Jake Bloss SP | TOR
Blue Jays' Jake Bloss: Reinstated from minor-league IL
Bloss (elbow) has produced an 8.18 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 11:5 K:BB in 11 innings over three starts between Triple-A Buffalo and Double-A New Hampshire since being reinstated from Buffalo's 60-day injured list June 11.
Bloss opened the season on Buffalo's IL while completing his recovery from UCL repair surgery, which he underwent last May. He kicked off a rehab assignment May 12 and made five starts between the rookie-level Florida Complex League and Single-A Dunedin before Buffalo activated him from the IL and assigned him to New Hampshire. After a lone start at the Double-A level, the right-hander was moved back to Buffalo for his last two outings. Bloss had been sharp throughout his rehab assignment, but he looks like he'll need some more time to shake off rust in the upper levels of the minors before potentially getting a look with the Blue Jays later on this season.

Will Warren SP | NYY
Yankees' Will Warren: Takes third loss
Warren (7-3) took the loss against the Red Sox on Friday, giving up five earned runs on seven hits and three strikeouts while failing to record a strikeout in 5.2 innings.
Warren put himself into a hole early Friday, giving up a triple to Wilyer Abreu in the first inning before Willson Contreras drove him home during the ensuing at-bat. Boston put up three more runs over the next two innings, capped off by a solo home run from Contreras. Warren now owns a 5.49 ERA and 1.88 WHIP with a 14:10 K:BB since the beginning of June following this poor showing, but he'll have a chance to redeem himself during his next start at home against Detroit.

Nick Lodolo SP | CIN
Reds' Nick Lodolo: In clear for next start
Lodolo (wrist) is listed as the Reds' probable starter for Monday's game against the Brewers at American Family Field.
During his most recent start Tuesday versus the Brewers in Cincinnati, Lodolo was lifted after four scoreless innings when he took a line drive to his pitching wrist. The southpaw escaped with nothing more than a bruised wrist after X-rays returned negative, and he looks like he'll be ready to go when his turn in the rotation comes up again during the series opener in Milwaukee. Lodolo will carry a 2-2 record, 5.59 ERA and 1.52 WHIP into his 10th start of the season.

Payton Tolle SP | BOS
Red Sox's Payton Tolle: Dazzles during win
Tolle (4-5) earned the win Friday against the Yankees, allowing one hit and two walks while striking out seven batters over seven shutout innings.
Tolle took a perfect game into the sixth inning, but his bid at history came to an end when Spencer Jones blooped a single into left field with one away in the frame. The Yankees managed two more baserunners in the seventh, but none were able to score on Tolle, who had his best stuff working Friday. His win snaps a streak of three consecutive losses, and he'll carry a 2.78 ERA and 1.02 WHIP into his start against the Nationals next week.

Patrick Corbin SP | TOR
Blue Jays' Patrick Corbin: Takes loss Friday
Corbin (2-4) took the loss against the Rangers on Friday after giving up five earned runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out five batters across 4.1 innings.
Corbin didn't do himself any favors by allowing the first three batters he faced to reach base, all of whom would eventually come around to score before the veteran lefty recorded his second out. He then gave up a two-run homer to Justin Foscue in the third frame that would prove to be the deciding factor in the game. Corbin has now failed to complete the fifth inning in each of his last four starts and has given up at least five earned runs twice in that span.

Trevor Rogers SP | BAL
Orioles' Trevor Rogers: Sharp in second straight win
Rogers (5-7) picked up the win Friday, allowing one run on five hits over 6.1 innings in a 3-1 victory over the Nationals. He struck out seven without walking a batter.
The southpaw delivered his second straight win and third straight quality start on 87 pitches (65 strikes) as he continues to put a shaky first couple months of 2026 behind him. Over five starts in June, Rogers has locked in and produced a 2.05 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 23:6 K:BB over 30.2 innings. He'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, which is scheduled to come at home next week against the White Sox.

Nathan Eovaldi SP | TEX
Rangers' Nathan Eovaldi: Fires seven scoreless
Eovaldi (8-7) earned the win Friday against the Blue Jays, giving up five hits and one walk while striking out nine batters over seven shutout innings.
The Rangers' offense gave Eovaldi a 3-0 lead to work with before he threw his first pitch of the game, and he did everything he could to prevent the Blue Jays from closing the gap. The 36-year-old righty didn't allow more than one baserunner in an inning until his final two frames, but he managed to escape both jams without allowing a run, thanks to a double-play ball from Vladimir Guerrero in the sixth and a couple of timely strikeouts to finish the seventh. Eovaldi has now logged three consecutive wins and quality starts while posting a 24:3 K:BB across 20 innings in that span, giving him plenty of momentum heading into his next start against Cleveland.

Paul Skenes SP | PIT
Pirates' Paul Skenes: Fans seven in Friday's no-decision
Skenes came away with a no-decision Friday, giving up four runs on six hits and two walks over five innings as the Pirates fell 6-4 to the Reds. He struck out seven.
All four runs against the right-hander came in a rough second inning that saw the first five Cincinnati hitters reach base before Skenes finally recorded outs on back-to-back sacrifice flies. It's the first time since May 23 that Skenes has been tagged for more than two earned runs, and through five starts in June he's delivered a 3.58 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 39:8 K:BB through 27.2 innings. He'll look for his first win since May 12 in his next outing, which lines up to come on the road next week in Philadelphia.

Andrew Abbott SP | CIN
Reds' Andrew Abbott: Hit hard in no-decision
Abbott didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 6-4 win over the Pirates, giving up four runs (three earned) on six hits -- including three home runs -- and a walk over 5.1 innings. He struck out six.
The southpaw was able to limit the damage despite being taken deep by Konnor Griffin in the first inning and Marcell Ozuna and Esmerlyn Valdez in the sixth, with Abbott leaving a 4-4 tie after 94 pitches (64 strikes). It's the first time in five June starts that Abbott's served up multiple homers, but on the season he's been tagged for 15 long balls in just 90 innings to fuel what would be a career-worst 3.90 ERA. He'll try to tighten things up in his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road next week in Milwaukee.

Keider Montero SP | DET
Tigers' Keider Montero: Blanks Houston in emotional win
Montero (4-5) picked up the win in Friday's 8-0 victory over the Astros, scattering five hits and a walk over seven scoreless innings. He struck out three.
With his mind on the devastation back home after two recent earthquakes, the Venezuelan right-hander produced one of his best outings of the season en route to his seventh quality start of 2026. Montero fired 70 of 96 pitches for strikes, and Houston didn't even get a runner past second base until his final frame. Over five appearances (four starts) in June, Montero sports a 2.70 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 13:3 K:BB in 26.2 innings. Jack Flaherty (ankle) is expected to come off the IL this weekend with Justin Verlander (hamstring) potentially not far behind him, so the Tigers' rotation could get very crowded ahead of the All-Star break, but for now Montero is set to make his next start on the road next week against the Rangers.
