  • Payton Tolle SP | BOS

    Red Sox's Payton Tolle: Punches out six in shaky start

    Tolle took a no-decision against the Mariners on Monday, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks in 5.2 innings. He struck out six.

    Tolle had a hard time with hard contact Monday, giving up three extra-base hits on the evening in a rough outing. He surrendered more than three runs for the first time since July 20 versus the Orioles, but he's now pitched at least five innings in eight consecutive starts. The left-hander will try to rebound his next time out in Baltimore, still holding a strong 3.23 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 147:37 K:BB over 131 innings on the campaign.

  • Jackson Jobe SP | DET

    Tigers' Jackson Jobe: Hit hard in second loss

    Jobe (1-2) took the loss against the Twins on Monday, allowing five runs (four earned) on six hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out four.

    It was a shaky outing all around by Jobe, who served up a pair of home runs and two doubles as well. On a positive note, the 24-year-old right-hander did touch the 90-pitch marker for the first time this season, an important milestone amid his comeback from Tommy John surgery in May of 2025. He'll be looking to get back on track over the weekend in Cleveland, carrying a rocky 4.63 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 19:10 K:BB over his first 23.1 innings.

  • Taj Bradley SP | MIN

    Twins' Taj Bradley: Strikes out nine in win No. 10

    Bradley (10-6) notched the win against the Tigers on Monday, allowing one run on four hits and three walks in seven innings. He struck out nine.

    Hao-Yu Lee left the lone blemish in Bradley's line with a sixth-inning solo shot in an otherwise dominant performance by the hurler. Control remains a bit of an issue for the right-hander, who has walked multiple hitters in nine of his last 10 starts, but he's tallied at least seven punchouts in three straight outings. He's scheduled to close a two-start week against the White Sox this weekend in Chicago, where he'll take a 3.85 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 178:66 K:BB over 154.1 innings.

  • Ryan Weathers SP | NYY

    Yankees' Ryan Weathers: Could resume throwing soon

    The Yankees are hopeful that Weathers (forearm) will be cleared to resume throwing at some point this week, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

    Manager Aaron Boone had previously reported that Weathers, who landed on the 15-day IL on Aug. 23 with a left forearm flexor strain, would be shut down from throwing for 2-to-4 weeks. While it seems the lefty is ahead of the team's initial timeline, he'll likely need a few weeks to work through a throwing program and ensure a full recovery.

  • Michael Massey SP | DET

    Tigers' Michael Massey: Back at full strength

    Massey (elbow) was activated from the 60-day injured list Friday.

    It's not exactly clear as to when Massey underwent UCL surgery, but he was placed on the 7-day injured list to begin the 2025 campaign and was then transferred to the 60-day IL in April 2025. He's since made a full recovery and made his professional debut at Single-A Lakeland on Friday, where he allowed two runs on one hit and two walks while striking out two over 1.2 innings.

  • Henry Baez SP | ATH

    Athletics' Henry Baez: Shelved at Double-A

    Double-A Midland placed Baez on the 7-day injured list Aug. 5 due to an unspecified injury.

    Baez has hit the shelf on two occasions this season, with another injury costing him about five weeks of action earlier in 2026. The 23-year-old righty possesses a spot on the Athletics' 40-man roster, but he's not believed to be in the mix for a September call-up, especially while he's on the mend from another injury. Baez owns a 7.09 ERA and 1.73 WHIP across 53.1 innings over his 14 starts for Midland on the season.

  • J.T. Ginn SP | ATH

    Athletics' J.T. Ginn: Next start pushed back

    Ginn will no longer start Tuesday's game against the Rangers, as the Athletics want to give him additional rest before his next outing, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Ginn has already logged a career-high 138.1 innings this season, so the decision to push him back could simply be about managing his workload. The right-hander is expected to make a start later this week in Seattle, though the exact date hasn't been revealed.

  • Joe Ryan SP | MIN

    Twins' Joe Ryan: Scheduled for rehab start Tuesday

    Ryan (glute) is scheduled to make a rehab start Tuesday with Triple-A St. Paul, per Aaron Gleeman of AaronGleeman.com.

    Ryan, sidelined since Aug. 7, will take another step in his recovery by making his first rehab start Tuesday, marking his first game action in four weeks. The 30-year-old has progressed from a pair of bullpen sessions to facing live hitters and now will throw around 45-50 pitches (or three innings) for St. Paul, per Twins manager Derek Shelton. This year, the right-hander owns a 6-8 record, 3.65 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 138:27 K:BB over 125.2 innings.

  • Bryce Miller SP | SEA

    Mariners' Bryce Miller: Re-entering rotation

    Miller will rejoin the Mariners rotation Wednesday in Boston after Emerson Hancock (adductor) was placed on the 15-day injured list Sunday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

    After manager Dan Wilson announced last week that the righty would be demoted to the bullpen, Miller didn't end up making any relief appearances and will now be plugged back into the five-man rotation while Hancock is out. Miller has posted a 7.18 ERA and 27:16 K:BB across 36.1 frames since the All-Star break.

  • Cade Povich SP | BAL

    Orioles' Cade Povich: Recalled to start Monday

    The Orioles recalled Povich from Triple-A Norfolk and will have him start Monday's game against the Rockies in Denver, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    Povich will draw a spot start in Colorado, as the Orioles will give their regular rotation members some extra rest. The left-hander is coming off a dandy of a start his last time out with Norfolk, striking out 11 over 5.2 scoreless innings. However, Povich makes for an undesirable streaming option at Coors Field.
