  • Hunter Brown SP | HOU

    Astros' Hunter Brown: Lasts just four innings

    Brown didn't factor into the decision Sunday against the Mariners, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks with seven strikeouts across four innings.

    Brown didn't pitch into the fifth inning for the first time this season, continuing his recent stretch of poor play. In his last three starts, Brown has allowed 13 runs with an 18:7 K:BB across 15 innings. He had allowed 21 runs in his first 104 innings of the season. Overall, he has a 2.57 ERA and a 144:36 K:BB. He'll look to get back on track during his next start, which is slated to come against the Athletics.

  • Bryan Woo SP | SEA

    Mariners' Bryan Woo: Hit hard by Astros

    Woo (8-5) took the loss Sunday against Houston, allowing five runs (four earned) on six hits and one walk across six innings. He struck out six.

    Woo's streak of excellent play came to a crashing halt Sunday, having tallied a 1.11 ERA across his last five starts before tying his season high in runs allowed. He yielded three extra-base hits in the loss, including home runs to Taylor Trammell and Christian Walker. Despite the hiccup, Woo owns a 2.91 ERA and a 115:22 K:BB across 120.2 innings pitched. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Angels next time out.

  • Red Sox's Garrett Crochet: Another W

    Crochet (11-4) picked up the win Sunday against the Cubs, allowing one run on eight hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out five.

    Crochet hasn't lost since May, having racked up seven wins in his last nine starts -- including four consecutive victories. While Sunday's start was excellent, he did snap a streak of nine consecutive outings with at least seven strikeouts. In 135.1 innings this season, Crochet owns a 2.19 ERA and 165:36 K:BB. He's on track to face the Dodgers his next time out.

  • Tarik Skubal SP | DET

    Tigers' Tarik Skubal: Dominant in no-decision

    Skubal allowed one run on four hits and no walks over 6.2 innings with 11 strikeouts in a no-decision Sunday at Texas.

    The reigning AL Cy Young award winner was in peak form during this 105-pitch outing, generating an astounding 20 whiffs to notch his seventh double-digit strikeout performance of the season. Skubal also picked up his 12th quality start, as the only blemish on his evening came when Adolis Garcia scored on a wild pitch in the seventh. The 28-year-old southpaw has been masterful through 127.2 total frames, pitching to a 2.19 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 164:16 K:BB. Skubal is currently slated to make his next start in Detroit's upcoming four-game home series against Toronto later this week.

  • Aaron Civale RP | CHC

    White Sox's Aaron Civale: Cruises to easy win

    Civale (2-6) allowed an unearned run on three hits and a walk over six innings Sunday, striking out six and earning a win over the Pirates.

    Civale gave up one unearned run in the third inning but otherwise faced little trouble in his first quality start of the year. It was the second time this season he completed at least six innings and his first appearance without allowing an earned run. Civale had walked multiple batters in four straight outings before Sunday and now owns a 42:23 K:BB after punching out a season-high six batters. He dropped his ERA to 4.76 across 58.2 frames between the Brewers and White Sox. Civale is projected for a home matchup against the Cubs next weekend.

  • Jose Soriano RP | LAA

    Angels' Jose Soriano: Goes seven strong in win

    Soriano (7-7) earned the win against the Phillies on Sunday, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks with five strikeouts over seven innings.

    Soriano was staked to an early lead and mostly cruised, allowing just one extra-base hit while throwing 60 of 93 pitches for strikes and generating nine whiffs. It was a solid rebound for the 26-year-old after he surrendered 10 runs (six earned) over his final two starts before the All-Star break. He's now completed seven frames seven times this season and will carry a 3.83 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 103:57 K:BB across 120 innings into a home matchup with the Mariners next weekend.

  • Kris Bubic SP | KC

    Royals' Kris Bubic: Delivers five shutout frames

    Bubic (8-6) allowed three hits and a walk over five scoreless innings Sunday, striking out two and earning a win over the Marlins.

    Bubic cruised through five shutout innings on just 66 pitches with little threat from Miami. He left with a 6-0 lead, which may be part of the reason he didn't go deeper in the contest, but his velocity was also down across the board. Specifically, his fastball averaged just 90.5 mph, down from his usual 92.3 mph. Bubic posted a 4.86 ERA in his last six outings before the All-Star break but still owns a terrific 2.38 ERA with a 115:35 K:BB over 113.2 innings. He's currently lined up for a home matchup with Cleveland next weekend.

  • Ryan Yarbrough RP | NYY

    Yankees' Ryan Yarbrough: Hasn't progressed to mound work

    Yarbrough (oblique) began a throwing program July 9 but hasn't yet thrown from a mound, per MLB.com.

    Yarbrough landed on the injured list June 22 after being diagnosed with a right oblique strain. The left-hander was initially shut down from throwing before beginning a progression July 9. However, Yarbrough's ramp-up has been slow, as he hasn't yet advanced to tossing from a mound. With that in mind, the veteran hurler probably won't be ready to return to the Yankees until sometime in August.

  • Luis Gil SP | NYY

    Yankees' Luis Gil: Fans seven in second rehab start

    Gil (lat) tossed 3.1 innings Friday in a rehab appearance with Double-A Somerset, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks while striking out seven batters.

    As in his first rehab outing, Gil completed exactly 3.1 frames, though he upped his pitch count from 50 to 57 on Friday. While he's allowed two homers over 6.2 innings in his pair of minor-league outings so far, the right-hander has also flashed dominant stuff with 13 punchouts. Per MLB.com, Gil is next scheduled to pitch July 23 with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, and he's slated to work up to 65 pitches in that start. If that goes well, Gil could be activated shortly thereafter.

  • Joe Ryan SP | MIN

    Twins' Joe Ryan: Fans 11, matching season high

    Ryan (10-4) took home the win in Sunday's victory over Colorado, allowing one run on five hits while striking out 11 over seven innings.

    Ryan continues to build on what's shaping up to be the best season of his career, tossing seven innings for the fifth time this year. The right-hander missed bats consistently, tying his season high with 11 strikeouts, and limited damage, with his lone blemish coming via a solo homer to Mickey Moniak in the third inning. Ryan has been lights-out over his last five outings, sporting a 1.45 ERA with a sharp 36:3 K:BB across 31 innings. Now sitting at a 2.63 ERA and 0.90 WHIP on the season, the 29-year-old will look to keep rolling in his next start, scheduled for Saturday against the Nationals.
