  • Trevor Rogers SP | BAL

    Orioles' Trevor Rogers: Turns in no-decision

    Rogers allowed two runs on three hits and three walks while striking out five over 5.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Rangers on Monday.

    Rogers allowed a two-run home run to Marcus Semien in the sixth inning, which was the only scoring play he allowed. Rogers exited in line for the win, but Seranthony Dominguez was unable to protect a 3-2 lead in the seventh. Rogers is up to four starts in the majors this season, and he's pitched to a 2.05 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 18:6 K:BB over 22 innings. He appears to have a good path to starts for much of July as Zach Eflin (back) and Cade Povich (hip) are both on the injured list. Rogers' next start is projected to be this weekend in Atlanta.

  • Rays' Drew Rasmussen: Has shortest start of season

    Rasmussen took a no-decision after throwing three innings, allowing four runs on five hits and one walk while striking out two, during Monday's 6-4 loss to the Athletics.

    Rasmussen has pitched into at least the fifth inning in each of his 16 prior starts, but didn't even make it into the fourth inning Monday. The 29-year-old allowed four runs, tied for his most in an outing all year, and only threw 54 pitches before his evening came to an end. It was an early ambush from the Athletics that accounted for most of the damage, with Shea Langeliers hitting just the third home run that Rasmussen has allowed in his last nine starts. The right-hander will have a chance to rebound over the weekend as his next scheduled start is Sunday at the Twins.

  • Jacob Lopez RP | ATH

    Athletics' Jacob Lopez: Settles for no-decision

    Lopez settled for a no-decision after throwing 3.1 innings Monday against the Rays, allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits and one walk while striking out one.

    Flying high entering play on a three-game streak of quality starts, Lopez was perfect through the first three innings, but the wheels came off quickly his second time through the Tampa Bay order. The left-hander didn't have his best stuff, striking out only one batter, and the four runs he allowed Monday doubled the amount of runs he'd allowed in his last four starts combined, a stretch of time spanning 23 innings. Despite his tough outing, the 27-year-old still carries an ERA of 3.88 through 46.1 innings on the season. The Giants await Lopez in his next start, scheduled for Sunday.

  • Red Sox's Garrett Crochet: Earns eighth win

    Crochet (8-4) earned the win after throwing six innings, allowing five runs (four earned) on seven hits and one walk while striking out nine, during Monday's 13-6 win over the Reds.

    From a run prevention standpoint, Crochet had one of his worst outings of the season, tying a season high with five runs allowed. However, he was given a 7-0 lead before he threw his first pitch, so it proved not to matter. Even if some runs got on the board, the 26-year-old continued to befuddle batters as he struck out nine Reds to make it seven starts in a row with seven or more strikeouts. The left-hander continues to be one of the best in the game retiring batters via strikeout as he's leading all of MLB with 144 on the season.

  • Carlos Rodon SP | NYY

    Yankees' Carlos Rodon: Goes five frames in no-decision

    Rodon did not factor into the decision in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Blue Jays. He allowed two runs on five hits and three walks over five innings with four strikeouts.

    The New York southpaw did not have his sharpest stuff in this 96-pitch outing, as he generated only seven whiffs. Rodon equaled his season low with just four four Ks, previously set June 8 at Boston. Despite his struggles, the 32-year-old managed to hold the Toronto lineup relatively in check, yielding three singles and two doubles. Rodon will carry a 2.95 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 123:37 K:BB across 106.2 total innings into his next start, which currently lines up to be at the Mets this weekend.

  • Max Scherzer SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Max Scherzer: Fans seven in no-decision

    Scherzer yielded two runs on three hits and no walks over five innings in a no-decision Monday against the Yankees. He struck out seven.

    The grizzled veteran managed to generate a solid eight whiffs in this 71-pitch outing while also notching seven or more Ks for the first time since July 25, 2024 versus the White Sox. Scherzer conceded both runs on a two-run blast to Jazz Chisholm in the fourth but otherwise looked sharp. Across 13 total frames, the 40-year-old sports a 4.85 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 12:3 K:BB. He is currently slated to make his next start at home against the Angels this weekend.

  • Cade Povich SP | BAL

    Orioles' Cade Povich: Pulled off rehab with sore hip

    Povich has been pulled off his rehab assignment due to renewed soreness in his left hip, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

    Povich threw 75 pitches in a rehab start with Triple-A Norfolk last Thursday but evidently he came out of the appearance with lingering soreness in his injured hip. The Orioles have not yet determined what the next step for Povich is, but his return to the big-league rotation has been delayed indefinitely.

  • Brandon Young SP | BAL

    Orioles' Brandon Young: Slated to start Tuesday

    Young will start Tuesday's game versus the Rangers in place of the injured Charlie Morton (elbow), Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Morton is battling elbow tendinitis but is expected to be ready to start Friday in Atlanta. However, with Cade Povich (hip) experiencing a setback on his rehab assignment, Young could be needed for multiple turns in the Orioles rotation. The rookie right-hander holds a 7.11 ERA and 1.97 WHIP in 12.2 innings over his three starts with the big club this season.

  • Charlie Morton SP | ATL

    Orioles' Charlie Morton: Next start coming Friday

    Morton's next start has been pushed back from Tuesday in Texas to Friday in Atlanta due to low-grade right elbow tendinitis, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Brandon Young will draw a spot start Tuesday in Morton's place. While the Orioles are optimistic that Morton will be ready to go after a few extra days of rest, he will likely need to get through a bullpen session this week before being cleared to start Friday.

  • Tyler Mahle SP | SF

    Rangers' Tyler Mahle: Out past trade deadline

    Rangers president of baseball operations Chris Young said Monday that Mahle has been diagnosed with a right rotator cuff strain and will not return until after the July 31 trade deadline, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

    The Rangers are hopeful that the shoulder injury won't be a long-term concern, but Mahle has been prescribed some extended rest before he begins ramping back up once he's cleared to start a throwing progression. Mahle has already been sidelined for the past two weeks and is set to miss several more weeks of action before returning from the 15-day injured list.
