  • Kyle Hendricks SP | LAA

    Angels' Kyle Hendricks: Lasts just 3.1 frames Wednesday

    Hendricks allowed five runs on six hits and three walks while striking out four batters over 3.1 innings in a no-decision against the Dodgers on Wednesday.

    Hendricks fell behind quickly, giving up a leadoff triple to Shohei Ohtani followed by a run-scoring single by Mookie Betts. Two batters later, Will Smith got to the veteran righty for a two-run homer, setting the tone for the hurler's poor night. Hendricks did manage to rebound with a scoreless second and third frame, but he was pulled with one out in the fourth after loading the bases on two walks and an infield single, and two of the three baserunners he turned over to the bullpen came around to score. This was Hendricks' second-shortest outing of the season, trailing just his seven-run, three-inning performance against Minnesota in late April. Though he's managed to hang onto a spot in the Angels' rotation, Hendricks has submitted a poor 4.87 ERA and 1.27 WHIP through 23 starts spanning 120 innings on the campaign.

  • Joe Ryan SP | MIN

    Twins' Joe Ryan: Reliable work continues in win

    Ryan (12-5) earned the win Wednesday against the Yankees, allowing one run on four hits and two walks in 6.2 innings. He struck out seven.

    Ryan has been a model of consistency for the Twins in 2025, having now spun at least five innings in each of his first 24 starts of the year. The All-Star right-hander has yielded greater than two runs on just six occasions all season, and he's fanned at least five 19 times on the campaign. Ryan will tote a stellar 2.72 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 153:27 K:BB through 139 frames into his next scheduled outing, which lines up to come against the Athletics at home.

  • Yankees' Cam Schlittler: Six Ks in five impressive innings

    Schlittler didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against the Twins, allowing one run on two hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out six.

    Schlittler worked at least five innings for a third straight start and for the fifth time this season among six outings. The two hits allowed established a season low for the rookie right-hander, who also conceded a season-best one run. Schlittler has a useful 3.94 ERA and 30:14 K:BB over 29.2 innings, but his 1.52 WHIP is cause for concern heading into his next scheduled start in Tampa Bay against the Rays.

  • Trevor Rogers SP | BAL

    Orioles' Trevor Rogers: Goes seven innings in no-decision

    Rogers did not factor into the decision in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Mariners, allowing one run on four hits and no walks with six strikeouts over seven innings.

    Rogers opened with six scoreless innings before allowing a run in the seventh and was in line for the win before the Mariners rallied in the ninth. The southpaw generated 15 whiffs on 95 pitches and has now tossed seven consecutive quality starts, allowing two earned runs or fewer in 10 of 11 outings this season. He'll carry a microscopic 1.43 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 60:15 K:BB across 69.1 innings into a road matchup with the Red Sox early next week.

  • Logan Gilbert SP | SEA

    Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Logs quality start in no-decision

    Gilbert did not factor into the decision in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Orioles, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks with six strikeouts over 6.1 innings.

    Gilbert cruised through six scoreless innings before recording just one out and allowing two runs in the seventh. Despite the late stumble, the 28-year-old generated seven whiffs on his slider and needed only 79 pitches to log his third quality start in his past five outings. He'll carry a 3.31 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 124:23 K:BB across 89.2 innings into a road matchup with the Phillies early next week.

  • Kevin Gausman SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Kevin Gausman: Hard-luck loss in excellent outing

    Gausman (7-7) took the loss Wednesday against the Cubs, allowing two runs on three hits and one walk in seven innings. He struck out three.

    Wednesday represented Gausman's fifth start in a row of at least six innings, and he's given up two runs or fewer on four occurrences during that stretch. The veteran right-hander is also up to nine consecutive outings of at least five frames, though he did serve up two home runs Wednesday for the second time in his last three starts. Gausman has a strong 2.96 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 48:15 K:BB over his last 48.2 innings (eight starts), and he's set for a favorable matchup in Pittsburgh against the last-place Pirates his next time out.

  • Gavin Williams SP | CLE

    Guardians' Gavin Williams: Jumped early in no-decision

    Williams did not factor into the decision in Wednesday's 13-4 loss to the Marlins, allowing four runs on five hits and one walk with four strikeouts over three innings.

    Williams allowed four runs on two homers in the first inning and exited after 75 pitches, with just three frames marking his shortest outing since April 28. The rough start snaps a streak of four consecutive quality starts for the 26-year-old, and the early hook was understandable after he threw a career-high 126 pitches in a no-hit bid last week. He owns a 3.38 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 127:67 K:BB across 128 innings and will look to rebound in a road matchup with the Diamondbacks early next week.

  • Red Sox's Walker Buehler: Continues struggling for strikeouts

    Buehler (7-7) took the loss Wednesday against the Astros, allowing four runs on four hits and four walks in six innings. He struck out three.

    The four runs allowed were Buehler's most since his June 29 start versus the Blue Jays, although he did manage to toss at least six innings for the fourth time in his last six outings. The 31-year-old right-hander hasn't fanned more than four since striking out seven June 11 against the Rays, and he's walked multiple batters on eight occasions during that 10-start stretch. Buehler does have a palatable 3.67 ERA across 39 innings since the beginning of July, but his 1.49 WHIP and 19:18 K:BB during this period sets him up as a volatile fantasy option next week at home versus the Orioles.

  • Hunter Brown SP | HOU

    Astros' Hunter Brown: Fires 6.2 strong innings in win

    Brown (10-5) earned the win Wednesday against the Red Sox, allowing one run on six hits and three walks in 6.2 innings. He struck out four.

    It was another strong performance from the All-Star right-hander, who pitched at least five innings while yielding two runs or fewer for a fourth consecutive start. While the four punchouts tied for his second-lowest total of the year, Brown is now up to 10 outings of at least six frames while surrendering one run or no runs in 2025. Brown will take an excellent 2.45 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 164:43 K:BB over 143 frames into his next scheduled appearance, which is likely to come in Detroit against the first-place Tigers.

  • Merrill Kelly SP | ARI

    Rangers' Merrill Kelly: Solid vs. former team

    Kelly did not factor into the decision in Wednesday's loss to the Diamondbacks. He gave up two runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out five across six innings.

    Facing his former team, Kelly turned in a solid bounce-back effort after giving up four runs in just 4.1 frames in his previous outing against the Phillies. The 36-year-old Kelly has held opponents to two runs or fewer in six of his last seven starts. His ERA sits at 3.36 with a 1.09 WHIP and 136:44 K:BB across 25 starts (144.2 innings) between Texas and Arizona. Kelly is currently lined up to face the Royals on the road in his next start.
