  • Cardinals' Adam Wainwright: Nursing hamstring tightness

    Wainwright was removed from Sunday's game against the Cubs due to hamstring tightness, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    Wainwright had to leave the game due to injury, though it remains to be seen if he'll be forced to miss any time while on the mend. He's likely headed for further testing.

  • Cardinals' Adam Wainwright: Exits with injury

    Wainwright exited Sunday's game against the Cubs with an apparent injury, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

    It's unclear as to what kind of injury Wainwright sustained, but it was evidently significant enough to chase him from the game. He'll be considered day-to-day until more information is disclosed.

  • Pablo Lopez SP | MIN

    Marlins' Pablo Lopez: Fans seven in no-decision

    Lopez allowed one run on four hits and a walk while striking out seven over six innings in Sunday's no-decision against the Braves.

    Lopez gave up his lone run in the third inning on a pair of hits, and even though he pitched well enough for the victory, he didn't factor into the decision. The 23-year-old right-hander has now registered three straight quality starts, and he now owns a 4.26 ERA with 69 punchouts across 69.2 innings this season.

  • Max Fried SP | NYY

    Braves' Max Fried: Delivers quality start

    Fried allowed three runs on six hits and a walk while striking out seven over six innings in Sunday's no-decision against the Marlins.

    Fried gave up a solo home run in the first inning and two runs in the fifth on three hits, but his offense would get him off the hook for the loss by tying the game in the ninth inning. The 25-year-old lefty had struggled in each of his last two outings (nine runs over 9.2 innings), but he managed to turn things around Sunday. Fried will enter his next start with a 3.75 ERA and 1.29 WHIP with 66 strikeouts through 72 frames.

  • Aaron Nola SP | PHI

    Phillies' Aaron Nola: Settles for no-decision

    Nola allowed three runs on four hits with seven strikeouts and three walks across 6.2 innings during a no-decision against the Reds on Sunday.

    The 26-year-old couldn't quite make it through the seventh inning. He recorded the first two outs of the inning, but when he allowed a single and walk next, the Phillies went to the bullpen, which permitted both inherited runners to score. Nola got off to a really poor start this year, but despite this no-decision, he's mostly pitched much better lately, going 4-1 with a 3.48 ERA in his last nine outings. Overall, Nola is 6-1 with a 4.58 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 86 strikeouts in 76.2 innings. His next start will be at the Braves on Saturday.

  • Sonny Gray SP | BOS

    Reds' Sonny Gray: Takes no-decision

    Gray allowed three runs on four hits with three strikeouts and three walks across 5.2 innings during a no-decision against the Phillies on Sunday.

    While he just missed recording an official quality start, Gray has been pitching much better, going 2-1 with a 2.38 ERA in his last four outings. He's walked 10 batters during that stretch, but he hasn't yielded any homers and has struck out 23. Overall, Gray is 2-5 with a 3.65 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 71 strikeouts in 66.2 innings. He will look to continue building upon this start next Sunday at home against the Rangers.

  • Chase Anderson RP | TEX

    Brewers' Chase Anderson: Tosses six strong innings

    Anderson allowed two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out six over six innings Sunday in a no-decision against the Pirates.

    Anderson made a key mistake in the second inning, surrendering a two-run home run to center, but he turned in a quality outing and Milwaukee would eventually emerge with the victory. The 31-year-old was hit hard in his last outing against Miami, but he managed to bounce back in the series finale. Anderson has posted a 3.80 ERA and 1.31 WHIP with a 46:15 K:BB over 42.2 innings.

  • Mets' Noah Syndergaard: Strikes out seven in win

    Syndergaard (4-4) gave up no runs on one hit and two walks while striking out seven through seven innings to get the win over the Rockies on Sunday.

    Syndergaard was tremendous as he allowed only three baserunners and posted 17 swinging strikes. The win was the first in his last five starts even though he has delivered four quality starts in that span. The 26-year-old has a 4-4 record with a 4.45 ERA and a 8.9 K/9 through 14 starts this season. Syndergaard will look to keep rolling in his next start Saturday against the Cardinals.

  • Rich Hill SP | KC

    Dodgers' Rich Hill: Squeaks out third win

    Hill (3-1) picked up the win Saturday in a 7-2 victory over the Giants, allowing two runs on seven hits and three walks over five innings while striking out six.

    The southpaw wasn't particularly efficient, needing 94 pitches (59 strikes) to record his 15 outs, and after he escaped a bases-loaded, no-out jam in the fifth inning Hill hit the showers with the score tied 2-2 -- only for the Dodgers to take the lead for good in the top of the sixth while he was still the pitcher of record. He'll carry a 2.40 ERA and 52:12 K:BB through 45 innings into his next start Friday, at home against the Cubs.

  • Jack Flaherty SP | DET

    Cardinals' Jack Flaherty: Chased early by Cubs

    Flaherty didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 9-4 loss to the Cubs, allowing four runs on five hits and three walks over 3.2 innings. He failed to strike out a batter.

    It was the first time all season Flaherty had failed to fan a batter, and his only shorter outing came April 16 in Milwaukee, when he got chased with two outs in the third inning. The young right-hander now sports a 4.08 ERA and 73:23 K:BB through 68.1 innings, and he'll look to rebound in his next start Thursday, on the road against the Mets.
