  • Alex McFarlane RP | 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.

  • 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.

  • Robert Gasser SP | MIL

    Brewers' Robert Gasser: Limits Marlins in no-decision

    Gasser did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Marlins, allowing one run on three hits while striking out five over five innings.

    Gasser's only blemish came on an Esteury Ruiz solo homer in the third inning, and he closed his outing by retiring eight of the final nine batters he faced. He exited the outing in line for a loss until Milwaukee broke through in the ninth for a walk-off win. The left-hander bounced back nicely after surrendering seven runs over three innings against the Pirates in his final start before the All-Star break. He'll carry a 4.91 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 48:14 K:BB into his next scheduled start at home against the Rockies. Until Kyle Harrison (elbow) returns from the injured list, Gasser should continue to have a spot in Milwaukee's rotation.

  • Padres' German Marquez: Short outing in no-decision

    Marquez did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 19-2 win over the Royals, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks with two strikeouts over three innings.

    Marquez was staked an early lead but departed at just 59 pitches after loading the bases and failing to record an out in the fourth inning. The 31-year-old has yielded three or fewer earned runs in each of his four July outings (three starts), though he's completed five frames just once during that span. He owns a 5.24 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 30:22 K:BB across 44.2 innings this season and lines up to face the Marlins on the road next weekend.
