  • Rays' Drew Rasmussen: Bad inning ruins start

    Rasmussen didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against Seattle, allowing three runs on four hits over five innings. He struck out two and did not issue a walk.

    Rasmussen was excellent outside of the fourth inning. He ceded three solo homers during the frame, marking the 30-year-old's first time allowing more than two home runs in a start this season. He's now yielded multiple homers in two of his last three appearances. Since the start of August, Rasmussen has a 2.10 ERA with a 28:3 K:BB across 34.1 innings. He's on track to face the Guardians on Sunday.

  • Royals' Michael Lorenzen: Saddled with loss

    Lorenzen (5-9) took the loss Tuesday against the Angels, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk with five strikeouts over six innings.

    Lorenzen was cruising until the sixth inning, when he allowed a single and a two-run home run to Jo Adell. Adell's blast prevented Lorenzen from notching his third scoreless start in his last five appearances. On the year, Lorenzen owns a 4.54 ERA with a 105:34 K:BB across 119 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to close out a two-start week Sunday against Minnesota.

  • Davis Martin SP | CHW

    White Sox's Davis Martin: Victorious against Twins

    Martin (6-9) picked up the win Tuesday against Minnesota, allowing three runs on six hits and three walks with four strikeouts over six innings.

    Martin nabbed his second quality start in his last eight appearances and picked up a win in his third straight decision. He didn't allow a home run Tuesday after yielding four long balls across his prior two outings. In his last eight starts, Martin has a 4.57 ERA and 36:22 K:BB across 41.1 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Tigers on Sunday.

  • Twins' Simeon Woods Richardson: Seven Ks in no-decision

    Woods Richardson didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the White Sox, allowing three runs (two earned) on two hits and three walks across five innings. He struck out seven.

    Woods Richardson struggled in his first start back from the injured list Aug. 27, allowing five runs and three homers while striking out two across 3.2 innings. He fared much better Tuesday, tying his season high in strikeouts. The 24-year-old will carry a 4.53 ERA into his next start, which is scheduled to come against the Angels.

  • Logan Webb SP | SF

    Giants' Logan Webb: Fans seven in 13th win

    Webb (13-9) earned the win Tuesday against the Rockies, allowing two runs on seven hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out seven.

    Even though Webb's streak of starts of at least six innings was stopped at six, he still turned in a decent outing at hitter-friendly Coors Field. The All-Star right-hander has fired fewer than five frames just twice all year, and he's now fanned at least five on 24 occasions among his 29 outings. Webb owns a steady 3.17 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 194:39 K:BB across 178.2 innings, and he's next lined up to take the hill early next week at home against the division-rival Diamondbacks.

  • Shota Imanaga RP | CHC

    Cubs' Shota Imanaga: Logs sixth straight quality start

    Imanaga (9-6) earned the win Tuesday against Atlanta, allowing three runs on five hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out two.

    While he fell one strikeout shy of tying his season-low output, Imanaga extended his streak of quality starts to six. The left-hander has permitted more than three runs on just three occasions in 21 starts this season and has pitched at least five frames in all but two outings. Imanaga sports a 3.15 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 97:23 K:BB over 123 innings, and he'll be trying to add to his streak of quality starts in a rematch with Atlanta early next week.

  • Luis Severino SP | ATH

    Athletics' Luis Severino: Sharp in return Tuesday

    Severino took a no-decision Tuesday against the Cardinals, allowing three hits and one walk in five scoreless innings. He struck out four.

    Severino was likely working with a workload restriction in his first start since Aug. 5, although that didn't prevent him from delivering his first scoreless outing since May 17. The three hits allowed also matched a season best, and the veteran right-hander has now tossed at least five frames while yielding two runs or fewer in four of his last five appearances. Severino has a 4.65 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 107:45 K:BB over 141.1 innings, and he'll be looking to increase his pitch count next week against the Red Sox.

  • Miles Mikolas SP | STL

    Cardinals' Miles Mikolas: Holds Athletics in check in win

    Mikolas (7-10) earned the win Tuesday against the Athletics, allowing one run on five hits and one walk with no strikeouts in six innings.

    Despite the season-low zero strikeouts, it was still one of Mikolas' finer performances of the year. It was his eighth quality start in 2025, and it also marked his ninth time surrendering one earned run or zero this season. Mikolas will be trying to build on Tuesday's performance when he takes a 4.89 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 86:33 K:BB over 136.1 innings into his next outing, which is slated for next week against the Mariners at pitcher-friendly T-Mobile Park.

  • Chris Paddack SP | DET

    Tigers' Chris Paddack: Going on bereavement leave

    The Tigers will place Paddack on the bereavement list Wednesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Paddack will be away from the team for at least three days following a death in his family. Earlier Tuesday, the Tigers announced that Paddack had been demoted to the bullpen, and the right-hander was put to work right away. He retired just four of the 13 batters he faced in the Tigers' 12-5 loss to the Mets, allowing six earned runs on eight hits.

  • Kyle Freeland SP | COL

    Rockies' Kyle Freeland: Ejected early Tuesday

    Freeland was ejected from Tuesday's game against the Giants after benches cleared during the first inning, Suzie Hunter of GuerillaSports.net reports.

    Freeland's day came to an abrupt end after throwing just eight pitches and giving up a two-run homer to Rafael Devers without recording an out. The two players got into a heated exchange while Devers rounded the bases, which prompted a bench-clearing brawl that also led to ejections for Matt Chapman and Willy Adames. Freeland will carry a 5.41 ERA and 1.52 WHIP into his next start, and it remains to be seen whether he will receive further discipline from Major League Baseball.
