  • Aaron Civale SP | ATH

    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.

  • Marcus Stroman SP | NYY

    Yankees' Marcus Stroman: Sharp in second win

    Stroman (2-1) earned the win Sunday over Atlanta, allowing one run on five hits and no walks over six innings. He struck out four.

    Stroman delivered his first quality start of the season Sunday -- he'd blank Atlanta for five innings before eventually giving up a lone run on a Matt Olson homer in the sixth. The 34-year-old Stroman's pitched well since rejoining the Yankees in late June, posting a 3.00 ERA over four starts (15 innings) after struggling to an 11.57 ERA in his first three starts (9.1 innings) in April. Stroman is currently scheduled to face the Phillies at home his next time out.

  • Ryan Pepiot RP | TB

    Rays' Ryan Pepiot: Falls to Baltimore

    Pepiot (6-8) took the loss Sunday against the Orioles, allowing five runs on six hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out eight.

    Pepiot was plagued by the home-run ball Sunday -- he'd give up three solo shots, matching a season high, en route to a second straight loss. The 27-year-old Pepiot had posted a 2.79 ERA in 10 starts (58 innings) prior to the All-Star break. Overall, his ERA sits at 3.59 with a 1.16 WHIP and an impressive 118:38 K:BB through 21 starts (120.1 innings) this season. Pepiot is currently slated to face the Reds on the road in his next outing.

  • Trevor Rogers SP | BAL

    Orioles' Trevor Rogers: Keeps rolling Sunday

    Rogers (3-1) earned the win Sunday against the Rays, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out three.

    It's the third straight quality start for Rogers, who's been instrumental in stabilizing an injury-riddled Baltimore rotation since he was recalled in late May. The southpaw's posted a pristine 1.74 ERA with a 0.87 WHIP and 35:12 K:BB through seven starts (41.1 innings) this season. Rogers will look to keep rolling in his next outing, currently scheduled for next week at home against the Rockies.

  • Yankees' Cam Schlittler: On track to start Tuesday

    Schlittler (arm) said he felt good after Saturday's bullpen session and is scheduled to start Tuesday against the Blue Jays, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

    The right-hander was originally scheduled to start Friday's second-half opener against Atlanta, but he was pushed back due to arm soreness. Schlittler didn't have any issues during the bullpen session, clearing the way for him to rejoin the starting rotation during the upcoming week. The 24-year-old gave up three earned runs with a 7:2 K:BB over 5.1 frames in his major-league debut July 9 versus Seattle.
