Merrill Kelly SP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Merrill Kelly: Exits with injury
Kelly was removed from Friday's game against the Dodgers due to a right leg cramp.
Kelly made it through 5.2 innings Friday while allowing just one run before calling for a trainer to come out to the mound. The Diamondbacks may keep an eye on Kelly's leg over the next few days to be careful, but his cramp likely won't keep him from making his next scheduled start.

Ryan Feltner SP | COL
Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Takes sixth loss
Feltner (4-6) picked up the loss after allowing three runs on four hits and three walks while striking out two over 5.1 innings in a 3-2 loss to the Cardinals on Friday.
Feltner recorded his fourth loss in his last five starts. The 29-year-old allowed two runs in the second inning courtesy of two sacrifice flies from Nathan Church and Bryan Torres, and then gave up a solo home run to Ivan Herrera the next inning. On the year, Feltner owns a 5.71 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 59:33 K:BB over 82 innings. The right-hander is slated to start his next game Wednesday against Arizona.

Kyle Leahy SP | STL
Cardinals' Kyle Leahy: Picks up eighth win
Leahy (8-4) earned the win after allowing two runs on eight hits while striking out eight over five innings during a 3-2 win over the Rockies on Friday. He did not issue a walk.
Leahy recorded his eighth consecutive start allowing two earned runs or fewer dating back to June 23. Leahy allowed two runs on two RBI groundouts from Troy Johnston. Over his last seven starts, the 29-year-old owns a 3-0 record, 1.75 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 37:7 K:BB over 36 innings. The right-hander is tentatively scheduled to make his next start Wednesday against the Phillies.

Parker Messick SP | CLE
Guardians' Parker Messick: Throws seven sharp innings
Messick (9-6) picked up the win after allowing two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out eight over seven innings against the White Sox on Friday.
Messick recorded his sixth straight start with two earned runs or fewer allowed Friday, as the left-hander made just two mistakes, allowing solo home runs to Braden Montgomery and Munetaka Murakami. The 25-year-old logged his most strikeouts in a game since June 23, when he recorded 10 strikeouts, also against the White Sox. Over 23 starts this year, Messick has posted a 2.57 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 136:38 K:BB in 136.2 innings. The southpaw is lined up to make his next start Thursday against the Tigers.

Noah Schultz SP | CHW
White Sox's Noah Schultz: Removed after manager's mistake
Schultz (3-9) took the loss after allowing two runs on three hits while striking out one in one-third of an inning Friday against Cleveland.
Schultz was pulled after just one-third of an inning from Friday's series opener after White Sox manager Will Venable made the team's second mound visit of the inning, which, according to the official MLB rules, forces a pitcher to be removed from the game. The 23-year-old allowed a two-run single to Angel Martinez to open the scoring before exiting early. On the campaign, the left-hander now owns a 6.06 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 59:31 K:BB through 65.1 innings.

Payton Tolle SP | BOS
Red Sox's Payton Tolle: Fans 14 in Friday's blowout win
Tolle (7-6) earned the win against the Athletics on Friday, allowing one run on two hits while striking out 14 across six innings while not issuing a walk.
Tolle had a perfect game going through four innings, during which he struck out the side in both the second and fourth frames. That effort ended in the fifth by a leadoff home run by Tyler Soderstrom, but Tolle responded by striking out the next two batters he faced before fanning three more batters in the sixth. The 23-year-old induced a ridiculous 24 whiffs on just 84 pitches (61 strikes), and he probably could have stayed in the game for at least one more inning if the Red Sox needed him to. His 14 punchouts surpassed his previous career high of 11 that he had in his 2026 debut against the Yankees on April 23. Tolle has recorded quality starts in back-to-back outings, and he'll take a 3.20 ERA and 1.10 WHIP over 107 innings into his next start, which is lined up for next week against the Blue Jays at the Rogers Centre in Toronto.

Zebby Matthews SP | MIN
Twins' Zebby Matthews: Exits with trainer
Matthews was removed from Friday's game against the Brewers with a right foot blister, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
Matthews came out to the mound to warm up for the sixth inning but was taken out of the game by a trainer. It's unclear whether his blister will affect his availability for his next start -- lined up for Wednesday against Baltimore -- but the Twins may provide more details in the near future. Before his exit, Matthews gave up six runs (three earned) on seven hits and two walks while collecting four strikeouts.

Jackson Jobe SP | DET
Tigers' Jackson Jobe: Activated from IL
The Tigers reinstated Jobe (elbow) from the injured list Friday.
Jobe isn't scheduled to make his season debut until Saturday after spending the first several months of the season recovering from Tommy John surgery, but the Tigers will bring him back a day early. Brenan Hanifee will head down to Triple-A Toledo to free up space on the active roster.

Blake Snell SP | LAD
Dodgers' Blake Snell: Making return Tuesday
Snell (elbow) will return from the 60-day injured list to start Tuesday's game against the Royals in Los Angeles, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Snell will receive the green light to return to the Dodgers rotation after making four rehab starts in the minors, during which he posted a 3.09 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 19:5 K:BB across 11.2 innings. Although his final outing at Triple-A lasted just 3.2 frames, the 33-year-old southpaw managed to build up to 73 pitches, so the Dodgers may not place a significant restriction on his workload as he makes what will be just his second start in the majors this season.

Trent Harris RP | SF
Giants' Trent Harris: Selected to majors
The Giants selected Harris' contract from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday.
Harris has posted a 3.12 ERA and 1.37 WHIP alongside a 52:18 K:BB over 40.1 innings while spending the entire season at Triple-A. The 27-year-old's strong performance in a hitter-friendly league will now buy him a look with the big club, replacing Tristan Beck in the Giants' bullpen. Harris will be making his MLB debut whenever he gets into a game.
