  • Carlos Rodon SP | NYY

    Yankees' Carlos Rodon: Hurls quality start in loss Wednesday

    Rodon (16-8) took the loss against Detroit on Wednesday, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk while striking out six batters over six innings.

    Rodon pitched well in the outing, but New York's bullpen was again demolished late in the contest, and the team's offense put only one run on the board. The loss snapped a streak of five straight wins for Rodon, though he did manage to nab his fifth quality start over his past six appearances and posted his highest punchout total since he struck out nine Marlins on Aug. 1. Rodon has been effectively consistent for the Yankees this year, registering a 3.11 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 186:70 K:BB across 176.1 innings spanning 30 starts.

  • Tyler Wells SP | BAL

    Orioles' Tyler Wells: Sharp in no-decision Wednesday

    Wells didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 2-1 extra-inning win over the Pirates, allowing one run on one hit and one walk over 6.2 innings. He struck out six.

    Making his second start since recovering from June 2024 elbow surgery, Wells was locked in, with the only blemish on his line coming from a Spencer Horwitz solo shot in the fourth inning. The right-hander tossed 60 of 89 pitches for strikes, and through 11.2 innings, he sports a 2.31 ERA, 0.60 WHIP and 10:1 K:BB. Wells will look to continue a strong finish to 2025 in his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road early next week against the White Sox.

  • Jack Flaherty SP | DET

    Tigers' Jack Flaherty: Looks sharp in eighth win

    Flaherty (8-13) tossed five scoreless innings to earn the win in Wednesday's 11-1 victory over the Yankees. He allowed two hits and a walk, while striking out seven.

    Flaherty has been up and down recently, and Wednesday's sharp outing continued the trend. In his last four starts, he's alternated clunkers (eight runs allowed in five innings and four runs allowed in 4.1 innings) with good outings (one run allowed in 5.2 innings and no runs allowed in five innings). Overall, Flaherty is sitting with a 4.69 ERA across 151.2 innings this season, which is a sharp jump from the 3.17 ERA he posted in 162 regular-season innings last year while playing for both the Dodgers and Tigers. He is at least continuing to miss bats at a high rate with a 10.6 K/9 in 2025, down slightly from 10.8 in 2024. The veteran righty will look to string together some good starts, starting with his next scheduled trip to the mound Tuesday against Cleveland.

  • Kyle Harrison SP | BOS

    Red Sox's Kyle Harrison: Makes Boston debut

    Harrison allowed three hits, hit a batter and struck out two over three scoreless relief innings in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Athletics.

    Harrison pitched the final three innings in a piggyback outing that was started by Payton Tolle (two innings). Harrison isn't fully built up after a series of stops and starts over the last couple of weeks that included an ankle injury. He could be a factor later in September, as he unlikely has the same innings limits of rookies Tolle and Connelly Early.

  • Payton Tolle SP | BOS

    Red Sox's Payton Tolle: Struggles in abbreviated start

    Tolle allowed two runs on three hits and struck out two over two innings in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Athletics.

    The plan was for Tolle to make an abbreviated start -- one time through the order -- after he threw three troubled innings (77 pitches) in his previous start Friday. Working on four days' rest. Tolle was touched for a home run in both innings, and the rookie has allowed four long balls in his last five innings. Teams appear to be sitting on Tolle's fastball, per Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com. He's thrown fastballs 55.7 percent of the time, and cutters (a fastball variant) 24.7 percent of the time.

  • Sean Burke P | CHW

    White Sox's Sean Burke: Strikes out five in no-decision

    Burke didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against the Rays, allowing three runs on five hits and four walks in 4.1 innings. He struck out five.

    Burke continues to struggle providing length, failing to reach five innings in five of his last six major-league starts. The right-hander has managed to yield fewer than six hits in each of those outings, though he's issued multiple walks in four of them. Burke has a 4.28 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 115:58 K:BB over 122 frames overall, and he'll be looking to work deeper into his outing in his next scheduled turn in the rotation against the last-place Orioles.

  • Logan Gilbert SP | SEA

    Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Fans eight in short start

    Gilbert allowed one run on five hits and one walk while striking out eight batters over 4.2 innings in a no-decision against St. Louis on Wednesday.

    Gilbert's line was pretty solid overall, especially his eight punchouts and 18 whiffs. However, the right-hander was pulled with two outs in the fifth inning after hitting his second batter of the game on his 95th pitch. The truncated outing snapped a three-game streak of quality starts by Gilbert, though he still allowed exactly one run for the third time across his past four appearances. Gilbert lowered his season ERA to 3.54 ahead of what's projected to be matchup in Kansas City for his next start.

  • Guardians' Logan Allen: Limits Royals in no-decision

    Allen didn't factor into the decision against the Royals on Wednesday, allowing two runs on seven hits while striking out two over five innings.

    While Allen had hiccups in the first and third innings, he was near perfect otherwise, facing the minimum number of batters over his remaining three frames. The 27-year-old logged at least five innings for the 16th time in his last 17 starts. The right-hander came into the outing with a 5.87 ERA, 1.73 WHIP and 19 walks across his previous six starts (30.2 innings), and while Wednesday's line was cleaner, he continued to struggle with limiting baserunners. Allen remains tough to trust in most fantasy formats, offering little more than streaming value when in the right matchup.

  • Astros' Jason Alexander: Blanks Toronto over seven innings

    Alexander didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against the Blue Jays, allowing three hits and one walk in seven shutout innings. He struck out three.

    Alexander entered the month of August with a dismal 7.36 ERA in 2025, but he's turned a corner ever since. The right-hander has logged four quality starts over his last seven outings, improving his ERA to 4.19 for the campaign during that stretch. Additionally, Wednesday's appearance was his longest of the season. Alexander also has a serviceable 1.31 WHIP and 55:23 K:BB across 66.2 frames overall, and he's next lined up to get the ball for a crucial matchup against the division-rival Rangers next week.

  • Jose Berrios SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Jose Berrios: Rebounds in no-decision

    Berrios didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against the Astros, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk in 5.1 innings. He struck out four.

    After working a season-low two innings his last time out in Cincinnati, Berrios rediscovered his form to throw 5.1 solid innings Wednesday. The veteran right-hander had tossed at least five frames in each of his first 14 outings of the season, though he's been able to last at least five innings in just nine of his last 15 appearances. Berrios still holds a 3.99 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 135:52 K:BB across 29 starts, and he'll be in search of some consistency in a scheduled matchup against the division-rival Rays next week.
