting a subpar 5.13 ERA in that span. Overall, Bibee sports a 4.54 ERA with a 1.29 WHIP and 124:43 K:BB across 24 starts (136.2 innings) this season. He's currently lined up to face the Diamondbacks on the road his next time out.

  • Logan Evans RP | SEA

    Mariners' Logan Evans: Falls to Baltimore

    Evans (6-5) took the loss Thursday against the Orioles, allowing three runs (two earned) on three hits and four walks over four innings. He struck out one.

    Evans struggled with his command Thursday, issuing a season-high four walks in an eventual 5-3 defeat. The 24-year-old Evans had gone 3-1 in his previous four outings, despite posting a mediocre 5.85 ERA in that span. Overall, his ERA sits at 4.37 through 15 starts (78.1 innings) this season with a 1.40 WHIP and 58:30 K:BB. Evans is currently scheduled to face the Phillies on the road his next time out.

  • Orioles' Tomoyuki Sugano: Picks up 10th win

    Sugano (10-5) earned the win Thursday against the Mariners, allowing a run on three hits and a walk over 5.1 innings. He struck out two.

    Sugano pitched well Thursday, holding Seattle scoreless through five innings before a rain delay ended his day at 81 pitches with one on and one out in the sixth. Rico Garcia then served up a two-run homer to Julio Rodriguez when play resumed to break the shutout. It's the fourth win in six starts for Sugano, who's pitched to a 3.27 ERA in that span (33 innings). Overall, his ERA sits at 4.13 with a 1.28 WHIP and 82:32 K:BB through 23 starts (126.1 innings) this season. Sugano's currently lined up for a road matchup with the Red Sox in his next outing.

  • Pablo Lopez SP | MIN

    Twins' Pablo Lopez: Ready for live BP

    Lopez (shoulder) is scheduled to throw two innings of live batting practice Friday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

    Lopez has been on the shelf since June 5 due to a Grade 2 teres major strain, with estimates for his recovery at the time he suffered the injury ranging from 8-to-12 weeks. Though the right-hander has reached a major milestone in his recovery by facing hitters, Lopez will likely require an extended rehab assignment before making his return from the 60-day injured list. Prior to being shut down with the injury, Lopez went 5-3 with a 2.82 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 61:14 K:BB across 60.2 innings.

  • Max Scherzer SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Max Scherzer: Goes seven innings in third win

    Scherzer (3-2) earned the win Thursday over the Cubs, allowing one run on five hits and a walk across seven innings. He struck out three.

    Scherzer was excellent Thursday, blanking Chicago for five innings before allowing a lone run on a Michael Busch homer in the sixth. The 41-year-old right-hander has pitched to a 2.42 ERA over his last four starts (26 innings), lowering his ERA to 3.83 on the year with a 1.07 WHIP and 52 strikeouts across 10 starts (54 innings). Scherzer will look to keep rolling in his next outing, currently scheduled for next week in Pittsburgh.
