  • Kyle Tyler RP | BAL

    Phillies' Kyle Tyler: Claimed by Philly

    The Phillies claimed Tyler off waivers from the Marlins on Sunday and optioned him to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

    The right-hander was designated for assignment by Miami on Friday, and Philadelphia scooped him up to bolster the organization's pitching depth. Tyler made eight appearances (seven starts) for the Marlins this year and posted a 5.40 ERA, 1.74 WHIP and 25:18 K:BB across 31.2 innings.

  • MacKenzie Gore SP | TEX

    Nationals' MacKenzie Gore: Walks six in 10th loss

    Gore (7-10) was saddled with the loss Sunday, allowing five runs (zero earned) on five hits and six walks over four innings against the Angels. He struck out two.

    Gore produced a bit of a weird line, as it was just the second time all year he failed to allow an earned run, thanks to a fielding error by Jose Tena that directly allowed one run to score and helped set up four more. That's where Gore took over, walking four of a season-high six batters in the fateful fourth that culminated with a bases-clearing double by Kevin Pillar. Gore was removed after the inning and saddled with his 10th loss of the season. Gore was coming off his first win in nearly two months following his last start and will look to rebound in his next slated matchup, against the Phillies in the City of Brotherly Love.

  • Chase Burns SP | CIN

    Reds' Chase Burns: Will make full-season debut in 2025

    Burns, the Reds' first-round pick in the 2025 Draft, is working out at the Reds' spring training facility in Arizona and will make his full-season debut next spring, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

    Burns will pitch some in the instructional league in the fall as well, following the same path as last year's first-round pick, Rhett Lowder. "Multiple factors played into the decision," Reds player development director Jeremy Farrell recently said. "But given the time off he had from the end of the Wake Forest season and wanting to set him up for 2025, the plan will be for him to pitch competitively in instructional league and then go into a normal offseason routine to prepare for next year."

  • Landon Knack SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Landon Knack: Promoted Sunday

    The Dodgers recalled Knack from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday.

    The 27-year-old is taking the 26-man active roster spot of River Ryan, who landed on the injured list Sunday due to an elbow injury. Knack has started in eight of his nine big-league appearances this season and has a 3.07 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 42:12 K:BB across 44 innings. He's likely to fill a long-relief role while he's up with the big club.

  • River Ryan P | LAD

    Dodgers' River Ryan: Done for season

    The Dodgers placed Ryan on the 15-day injured list Sunday with right forearm tightness, and manager Dave Roberts said the rookie will miss the rest of the 2024 season, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

    Ryan is undergoing an MRI on Sunday to determine the full extent of the forearm injury that he suffered in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Pirates, but the Dodgers have apparently seen enough to rule him out for the rest of the campaign. It's a tough break for the 25-year-old, who was called up for his big-league debut in late July and posted a 1.33 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 18:9 K:BB over 20.1 innings through his first four starts.

  • Merrill Kelly SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Merrill Kelly: Activated for start Sunday

    The Diamondbacks reinstated Kelly (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list to start Sunday's game against the Phillies, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    The 35-year-old right-hander has been sidelined since mid-April due to a teres major strain of his right shoulder, but he's ready to rejoin Arizona's rotation after one rehab start. Kelly threw 62 pitches over four innings for High-A Hillsboro in that outing, so he'll likely face some workload limitations in his first couple starts back in the majors. He posted a 2.19 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 21:6 K:BB over 24.2 innings prior to going down with the injury.

  • Dakota Hudson SP | LAA

    Rockies' Dakota Hudson: Out with elbow inflammation

    The Rockies placed Hudson on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to right elbow inflammation.

    Hudson was called up for his 18th start of the season Saturday versus Atlanta and surrendered five runs on three hits and four walks over 2.2 innings in a no-decision. The 29-year-old may not reclaim a spot in the Colorado rotation once healthy, given his 6.17 ERA and 49:50 K:BB over 89 innings this season.

  • DL Hall RP | MIL

    Brewers' DL Hall: Activated, starting Sunday

    The Brewers reinstated Hall (knee) from the 60-day injured list Sunday. He'll start in Milwaukee's series finale with Cincinnati.

    Milwaukee already has five healthy starters, so unless manager Pat Murphy plans to expand the rotation to six men, Hall could be headed to the bullpen following Sunday's outing, which will be his first with the big club since April 20. Before landing on the IL due to a left knee sprain, Hall's spot in the rotation may have already been on thin ice, as he submitted a 7.71 ERA and 2.27 WHIP across 16.1 innings over his four starts with the big club this season. The left-hander displayed better form over the final three outings of his rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville, logging a 2.77 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 12:6 K:BB across 13 innings. Hall topped out at five innings and 76 pitches during his rehab assignment, so he shouldn't be operating under any significant workload restrictions Sunday.

  • Patrick Corbin SP | TOR

    Nationals' Patrick Corbin: Shaky in no-decision

    Corbin came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Angels, giving up four runs on eight hits and three walks over four-plus innings. He struck out two.

    The 35-year-old lefty remains arguably the worst regular starter in MLB. Corbin has a rough 7.25 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 32:10 K:BB through seven starts and 36 innings since the beginning of July, and his 5.98 ERA on the season is the highest in the majors among qualified pitchers. Should Cade Cavalli (elbow) make it back before the end of the season, it'll likely be Corbin who gets bumped from the rotation to make room for him, but until then the Nationals don't seem to have any better options. Corbin lines up to make his next trip to the mound on the road next weekend in Philadelphia.

  • Sean Manaea RP | NYM

    Mets' Sean Manaea: Done after three innings

    Manaea (8-5) took the loss against the Mariners on Saturday, allowing three runs on four hits and five walks over three innings while striking out three.

    All three runs charged to Manaea came across in the opening frame when the right-hander surrendered hits to four of the first six batters he faced, including three doubles, while also allowing a runner to advance on a wild pitch. He would manage to get through the next two innings unscathed but was relieved by Huascar Brazoban to open the fourth after throwing 85 pitches through three innings. It marked the shortest outing of the season for Manaea after hurling 14 scoreless frames over his previous two starts, while the five walks on the night matched his season high.
