  • Patrick Corbin SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Patrick Corbin: Lasts just three frames Monday

    Corbin (2-3) took the loss against Philadelphia on Monday, allowing five runs on four hits and four walks while striking out three batters over three innings.

    Corbin got through a scoreless first inning but served up a two-run homer to Adolis Garcia in the second. Things got even worse for the veteran lefty in the third, as he yielded three runs on two hits, three walks and a hit-by-pitch. That was all Blue Jays manager John Schneider could handle, as he turned to the bullpen to begin the fourth. Overall, Corbin threw just 44 of 79 pitches for strikes and issued a season-high four free passes. After getting through May with a solid 3.65 ERA through 10 starts, he's taken a big step back to begin June, yielding nine runs over eight frames across his first two outings of the month. With Dylan Cease (hamstring) and Max Scherzer (forearm) set to come off the IL this week and Shane Bieber (elbow) not far behind them, Corbin's time in the rotation is quickly drawing to a close.

  • Gavin Williams SP | CLE

    Guardians' Gavin Williams: Serves up two homers in no-decision

    Williams allowed four runs (three earned) on four hits and three walks while striking out five batters over five innings in a no-decision against the Yankees on Monday.

    The positive aspect of Williams' outing is that he surrendered just four hits, but two of those left the park, and he also walked three batters. This was the second straight start -- both against the Yankees -- in which the right-hander allowed two long balls after doing so in just two of his first 12 appearances to begin the season. Williams has also seen his punchout numbers dip of late -- he's now recorded six or fewer strikeouts in three straight outings following a five-start stretch in which he averaged eight punchouts per appearance. However, Williams still leads the American League with 99 strikeouts overall, and he's added a strong 3.32 ERA and 1.10 WHIP along with nine wins (tied for first in the majors) through 14 starts spanning 86.2 frames.

  • Will Warren SP | NYY

    Yankees' Will Warren: Steps back with short outing Monday

    Warren allowed three runs (two earned) on three hits and two walks while striking out five batters over 4.1 innings in a no-decision against Cleveland on Monday.

    Warren came into Monday having tossed back-to-back six-inning quality starts, but he wasn't able to get out of the fifth frame against the Guardians. Most of the damage against the right-hander came in the third, when Cleveland put up three runs on three hits, a walk, a wild pitch and an error. Though Warren didn't give up any more runs thereafter, he ran his pitch count up throughout the contest and was at 91 pitches when he departed. While this was far from his best outing, Warren did manage to give up fewer than three earned runs for the 11th time across his 13 starts. That has him at a healthy 3.28 ERA along with a 1.19 WHIP and 75:21 K:BB over 68.2 innings on the season.

  • Mariners' Emerson Hancock: Another strong performance

    Hancock (5-2) earned the win Monday against the Orioles, allowing one run on three hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out three.

    Hancock continued to provide the Mariners with length, working at least five innings in each of his first 13 starts. Additionally, Monday marked his fifth consecutive outing where he gave up two runs or fewer. Aiming for his first career All-Star nod, Hancock is set to take a stellar 2.74 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 73:17 K:BB across 75.2 innings into a tough road test against an upstart Nationals lineup this weekend.

  • Trey Gibson SP | BAL

    Orioles' Trey Gibson: Falls apart in fifth inning

    Gibson (1-1) took the loss Monday against the Rays, allowing three runs on five hits and one walk in 4.2 innings. He failed to record a strikeout.

    Filling in for the injured Chris Bassitt (back), Gibson wasn't very effective in a spot start Monday. The rookie right-hander did make it through four scoreless innings initially, but the Mariners tagged him for three runs in the fifth frame. Gibson has looked overmatched at times in the major leagues, posting a 4.24 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and an alarming 5:8 K:BB over 17 innings, so he'll be tough to trust as a streaming option in his next scheduled start versus the Padres.

  • Connelly Early SP | WAS

    Red Sox's Connelly Early: Fans six in fourth loss

    Early (5-4) took the loss Monday against the Rays, allowing two runs on five hits and four walks in 4.2 innings. He struck out six.

    Early struggled with his control Monday, matching a season worst in walks allowed while tossing only 54 of his 96 pitches for strikes. On a more positive note, however, the 24-year-old right-hander did extend his streak of starts with at least five strikeouts to six. Early will carry a strong 3.30 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 69:27 K:BB over 71 innings into his next scheduled outing at home versus the Rangers.

  • Braden Nett SP | ATH

    Athletics' Braden Nett: Back from IL

    Nett (undisclosed) was activated from the 7-day injured list May 30.

    Nett has recovered from an undisclosed injury and has pitched in two games since being activated. He cruised in his May 30 outing against Triple-A Tacoma, tossing three scoreless frames while giving up one hit and two walks and striking out two. However, Nett was knocked around in his most recent appearance Saturday, surrendering five runs on four hits and four walks while striking out one over two-thirds of an inning.

  • Teddy McGraw SP | SEA

    Mariners' Teddy McGraw: Debuts at Double-A

    McGraw (elbow) struck out a batter and allowed one hit and one walk over one inning in his debut Friday for Double-A Arkansas after being assigned to the affiliate Thursday following his activation from High-A Everett's 7-day injured list.

    After opening the season on the shelf while recovering from an elbow issue, McGraw looked sharp during his rehab assignment, yielding just one run on eight hits and two walks while striking out five batters across eight innings over six appearances between the rookie-level Arizona Complex League and Single-A Inland Empire. The right-hander worked as a starter at Everett last season, but he'll bypass a return to High-A and looks set to continue his development out of the bullpen at Double-A.

  • Rangers' Caden Scarborough: Activated from IL

    Scarborough (melanoma) was activated from the 7-day injured list May 29.

    Scarborough managed to complete a rehab assignment in the Arizona Complex League in May and has since been deployed for a pair of starts since being activated from the IL by High-A Hub City. He's surrendered two runs on four hits and three walks while striking out six over seven innings across those two appearances.

  • Alex Faedo SP | TB

    Angels' Alex Faedo: Inks deal with Angels

    Faedo (shoulder) signed a minor-league contract with the Angels on May 21.

    Faedo has found a new club after being designated for assignment and eventually electing free agency last November. He underwent thoracic outlet syndrome surgery in August of 2025, but he appears to have returned to full strength after making two appearances in the Arizona Complex League earlier this month, surrendering four runs (three earned) on three hits and one walk while striking out four over 2.2 innings. Faedo figures to receive additional opportunities in the ACL as he goes through an abbreviated spring training and could eventually settle in at Triple-A, where he'll serve as organizational pitching depth.
