  • Bryan Woo SP | SEA

    Mariners' Bryan Woo: Five innings in no-decision

    Woo didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Rays, allowing three runs on four hits and three walks across five innings. He struck out three.

    Woo's three strikeouts were his fewest in 14 starts and tied his season low, while his three walks were a season worst. The 25-year-old has now failed to complete six innings in back-to-back outings after doing so in his first 25 appearances of the campaign. Still, Woo boasts a 3.02 ERA and 0.97 WHIP in 169.2 innings this season. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Cardinals in his next start.

  • Rays' Drew Rasmussen: Bad inning ruins start

    Rasmussen didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against Seattle, allowing three runs on four hits over five innings. He struck out two and did not issue a walk.

    Rasmussen was excellent outside of the fourth inning. He ceded three solo homers during the frame, marking the 30-year-old's first time allowing more than two home runs in a start this season. He's now yielded multiple homers in two of his last three appearances. Since the start of August, Rasmussen has a 2.10 ERA with a 28:3 K:BB across 34.1 innings. He's on track to face the Guardians on Sunday.

  • Royals' Michael Lorenzen: Saddled with loss

    Lorenzen (5-9) took the loss Tuesday against the Angels, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk with five strikeouts over six innings.

    Lorenzen was cruising until the sixth inning, when he allowed a single and a two-run home run to Jo Adell. Adell's blast prevented Lorenzen from notching his third scoreless start in his last five appearances. On the year, Lorenzen owns a 4.54 ERA with a 105:34 K:BB across 119 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to close out a two-start week Sunday against Minnesota.

  • Davis Martin SP | CHW

    White Sox's Davis Martin: Victorious against Twins

    Martin (6-9) picked up the win Tuesday against Minnesota, allowing three runs on six hits and three walks with four strikeouts over six innings.

    Martin nabbed his second quality start in his last eight appearances and picked up a win in his third straight decision. He didn't allow a home run Tuesday after yielding four long balls across his prior two outings. In his last eight starts, Martin has a 4.57 ERA and 36:22 K:BB across 41.1 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Tigers on Sunday.

  • Twins' Simeon Woods Richardson: Seven Ks in no-decision

    Woods Richardson didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the White Sox, allowing three runs (two earned) on two hits and three walks across five innings. He struck out seven.

    Woods Richardson struggled in his first start back from the injured list Aug. 27, allowing five runs and three homers while striking out two across 3.2 innings. He fared much better Tuesday, tying his season high in strikeouts. The 24-year-old will carry a 4.53 ERA into his next start, which is scheduled to come against the Angels.

  • Luis Severino SP | ATH

    Athletics' Luis Severino: Sharp in return Tuesday

    Severino took a no-decision Tuesday against the Cardinals, allowing three hits and one walk in five scoreless innings. He struck out four.

    Severino was likely working with a workload restriction in his first start since Aug. 5, although that didn't prevent him from delivering his first scoreless outing since May 17. The three hits allowed also matched a season best, and the veteran right-hander has now tossed at least five frames while yielding two runs or fewer in four of his last five appearances. Severino has a 4.65 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 107:45 K:BB over 141.1 innings, and he'll be looking to increase his pitch count next week against the Red Sox.

  • Chris Paddack SP | DET

    Tigers' Chris Paddack: Going on bereavement leave

    The Tigers will place Paddack on the bereavement list Wednesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Paddack will be away from the team for at least three days following a death in his family. Earlier Tuesday, the Tigers announced that Paddack had been demoted to the bullpen, and the right-hander was put to work right away. He retired just four of the 13 batters he faced in the Tigers' 12-5 loss to the Mets, allowing six earned runs on eight hits.

  • Max Scherzer SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Max Scherzer: Likely to start Saturday

    Scherzer (back) is feeling better and is on track to make his regular turn through the rotation Saturday against the Yankees, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    The 41-year-old surrendered four runs over four innings Sunday versus the Brewers while pitching through upper-back tightness, but he's been able to go through his regular between-starts routine the past couple days. Assuming Scherzer has no further issues, he should be ready to go for Saturday's divisional matchup.

  • David Festa P | MIN

    Twins' David Festa: Shut down for season

    The Twins will shut down Festa (shoulder) for the remainder of the season, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

    Festa pitched in a rehab game at Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday, striking out five batters and walking three over 2.2 shutout innings. However, he reported feeling renewed discomfort in his right shoulder afterward, so the Twins will now pivot and work to get the 25-year-old ready for next season. He'll close the book on 2025 with a 5.40 ERA and 1.28 WHIP to go with a 53:19 K:BB through 53.1 innings.

  • Tyler Wells SP | BAL

    Orioles' Tyler Wells: Activated ahead of start

    The Orioles reinstated Wells (elbow) from the injured list prior to his start Tuesday against the Padres.

    Wells will make his season debut Tuesday after spending the year recovering from the UCL revision and brace augmentation procedure he underwent last June. The 31-year-old posted a 2.49 ERA and 1.11 WHIP alongside a 24:6 K:BB over 25.1 innings during his six rehab starts, and he built up to 6.1 frames during his most recent outing.
