Rodon came away with a no-decision in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Rangers, giving up two runs on six hits and four walks over five-plus innings. He struck out three.

The veteran lefty once again struggled to get the ball over the plate consistently, issuing at least three free passes for the fifth time in his last seven starts. Over that stretch, Rodon has produced a 4.50 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 40:22 K:BB in 38 innings. He'll try to tighten things up in his next outing, which lines up to come at home early next week against the Twins.

Arrighetti (1-2) took the loss Wednesday against the Marlins, allowing five runs on 11 hits and one walk in 3.2 innings. He struck out five.

Arrighetti showed plenty of rust and a lack of command on his pitch locations in his first major-league start since April 5 in Minnesota, surrendering a career-high 11 hits Wednesday in his first game back from a thumb fracture. The 25-year-old right-hander did produce 16 whiffs during his abbreviated outing, which was perhaps an encouraging takeaway, but he may have been a bit too aggressive in attacking the strike zone overall. Arrighetti has a rough 7.43 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 13:6 K:BB over his first 12.2 innings this year, so he'll try to right the ship during a scheduled home tilt versus the Red Sox his next time out.

Anderson did not factor into the decision Wednesday against the Rays, allowing four runs on five hits and a walk over four innings. He struck out five.

Anderson was done in by the home-run ball again Wednesday -- all four of Tampa's runs off the left-hander came via the long ball, including two off the bat of Junior Caminero. Anderson's given up eight homers across 14.2 innings in his last three starts. He remains without a win since April 18 and sports a 4.63 ERA with a 1.40 WHIP and 97:47 K:BB through 23 starts (122.1 innings) this season. He's currently lined up for a tough home matchup with the Dodgers in his next outing.

Baz did not factor into the decision Wednesday against the Angels, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks across four innings. He struck out nine.

After holding the Angels scoreless in his first two innings, Baz unraveled with two outs in the third, giving up an RBI single to Nolan Schanuel before Mike Trout launched a game-tying, three-run homer. While Baz has had his strikeout stuff working of late, logging 17 punchouts over nine innings in his last two starts, he's struggled to provide much length -- the right-hander has failed to make it past five innings in any of his previous four outings. Overall, Baz sports a 4.92 ERA with a 1.34 WHIP and 133:48 K:BB across 23 starts (128 innings) this season. He's currently lined up to face the A's on the road his next time out.

Williams (7-4) picked up the win in Wednesday's 4-1 victory over the Mets, allowing one run on one hit and four walks over 8.2 innings. He struck out six.

In the longest start of his career, both in terms of innings and pitches (126), Williams came two outs short of the first no-hitter in Cleveland history since Len Barker's perfect game in 1981. Juan Soto spoiled the bid with a ninth-inning solo shot to center field, however. Williams had to settle for his seventh win and 10th quality start of the season, with five of those quality starts coming in his last six trips to the mound -- a stretch in which he's posted a 1.63 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 41:17 K:BB over 38.2 innings. Williams' next outing lines up to come at home next week against the Marlins.

Gausman (8-8) earned the win Wednesday over Colorado, allowing a run on three hits and two walks over seven innings. He struck out eight.

After giving up a run in the first inning, Gausman settled in and blanked the Rockies over his final six frames, allowing just one additional hit. The veteran right-hander has pitched to a 2.54 ERA in his last eight outings (49.2 innings), going 3-2 with 51 strikeouts in that span. Overall, Gausman's ERA sits at 3.85 this year with a 1.08 WHIP and 135:39 K:BB through 23 starts (135.2 innings). He's currently scheduled to face the Cubs at home his next time out.

Triple-A Omaha reinstated Avila (shoulder) from the 7-day injured list Tuesday.

Avila appears ready to slot back into the Omaha rotation for the first time since late May after missing more than two months while recovering from a right shoulder impingement. The 23-year-old made three rehab appearances for High-A Quad Cities prior to being activated, covering six innings and striking out 10 while allowing two earned runs on four hits and three walks.

The Royals announced Friday that Ragans (shoulder) remains on track with his throwing progression and has increased his throwing distance off flat ground to 120 feet, MLB.com reports.

Though Ragans seems to be making incremental progress in his recovery from a left rotator cuff strain, he still has yet to resume throwing bullpen sessions since landing on the injured list June 11. Assuming Kansas City is still planning on having Ragans get stretched back out as a starter during his rehab program, he's unlikely to be ready to slot back into the big-league rotation until late August in a best-case scenario.

Rogers (5-2) earned the win against the Phillies on Wednesday, allowing one run on eight hits and two walks with six strikeouts over six innings.

Rogers threw 73 of a season-high 104 pitches for strikes and managed to work around consistent traffic on the basepaths to keep the Phillies' offense in check. He's now delivered six straight quality starts, allowing just five earned runs over 40.1 innings during that stretch. After spending the first couple months of 2025 in the minors, it's been a resurgent campaign for the 27-year-old, who boasts a 1.44 ERA, 0.83 WHIP, and 54:15 K:BB across 62.1 innings (10 starts). He'll look to keep rolling in a home matchup with the Mariners next week.

Astros manager Joe Espada said Wednesday that Javier (elbow) is in position to make his season debut with the major-league club during its homestand next week, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Javier made his fifth and likely final rehab start Tuesday with Triple-A Sugar Land, allowing one run one two hits and four walks while striking out six over 3.2 innings. The right-hander holds a 5.14 ERA and 15:15 K:BB over 14 frames during his rehab assignment and reached 77 pitches Tuesday. Javier could rejoin the Astros' rotation as soon as Monday against the Red Sox. While he makes for a viable stash in fantasy leagues, it might be wise to leave him on your bench initially.
