  • Logan Gilbert SP | SEA

    Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Roughed up in fifth inning

    Gilbert (3-4) allowed four runs on three hits and three walks while striking out seven over five innings to take the loss versus the Angels on Sunday.

    Gilbert got through four innings with little trouble, but the Angels put together a four-run rally in the fifth capped by a Mike Trout home run. Gilbert wasn't at his best with control -- in addition to matching his season high with three walks, he also unleashed two wild pitches. The right-hander allowed 12 runs (nine earned) over 26.2 innings while posting a 38:10 K:BB in five July starts. He's now at a 3.36 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 105:18 K:BB through 72.1 innings over 14 starts this season. Gilbert's next start is projected to be at home versus the Rangers.

  • Kyle Hendricks SP | LAA

    Angels' Kyle Hendricks: Sharp in win over Mariners

    Hendricks (6-7) allowed one run on two hits and a walk while striking out three over six-plus innings to earn the win over the Mariners on Sunday.

    Hendricks was efficient, throwing 48 of 71 pitches for strikes. His last offering was taken out by Cal Raleigh to lead off the seventh inning, which ended Hendricks' start, but it was still a good performance from the veteran right-hander after he had allowed 11 runs (10 earned) over his previous three starts spanning 13.2 innings. He also came away with his first win since June 17 versus the Yankees. On the year, Hendricks has a 4.73 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 70:26 K:BB through 106.2 innings across 20 starts. He is tentatively projected to make his next start at home versus the White Sox.

  • Red Sox's Walker Buehler: No-decision vs. former team

    Buehler did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Dodgers, allowing three runs on four hits and five walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out four.

    Buehler's final line certainly could have looked a lot worse, as the right-hander struggled again with his command -- Buehler's issued 23 walks over just 34 innings in his last seven starts. His ERA now sits at a subpar 5.72 on the year with a 1.54 WHIP and 71:41 K:BB across 18 starts (89.2 innings). Buehler is currently lined up to face the Astros at home in his next outing.

  • Orioles' Tomoyuki Sugano: Picks up eighth win

    Sugano (8-5) earned the win Sunday over the Rockies, allowing a run on four hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out eight.

    It was an impressive outing from Sugano, who matched a season high with his eight strikeouts while allowing a lone run on a Warming Bernabel homer in the second inning. It's the second quality start in three outings since the All-Star break for Sugano. The 35-year-old right-hander lowered his ERA to 4.38 with a 1.33 WHIP and 71:28 K:BB across 20 starts (109 innings) this season. Sugano is currently scheduled to face the Cubs on the road his next time out.

  • Astros' Colton Gordon: Saddled with third loss

    Gordon (4-3) took the loss Sunday against the Athletics, yielding four runs on six hits and no walks over five innings with six strikeouts.

    The Houston southpaw opened the first frame by conceding solo homers to Miguel Andujar and Shea Langeliers and was unable to recover. Gordon tossed 99 pitches, 66 of which were strikes, as he did manage to notch six Ks for the first time in seven appearances, dating back to May 31. Across 62.2 total frames, the 26-year-old rookie sports a 4.74 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 54:11 K:BB. Gordon is currently slated to make his next start at Boston next weekend; however, his future in the Astros rotation may be limited as Luis Garcia (elbow), Cristian Javier (elbow) and Lance McCullers (blister) all are nearing returns from their respective injuries.

  • Jack Leiter P | TEX

    Rangers' Jack Leiter: Earns win over Atlanta

    Leiter (7-6) allowed a run on two hits and three walks while striking out seven over six innings to earn the win over Atlanta on Sunday.

    Leiter allowed three of those baserunners and the lone run on his line in the second inning, but he settled down well after that and received plenty of run support. He's won three starts in a row, allowing just six runs over his last 17.1 innings despite a 20:11 K:BB in that span. Leiter is now at a 4.09 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 83:45 K:BB through 92.1 innings across 18 starts this season. His next start is projected to be at Seattle.

  • Sean Burke P | CHW

    White Sox's Sean Burke: Fans eight in bulk role

    Burke conceded two runs on five hits and one walk over 4.2 innings while not factoring into the decision in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Cubs. He struck out eight.

    Burke followed rookie opener Grant Taylor in the series finale. The 25-year-old righty managed to generate a solid 14 whiffs out of 91 total pitches to notch a season-high eight punchouts. Burke, who has tossed 101 innings this season, is rapidly approaching his career high in innings pitched, as his previous best came in 2022 when he fired 108 frames across three minor-league levels. Accordingly, the White Sox will likely find creative ways to manage his usage going forward. The former Maryland Terrapin will carry a 4.17 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 93:48 K:BB into his next appearance -- whether Burke will start or follow an opener is unknown -- at the Angels next weekend.

  • Casey Mize SP | DET

    Tigers' Casey Mize: Pushed back to Tuesday

    Mize is slated to make his next start Tuesday's against the Diamondbacks in Detroit, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Mize was originally expected to start Monday's series opener, but he'll be pushed back a day in the schedule as a precaution after minor knee soreness resulted in his between-starts throwing program being delayed a bit. The right-hander's knee isn't expected to be a concern heading into his start Tuesday, when he'll look to get back on track after allowing 10 runs over seven innings in his last two outings.

  • Troy Melton P | DET

    Tigers' Troy Melton: Next start coming Monday

    Melton will start Monday's series opener against the Diamondbacks in Detroit, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Melton had been lined up to make his second career start Tuesday, but he'll end up being pushed up a day after Casey Mize needed a little extra time to recover from a minor knee issue. Despite surrendered six earned runs on seven hits and two walks over five frames in his major-league debut against the Pirates last Wednesday, Melton looks set to maintain a spot in the rotation over Keider Montero, who was optioned to Triple-A Toledo earlier in the weekend.

  • Bailey Ober SP | MIN

    Twins' Bailey Ober: Should make next start in majors

    Ober (hip) is likely to return from the 15-day injured list to make his next start with the Twins sometime this week, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

    The right-hander made his second rehab start with Triple-A St. Paul on Friday and allowed one run across five innings while building up to 65 pitches, setting him up to rejoin Minnesota's rotation. Ober has been sidelined nearly a month due to a hip impingement and could have some minor workload limitations in his first outing back in the majors. The 30-year-old struggled in his last five starts before landing on the shelf with a 9.00 ERA and 14 home runs allowed over 30 innings.
