Noah Cameron P | KC
Royals' Noah Cameron: Sharp in eighth win
Cameron (8-7) earned the win Sunday over the Phillies, allowing two runs on four hits and a walk across seven innings. He struck out seven.
Cameron looked like he was headed for an early exit after giving up home runs to Kyle Schwarber and J.T. Realmuto in the first inning. However, the left-hander rebounded and held the Phillies scoreless over his final six frames, allowing just two more hits in an eventual 10-3 Kansas City victory. Cameron has gone seven innings in back-to-back starts, allowing just four runs while striking out 15 in that span. He's lowered his ERA to 2.98 with a 1.09 WHIP and 103:37 K:BB through 22 starts (127 innings) this year. Cameron is tentatively lined up to face the Blue Jays at home in his next outing.

Trey Yesavage SP | TOR
Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: Will start in MLB debut Monday
Blue Jays manager John Schneider announced that Yesavage will be called up from Triple-A Buffalo to start Monday's game at Tampa Bay.
Since Yesavage had worked in relief in two of his last three appearances with Buffalo, the early expectation was that he would begin his time in the big leagues in the bullpen, but Schneider noted that deploying the 22-year-old as a starter would make his MLB debut as "normal as possible," per Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca. Depending on how Yesavage fares Monday, he could continue starting or shift to a multi-inning relief role, with Schneider noting that the youngster won't face any sort of innings cap over the final two weeks of regular season, according to Davidi. Yesavage -- who has emerged as one of the top pitching prospects in baseball this season -- earned his call-up to the majors after he submitted a 3.12 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 160:41 K:BB in 98 innings across his four minor-league stops in 2025.

Tyler Mahle SP | SF
Rangers' Tyler Mahle: Next outing in majors
Mahle (shoulder) will return from the 60-day injured list to make his next appearance with the Rangers during the upcoming week, MLB.com reports.
Mahle is ready to make his first appearance for the Rangers since June 10 after completing a three-start rehab assignment with Triple-A Round Rock. During his most recent outing Friday, Mahle struck out six and allowed one hit and no walks over four shutout innings while tossing 52 pitches. Since he's not yet stretched out enough to handle a typical starter's workload, Mahle could temporarily work as a bulk reliever, or perhaps get deployed in a piggyback arrangement with current No. 5 starter Jacob Latz.

Luis Severino SP | ATH
Athletics' Luis Severino: Yields five runs
Severino allowed five runs on six hits and two walks while striking out two over five innings in a no-decision versus the Reds on Saturday.
All of the runs on his line came on a pair of home runs, as Will Benson hit a two-run shot in the second inning and Tyler Stephenson added a three-run blast in the fourth. Severino has now allowed eight runs with a 13:4 K:BB over five innings since returning from an oblique injury. He's at a 4.82 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 116:48 K:BB through 151.1 innings across 27 starts this season. The 31-year-old's next start is projected to be a favorable road matchup in Pittsburgh.

Mitch Farris RP | LAA
Angels' Mitch Farris: First stumble in majors
Farris (1-1) allowed five runs on five hits and four walks while striking out seven over four innings to take the loss versus the Mariners on Saturday.
Farris had pitched well against weaker opponents in his first two starts, but the Mariners presented a tougher challenge. His seven strikeouts were the most in any of his first three MLB starts, but the four walks elevated his pitch count early. He's posted a 4.80 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 14:7 K:BB through 15 innings in the majors so far. The 24-year-old's next start is projected to be at Colorado.

Tomoyuki Sugano SP | BAL
Orioles' Tomoyuki Sugano: Logs quality start in no-decision
Sugano completed six innings against Toronto on Saturday, allowing one run on four hits and no walks while striking out four batters over six innings.
Sugano made an early exit in his previous start after being hit on the foot by a comebacker, and he had another injury scare Saturday when he was struck on the left leg on another comebacker in the first inning. This time around the right-hander was able to remain in the game, and he looked no worse for wear as he fired six strong innings. The only run Sugano allowed came on an Addison Barger solo homer in the fifth frame, and the Japanese hurler finished with his first quality start since Aug. 8. Sugano allowed 15 runs (14 earned) over his previous three starts spanning 12.1 innings coming into Saturday, so this was a much-needed bounce-back outing. He'll carry a 4.39 ERA into his next start, which is slated to be a tough matchup against the Yankees next week.

Bryan Woo SP | SEA
Mariners' Bryan Woo: Sets personal best in strikeouts
Woo (14-7) allowed two runs on three hits and a walk while striking out 13 over six innings to earn the win over the Angels on Saturday.
Woo's 13 strikeouts were the most he's had in any game in his big-league career, and the first time he's even reached double digits. He gave up both runs in the second inning, including one on a solo home run by Jo Adell. Woo has won six of eight starts since the beginning of August, allowing just 15 runs over 48.2 innings with a 64:10 K:BB in that in that span. He is now at a 3.02 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 191:35 K:BB through 181.2 innings over 29 starts this season. He is lined up to make his next start in a pivotal road series versus the Astros.

Max Scherzer SP | TOR
Blue Jays' Max Scherzer: Rebounds after rough first frame
Scherzer allowed two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out five batters over five innings in a no-decision against Baltimore on Saturday.
Scherzer labored in the first inning, giving up two runs and allowing the first three batters he faced to reach base. The veteran hurler bounced back impressively thereafter, keeping the Orioles off the scoreboard for the remainder of his outing. Overall, Scherzer tossed 64 of 91 pitches for strikes and got 14 whiffs en route to five punchouts. This was the first time he's been able to complete five innings in his past three starts and the first time he's allowed fewer than four runs across his past four outings. Scherzer lines up for a road matchup in Tampa Bay his next time out.

Hunter Brown SP | HOU
Astros' Hunter Brown: Logs another quality start
Brown (12-7) earned the win against Atlanta on Saturday, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk while striking out two across 6.2 innings.
Brown started out strongly by retiring nine of the first 10 batters he faced and was supplied a six-run cushion by his offense. He punched out a season-low two batter but came away with his seventh quality start in eight games, and his 20 quality starts this season is tied for second most in the majors behind Cristopher Sanchez (21). Brown also ranks third among qualified starters with a 2.27 ERA (across 174.1 innings), and his 192 strikeouts are tied with Sanchez for eighth most. Brown is lined up to face the Mariners at home next weekend.

Ryan Bergert P | KC
Royals' Ryan Bergert: Escapes with no-decision in Philly
Bergert didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 8-6 loss to the Phillies, giving up three runs on four hits and three walks over four innings. He struck out five.
It's the third straight start in which Bergert issued three free passes, and his loss of control has left him with an 8.76 ERA, 2.03 WHIP and 14:9 K:BB in 12.1 innings during the skid. The Royals could get one or more of Michael Wacha (concussion), Seth Lugo (back) and Cole Ragans (shoulder) back from the IL in the next week or two, so Bergert's hold on a rotation spot may be slipping. For the moment, he's scheduled to make his next start at home next weekend against the Blue Jays.
