  • Freddy Peralta SP | MIL

    Brewers' Freddy Peralta: Walks four in win

    Peralta (11-8) allowed a run on six hits and four walks while striking out five over five innings to earn the win over the Diamondbacks on Friday.

    Peralta didn't have his best command Friday, but he still did a decent job with run prevention. He's won three of his last five starts, allowing a total of seven runs across 26 innings despite a 22:13 K:BB in that span. Overall, Peralta is at a 3.75 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 184:64 K:BB through 163.1 innings over 30 starts this season. He's projected to make his next appearance at home in a rematch with the Diamondbacks.

  • Diamondbacks' Eduardo Rodriguez: Takes tough loss

    Rodriguez (2-3) allowed two runs on five hits and three walks while striking out seven over five innings to take the loss versus the Brewers on Friday.

    Rodriguez has walked multiple batters in three straight starts, though he was able to get back to the five-inning mark after falling short in his previous two outings. The veteran southpaw's only real mistake Friday resulted in a two-run home run by Rhys Hoskins in the fourth inning, but that was all Milwaukee needed in a 2-1 win. Rodriguez is now at a 5.50 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 25:13 K:BB through 34.1 innings over seven starts this season. He's projected to make his next start at Colorado.

  • Braves' Spencer Schwellenbach: Fans six in victory

    Schwellenbach (6-7) earned the win Friday against the Dodgers, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk over six innings. He struck out six.

    The 24-year-old rookie fared well against the star-studded Dodgers to pick up his first win since Aug. 22 versus Philadelphia. With this 92-pitch outing, Schwellenbach collected his ninth quality start of the season, and he's made nine consecutive starts without allowing more than three runs. Over that stretch, the Atlanta right-hander has been a fantasy stalwart, pitching to a 2.89 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 64:10 K:BB across 53 innings. He is scheduled to make his next start at Cincinnati next week.

  • Landon Knack SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Landon Knack: Shellacked in loss

    Knack (2-4) was the pitcher of record in Friday's 6-2 loss to Atlanta, allowing five earned runs on seven hits and two walks over two innings. He struck out two.

    After returning from Triple-A Oklahoma City last week and delivering a quality start against the Guardians, Knack stumbled out the gate in his second turn through the rotation, allowing three hits and one run in the first inning. Things didn't get better for the 27-year-old in the second inning, as he gave up four runs on four hits -- including two home runs -- before exiting after 64 pitches. Despite the lackluster showing, Knack should continue to hold a starting spot given the myriad injuries plaguing the Los Angeles rotation. He currently projects to face a much easier opponent in the Marlins on the road for his next start.

  • Giants' Bryce Eldridge: Promoted to Triple-A

    The Giants promoted Eldridge from Double-A Richmond to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.

    After playing just nine games with Richmond, during which he went 10-for-37 with a homer and four RBI, Eldridge will now reach the Triple-A level after beginning the season at Single-A. The 19-year-old first baseman has slashed .293/.376/.534 with 23 home runs and 90 RBI across three minor-league levels. Depending on how well he does with Sacramento to close out the season, he could begin the 2025 campaign with the River Cats, and there's a solid chance he claims the big-league first base job at some point next year.

  • Tyler Glasnow SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: Initial scans promising

    Manager Dave Roberts said Friday that initial scans on Glasnow's right elbow were "promising," Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Glasnow reported discomfort in his elbow while warming up for a simulated game Friday. While the Dodgers skipper didn't get into specific details regarding the right-hander's status, it seems there may still be a chance he returns in time to make another start before the end of the regular season.

  • Erick Fedde SP | STL

    Cardinals' Erick Fedde: No-decision against Jays

    Fedde allowed three runs on six hits and a walk over five innings in a no-decision Friday. He struck out three during the extra-innings loss to Toronto.

    Fedde tossed three shutout frames before the Blue Jays pushed across three runs in the fourth inning. He's now failed to complete six innings in six of his eight starts since being acquired by the Cardinals. During that span. he's produced a 4.43 ERA, pushing his season mark up to 3.45. Fedde is 0-5 over his last six starts and hasn't won since Aug. 7. He'll look to get back on track in his next start, which is projected to come at home against the Pirates.

  • Aaron Nola SP | PHI

    Phillies' Aaron Nola: Rough night vs. Mets

    Nola (12-8) took the loss Friday against the Mets, allowing six runs on six hits and two walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out seven.

    Nola was cruising early Friday, holding the Mets without a hit through his first four innings. However, things would unravel quickly in the fifth when New York led off the frame with back-to-back singles before Francisco Alvarez launched a three-run homer. Nola would allow a second three-run blast to Brandon Nimmo later in the frame, forcing the Phillies to turn to the bullpen. The 31-year-old Nola has dropped back-to-back starts, allowing 10 earned runs over 9.1 innings in that span. His ERA sits at 3.62 on the season with a 1.20 WHIP and 174:47 K:BB across 181.1 innings. Nola will look to get back on track in his next outing, currently scheduled for next week on the road in Milwaukee.

  • Davidjohn Herz SP | WAS

    Nationals' DJ Herz: Earns fourth win

    Herz (4-7) yielded a run on four hits and a walk over five innings Friday, striking out five and earning a win over the Marlins.

    Herz turned in three scoreless frames before coughing up a solo homer to Otto Lopez in the fourth inning. It was Herz's second straight win after going 0-3 over his previous five outings. He hasn't thrown six innings in a start since Aug. 14 but has registered a 2.49 ERA over five appearances since then. Herz owns a 3.70 ERA with a 98:30 K:BB through 80.1 innings this season. He's projected for a road matchup with the Mets next week.

  • Jose Quintana SP | NYM

    Mets' Jose Quintana: Wins third straight

    Quintana (9-9) earned the win Friday over the Phillies, allowing three hits over seven scoreless innings. He struck out four.

    Quintana continued a stellar run Friday, blanking a potent Phillies offense on 94 pitches (62 strikes). He's won three straight starts while allowing just one earned run in his last four outings (25 innings). After a shaky start to the year, Quintana's lowered his ERA to 3.91 with a 1.27 WHIP and 122:59 K:BB across 159 innings this season. He'll look to keep rolling in his next start, currently lined up for next week at home against the Nationals.
