    Yankees' Max Fried: Goes seven innings in win

    Fried (9-1) picked up the win Tuesday against Kansas City, allowing two runs on six hits and no walks with four strikeouts across seven innings.

    Fried furthered himself from his six-run start May 30, tossing a second consecutive quality start since the rough outing. The 31-year-old has completed at least seven innings in six of his 14 starts this season, as Tuesday's outing marked his fourth start with no walks allowed. On the year, Fried boasts a 1.84 ERA, a 0.93 WHIP and an 81:18 K:BB over 88 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to close out the two-start week with an outing in Boston on Sunday.

  • Royals' Noah Cameron: Roughed up by Yankees

    Cameron (2-2) took the loss Tuesday against the Yankees, allowing six runs on seven hits and one walk over 5.2 innings. He struck out six.

    Cameron allowed just three runs over his first five starts this season, spanning 31.2 innings. However, the 25-year-old came down to earth Tuesday, yielding a three-run home run to Austin Wells and a two-run homer to Aaron Judge during the start. The only positive takeaway from the outing was Cameron's strikeout ability. He had topped three strikeouts just once before Tuesday's start. On the year, Cameron has posted a 2.17 ERA and 25:11 K:BB over 37.1 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Rangers his next time out.

  • Twins' Connor Prielipp: On IL with blister

    Prielipp was placed on the 7-day injured list at Double-A Wichita due to a blister on his pitching hand, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

    Prielipp had just returned from the development list (which was likely used to reduce his workload this season) and threw 8.2 scoreless innings over his last two starts with a 9:1 K:BB. He has a 3.13 ERA with a 40:6 K:BB in 31.2 innings at Double-A.

  • Tigers' Sawyer Gipson-Long: Looks sharp Tuesday

    Gipson-Long allowed one run on three hits across 4.2 innings of relief in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Orioles. He struck out five.

    Gipson-Long was the third Detroit pitcher of the night and ended up filling the bulk role as he set a new season best in innings and earned his first hold of the year. After covering 3.2 innings and tossing 70 pitches in his 2025 debut Wednesday, the righty dipped to 51 pitches but was more efficient and looked sharper in his second appearance. Before last week, Gipson-Long hadn't appeared in an MLB game since 2023 following a lengthy recovery from Tommy John surgery and hip surgery. The 27-year-old is a short-term starting option with Jackson Jobe (elbow) and Reese Olson (finger) on the injured list, but Gibson-Long may settle in as a long reliever when the Tigers are fully healthy. For now, he's penciled in to take the mound again Sunday against the Reds, potentially in a bulk role once more with Brant Hurter as the opener.

  • Twins' Zebby Matthews: No-throw for two weeks

    Matthews was diagnosed with a moderate subscapularis strain in his right shoulder Tuesday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

    Now that the Twins know exactly what kind of injury Matthews is dealing with, the plan is to shut him down for roughly two weeks. He'll be re-evaluated following his no-throw period, at which point a clearer timeline for his return may emerge. Simeon Woods Richardson was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday and figures to remain in Minnesota's rotation until Matthews is cleared to return.

  • David Festa P | MIN

    Twins' David Festa: Remaining in rotation

    Festa is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Rangers at Target Field.

    Despite getting roughed up for eight earned runs over 3.2 innings in his start against the Athletics last Thursday after being called up from Triple-A St. Paul, Festa will receive at least one more chance to prove he belongs in the rotation. With Zebby Matthews (shoulder) recently joining Pablo Lopez (lat) on the injured list, Festa has a fairly clear runway to make additional starts with the big club if he can avoid further blowups.

  • Cody Bradford RP | TEX

    Rangers' Cody Bradford: Set for bullpen session

    Bradford (elbow) will throw a bullpen session at Target Field on Wednesday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Bradford has slowly been working his way back from a sprained UCL in his left elbow that has sidelined him since March 12, and he has been throwing bullpen sessions for nearly a month. The team has been taking a cautious approach with the left-hander's recovery, and it's possible that he is on the cusp of a minor-league rehab assignment. Bradford remains on track for a return at some point in July, with the All-Star break being a reasonable target date.

  • Alex Cobb SP | DET

    Tigers' Alex Cobb: Making next rehab start Wednesday

    Cobb (hip) will report to Triple-A Toledo to continue his rehab assignment Wednesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    The veteran right-hander made his first two rehab starts with High-A West Michigan and is now moving up to the highest level of the minors. Cobb threw 34 pitches over 2.1 frames in his latest start and should build up to around the 50-pitch mark Wednesday. He'll likely require another rehab outing or two after that before being deemed ready to make his season debut for Detroit.

  • Logan Evans RP | SEA

    Mariners' Logan Evans: Recalled to start Tuesday

    The Mariners recalled Evans from Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.

    Evans is taking the rotation spot vacated by Bryce Miller (elbow), who was placed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday. The right-handed Evans has managed a 2.83 ERA in six starts with the big club this season, although he has struck out only 25 across 35 innings. Evans could be in store for just one start during his upcoming stint in the big leagues, as Logan Gilbert (elbow) is expected to return from the injured list early next week.

  • Bryce Miller SP | SEA

    Mariners' Bryce Miller: Shelved again with inflamed elbow

    The Mariners placed Miller on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with right elbow inflammation.

    Miller had been scheduled to start Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, but after he wasn't spotted throwing his between-starts bullpen session Monday, it became clear something was amiss. Mariners manager Dan Wilson revealed after the Mariners' 11-inning loss in the series opener in Arizona that Miller was still dealing with inflammation as well as a bone spur in his right elbow, prompting Seattle to shut him down once again. Miller missed approximately three weeks of action in May due to the injury but had struggled in both of his starts upon returning from the IL, striking out just four batters and allowing eight earned runs on 11 hits, two walks and two hit batsmen over nine innings. Wilson noted that a cortisone shot during Miller's previous IL stint didn't fully relieve the discomfort in his right elbow, so the 26-year-old may require a more aggressive treatment plan and/or a lengthier shutdown period this time around. Logan Evans was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move and will take Miller's spot in the rotation beginning with Tuesday's game.
