Kyle Bradish SP | BAL
Orioles' Kyle Bradish: Labors through four frames Monday
Bradish completed four innings in a no-decision against San Diego on Monday, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out five batters.
Bradish wasn't nearly as effective as in his season debut last Tuesday, when he struck out 10 over six innings. On Monday, the right-hander needed 84 pitches to get through just four innings, though he did finish strongly by retiring the final seven batters he faced. Bradish also promisingly fanned five batters and has now racked up 15 punchouts over 10 innings across his two starts. He's lined up to make his next appearance at home against Pittsburgh.

Tyler Mahle SP | SF
Rangers' Tyler Mahle: Rehab outing coming Tuesday
Mahle (shoulder) is expected to make a two-inning rehab start for Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday, MLB.com reports.
Mahle has been on the shelf since June 15 due to a right shoulder strain and has slowly been building back up, but he'll take a major step forward in the recovery process by kicking off a rehab assignment Tuesday. At this stage of the season, Mahle may not have enough time to get fully stretched out for a traditional starting role, though he appears on track to pitch for the Rangers in some capacity later on in September.

Patrick Corbin SP | TEX
Rangers' Patrick Corbin: Yields three homers in no-decision
Corbin allowed five runs on five hits and a walk while striking out five over 5.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Diamondbacks on Monday.
Corbin gave up three solo home runs over the first two innings. He hadn't allowed multiple homers in a start since May 25 versus the White Sox, though he has now given up seven long balls over his last six starts. Corbin posted a 7.17 ERA over 21.1 innings in August and is off to a similarly rough beginning in September. For the season, he's at a 4.48 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 114:44 K:BB through 136.2 innings over 26 starts. His next start is projected to be at home versus the Astros this weekend.

Luis Morales SP | ATH
Athletics' Luis Morales: Picks up third win
Morales (3-0) earned the win Monday, allowing two runs on five hits and a walk over 5.2 innings against the Cardinals. He struck out eight.
Morales kept his strong run going Monday, striking out a career-high eight batters while picking up his third win. The 22-year-old has impressed with the Athletics, logging a 1.59 ERA and 0.99 WHIP across 28.1 innings in six appearances (five starts). With such a strong debut season in 2025, he's making a compelling case to earn a full-time rotation spot heading into 2026.

Luis Castillo SP | SEA
Mariners' Luis Castillo: Skid continues Monday
Castillo (8-8) allowed five runs on six hits and a walk while striking out five over four innings to take the loss versus the Rays on Monday.
Castillo was held under the five-inning mark for the third time in his last four starts. In that span, he's surrendered 19 runs over 17 innings, including six home runs, one of which came off the bat of Nick Fortes in the second inning of Monday's contest. Castillo is also winless in his last six outings, though he's taken just two losses in that span. For the season, he's now at a 3.94 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 138:44 K:BB through 155.1 innings over 28 starts. He'll look to get back on track over the weekend in a road start at Atlanta.

Shane Baz SP | BAL
Rays' Shane Baz: Gets back in win column
Baz (9-11) allowed five hits and two walks while striking out six over six scoreless innings to earn the win over the Mariners on Monday.
Baz went 0-8 with a 6.58 ERA over 53.1 innings across 10 starts in July and August, but he was able to start September on a better note. He's walked exactly two batters in each of his last 10 outings, which isn't great, but that's something he can manage as long as he's not giving up too many hits. Baz is at a 4.98 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 156:56 K:BB over 150 innings through 27 starts this season. He's projected for a home start versus the Guardians over the weekend.

Luis Garcia SP | HOU
Astros' Luis Garcia: Victorious in return
Garcia (1-0) earned the win Sunday against the Angels, allowing three runs on three hits and no walks over six innings with six strikeouts.
The Houston right-hander looked sharp in his return from Tommy John surgery in May 2023, tossing 79 total pitches. Garcia averaged 91.4 mph on his fastball, down 1.3 mph from his mark in 2023, but that is to be expected as the 28-year-old works his way back into game action. All three runs Garcia conceded scored on long balls in the fourth, with Zach Neto hitting a solo shot and Jo Adell cracking a two-run homer. Garcia currently lines up to make his next start at Texas this weekend.

Yusei Kikuchi SP | LAA
Angels' Yusei Kikuchi: Suffers 10th loss
Kikuchi (6-10) coughed up five runs on eight hits and two walks over 5.2 innings to take the loss Monday at Houston. He struck out six.
Despite generating a solid 13 whiffs out of 97 total pitches, the Japanese southpaw reached double-digit losses for the second straight season. Kikuchi allowed five or more hits of the seventh time out of his nine post-All-Star break appearances, as he's struggled with a 5.59 ERA and 1.61 WHIP over 46.2 innings in the second half. Overall, the 34-year-old now sports a 3.83 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 162:66 K:BB in 159.2 total frames. He'll look to bounce back in his next start, which is currently scheduled to come at home against the Athletics this weekend.

Bailey Ober SP | MIN
Twins' Bailey Ober: Concedes four runs in no-decision
Ober did not factor into the decision in Monday's 6-5 loss to the White Sox. He allowed four runs on six hits and two walks over five innings with three strikeouts.
The Minnesota right-hander struggled with the long ball once again in this 69-pitch outing, coughing up two homers, upping his season total to 29. Ober gave up both round trippers in the second inning with Colson Montgomery hitting a solo shot before Chase Meidroth added a two-run blast. Given Ober's inability to keep the ball in the park (he now owns a 2.1 HR/9), it is difficult to rely upon him in fantasy. The 30-year-old will carry a 5.23 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 99:27 K:BB across 124 total innings into his next matchup, which projects to come on the road against Kansas City this weekend.

Brayan Bello SP | BOS
Red Sox's Brayan Bello: Tallies 11th victory
Bello (11-6) earned the win in Monday's game versus Cleveland, conceding three runs on six hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out four.
The Dominican righty was not at his sharpest in this 100-pitch appearance, snapping a run of four consecutive quality outings. Bello did manage to notch his fifth win out of his last seven starts, as he's pitched to a 2.47 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 33:13 K:BB in 43.2 innings over that stretch. The 26-year-old now sports a 3.07 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 112:50 K:BB across 146.2 total frames. He currently lines up to make his next start on the road against the Athletics early next week.
