  • Brayan Bello SP | BOS

    Red Sox's Brayan Bello: Stuck with loss Friday

    Bello (6-5) took the loss Friday as the Red Sox fell 5-2 to the Dodgers, giving up three runs on six hits and two walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out five.

    The right-hander didn't get much run support, but Bello didn't help his own cause in a shaky third inning that included a bases-loaded walk to Teoscar Hernandez after three straight singles. The outing snapped Bello's quality start streak at three, and it's only the second time in 10 trips to the mound since the beginning of June that he hasn't lasted six innings, a stretch in which he's delivered a 3.00 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 50:15 K:BB over 63 innings. Bello will look for a better result in his next start, which lines up to come on the road next week in Minnesota.

  • Will Warren P | NYY

    Yankees' Will Warren: Fans seven in no-decision

    Warren didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 12-5 loss to the Phillies, allowing two runs on five hits and three walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out seven.

    The right-hander fired 57 of 89 pitches for strikes as he fell one out short of his fourth quality start of the season, and Warren really made just one mistake, which Kyle Schwarber ripped over the right-center field fence for a two-run blast in the fifth inning. Warren has walked multiple batters in seven straight outings, a stretch in which he's stumbled to a 4.79 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 34:21 K:BB over 35.2 innings. He'll be a volatile fantasy option in his next start, which is scheduled to come at home next week against the Rays.

  • Nathan Eovaldi SP | TEX

    Rangers' Nathan Eovaldi: Fans seven in five shutout innings

    Eovaldi (8-3) picked up the win Friday against Atlanta, allowing three hits and four walks in five scoreless innings. He struck out seven.

    Eovaldi, who was scratched prior to his last scheduled start with a back issue, circumvented some trouble while tossing just one clean inning and walking a season-high four. It's possible the Rangers are becoming more cautious about Eovaldi's workload, as the veteran right-hander has reached the 90-pitch plateau in just one of his four starts in July. Eovaldi has still been magnificent when healthy in 2025, working to a 1.50 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 101:18 K:BB over 96 innings, and he's next set to toe the slab against the division-rival Angels in Anaheim.

  • Bryan Woo SP | SEA

    Mariners' Bryan Woo: Steady in no-decision

    Woo allowed two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out six over six innings in a no-decision versus the Angels on Friday.

    Woo allowed a two-run double to Jo Adell in the first inning but settled in from there. While he went a third start in a row without a win, Woo was able to bounce back pretty well after getting tagged for five runs (four earned) over six innings in his last start versus the Astros. The right-hander continues to be one of the steadiest innings-eating pitchers in the majors -- he still has yet to have a start shorter than six innings this season. He's maintained a 2.91 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 121:24 K:BB across 126.2 innings over 20 starts. His next outing is projected to be on the road versus the Athletics next week.

  • Jose Soriano RP | LAA

    Angels' Jose Soriano: Turns in quality start

    Soriano allowed two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out five over six innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Friday.

    Soriano gave up two home runs to Julio Rodriguez, but both were solo shots. This was Soriano's second quality start in a row, and while he's allowed three homers over those games, he's given up just four runs in 13 innings. For the season, he's at a 3.79 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 108:58 K:BB through 126 innings across 22 starts. The 26-year-old has already blown past his previous career high of 113 innings from last season, and he experienced arm fatigue last August, so it'll be important to keep an eye on how he holds up for the last two months of 2025. He's tentatively scheduled for a home start versus the Rangers next week.

  • Zack Littell SP | CIN

    Rays' Zack Littell: Tagged for five runs during loss

    Littell (8-8) took the loss Friday against the Reds, allowing five runs on 10 hits over six innings. He struck out two and didn't issue a walk.

    Littell was hurt by the long ball in Friday's loss, giving up a solo homer to Tyler Stephenson in the second inning and a two-run shot to TJ Friedl in the sixth. The five earned runs marked the 29-year-old's highest total allowed since April 10, snapping what had been a strong stretch. Entering the outing, Littell had posted a 2.43 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 22:6 K:BB across 29.2 innings in his last five outings. The right-hander will aim to return to that form in his next start, scheduled to be against the Yankees.

  • Ryan Gusto P | MIA

    Astros' Ryan Gusto: Lit up in fourth loss

    Gusto (6-4) allowed eight runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out five over 3.1 innings to take the loss Friday versus the Athletics.

    Filling in for a rotation that lost Lance McCullers (finger blister) and Brandon Walter (elbow), Gusto was unable to provide much length in his return to a starting role. He gave up two home runs, and reliever Nick Hernandez was tagged for another long ball just after Gusto's exit. Gusto is now at a 5.18 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 82:27 K:BB through 80 innings across 23 appearances (13 starts). The Astros have a full rotation's worth of pitchers on the injured list and none are expected back before August, so it's likely Gusto will be called on for at least one more start, which is projected to be at home versus the Nationals next week.

  • Athletics' Jeffrey Springs: Rebounds with quality start, win

    Springs (9-7) allowed two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out five over six innings to earn the win over the Astros on Friday.

    Springs received ample run support as the Athletics' offense unleashed a six-homer barrage, including four by rookie Nick Kurtz. Springs did well to never let the Astros get close, giving up just a two-run home run to Zack Short in the fifth inning. This was Springs' third quality start in his last four outings, a span in which he's surrendered 11 runs and four homers over 22.2 innings, though he has a 16:2 K:BB in that span. Overall, the southpaw is at a 4.13 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 95:39 K:BB through 120 innings over 22 appearances (20 starts this season). He's lined up for a home start versus the Mariners next week.

  • White Sox's Adrian Houser: Quality start in sixth win

    Houser (6-2) picked up the win Friday against the Cubs, allowing three runs on five hits and three walks in 6.2 innings. He struck out three.

    With the White Sox putting up multiple runs in four of the first five innings, Houser was cruising along until the seventh inning. The veteran right-hander still managed to post his ninth quality start in 11 outings, and he continues to be a pleasant surprise since joining Chicago's rotation in late May. Houser holds a 2.10 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 47:22 K:BB across 68.2 innings, and his expiring contract makes him a logical trade candidate ahead of Thursday's deadline. He's currently projected to next take the hill at home in a tough spot versus the Phillies.

  • Twins' Zebby Matthews: Tosses six scoreless frames in win

    Matthews (2-2) earned the win against the Nationals on Friday, allowing two hits while striking out seven across six scoreless innings. He did not issue a walk.

    Matthews was dominant in his first quality start of the season, limiting the Nationals to just three baserunners while generating 12 whiffs and seven groundballs on 81 pitches (54 strikes). It was his second start since being reinstated from the 15-day injured list July 19, and while he's had his struggles in the majors this season, Friday's outing lowered his numbers to a 4.97 ERA and 1.34 WHIP across 29 innings. Even with Bailey Ober (hip) nearing a return from the injured list, Matthews should stay in the Twins' rotation after David Festa (shoulder) landed on the 15-day IL on Wednesday. Matthews is slated to make his next start against the Guardians on the road next weekend.
