  • Luis Gil SP | NYY

    Yankees' Luis Gil: Fans seven Sunday

    Gil did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the White Sox. He allowed two runs on four hits and two walks over 5.1 innings with seven strikeouts.

    The New York right-hander equaled a season high with his seven punchouts generated on 12 whiffs out of his 98 total pitches. Gil was cruising through the first five frames, conceding just one run on a Will Robertson double in the second. After giving up a solo homer to Colson Montgomery with one out in the sixth, Gil walked the next batter and was then lifted from the contest. Through 29.1 total innings, Gil now sports a 3.68 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 29:19 K:BB with a worrisome 25.6 percent groundball rate. The 27-year-old is scheduled to make his next appearance in the Yankees' upcoming home series next weekend against Toronto.

  • Bryce Miller SP | SEA

    Mariners' Bryce Miller: Notches fourth win

    Miller (4-5) earned the win Sunday against Cleveland, allowing two runs on two hits and one walk over six innings with three strikeouts.

    Despite generating just seven whiffs out of his 72 total pitches, the 27-year-old managed to tally his first quality start of the season. Both runs Miller conceded scored via a Daniel Schneemann two-run homer in the third. Through 64.2 total frames, the Seattle right-hander has pitched to a 5.71 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 50:27 K:BB, making him a tough option to rely upon in fantasy. Miller currently lines up to make his next start at Atlanta next weekend.

  • Tanner Bibee SP | CLE

    Guardians' Tanner Bibee: Saddled with 11th loss

    Bibee (9-11) conceded four runs on six hits and two walks over 6.1 innings to take the loss Sunday against the Mariners. He struck out four.

    The Cleveland right-hander's recent second-half struggles continued in this 91-pitch performance. Bibee allowed four or more runs for the eighth straight appearance, as he's pitched to a 5.91 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 31:16 K:BB in 45.2 innings across that span. The 26-year-old looked solid through his first six frames but was chased in the seventh after permitting two of the first three batters to reach, both of which subsequently scored on a hit given up by reliever Matt Festa. Bibee will carry a 4.77 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 7.9 K/9 over 154.2 total innings into his next matchup, which currently lines up to be at Tampa Bay next weekend.

  • Mick Abel P | MIN

    Twins' Mick Abel: Sent back to Triple-A

    The Twins optioned Abel to Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday.

    Minnesota didn't immediately replace Abel on the roster ahead of Sunday's 7-2 win over the Padres, so the Twins will have three spots to fill when the active roster expands from 26 to 28 men Monday. Abel's demotion comes after he was moved to the bullpen for this weekend's series against the Padres following a rough start against the White Sox on Aug. 23, when he served up six earned runs across three innings. The right-hander didn't fare any better in his lone relief appearance, as he gave up six runs (five earned) on seven hits and one walk over one inning in Saturday's 12-3 loss.

  • Luis Ortiz SP | CLE

    Guardians' Luis L. Ortiz: Leave extended

    MLB and the MLBPA announced Sunday that Ortiz will remain on non-disciplinary paid leave until further notice while MLB continues its sports-betting investigation.

    The Guardians aren't planning on commenting further on Ortiz's status until the investigation concludes, but the right-hander's locker at Progressive Field was cleared out nearly a month ago, which implies that he isn't expected to pitch again this season. Ortiz remains under club control heading into 2026, but whether he returns to the mound with the Guardians or another team down the road won't become clear until MLB releases the findings of its investigation.

  • Luis Garcia SP | HOU

    Astros' Luis Garcia: Will be activated, start Monday

    The Astros will activate Garcia (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Monday to start the team's series finale versus the Angels, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Garcia will be making his first major-league start since May 1, 2023 following a lengthy recovery from Tommy John surgery and related setbacks. The right-hander will get the green light to rejoin the Astros after a nine-appearance minor-league rehab assignment, during which he posted a 3.30 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 38:7 K:BB over 30 innings. In Garcia's most recent rehab start Tuesday with Triple-A Sugar Land, he allowed one run over six frames while throwing 75 pitches, so he should be able to handle something close to a normal workload in his 2025 Astros debut.

  • Max Scherzer SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Max Scherzer: Managing upper-back tightness

    Manager John Schneider said after Sunday's 8-4 win over the Brewers that Scherzer was pitching through upper-back tightness, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports. The right-hander took a no-decision after striking out one and giving up four runs on nine hits and no walks across four innings.

    The 41-year-old threw 45 of 67 pitches for strikes and generated just three whiffs while surrendering a pair of home runs, with his early exit ending a run of six straight starts of at least six innings. The back issue hasn't seemed to stir up much cause for concern, though it's worth keeping an eye out for any updates on Scherzer ahead of his next turn through the rotation, which currently lines up for next weekend on the road against the Yankees.

  • Lucas Giolito SP | BOS

    Red Sox's Lucas Giolito: Grabs 10th win

    Giolito (10-2) earned the win Sunday over the Pirates, allowing a run on three hits and five walks over six innings. He struck out six.

    While Giolito's five walks were the second-most he's issued in a start this season, the right-hander was able to minimize the damage en route to his 10th victory. Giolito has gone 4-0 with a 2.27 ERA in his last seven outings (43.2 innings), lowering his ERA to 3.38 on the season with a 1.23 WHIP and 105:43 K:BB across 22 starts (125.1 innings). He's currently slated to face the Diamondbacks on the road his next time out.

  • Luis Severino SP | ATH

    Athletics' Luis Severino: Making return Tuesday

    Severino (oblique) is scheduled to return from the 15-day injured list to start Tuesday's game against the Cardinals in St. Louis, Jason Burke of SI.com reports.

    The right-hander has been sidelined over three weeks due to an oblique strain, and he'll rejoin the Athletics rotation without a rehab assignment. Following the layoff, Severino could face some workload limitations in his first couple outings back in the majors. The right-hander was in strong form prior to the injury with a 3.13 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 22:6 K:BB over his last four starts.

  • Joe Ryan SP | MIN

    Twins' Joe Ryan: Rebounds to blank Padres

    Ryan (13-7) earned the win Sunday over San Diego, allowing five hits and a walk across seven scoreless innings. He struck out eight.

    After he was tagged for 11 runs over nine innings in his previous two starts, Ryan rebounded with a dominant outing Sunday, striking out at least eight batters for the eighth time this season. Ryan lowered his ERA to 3.08 on the season with a 0.97 WHIP and 174:30 K:BB across 155 innings. He'll look to keep rolling his next time out, tentatively scheduled for next week in Kansas City.
