  • Kyle Bradish SP | BAL

    Orioles' Kyle Bradish: Sharp again Sunday

    Bradish allowed a run on two hits and two walks over six innings in a no-decision Sunday against the Yankees. He struck out nine.

    Bradish was excellent Sunday, holding New York scoreless through five innings before eventually allowing a lone run with two outs in the sixth. Bradish has yet to allow more than two runs in four starts since his return from Tommy John surgery while holding opponents to a single run in each of his last three outings. Bradish will carry a 2.25 ERA with a 1.00 WHIP and 39 strikeouts in his next start, tentatively scheduled as a rematch with the Yankees next week.

  • Casey Mize SP | DET

    Tigers' Casey Mize: Falls to Atlanta

    Mize (14-6) took the loss Sunday against Atlanta, allowing three runs on five hits and three walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out five.

    It's just the second loss in 10 starts for Mize. The right-hander held Atlanta scoreless through two innings Sunday before he gave up a run in three consecutive frames to finish the day. Overall, Mize sports a 3.91 ERA with a 1.28 WHIP and 131:36 K:BB across 27 starts (142.2 innings) this season. He's tentatively lined up to face the Red Sox on the road his next time out.

  • Trey Yesavage SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: Yields four runs in no-decision

    Yesavage did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Royals, allowing four runs on five hits and three walks while striking out two across four innings.

    Yesavage earned another start after dazzling in his debut against the Rays on Monday, when he struck out nine batters across five innings. He retired nine of the first 10 batters he faced Sunday before giving up two runs in the fourth inning, and he was tagged for two more in the fifth after being lifted without recording an out. Yesavage has given up five earned runs while striking out 11 batters through the first nine innings of his major-league career as he looks to make his case for a spot in the Blue Jays' rotation in the postseason. His last chance to audition will be next weekend against the Rays in Toronto.

  • Seth Lugo SP | KC

    Royals' Seth Lugo: Done for 2025 season

    Royals manager Matt Quatraro confirmed Sunday that Lugo (back) won't return this season, Jackson Stone of MLB.com reports.

    Lugo landed on the injured list due to a back issue in early September. He was able to throw a bullpen session early this week but did not respond well. Quatraro explained Sunday that the injury is "not getting better quickly enough to do anything meaningful for him to come out here and force it." Lugo will finish his 10th MLB campaign with a 4.15 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 125:55 K:BB while posting an 8-7 record over 26 starts spanning 145.1 innings. There's currently no reason to believe that he won't be able to have a normal offseason.

  • Sean Burke P | CHW

    White Sox's Sean Burke: Handling starting role Sunday

    Burke is slated to start Sunday's game against the Padres in Chicago.

    Burke was deployed in bulk relief in his most recent appearance Monday in a 4-1 loss to the Orioles, covering four frames while striking out four and allowing one earned run on two hits and four walks. He'll return to a more traditional starting role Sunday for the White Sox's final home game of the season and will line up for a final turn through the rotation next weekend in Washington.

  • Joe Boyle SP | TB

    Rays' Joe Boyle: Awarded another start

    Boyle is slated to start Sunday's game against the Red Sox in Tampa.

    After officially being eliminated from playoff contention Friday, the Rays appear set to finish out the season with a six-man rotation that includes Boyle. The Rays recalled the right-hander from Triple-A Durham on Monday, and he fared well in his start against the Blue Jays later that day, taking a no-decision while striking out five over six shutout innings. For the season, Boyle owns a 4.64 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 44:21 K:BB in 42.2 innings over 11 appearances (seven starts) for Tampa Bay.

  • Charlie Morton SP | ATL

    Tigers' Charlie Morton: Removed from 40-man roster

    The Tigers designated Morton for assignment Sunday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Detroit acquired Morton from Baltimore at the trade deadline with the expectation that he would bolster the team's rotation, but the veteran hurler struggled during his time with the Tigers, posting a 7.09 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 47:23 K:BB over 39.1 innings. His most recent start was particularly disastrous, as he gave up six earned runs over 1.1 frames against Atlanta on Friday. The right-hander will likely finish the campaign with his worst ERA (5.89) since he posted a 7.57 mark with Pittsburgh in 2010. The Tigers selected the contract of Tanner Rainey from Triple-A Toledo on Sunday to fill Morton's spot on the 40-man roster.

  • Bailey Ober SP | MIN

    Twins' Bailey Ober: Rough outing in twin bill

    Ober (5-9) took the loss in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader sweep at the hands of the Guardians, coughing up six runs on eight hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out one.

    The right-hander did manage to keep the ball in the park after Cleveland homered five times in the matinee, but there weren't many other silver linings on this performance for Ober. The six runs allowed represented his worst showing since he got tagged for seven runs by the Tigers at the end of June prior to landing on the IL with a hip issue, but Ober's given up at least four runs in four of his last five trips to the mound, sagging to a 6.49 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 22:5 K:BB through 26.1 innings over that stretch. He'll put a disappointing 2025 to bed with one more start, which is scheduled to come on the road next weekend in Philadelphia.

  • Joe Ryan SP | MIN

    Twins' Joe Ryan: Mauled by Guardians

    Ryan (13-9) took the loss in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader sweep at the hands of the Guardians, giving up five runs (four earned) on six hits -- including four home runs -- and two walks over five innings. He struck out five.

    The right-hander has run out of gas in September. The four homers allowed were a season high for Ryan, and over three starts this month he's stumbled to a 9.00 ERA, 2.00 WHIP and 11:8 K:BB through 11 innings while serving up six long balls in total. He'll try to end 2025 on a better note in his final outing, which lines up to come on the road next weekend in Philadelphia.

  • Guardians' Logan Allen: Dazzles in nightcap Saturday

    Allen (8-11) picked up the win in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader sweep of the Twins, allowing four hits and a walk over eight scoreless innings. He struck out seven.

    After Slade Cecconi delivered seven scoreless frames in the matinee, Allen did him one better in the nightcap, producing 32 called or swinging strikes among his 102 pitches (64 total strikes) as he came within shouting distance of his first career shutout. The left-hander had his previous turn in the rotation skipped -- he's already thrown a career-high 152.1 innings in 2025, and he'd worked more than five innings only once in seven starts since the beginning of August prior to Saturday -- and the move paid off for Cleveland as they try to chase down Detroit in the AL Central. It's not clear if Allen will make another start in the regular season however, despite a 2.00 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 13:3 K:BB through 18 innings in September.
