  • Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Punches out six in 14th win

    Misiorowski (14-5) notched the win against the Mets on Thursday, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out six.

    Misiorowski battled a slick mound at times at wet Citi Field on Thursday, but the rainy conditions didn't stop him from firing six strong innings. The All-Star right-hander extended his streak of quality starts to five, and he's now fanned at least six in all but one of his 25 outings on the year. He's set to take an outstanding 1.73 ERA, 0.75 WHIP and 222:35 K:BB over 151 innings into a tough road assignment against the division-rival Cubs.

  • Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Expected to start rehab assignment soon

    Wrobleski (forearm) is expected to join Triple-A Oklahoma City to begin a minor-league rehab assignment this weekend, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

    Wrobleski had a throwing session Wednesday, and he appears to have avoided any setbacks in his recovery from left forearm inflammation. The southpaw was placed on the 15-day injured list Aug. 16, and it's possible that he will require only one outing with Oklahoma City before returning to the major-league roster. Wrobleski is eligible to be activated from the IL on Tuesday, and upon his activation, he's expected to operate out of the bullpen moving forward this season for Los Angeles.

  • Jose Cabrera SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Jose Cabrera: Recalled and starting

    The Diamondbacks recalled Cabrera from Triple-A Reno to start Thursday's game against the Giants.

    Cabrera is starting on the mound Thursday in San Francisco to fill in for Michael Soroka, who's on the injured list due to right shoulder inflammation. In a corresponding move, Arizona optioned Drey Jameson following Wednesday's 2-0 win over the Cubs. Cabrera has made four MLB appearances this year and has a 5.60 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 12:7 K:BB over 17.2 innings.

  • Roki Sasaki SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Roki Sasaki: Placed on IL

    The Dodgers placed Sasaki on the 15-day injured list Thursday due to a blister on his right middle finger.

    Sasaki had a nice seven-game stretch with a 2.63 ERA and 1.12 WHIP prior to taking a no-decision in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to Atlanta. He surrendered four runs to Atlanta as he developed the blister, which has now sent him to the injured list. In a corresponding move Thursday, the Dodgers recalled Seth Halvorsen from Triple-A Oklahoma City while Eric Lauer will take over Sasaki's rotation spot.

  • Dustin May SP | MIL

    Brewers' Dustin May: Could slot back into rotation Sunday

    Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Thursday that May (shoulder) could start Sunday's game against the Rangers, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    May had to be removed from Wednesday's start against the Mets after throwing just one pitch due to a liner that struck him in the upper back/shoulder. He managed to escape serious injury and was able to play catch on the field Thursday. If May continues to recover as anticipated, he should be ready to take the ball Sunday on three days' rest.

  • Jake Irvin SP | WAS

    Nationals' Jake Irvin: Issues six walks in no-decision

    Irvin did not factor into the decision Thursday against the Rockies, allowing a run on three hits and six walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out six.

    While he held Colorado to a lone run Thursday, Irvin left the game before he could qualify for the win after he threw 94 pitches (53 strikes) while issuing a season-high six walks. Despite his spotty command, it could still be considered a step in the right direction for Irvin, who had struggled to a 7.01 ERA across 25.2 frames in his previous five starts. Overall, the right-hander is 2-8 with a 5.62 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 82:39 K:BB across 17 starts (81.2 innings) this season. Irvin's currently in line to face Atlanta at home his next time out.

  • Gabriel Hughes SP | COL

    Rockies' Gabriel Hughes: Falls to 0-6

    Hughes (0-6) took the loss Thursday against the Nationals, allowing four runs on seven hits and four walks over five innings. He struck out three.

    Hughes has had a rough go of it on the mound of late, posting a 10.03 ERA over 23.1 innings in his last five outings. Overall, the rookie right-hander sports a 6.61 ERA through 47.2 innings this season with a 1.45 WHIP and 38:19 K:BB. Hughes, who's still looking for his first major-league win, tentatively lines up to face the Orioles at home his next time out.

  • Hunter Dobbins SP | STL

    Cardinals' Hunter Dobbins: Getting second opinion on forearm

    Dobbins will receive a second opinion on his injured right forearm Tuesday, Brenden Schaeffer of MLB.com reports.

    Dobbins landed on the 15-day injured list last week and remains shut down due to inflammation around his right flexor tendon. It's possible the injury will prevent Dobbins from making it back this season, but more should be known about his status following Tuesday's exam. Dobbins has authored a 3.67 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 52:24 K:BB over 54 innings covering eight starts and three relief outings for the Cardinals in 2026.

  • Jarlin Susana SP | WAS

    Nationals' Jarlin Susana: Makes return from Double-A injured list

    Susana (lat) struck out four and allowed one hit and one walk across 2.2 innings Wednesday in his return to action for Double-A Harrisburg after being reinstated from the 60-day injured list.

    Susana had been on the shelf all season while recovering from right lat surgery, but he finally received the green light to join the Harrisburg rotation after turning in a 5.68 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 13:3 K:BB in 6.1 innings over three rehab starts with High-A Wilmington. The 22-year-old righty will likely have his workloads monitored carefully in his starts for the rest of the season, but he'll likely head into spring training with fewer restrictions in place. One of the Nationals' top pitching prospects, Susana should have a strong chance at making starts for the big club in 2027.

  • Gavin Stone SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Gavin Stone: Outstanding run at Triple-A continues

    Stone (shoulder) struck out five and allowed one hit and no walks over four shutout innings during his rehab start Wednesday with Triple-A Oklahoma City.

    Though Stone hasn't pitched in the big leagues since Aug. 31, 2024 after undergoing right shoulder surgery in October of that year and then hitting a snag in his recovery earlier this spring, he hasn't exhibited any signs of rust since kicking off his rehab assignment earlier this month. Through four starts at Oklahoma City, Stone has submitted a 1.54 ERA, 0.43 WHIP and 18:1 K:BB in 11.2 innings. The magnificent run at Triple-A in addition to Roki Sasaki's (finger) impending move to the 15-day injured list could clear the way for Stone to claim a starting spot in the six-man rotation or work in bulk relief behind Shohei Ohtani (knee) upon returning from the 60-day IL. Stone, who built up to 58 pitches Wednesday, may need at make at least one more appearance in the minors before the Dodgers consider activating him.
