  • Gage Ziehl SP | BOS

    White Sox's Gage Ziehl: Heads to White Sox in trade

    The White Sox acquired Ziehl from the Yankees on Wednesday in exchange for outfielder Austin Slater, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

    Recently promoted to High-A Hudson Valley, Ziehl has spent most of the 2025 season at Single-A Tampa, with whom he's posted a 4.00 ERA and 63:14 K:BB over 74.1 innings covering 14 starts. The 22-year-old was a fourth-round pick of the Yankees in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft.

  • White Sox's Adrian Houser: Scratched from Wednesday's start

    Houser was scratched from his scheduled start Wednesday against the Phillies, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

    Houser is on the trade block, and while he has not be dealt anywhere at this point, the White Sox are holding the righty out in anticipation of moving him ahead of Thursday's deadline, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post. Lefty Tyler Alexander is now scheduled to start Wednesday in what will likely be a bullpen game for Chicago.

  • Brandon Young SP | BAL

    Orioles' Brandon Young: Demoted after spot start

    The Orioles optioned Young to Double-A Chesapeake on Wednesday.

    Young was called up Tuesday to serve as the 27th man for the Orioles' doubleheader versus the Blue Jays. He drew the start in the second game of the twin bill, taking a no-decision despite limiting the Blue Jays to two earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out six over six innings. Though he'll head back to the minors for now, Young could be in line for a longer look in the rotation over the final two months of the season if the Orioles ship out a starter or two ahead of Thursday's trade deadline, although both Kyle Bradish (elbow) and Cade Povich (hip) are close to returning from the injured list.

  • Max Fried SP | NYY

    Yankees' Max Fried: Takes care of Tampa Bay

    Fried (12-4) got the win over the Rays on Tuesday, allowing four runs (two earned) on four hits and two walks while striking out nine in 6.2 innings.

    Fried allowed three runs through the first three frames, including a Jonny DeLuca two-run triple and a solo shot from Jonathan Aranda. Fried went on to retire 14 straight after allowing the home run and exited in the seventh after a two-out RBI double from Taylor Walls. Fried has issued multiple walks in four of his last five starts, but his nine strikeouts Tuesday tied for his second-highest total this season. Fried is sixth in the American League with a 2.62 ERA and 1.03 WHIP and lines up to take the mound next week against the Rangers.

  • Pierson Ohl RP | COL

    Twins' Pierson Ohl: Sent back to minors

    The Twins optioned Ohl to Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday.

    Ohl made his major-league debut in Tuesday's 8-5 loss to the Red Sox, allowing four runs over three innings as a starter. He could get another opportunity with the big club down the stretch, but for now, he'll return to a swingman role at St. Paul.

  • Guardians' Logan Allen: Goes seven innings in win

    Allen (7-9) earned the win over the Rockies on Tuesday, allowing two runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out three in seven innings.

    Allen provided the Guardians with some much-needed length, going seven innings for the first time since July 24, 2023. He was staked to a seven-run lead by the third inning and kept the Guardians well in front by inducing plenty of week contact. Allen's only major blemishes were a pair of solo home runs, and he's now allowed three runs or fewer in eight of his last nine starts. He's down to a 4.06 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 81:40 K:BB in 108.2 innings and lines up to face the Mets on the road next week.

  • Casey Mize SP | DET

    Tigers' Casey Mize: Bailed out by offense Tuesday

    Mize escaped with a no-decision in Tuesday's 12-2 rout of the Diamondbacks, giving up two runs (one earned) on three hits and three walks over just 1.2 innings. He struck out two.

    The right-hander couldn't stick around long enough to benefit from the Tigers' offensive fireworks, throwing just 33 of 59 pitches for strikes before getting the hook in his shortest outing of the season. Mize has looked gassed over his last three starts, surrendering 13 runs (11 earned) in only 8.2 innings to send his ERA shooting up from 2.63 to 3.43, and his recent struggles may put pressure on the Detroit front office to further bolster the rotation at the trade deadline after acquiring Chris Paddack from Minnesota. Mize will try to find his prior form in his next start, which lines up to come at home early next week against those same Twins.

  • Brandon Young SP | BAL

    Orioles' Brandon Young: Quality start in no-decision

    Young didn't factor into the decision in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Blue Jays, giving up two runs on six hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out six.

    The 26-year-old righty was up as the 27th man for the twin bill and came through with his first career quality start, tossing 61 of 86 pitches for strikes before exiting. Young may have been making his last start for Baltimore this season, as Kyle Bradish (elbow) and Cade Povich (hip) are both wrapping up rehab assignments, but he mostly hasn't looked ready for regular duty in the majors, posting a 6.63 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and 34:16 K:BB over his first 36.2 MLB innings.

  • Eric Lauer SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Eric Lauer: Stingy again in no-decision

    Lauer came away with a no-decision in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Orioles, giving up two runs on five hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out four.

    The southpaw fired 53 of 77 pitches for strikes, and the only damage off him came in the fourth inning, when a one-out triple by Ryan O'Hearn drove in one run before a groundout brought him home. Lauer allowed two runs or fewer in all five of his July outings, posting a 2.79 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and 30:3 K:BB through 29 innings on the month, but there's a chance he'll lose his rotation spot if the Blue Jays bring in a bigger-name starting pitcher at the trade deadline. If Lauer keeps his spot, he lines up to make his next start on the road early next week in Colorado.

  • Yusei Kikuchi SP | LAA

    Angels' Yusei Kikuchi: Peppered by Rangers in no-decision

    Kikuchi didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Rangers, allowing four runs (three earned) on 10 hits and no walks in 5.1 innings. He struck out five.

    While Kikuchi didn't issue a walk for the first time in his last seven starts, he did concede a season-high 10 knocks. The 34-year-old southpaw failed to throw a single spotless inning, though just one of his hits allowed traveled for extra bases. Kikuchi will bring a 3.30 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 132:54 K:BB across 128 frames into next week's scheduled home outing versus the struggling Rays, who carry a .580 OPS versus left-handed pitching since the start of July.
