  • Will Warren P | NYY

    Yankees' Will Warren: Ambushed in first inning

    Warren (8-7) allowed six runs on 10 hits and one walk while striking out two over five innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Red Sox.

    Warren was tagged for six of the 10 hits during the first inning, when he gave up all six runs as the Red Sox sent their entire lineup to the plate. The right-hander was able to grind out four more frames, but the Yankees' comeback effort fell short. Warren has struggled against the Yankees' archrivals this year, allowing a total of 15 runs over 14.1 innings in three starts against the Red Sox. Overall, he has a 4.44 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 160:62 K:BB through 152 innings over 31 starts. Warren will look to right the ship in his next start, which is tentatively projected to be at Baltimore.

  • Red Sox's Garrett Crochet: Matches season high in strikeouts

    Crochet (16-5) allowed three runs on five hits and a walk while striking out 12 over six innings to earn the win Sunday over the Yankees.

    Crochet matched his season high for strikeouts in a game after racking up a dozen in this win. He's logged a quality start in five of his last six outings, the exception being his seven-run showing versus the Guardians on Sept. 2. The southpaw now has eight starts of 10-plus strikeouts this season and leads the majors with a total of 240 strikeouts. His K/9 of 11.29 is second only to Dylan Cease among qualified starters. Crochet has added a 2.63 ERA and 1.05 WHIP across 191.1 innings through 30 starts, and he'll look to keep rolling in a road start versus the Rays in his next outing.

  • J.T. Ginn P | ATH

    Athletics' J.T. Ginn: Ready for next start

    Ginn (calf) has been cleared to start Thursday's game against the Red Sox in Boston, MLB.com reports.

    During his most recent start in Friday's 3-0 win over the Reds, Ginn struck out six batters and allowed no runs on two hits and four walks before being pulled with one out in the fifth inning after experiencing right calf cramping. The right-hander has apparently responded well to treatment over the last two days and won't have to miss a turn through the rotation. Since being reinstated from the injured list June 16, Ginn has gone 2-4 with a 4.43 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 70:21 K:BB in 63 innings over 17 appearances (10 starts).

  • Cole Ragans RP | KC

    Royals' Cole Ragans: Rejoining rotation Wednesday

    The Royals will activate Ragans (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list to start Wednesday's game against the Mariners in Kansas City, Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star reports.

    The upcoming start will mark Ragans' first with the big club since June 5, after a left rotator cuff strain kept him out of commission for more than three months. The southpaw began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Omaha on Sept. 7 and tossed 56 pitches and 3.2 innings in his second and final outing on the farm this past Friday, striking out seven in that start while allowing no runs on one hit and two walks. Though Ragans looked sharp in both of his appearances at Omaha, he's not yet fully stretched out for a typical starter's workload and could be limited to around 70-to-80 pitches Wednesday.

  • Royals' Michael Wacha: Returning from IL on Tuesday

    The Royals will reinstate Wacha (concussion) from the 7-day injured list to start Tuesday's home game against the Mariners, Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star reports.

    Kansas City will restore two of its top starters to the rotation during the upcoming series with Seattle, as Cole Ragans (shoulder) is in line to return from the 60-day injured list Wednesday. After being placed on the 7-day IL last Tuesday, Wacha will wind up just a little over the minimum amount of time due to the concussion, which he sustained in what the team described as an "off-field accident," per MLB.com. Wacha was cleared to resume throwing shortly after being deactivated and shouldn't be operating with any restrictions Tuesday.

  • Keider Montero SP | DET

    Tigers' Keider Montero: Cruises to victory

    Motero (5-3) allowed three hits over five scoreless innings Sunday, striking out five and earning a win over the Marlins.

    Montero gave up three singles and did not allow a runner to reach scoring position. He fell short of a quality start but tossed 50 strikes on 76 total pitches; it was his highest pitch count since July 25, which was his last MLB appearance before spending just over a month with Triple-A Toledo. Montero now owns a 4.32 ERA with a 63:27 K:BB through 83.1 MLB innings this season. He's lined up for a home start against Atlanta next weekend.

  • Shane Bieber SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Shane Bieber: Wins with quality start

    Bieber (3-1) allowed a run on four hits and a walk over six innings Sunday, striking out five and earning a win against Baltimore.

    Bieber coughed up a solo homer to Coby Mayo in the second inning but otherwise did not face much trouble. It was Bieber's first quality start since his season debut Aug. 22. He had given up eight runs over 11.2 frames (6.17 ERA) over his last two starts before Sunday's win. Bieber forced a season-high 18 whiffs on 97 total pitches. He now owns a 3.72 ERA with a 30:4 K:BB through 29 innings. Bieber's next start is projected to be in Kansas City next weekend.

  • Bailey Ober SP | MIN

    Twins' Bailey Ober: Fans nine, takes loss

    Ober (5-8) took the loss Sunday against Arizona, conceding four runs on four hits and no walks over six innings. He struck out nine.

    Despite notching his eighth start without a free pass issued, Ober was saddled with the loss in this 101-pitch appearance. The Minnesota right-hander once again yielded a homer, his 30th given up of the season, when James McCann slugged a three-run long ball in the fourth inning, ruining Ober's opportunity for a quality start. The 30-year-old now sports a 5.12 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 114:28 K:BB across 135.1 total frames. He currently lines up to make his next start at home against Cleveland next weekend.

  • Kyle Hendricks SP | LAA

    Angels' Kyle Hendricks: No match for Mariners

    Hendricks (7-10) allowed nine runs on 10 hits and two walks while striking out six over 3.1 innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Mariners.

    Hendricks had allowed just three runs over his previous three starts (19 innings), but the Mariners' offense was able to do damage against him in the third and fourth innings. This was the third time in his last seven starts that he fell short of completing five frames. Hendricks is now at a 5.01 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 101:43 K:BB through 152.2 innings over 29 starts this season. The veteran right-hander is tentatively projected for a road start in Colorado for his next outing.

  • George Kirby SP | SEA

    Mariners' George Kirby: Fans 14 in win over Angels

    Kirby (9-7) allowed two runs on three hits and struck out 14 without walking a batter over 6.1 innings to earn the win Sunday over the Angels.

    Kirby had allowed 11 runs (10 earned) over six innings across his first two starts of September. He tied his career high for strikeouts in a game with this dominant performance. While Kirby has largely had mixed results all year, he's had the Angels' number in all three of his starts against them in 2025, allowing just six runs while posting a 37:3 K:BB over 19.2 innings. Overall, he's at a 4.46 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 120:28 K:BB through 115 innings across 21 starts. His next start is projected to be on the road versus Houston.
