  • Bryce Miller SP | SEA

    Mariners' Bryce Miller: Not sharp in win

    Miller (3-5) allowed four runs on six hits and a walk while striking out four over five innings to earn the win over the Padres on Monday.

    Miller had a terrible second inning, allowing solo shots to Gavin Sheets and Jake Cronenworth and a two-run home run to Fernando Tatis. Other than that, Miller turned in a passable start, though he's still shaking off the rust after missing more than two months due to elbow inflammation. He's allowed eight runs over his last 10 innings while posting an 8:3 K:BB in that span. Overall, he has a 5.98 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 47:26 K:BB through 58.2 innings across 12 starts this season. Miller is projected for a road start in Cleveland this weekend.

  • Max Scherzer SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Max Scherzer: Notches fifth win

    Scherzer (5-2) earned the win Monday against Minnesota, allowing four runs on four hits and one walk over six innings with five strikeouts.

    The grizzled veteran snapped a streak of five consecutive quality starts but managed to secure his 221st career victory. Outside a pair of homers conceded to Matt Wallner, Scherzer was in control of this game, allowing just three additional baserunners and generating 13 whiffs out of 97 total pitches. The 41-year-old has rounded into a dependable fantasy option once again this season, pitching to a 3.82 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 61:16 K:BB across 66 total frames. Scherzer is tentatively scheduled to make his next appearance at Cincinnati early next week.

  • Joe Ryan SP | MIN

    Twins' Joe Ryan: Clobbered in Toronto

    Ryan (12-7) took the loss Monday against the Blue Jays, conceding six runs on seven hits and a walk over five innings with seven strikeouts.

    The 29-year-old was tagged for six runs for the second time this season, with the previous occurrence happening April 20 at Atlanta. Ryan managed to generate only nine whiffs out of his 93 total pitches, as he coughed up multiple long balls for the third time this season in 25 total starts. After allowing a two-run homer to Alejandro Kirk to cap a four-run first inning, Ryan then gave up a solo shot to Andres Gimenez in the second. The Minnesota right-hander will carry a 3.04 ERA and 0.97 WHIP across 148 total frames into his next matchup, which currently lines up to come against San Diego at home this weekend.

  • Tanner Bibee SP | CLE

    Guardians' Tanner Bibee: Struggles continue in 10th loss

    Bibee (9-10) took the loss Monday against the Rays, allowing five runs on eight hits and three walks in six innings. He struck out three.

    Bibee hasn't been very reliable lately, as it's now been six consecutive outings and nine of his last 10 without a quality start. Since the beginning of July, the right-hander owns a dismal 6.20 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 50:21 K:BB over 53.2 innings. Bibee will be aiming to steady the ship in his next scheduled appearance against the Mariners, who have a lackluster .683 OPS versus right-handed pitching since the All-Star break.

  • Yankees' Cam Schlittler: Sharp again in second win

    Schlittler (2-2) tossed six scoreless frames while allowing four hits and three walks with eight strikeouts to earn the win Monday against Washington.

    The rookie right-hander dazzled in this 96-pitch appearance, scattering four singles to collect his second quality start. Schlittler posted eight Ks for the second consecutive start, as he generated a solid 13 whiffs. Since the All-Star break, the 24-year-old has been a dependable fantasy pitcher, producing a 2.43 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 39:17 K:BB across 37 innings. Schlittler is currently scheduled to make his next start in the Yankees' upcoming road series against the White Sox this weekend.

  • Orioles' Tomoyuki Sugano: Strikes out six in sixth loss

    Sugano (10-6) took the loss Monday against Boston, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out six.

    Although Sugano recorded his most punchouts since July 27 against the Rockies, the four runs given up were his most since July 2 in Texas. The Japanese right-hander has been shaky at times since the beginning of June, turning in a 4.79 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 56:24 K:BB across his last 73.1 frames (14 starts). Sugano's lack of strikeout upside should continue to limit his fantasy value to close out the year, though he'll hang onto streaming appeal this weekend at pitcher-friendly Oracle Park against the Giants .

  • Luis Garcia SP | HOU

    Astros' Luis Garcia: Roughed up in latest rehab start

    Garcia struck out six and allowed six runs (five earned) on seven hits and two walks across 4.1 innings in a rehab start Tuesday with Double-A Corpus Christi.

    Through his first seven rehab starts across stops with four different affiliates, Garcia accrued a 2.29 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 27:4 K:BB in 19.2 innings, but he may have taken a step back Tuesday in his bid for a return from the 60-day injured list. Though Garcia was able to get stretched out to 84 pitches, he lacked command while giving up three extra-base hits -- including two home runs -- and generating just three groundouts. On Saturday, manager Joe Espada told MLB.com that the Astros were still deciding on Garcia's next steps, but since Houston isn't listing him among its starters for its three-game series with Colorado to begin the week, the right-hander is presumably headed for another rehab outing.

  • Khal Stephen SP | CLE

    Guardians' Khal Stephen: Debuts for new organization

    Stephen (shoulder) struck out two and gave up two hits and no walks over three scoreless innings Sunday for Double-A Akron after being activated from the 7-day injured list Friday.

    Making his organizational debut for the Guardians after being acquired July 31, Stephen matched up Sunday against his old teammates at Double-A New Hampshire, with whom he had been pitching before being shelved with a shoulder impingement July 24 and then getting dealt a week later. Since Stephen didn't go out on a rehab assignment beforehand, his pitch count was managed carefully Sunday, though he should have the opportunity to work deeper into his next start. Over stops at three different levels in 2025, Stephen owns a 2.00 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 101:18 K:BB in 94.2 innings.

  • Richard Fitts SP | STL

    Red Sox's Richard Fitts: Nursing biceps tightness

    Fitts left Monday's game against the Orioles due to right biceps tightness, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

    This is positive news for the right hander, as he appears to have avoided a long-term injury. It remains to be seen whether he'll require a trip to the injured list. Healey reported after the game that Fitts was encouraged by the fact the injury wasn't feeling serious, and the team plans to re-evaluate the right-hander Tuesday morning.

  • Richard Fitts SP | STL

    Red Sox's Richard Fitts: Departs with arm injury

    Fitts left Monday's game against the Orioles with an apparent arm injury, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports. He allowed three runs on two hits and three walks while striking out six over four innings before exiting.

    Fitts came back out for the sixth inning but was removed after tossing one pitch. He'll presumably be taken to the clubhouse to be evaluated further. Steven Matz was called upon to replace Fitts.
