Aaron Nola SP | PHI
Phillies' Aaron Nola: Falls to Kansas City
Nola (4-9) took the loss Sunday against the Royals, allowing six runs on six hits and a walk across six innings. He struck out five.
Nola was cruising early, as he held the Royals scoreless until Jac Caglianone's two-run homer in the fifth inning. Things unraveled further in the sixth, however, when Nola gave up four runs on four straight hits, capped by a Salvador Perez three-run blast. In six starts since returning from the IL, Nola has given up six runs in three separate outings. His ERA sits at 6.44 with a 1.43 WHIP and 84:26 K:BB across 15 starts (81 innings) this season. Nola will look to get back on track his next time out, tentatively scheduled to come next week at home against the Diamondbacks.

Noah Cameron P | KC
Royals' Noah Cameron: Sharp in eighth win
Cameron (8-7) earned the win Sunday over the Phillies, allowing two runs on four hits and a walk across seven innings. He struck out seven.
Cameron looked like he was headed for an early exit after giving up home runs to Kyle Schwarber and J.T. Realmuto in the first inning. However, the left-hander rebounded and held the Phillies scoreless over his final six frames, allowing just two more hits in an eventual 10-3 Kansas City victory. Cameron has gone seven innings in back-to-back starts, allowing just four runs while striking out 15 in that span. He's lowered his ERA to 2.98 with a 1.09 WHIP and 103:37 K:BB through 22 starts (127 innings) this year. Cameron is tentatively lined up to face the Blue Jays at home in his next outing.

Burrows has made back-to-back starts for the Pirates, allowing four runs across 8.1 innings while striking out 12 in that span. Overall, the 25-year-old right-hander sports a 4.10 ERA with a 1.24 WHIP and 94:31 K:BB across 90 innings this season. Should he remain in the rotation, Burrows would tentatively line up to face the A's at home his next time out.

Cade Cavalli SP | WAS
Nationals' Cade Cavalli: Goes five innings in no-decision
Cavalli didn't factor into the decision Sunday against the Pirates, allowing three runs on three hits and four walks across five innings. He struck out two.
Cavalli struggled early Sunday, giving up three runs in the first inning, highlighted by a Nick Gonzales two-run triple. However, the 27-year-old right-hander stopped the bleeding there, holding the Pirates scoreless over his final four frames. Cavalli has held opponents to three runs or fewer in each of his last three starts, going 2-0 with a 4.20 ERA in that span. Overall, his ERA sits at 4.76 with a 1.46 WHIP and 31 strikeouts across eight starts (39.2 innings) this season. Cavalli currently lines up for a road matchup with the Mets his next time out.

Trey Yesavage SP | TOR
Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: Will start in MLB debut Monday
Blue Jays manager John Schneider announced that Yesavage will be called up from Triple-A Buffalo to start Monday's game at Tampa Bay.
Since Yesavage had worked in relief in two of his last three appearances with Buffalo, the early expectation was that he would begin his time in the big leagues in the bullpen, but Schneider noted that deploying the 22-year-old as a starter would make his MLB debut as "normal as possible," per Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca. Depending on how Yesavage fares Monday, he could continue starting or shift to a multi-inning relief role, with Schneider noting that the youngster won't face any sort of innings cap over the final two weeks of regular season, according to Davidi. Yesavage -- who has emerged as one of the top pitching prospects in baseball this season -- earned his call-up to the majors after he submitted a 3.12 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 160:41 K:BB in 98 innings across his four minor-league stops in 2025.

Tyler Mahle SP | SF
Rangers' Tyler Mahle: Next outing in majors
Mahle (shoulder) will return from the 60-day injured list to make his next appearance with the Rangers during the upcoming week, MLB.com reports.
Mahle is ready to make his first appearance for the Rangers since June 10 after completing a three-start rehab assignment with Triple-A Round Rock. During his most recent outing Friday, Mahle struck out six and allowed one hit and no walks over four shutout innings while tossing 52 pitches. Since he's not yet stretched out enough to handle a typical starter's workload, Mahle could temporarily work as a bulk reliever, or perhaps get deployed in a piggyback arrangement with current No. 5 starter Jacob Latz.

Rhett Lowder SP | CIN
Reds' Rhett Lowder: Works two innings in rehab game
Lowder (oblique/forearm) allowed one earned run on two hits and struck out two over two innings in a rehab start for Triple-A Louisville on Saturday. He also hit a batter.
Lowder is expected to make one rehab start with Louisville before the minor-league season wraps up, but the right-hander may not be activated from the 60-day injured list before the end of the regular season. Though he appears to be in line for a normal offseason of preparation, Lowder is still expected to pitch in the Arizona Fall League to make up for the development time he lost out on in 2025. He's spent the entire season on the injured list, first due to a right forearm strain suffered in spring training before he was shut down again after straining his left oblique during a rehab appearance with Louisville on May 22.

Hunter Greene SP | CIN
Reds' Hunter Greene: Falters against A's
Greene allowed five runs on four hits and four walks while striking out three over 2.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Athletics on Saturday.
Greene gave up a pair of home runs in the second inning and his struggles continued in the third before the early hook. This was his shortest start of the year and his worst performance since allowing five runs over three innings April 19 versus the Orioles. He's still at a 3.01 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 116:23 K:BB through 92.2 innings over 17 starts, so this can be chalked up as a bad night, especially since four of his previous five outings were quality starts. The right-hander will try to get back on track in a home start versus the Cubs next week.

Luis Severino SP | ATH
Athletics' Luis Severino: Yields five runs
Severino allowed five runs on six hits and two walks while striking out two over five innings in a no-decision versus the Reds on Saturday.
All of the runs on his line came on a pair of home runs, as Will Benson hit a two-run shot in the second inning and Tyler Stephenson added a three-run blast in the fourth. Severino has now allowed eight runs with a 13:4 K:BB over five innings since returning from an oblique injury. He's at a 4.82 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 116:48 K:BB through 151.1 innings across 27 starts this season. The 31-year-old's next start is projected to be a favorable road matchup in Pittsburgh.
