Ryan Pepiot RP | TB
Rays' Ryan Pepiot: Grabs seventh win
Pepiot (7-9) earned the win Tuesday, allowing three runs (two earned) on five hits and two walks over 5.2 innings against the Angels. He struck out six.
The right-hander worked through four scoreless innings before Jo Adell got to him for three runs across the fifth and sixth innings. Tuesday's outing followed a rocky July for Pepiot in which he posted a 5.03 ERA and 1.26 WHIP over 34 innings across six starts. While his season ERA sits at a respectable 3.77 over 136 innings, a 4.58 FIP suggests more regression could be on the horizon.

Jose Soriano RP | LAA
Angels' Jose Soriano: Allows seven runs in ninth loss
Soriano (7-9) took the loss Tuesday, allowing seven runs on seven hits and a walk over four innings against Tampa Bay. He struck out four.
The right-hander cruised through three scoreless innings before unraveling in the fourth, giving up seven runs sparked by a two-run homer from Brandon Lowe. Soriano remains a mixed bag for fantasy managers -- while his 4.01 ERA over 137 innings and 24 starts doesn't properly align with his more favorable 3.55 FIP, his modest 7.8 K/9 and elevated 4.0 BB/9 dampen his overall appeal.

Jose Berrios SP | TOR
Blue Jays' Jose Berrios: Nabs eighth win
Berrios (8-4) earned the win Tuesday, allowing four runs (three earned) on seven hits and a walk over 5.1 innings against the Rockies. He struck out five.
Berrios was far from dominant but provided enough length to come away with the win. The right-hander has now allowed multiple runs in five straight outings, posting a 5.55 ERA and 1.52 WHIP over 24.1 innings in that stretch. Despite the recent dip in form, his season line remains solid with a 3.84 ERA and 1.26 WHIP across 131.1 innings in 23 starts.

Davis Martin SP | CHW
White Sox's Davis Martin: Handed ninth loss
Martin (3-9) allowed six runs (five earned) on seven hits and two walks while striking out five over five-plus innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Mariners.
Martin yielded two homers and ran into more trouble during the sixth by allowing the first three batters of the inning to reach base. Tyler Gilbert couldn't clean up the mess, and Martin ended up back in the loss column after winning against the Phillies in his previous start. For the season, Martin has a passable 4.11 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 68:28 K:BB through 96.1 innings across 17 appearances (16 starts). He's projected for a home start versus the Guardians this weekend.

Bryan Woo SP | SEA
Mariners' Bryan Woo: Bounces back Tuesday
Woo (9-6) allowed one run on two hits and struck out nine without walking a batter over seven innings to earn the win Tuesday over the White Sox.
While one of the two hits he allowed left the yard -- a solo shot from Lenyn Sosa in the first inning -- Woo was otherwise excellent to bounce back from giving up five runs in his last start. His nine strikeouts Tuesday also matched his season high, while it was the first time since May 24 versus the Astros that he was able to avoid issuing a walk. Woo is now at a 3.02 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 136:25 K:BB through 140 innings over 22 starts this season. He is projected to make his next start at home versus the Rays.

Tyler Wells SP | BAL
Orioles' Tyler Wells: Another scoreless rehab outing
Wells (elbow) allowed three hits and two walks in 2.1 scoreless innings for Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday. He struck out four.
Wells made his second rehab start, this time with the Triple-A club after pitching for Double-A Chesapeake his last time out, and he's now up to 4.1 shutout frames on his assignment. The right-hander built up to 49 pitches Tuesday amidst his recovery from UCL surgery, so he still has some work to do if the Orioles want to stretch him out to handle a starter's workload. Fantasy managers should expect Wells to make at least two more rehab appearances.

Zebby Matthews P | MIN
Twins' Zebby Matthews: Fans six in win
Matthews (3-3) allowed one run on five hits and a walk over five innings Tuesday, striking out six and earning a win over Detroit.
The lone blemish on Matthews' line came in the third inning on a Kerry Carpenter RBI double. Outside of that frame, Matthews allowed only one other runner to reach scoring position. It was a nice bounce-back outing after he coughed up five runs against Boston on July 30. He threw 86 pitches (55 strikes) and generated 12 whiffs Tuesday. Matthews has given up at least four runs in four of his eight MLB starts this season, resulting in a 5.17 ERA across 38.1 innings. He's projected to face the Royals at home this weekend.

Chris Paddack SP | DET
Tigers' Chris Paddack: Falls to former team
Paddack (4-10) allowed four runs on six hits over four innings while taking a loss against the Twins on Tuesday. He did not record a walk or a strikeout.
Paddack faced the Twins for the first time since being traded from Minnesota to Detroit in July and struggled right out of the gate. He gave up three runs in the first inning, including Luke Keaschall's two-run homer. Trevor Larnach later belted a solo shot in the fourth. Paddack threw only 57 pitches (44) strikes, his lowest pitch total in any outing this year. He produced two straight quality starts before Tuesday's hiccup, and he's now sporting a 4.91 ERA with an 88:27 K:BB through 121 frames. Paddack is expected to face the White Sox in Chicago next week.

A.J. Blubaugh P | HOU
Astros' AJ Blubaugh: Earns win Tuesday
Blubaugh (1-1) allowed two runs on three hits and a walk over five innings Tuesday, striking out five and earning a win over Miami.
Blubaugh entered the game in the third inning after Steven Okert and Kaleb Ort combined to allow one run in the first two frames. It was Blubaugh's second career MLB appearance and first since April 30. He coughed up a pair of solo homers to Jakob Marsee and Eric Wagaman but otherwise looked solid. With Spencer Arrighetti (thumb) and Cristian Javier (elbow) both potentially back within the next week, it's unclear if Blubaugh will see more action with the big club or head back to Triple-A Sugar Land. He's produced a 4.00 ERA and an 11:2 K:BB over nine MLB innings.

Nathan Eovaldi SP | TEX
Rangers' Nathan Eovaldi: Nearly flawless over eight frames
Eovaldi (10-3) earned the win Tuesday against the Yankees, allowing one hit and no walks in eight shutout innings. He struck out six.
Eovaldi was nearly untouchable while setting a season low in hits allowed, as he kept a formidable Yankees lineup at bay Tuesday. The 35-year-old veteran right-hander fired at least seven frames for the third time in his past four starts, and he's been simply magnificent when healthy in 2025. With a 1.38 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 111:20 K:BB over 111 frames for the year, Eovaldi will be looking to keep the good times rolling next week at home versus the Diamondbacks.
