Mitch Bratt SP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Mitch Bratt: Handed another start
Bratt is listed as the Diamondbacks' starting pitcher for Monday's game against the Athletics at Chase Field.
Bratt will get a second turn through the Arizona rotation, despite being chased from his previous start July 12 in Los Angeles after the Dodgers knocked him around for three runs on three hits and three walks over three innings. The 23-year-old southpaw could be in line for an extended run in the Arizona rotation after Zac Gallen (elbow) was recently moved to the injured list.

Calvin Ziegler SP | NYM
Mets' Calvin Ziegler: Returns from IL at High-A
High-A Brooklyn reinstated Ziegler (elbow) from its 7-day injured list Friday.
Ziegler didn't make any appearances over the weekend, but he's considered healthy again despite posting a 10.80 ERA, 3.60 WHIP and 5:6 K:BB in 3.1 innings over five rehab appearances between the rookie-level Florida Complex League and Single-A St. Lucie over the past month. The right-hander missed most of the 2024 season and all of the 2025 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery.

Alex McFarlane SP | PHI
Phillies' Alex McFarlane: Poised for big-league promotion
The Phillies will recall McFarlane from Double-A Reading prior to Monday's contest versus the Dodgers, Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com reports.
McFarlane had a brief stint with the Phillies in April but has yet to make his major-league debut. The 25-year-old has made a full-time move to relief this season and turned in a 2.06 ERA and 47:18 K:BB over 35 frames at Reading.

Joe Musgrove SP | SD
Padres' Joe Musgrove: Completes mound session
Padres manager Craig Stammen said that Musgrove (elbow) threw approximately 30-to-40 pitches in a two-inning simulated bullpen session Friday at the organization's complex in Arizona, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Stammen said Musgrove came out of the session feeling healthy, but the veteran right-hander still has several checkpoints to hit in the rehab process before getting cleared to make his 2026 debut. Musgrove missed the entire 2025 season while recovering from the Tommy John surgery that he underwent the previous October, then dealt with cartilage issues this spring that have continued to keep him on the shelf throughout the campaign. After months of limited progress, Musgrove seems to have turned a corner in his recovery, but he'll likely need at least another month to finish out his throwing progression and complete an extended rehab assignment before making his return from the 60-day injured list.

Andre Pallante SP | STL
Cardinals' Andre Pallante: Fades late in no-decision
Pallante did not factor into the decision in Sunday's extra-inning loss, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks over 5.1 innings against the Diamondbacks. He struck out three.
Pallante fired five scoreless frames before running into trouble in the sixth inning, allowing two runs before being pulled, while reliever Ryne Stanek allowed an inherited runner to score. Over his past five starts, Pallante has posted a 4.71 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 13:6 K:BB across 28.2 innings. Overall, the right-hander owns a 10-6 record with a 4.02 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 75:31 K:BB through 105.1 innings (19 starts) and is tentatively scheduled to make his next start Friday against the Reds.

Eduardo Rodriguez SP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Eduardo Rodriguez: Chased early Sunday
Rodriguez did not factor into the decision in Sunday's extra-inning win, allowing five runs on seven hits and two walks over 2.2 innings against the Cardinals. He struck out three.
Rodriguez turned in what was likely his worst start of the campaign, surrendering a season-high five runs, all of which came in the third inning. Sunday's performance snapped a streak of six consecutive outings allowing two or fewer runs. The southpaw owns a 2.62 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 82:41 K:BB across 116.2 innings (20 starts) and will look to bounce back in his next outing, tentatively scheduled for Friday against the Nationals.

Hunter Greene SP | CIN
Reds' Hunter Greene: Earns second win
Greene (2-1) earned the win Sunday against the Rockies, allowing three runs on four hits while striking out seven over six innings.
Greene surrendered a solo homer to Hunter Goodman in the first inning but responded by allowing just one hit over the next four frames. Goodman got to him again with a two-run shot in the sixth, though Cincinnati had already plated nine runs by then. Greene's outing landed in between his two previous starts since returning from the injured list -- an eight-run clunker and a dominant seven-scoreless-inning, 12-strikeout performance. He's lined up to face the Cardinals on the road in his next scheduled start.

Ryan Feltner SP | COL
Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Tagged for eight runs Sunday
Feltner (3-4) took the loss Sunday against the Reds after allowing eight runs on seven hits and four walks while striking out three over 2.1 innings.
Feltner never found his footing as Cincinnati broke the game open immediately. Nathaniel Lowe belted a three-run homer in the first inning before Tyler Stephenson followed with a two-run shot later in the frame. Sal Stewart added a three-run homer in the second, and Feltner's day ended after issuing back-to-back walks in the third inning. The eight runs allowed tied his career high, set in 2024, and he has now issued four walks in three of his last five starts. Sunday's outing caused the right-hander's ERA to jump from 4.55 to 5.48. Feltner will look to rebound in his next scheduled start on the road against the Brewers.
-
Grant Holmes SP | ATL
Braves' Grant Holmes: Nabs sixth win Sunday
Holmes (6-4) earned the win Sunday against Texas, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out two.
Holmes wasn't at his best Sunday, tying a season worst in hits allowed while matching a season low in strikeouts. The 30-year-old right-hander hasn't worked into the sixth inning in seven consecutive starts, fanning just two on four occasions while posting a concerning 21:14 K:BB during that span. Holmes will bring what's still a decent 3.70 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 78:41 K:BB over 92.1 innings into his next scheduled appearance in Baltimore.

Shota Imanaga SP | CHC
Cubs' Shota Imanaga: Tosses seven scoreless innings
Imanaga (6-8) earned the win Sunday against the Twins, allowing six hits and one walk while striking out four over seven scoreless innings.
Imanaga threw 63 of his 99 pitches for strikes and kept Minnesota's lineup in check throughout the afternoon. Chicago's offense gave him plenty of breathing room with 10 runs over the first four innings, but the left-hander still turned in his fourth scoreless outing of the season. After enduring a rough four-start stretch in late May that saw him post a 10.80 ERA, Imanaga has bounced back with a 2.31 ERA across his last seven starts. The southpaw is lined up to face the Pirates on the road in his next outing.
