  • Bryan Woo SP | SEA

    Mariners' Bryan Woo: Another quality start

    Woo (10-6) picked up the win Sunday against Tampa Bay, allowing three runs on seven hits and one walk with nine strikeouts over six innings.

    Woo generated his eighth quality start in 10 appearances, and he punched out nine batters for a second straight outing. The 25-year-old has a 3.08 ERA and a 143:26 K:BB across 146 innings this season. Sunday's quality start was Woo's 17th of the season, which stands as the most in MLB. Woo is tentatively scheduled to face the Mets in his next start.

  • Rays' Adrian Houser: Another rough start

    Houser (6-4) took the loss Sunday against Seattle, allowing four runs on six hits and three walks with four strikeouts across five innings.

    Houser's time in Tampa Bay has been rocky, as the veteran starter has allowed five and four runs, respectively, in his first two starts as a Ray. The 32-year-old has surrendered multiple walks in four of his last six starts. His two outings with Tampa Bay have ballooned Houser's ERA from 1.89 to 2.84. He'll look to get back on track next weekend in San Francisco.

  • Kyle Bradish SP | BAL

    Orioles' Kyle Bradish: Rehab assignment to continue

    Bradish (elbow) is expected to make at least one more rehab start before returning from the 60-day injured list, MLB.com reports.

    The 28-year-old right-hander has worked 12.1 innings over four rehab appearances in the minor leagues, producing a shaky 6.57 ERA and 1.54 WHIP. Bradish most recently threw 69 pitches for Triple-A Norfolk on Friday in the fourth start of his rehab assignment, and he could need to complete a couple more starts in the minors before the Orioles consider reinstating him from the injured list. He'll likely be looking to build up to 70-to-80 pitches during his next rehab outing.

  • Tyler Wells SP | BAL

    Orioles' Tyler Wells: Continues to look sharp in rehab

    Wells (elbow) struck out five and allowed oone hit and one walk over four scoreless innings in a rehab start for Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday.

    Wells has now turned in 8.1 shutout innings through the first three starts of his rehab assignment. The right-hander spotted 41 of his 52 pitches for strikes Sunday, but he'll still need at least a couple more starts to get fully stretched out before the Orioles consider opening up a spot for him in the big-league rotation. Wells has been stuck on the injured list all season while working his way back from his June 17, 2024 UCL revision and internal brace augmentation surgery.

  • Max Fried SP | NYY

    Yankees' Max Fried: Falls to Houston

    Fried (12-5) took the loss Sunday against the Astros, allowing four runs on eight hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out three.

    It was another shaky outing from Fried, who's stumbled to a 6.00 ERA over his last seven starts (36 innings). The left-hander still sports a 2.94 ERA on the season with a 1.10 WHIP and 135:36 K:BB across 24 starts (144 innings). Fried will look to right the ship in his next outing, currently scheduled for next week in St. Louis.

  • Astros' Jason Alexander: Blanks Yankees for third win

    Alexander (3-1) earned the win Sunday over the Yankees, allowing one hit and three walks over six scoreless innings. He struck out three.

    Alexander has been stellar of late, turning in back-to-back scoreless outings while allowing just four hits over 12 innings in that span. Overall, the 32-year-old right-hander sports a 5.02 ERA with a 1.46 WHIP and 29:18 K:BB across 37.2 innings between the Astros and A's this season. Despite his recent stretch, Alexander could soon be relegated to a bullpen role with Cristian Javier (elbow) slated to rejoin the rotation Monday.

  • Eric Lauer SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Eric Lauer: Chased early versus Dodgers

    Lauer allowed three runs on six hits and four walks while striking out four over three innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Sunday.

    Lauer didn't have much command, throwing just 42 of 71 pitches for strikes. He served up solo home runs to Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman in the first inning and walked in a run in the third before his exit. Prior to Sunday, Lauer had pitched pretty well, posting a 2.57 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 34:4 K:BB over his previous six outings. His struggles in this start can be chalked up to a tough opponent -- he's earned the benefit of the doubt. On the year, Lauer has a 2.82 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 83:22 K:BB through 83 innings over 19 appearances (13 starts). The left-hander is projected to make his next start at home versus the Rangers.

  • Cade Povich SP | BAL

    Orioles' Cade Povich: Logs quality start

    Povich did not factor into the decision Sunday against the A's, allowing a run on four hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out six.

    Povich was sharp in his second start since rejoining the Orioles rotation earlier this month. The left-hander held the A's scoreless through five innings before allowing a lone run in the sixth, though he managed to make it through the frame to pick up just his second quality start in 15 outings this season. Overall, Povich sports a 4.95 ERA through 76.1 innings with a 1.43 WHIP and 80:27 K:BB. He figures to remain in Baltimore's rotation while Zach Eflin (back), Kyle Bradish (elbow) and Tyler Wells (elbow) are sidelined -- Povich is currently lined up to face the Astros on the road his next time out.

  • Royals' Ryan Bergert: Strikes out eight

    Bergert did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Twins, allowing two runs on four hits and a walk over 5.2 innings. He struck out eight.

    Bergert was impressive Sunday, as he matched a career high with eight strikeouts while holding the Twins to two runs on a Ryan Fitzgerald homer in the third inning. The rookie right-hander hasn't provided much length this season (his 5.2 innings pitched matched a season high), though he's been effective overall, holding opponents to two runs or fewer runs in seven of his nine starts. Bergert's ERA sits at 2.87 this season with a 1.09 WHIP and 44:21 K:BB across 47 innings between Kansas City and San Diego. He figures to remain in the Royals rotation until Michael Lorenzen (oblique) is able to return though that could happen as soon as this week.

  • Astros' Cristian Javier: Set for 2025 debut Monday

    Javier (elbow) will be activated from the 60-day injured list to start Monday's contest against the Red Sox in Houston, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Javier will make his first major-league start since May 21, 2024, after he spent the last 14-plus months rehabbing and recovering from Tommy John surgery on his right elbow. The right-hander wrapped up his five-start minor-league rehab assignment this past Tuesday, when he struck out six batters and allowed one earned run on two hits and four walks across 3.2 innings. Overall, Javier was lacking in control during his rehab assignment, posting a 15:15 K:BB in 14 innings across stops with three affiliates. Since the 28-year-old reached 77 pitches in his latest rehab outing, he'll likely be operating with a minor workload restriction Monday.
