  • Brayan Bello SP | BOS

    Red Sox's Brayan Bello: Pitching in suspended game

    Bello is scheduled to take the hill Wednesday when the Red Sox and Reds resume their game from Tuesday that was suspended in the top of the fourth inning, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

    Bello had been lined up to start the regularly scheduled game at 7:10 p.m. ET, but he'll instead pitch in the suspended game in what will mark his first appearance as a reliever since 2022. Because the game will resume in the fourth inning, Bello's workload will likely be more suppressed compared to a typical start, but he'll have an inside track at scooping up a win since he'll be taking the hill with the Red Sox holding a 2-1 lead. Bello has picked up just one win over his last 11 starts.

  • Reese Olson SP | DET

    Tigers' Reese Olson: Rejoining big-league rotation

    Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said that Olson's (finger) next start will be in the majors, and the right-hander could be activated from the 15-day injured list to pitch Friday in Cleveland, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Olson has been shelved since mid-May due to right ring finger inflammation but is ready to rejoin the Tigers rotation after making three rehab starts. He went four innings and threw 74 pitches in his most recent outing for Triple-A Toledo last Wednesday, so Olson will have a somewhat limited pitch count this weekend. The righty has been superb in nine starts for Detroit this season, collecting a 2.96 ERA and 51:19 K:BB over 48.2 innings.

  • Sean Burke P | CHW

    White Sox's Sean Burke: Following opener Wednesday

    Burke will pitch in bulk relief behind opening pitcher Brandon Eisert in Wednesday's game against the Dodgers, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

    The Dodgers typically have two left-handed hitters (Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman) in the top four spots in the order, so the White Sox will likely have the left-handed Eisert work the opening frame or two before turning the game over to the right-handed Burke. The 25-year-old has previously worked as a bulk reliever April 25 against the Athletics and May 30 against the Orioles, covering 11.1 innings between those appearances while striking out 11 and yielding six runs (five earned) on 10 hits and three walks.

  • Shane Baz SP | BAL

    Rays' Shane Baz: Racks up 11 strikeouts

    Baz allowed three runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out 11 in seven innings Tuesday against the Athletics. He did not factor into the decision.

    Baz tied his season high in strikeouts and became the first Rays pitcher since Shane McClanahan in 2022 with back-to-back starts of at least seven innings and nine strikeouts. All three runs against him were via the long ball, as Max Muncy hit a two-run shot in the fourth and Shea Langeliers launched a solo blast in the sixth. Baz now has a 20:2 K:BB over his last two outings and is showing incredible command after issuing 11 walks over his previous three starts. He lines up to make his next start on the road against Tigers next week.

  • Astros' Colton Gordon: Settles for no-decision

    Gordon did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing four runs on nine hits and two walks over 4.2 innings against the Rockies. He struck out three.

    The left-hander gave up a first-inning homer to Hunter Goodman and went on to allow a season-high nine hits, but he managed to limit the damage enough to help the Astros secure a win Tuesday. Gordon has been steady, if unspectacular, through nine starts this season, posting a 3-1 record with a 4.37 ERA and 1.41 WHIP over 45.1 innings.

  • Athletics' Jeffrey Springs: Falls short of quality start

    Springs allowed two runs on four hits and three walks while striking out four in 5.1 innings Tuesday against the Rays. He did not factor into the decision.

    Springs was hurt by the home run ball, with Christopher Morel and Brandon Lowe both taking him deep for solo blasts in the second and third innings, respectively. Springs was otherwise able to limit the damage, though he fell short of a quality start after Junior Caminero knocked him out of the game with a one-out double in the sixth. Springs has now allowed three earned runs or fewer in 11 of 12 starts dating back to the beginning of May, but he has just one win since May 18. Springs is projected to take the mound again next week versus Atlanta.

  • Gavin Williams SP | CLE

    Guardians' Gavin Williams: Takes fourth loss

    Williams (5-4) took the loss Tuesday, allowing four runs on seven hits and four walks over 5.2 innings in a 5-2 loss against the Cubs. He struck out two.

    Williams had trouble with command and putting hitters away Tuesday, issuing more walks than strikeouts for the second consecutive outing. The 25-year-old owns a 3.86 ERA through 17 starts and 86.1 innings this season, an improvement from his 4.86 ERA over 76.0 innings in 2024. However, a rise in WHIP (1.37 to 1.46), walk rate (3.8 to 5.1 BB/9) and FIP (3.66 to 4.76) suggests regression could be on the horizon. How the young right-hander holds up down the stretch as the Guardians try to stay in the playoff hunt will be worth monitoring.

  • Jacob deGrom SP | TEX

    Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Six Ks in six strong frames Tuesday

    DeGrom (9-2) notched the win Tuesday against Baltimore, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out six.

    The star right-hander extended his streak of quality starts to six, tossing at least six innings while yielding two runs or fewer each time during that stretch. DeGrom served up a home run Tuesday for the first time in his last six outings. Over 101.1 innings in 2025, deGrom boasts a 2.13 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 100:21 K:BB, and he is tentatively projected to take the ball next week against the Angels in Anaheim.

  • Brandon Young SP | BAL

    Orioles' Brandon Young: Struggles persist in third loss

    Young (0-3) took the loss Tuesday against Texas, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks in four innings. He struck out four.

    Young has now failed to throw at least five innings or give up fewer than three runs in any of his first four starts in 2025. Through these 16.2 frames, the 26-year-old rookie right-hander holds a ghastly 7.02 ERA, 1.98 WHIP and 15:11 K:BB. His next turn in Baltimore's rotation is tentatively slated for next week against a formidable Mets lineup, and it's possible that Young will stick around in the major leagues due to the absences of both Zach Eflin (back) and Cade Povich (hip).

  • Tyler Anderson SP | LAA

    Angels' Tyler Anderson: Fans seven in six scoreless innings

    Anderson didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against Atlanta, allowing four hits and two walks in six scoreless innings. He struck out seven.

    The soft-throwing left-hander kept the Atlanta batters off balance throughout his outing, producing 15 whiffs en route to matching a season high in punchouts. It was also Anderson's first scoreless appearance since April 18 and his first quality start since May 27. The veteran southpaw will take a 4.12 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 77:35 K:BB over 91.2 innings into his next scheduled start against the red-hot Blue Jays, who are hitting .289 versus left-handed pitching since and including May 28.
