  • Jarlin Susana SP | WAS

    Nationals' Jarlin Susana: Diagnosed with lat strain

    Susana has been diagnosed with a right lat strain, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

    Susana had to be removed from his last start at Double-A Harrisburg with the injury. He will meet with the Nationals' medical staff soon to discuss his options, but the injury will likely prevent Susana from pitching again this season. The 21-year-old has collected a 3.51 ERA and 95:34 K:BB over 56.1 innings covering 14 starts between High-A Wilmington and Harrisburg in 2025. Susana previously missed time this season due to a sprained elbow.

  • Josiah Gray SP | WAS

    Nationals' Josiah Gray: To begin rehab assignment

    Gray (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Wilmington on Sunday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

    Gray is slated to throw two innings or 35 pitches during Sunday's outing, his first game action since undergoing Tommy John surgery with an internal brace in July of 2024. Considering the lengthy layoff, Gray will require several rehab starts before being cleared to come off the injured list. Still, the 27-year-old has a chance to pitch for the Nationals before the 2025 season ends.

  • Tyler Mahle SP | SF

    Rangers' Tyler Mahle: Felt fine following rehab outing

    Texas manager Bruce Bochy said Wednesday that Mahle (shoulder) "felt fine" after Tuesday's rehab outing, MLB.com reports.

    Mahle was knocked around for five runs on five hits and a walk and reached his pitch limit before retiring a batter in the second inning. The Rangers had hoped Mahle could rejoin the pitching staff following the outing, but the manager is awaiting additional information before making any further determination on next steps for the right-hander.

  • Taj Bradley SP | MIN

    Twins' Taj Bradley: Strikes out seven in no-decision

    Bradley allowed four runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out seven over five innings in a no-decision versus the White Sox on Thursday.

    Bradley had a strong showing against the Padres in his last outing, but the White Sox still gave him trouble. His last start with the Rays also came against the Southsiders, as did his Twins debut. In those three games, he's given up 15 runs across 11.2 innings. He's had some struggles against non-playoff teams, particularly the Orioles and Marlins in addition to the White Sox, while finding success against stronger teams. Overall this year, Bradley's 4.92 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 109:49 K:BB over 126.1 innings offer tepid confidence at the best of times. It's possible he'll lose his starting role with Pablo Lopez (shoulder) returning Friday -- the last spot in the rotation is likely to come down to Bradley or Simeon Woods Richardson.

  • White Sox's Jonathan Cannon: Rocked in bulk-relief outing

    Cannon allowed five runs on five hits and two walks while striking out two over 2.1 innings versus the Twins on Thursday. He did not factor in the decision.

    Cannon pitched out of the bullpen, following 1.1 scoreless innings from opener Fraser Ellard. Cannon's struggles mostly came in the fourth inning, but the White Sox were ultimately able to persevere and went on to win 11-8. The right-hander's 2025 had some promising moments in the first half, but he's now allowed 25 runs (24 earned) over 21.1 innings across his last five appearances. Overall, Cannon has a 4.22 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 78:37 K:BB through 98.1 innings across 20 appearances (17 starts).

  • Astros' Cristian Javier: Back to struggles versus Yankees

    Javier (1-2) allowed four runs on six hits and three walks while striking out four over 4.1 innings to take the loss versus the Yankees on Thursday.

    Javier threw six no-hit innings versus the Angels in his last start, but he wasn't able to replicate the effort against a tougher opponent. He gave up one run in the second inning and then ran into significant trouble before he was pulled in the fifth. Javier is now at a 4.43 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 20:12 K:BB through 20.1 innings over five starts since returning from Tommy John surgery, which may explain his shaky control, though he's never been particularly dominant at limiting walks anyway. Javier is lined up for a challenging road start versus the Blue Jays next week.

  • Carlos Rodon SP | NYY

    Yankees' Carlos Rodon: Win streak up to five starts

    Rodon (16-7) allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits and two walks while striking out three over six innings to earn the win over the Astros on Thursday.

    Rodon was stingy with baserunners but still had to empty the tank with 109 pitches (69 strikes). This was his fifth straight win and his fourth quality start in that span, during which he has allowed a total of eight runs (seven earned) across 30.2 innings. The southpaw is now at a 3.12 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 180:69 K:BB over 170.1 innings through 29 starts this season. Rodon will look to keep rolling in a tough home start versus the Tigers next week.

  • Kyle Hendricks SP | LAA

    Angels' Kyle Hendricks: Limits damage in no-decision

    Hendricks allowed two runs on three hits and three walks while failing to record a strikeout over six innings to take a no-decision versus the Royals on Thursday.

    Hendricks was able to limit the damage, as both runs on his line came on solo home runs. He's posted consecutive quality starts for the first time since mid-June, but he's now gone seven outings without a win. In that span, he's allowed 20 runs over 35.2 innings while posting a 19:14 K:BB. Hendricks has subpar numbers overall with a 4.81 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 89:40 K:BB through 142.1 innings across 27 starts. His next outing is projected to be at home versus the Twins.

  • Royals' Noah Cameron: Shaky in no-decision

    Cameron allowed three runs on five hits and five walks while striking out five over five innings in a no-decision versus the Angels on Thursday.

    Cameron initially wasn't expected to pitch versus the Angels, but he got the call for Thursday after Seth Lugo (back) was placed on the injured list. Cameron has been battling fatigue recently, but with Lugo joining Cole Ragans (shoulder) and Kris Bubic (shoulder) on the injured list, Cameron will likely need to stay in the rotation in September. He's allowed four or more runs in four of his eight starts since the All-Star break. He also matched his season high in walks Thursday, which he hadn't done since his big-league debut April 30 versus the Rays. Cameron has still been positive overall with a 3.03 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 88:36 K:BB across 113 innings through 20 starts, but it's clear his career-high workload across all levels is taking a toll. Assuming the Royals don't build in extra rest for the 26-year-old, he is projected to make his next start on the road in Cleveland.

  • Guardians' Logan Allen: Fans four in 11th loss

    Allen (7-11) took the loss Thursday against the Rays, allowing three runs (two earned) on six hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out four.

    Allen was able to keep a hot Rays lineup in check, and one of his runs went unearned due to a Gabriel Arias throwing error in the first inning. The southpaw has been a steady presence in the Cleveland rotation for most of the season, as he's now gone at least five innings in all but one of his 16 outings since the beginning of June. While Allen holds a lackluster 4.43 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 109:59 K:BB across a career-high 139.1 innings, he may warrant some streaming appeal next week against a Royals club with a .659 OPS versus left-handed pitching since the All-Star break.
