  • Cardinals' Michael McGreevy: Lasts 5.2 innings in no-decision

    McGreevy did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Rockies, allowing three runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out four over 5.2 innings.

    McGreevy held Colorado to just one run through his first five innings, despite pitching through traffic for much of the afternoon, before Brett Sullivan's two-run homer in the sixth inning ultimately chased him from the game. The right-hander has struggled to keep runners off base since the All-Star break, posting a 1.73 WHIP across 24.1 innings over five starts while failing to record a win during that stretch. McGreevy will carry a 3.64 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 85:32 K:BB across 126 innings into his next scheduled start Saturday against the Cubs.

  • Luke Sinnard SP | ATL

    Braves' Luke Sinnard: Overcomes abdominal injury

    Sinnard (abdomen) has allowed four earned runs on six hits and four walks while striking out four batters over six innings in two starts for High-A Rome since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list July 28.

    Sinnard spent about six weeks on the shelf while recovering from an abdominal strain. The right-hander's control has been shaky over his first two starts coming off the IL, but he's still holding down a 3.32 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 25:9 K:BB in 21.2 innings for Rome this season.

  • Yusei Kikuchi SP | LAA

    Angels' Yusei Kikuchi: Struggles in latest rehab outing

    Kikuchi (shoulder) struck out seven and allowed four runs on six hits and one walk across 3.1 innings in a rehab start Sunday with Triple-A Salt Lake.

    Kikuchi was making the third start of minor-league rehab assignment as he works his way back from left shoulder inflammation, which has kept him on the shelf since May 3. The southpaw built up to 69 pitches Sunday, and though he appears to be stretched out enough to handle a traditional starting role, the Angels may want him to show improved results in the minors before adding him back to the big-league rotation. Kikuchi has looked shaky in all three of his rehab outings thus far, compiling a 15.75 ERA, 2.63 WHIP and 16:6 K:BB in eight innings.

  • Joey Cantillo SP | CLE

    Guardians' Joey Cantillo: Rain-shortened start Sunday

    Cantillo took a no-decision against the White Sox on Sunday, allowing one run on three hits and no walks in one inning. He struck out three.

    Sunday's game was delayed for over two hours in the second inning due to inclement weather, and the Guardians chose not to send Cantillo back to the hill upon resumption. The southpaw experienced a laborious first frame, throwing 31 pitches, but he at least managed to record three punchouts before his day ended. Cantillo, who has a 3.91 ERA, a troublesome 1.48 WHIP and 132:56 K:BB over 119.2 innings, should be well-rested for his next scheduled outing against the Padres.

  • Davis Martin SP | CHW

    White Sox's Davis Martin: Start cut short by rain

    Martin took a no-decision against the Guardians on Sunday, allowing two runs (one earned) on two hits and one walk in one inning. He struck out one.

    Sunday's contest stalled for over two hours in the second inning due to rain, and the White Sox opted not to put Martin back on the bump following the delay. A fielding error by Braden Montgomery in right field enabled an unearned run to come across in the opening frame, and Martin has now surrendered a whopping 18 earned runs over his past four starts (17 innings). The right-hander should be fresh for his next scheduled outing in Detroit, but he's limped since the beginning of June to a 6.83 ERA, 1.73 WHIP and 37:24 K:BB across his last 12 appearances (55.1 innings).

  • Angels' Grayson Rodriguez: Mixed results in loss

    Rodriguez (3-5) took the loss against the Marlins on Sunday, allowing four runs (three earned) on four hits and four walks with eight strikeouts over four innings.

    Rodriguez allowed three runs in the first inning and struggled with his control, throwing just 47 of 83 pitches for strikes and issuing four walks. On the other hand, he generated an impressive 15 whiffs and tallied a season-high eight punchouts. It comes on the heels of consecutive two-run outings from the 26-year-old, who's been unable to register a win in five starts since the All-Star break. He'll take a 7.20 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 50:26 K across 55 innings this season into a home matchup with the Royals next weekend.

  • Tyler Glasnow SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: Surrenders one run in rehab start

    Glasnow (back) pitched 2.2 innings, allowing one run on one hit and a walk while striking out two batters in Sunday's rehab start with Triple-A Oklahoma City.

    Glasnow made the second start of his minor-league rehab assignment, and he was able to notch 26 strikes over 47 total pitches. The team had set a goal of roughly three innings and 45 pitches for the right-hander, so he fulfilled what was expected. Glasnow will need to make at least one more start at the minor-league level before he'd be in a position to be activated from the 60-day injured list.

  • Ryan Gusto SP | MIA

    Marlins' Ryan Gusto: Goes four innings in no-decision

    Gusto did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 12-3 win over the Angels, allowing two runs on three hits and one walk with four strikeouts over four innings.

    Gusto threw 44 of 60 pitches for strikes, settling in with two scoreless innings after allowing a run in each of his first two frames. It was a short outing considering the 27-year-old logged 11 innings over his previous two turns, including an 83-pitch quality start Tuesday. He owns a 4.78 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 43:14 K across 49 innings this season and lines up for a road matchup with the Reds next weekend.

  • Grant Holmes SP | ATL

    Braves' Grant Holmes: Goes six scoreless frames again

    Holmes did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 2-1, extra-inning win over the Yankees, allowing three hits and two walks while striking out two over six scoreless innings.

    Holmes needed just 77 pitches to cruise through six scoreless innings, generating 10 swinging strikes while limiting the Yankees to one extra-base hit. The 30-year-old has now delivered back-to-back scoreless quality starts, and he's yielded three earned runs or fewer in 16 straight appearances dating back to May 12. He'll carry a 3.47 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 94:48 K:BB across 114 innings this season into a home matchup with the Diamondbacks next weekend.

  • Cam Schlittler SP | NYY

    Yankees' Cam Schlittler: Strikes out 11 in no-decision

    Schlittler did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 2-1, extra-inning loss to Atlanta, allowing one run on three hits with 11 strikeouts over seven innings.

    Schlittler was dominant until surrendering a solo homer to Matt Olson in the seventh inning, throwing 67 of 96 pitches for strikes with a whopping 23 whiffs. It was a quick rebound after the 25-year-old stumbled in his shortest outing of the year Monday, and he's now delivered three double-digit strikeout efforts on the campaign. He'll take a 2.21 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 182:31 K across 146.2 innings into a road matchup with the Blue Jays next weekend.
