  • Brewers' Robert Gasser: Completes eighth rehab start

    Gasser (elbow) struck out four batters and allowed two earned runs on three hits and two walks across 4.2 innings in a rehab start Sunday with Triple-A Nashville.

    Gasser has now made eight starts in the minors since beginning his rehab assignment July 19 in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League. Though pitchers are typically allotted just 30 days of rehab time in the minors while on the injured list, pitchers like Gasser who are returning from Tommy John surgery are eligible for up to three consecutive 10-day extensions, and the Brewers appear to have taken advantage of that rule to give the right-hander some additional ramp-up time. Since shifting his assignment to Nashville on Aug. 8, Gasser has turned in a 1.98 ERA over 13.2 innings in four starts, but his other ratios (1.32 WHIP, 12:6 K:BB) aren't quite as shiny. Milwaukee will likely continue to allow Gasser to work as a starter during his rehab assignment, but if he rejoins the big club over the final five weeks of the season, he would presumably work out of the bullpen, unless injuries test the organization's starting depth.

  • Chad Patrick P | MIL

    Brewers' Chad Patrick: Sent down to Triple-A

    The Brewers optioned Patrick to Triple-A Nashville on Monday.

    Patrick was called up to start the Brewers' series finale versus the Giants on Sunday, when he came away with the no-decision in a 4-3 loss after allowing two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out seven across 5.1 innings. Though the right-hander will head back to Triple-A, he could be a candidate to make additional starts for the Brewers in September if the team loses another rotation member to an injury.

  • Tobias Myers RP | NYM

    Brewers' Tobias Myers: Rejoins big-league bullpen

    The Brewers recalled Myers from Triple-A Nashville on Monday.

    Myers has allowed just one unearned run with a 10:0 K:BB over 10 innings during his six relief outings in the majors this season. He will be deployed as a multi-inning reliever with the Brewers.

  • Tyler Anderson SP | LAA

    Angels' Tyler Anderson: Goes on paternity leave

    The Angels placed Anderson on the paternity list Monday.

    Anderson is currently slated to start Wednesday's game against the Rangers, but it's not clear whether he will still take the ball that day or get pushed back in the pitching schedule as he welcomes a new baby. The lefty is winless over his last 21 starts, posting a 5.25 ERA over that stretch.

  • Tylor Megill SP | NYM

    Mets' Tylor Megill: Making another rehab start

    Megill (elbow) will make another rehab start with Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

    The Mets had left open the possibility that Megill would return from the 60-day injured list and rejoin their rotation Friday against the Marlins, but they've elected to give the right-hander one more rehab start in order to extend his pitch count to around 80. Working his way back from a sprained UCL in his right elbow, Megill has been superb in three rehab outings between Syracuse and Double-A Binghamton, spinning 10 scoreless frames with a 17:2 K:BB.

  • Ryan Weathers SP | NYY

    Marlins' Ryan Weathers: Making rehab start Saturday

    Weathers (lat) is expected to make a three-inning rehab start Saturday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

    If all goes well Saturday, Weathers is expected to make another start in the minors after that before returning from the 60-day injured list and slotting back into the Miami rotation before the middle of September. Weathers has been on the shelf since early June due to a strained left lat. The southpaw has been limited to just five starts for the Marlins this season but has collected a 3.28 ERA and 23:8 K:BB across 24.2 innings.

  • Frankie Montas RP | NYM

    Mets' Frankie Montas: Shifted to 60-day injured list

    The Mets transferred Montas (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.

    The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for left-hander Jose Castillo, who was called up from Triple-A Syracuse. Montas has already been ruled out for the season with an injured UCL in his right elbow that could require Tommy John surgery.

  • Giants' Carson Whisenhunt: Remaining in rotation

    Whisenhunt is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Cubs at Oracle Park.

    Optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Aug. 12 after turning in a 5.02 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 12:7 K:BB in 14.1 innings through his first three MLB starts, Whisenhunt received a call back to the Giants less than two weeks later when an injury to Landen Roupp (knee) reopened a spot in the rotation. Whisenhunt took the hill Friday in Milwaukee and kept the Brewers off the board through the first three frames, but he struggled in his second turn through the batting order and was ultimately tagged for two earned runs on four hits, two walks and one hit batsman across four innings before being lifted from the contest. Despite Whisenhunt's poor numbers in the big leagues to date, he'll receive at least one more start while the Giants are short on quality alternatives at Triple-A to replace him in the rotation.

  • Kyle Bradish SP | BAL

    Orioles' Kyle Bradish: Season debut set for Tuesday

    The Orioles confirmed that Bradish (elbow) will be activated from the 60-day injured list to start Tuesday's against the Red Sox at Camden Yards, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    As anticipated, Bradish will slot back into the Baltimore rotation this week to make his first appearance for the big club since June 14, 2024, which came less than a week before he required Tommy John surgery with an internal brace. After a lengthy recovery and buildup process, the righty was cleared to begin a rehab assignment shortly after the All-Star break, and though he produced underwhelming numbers overall across his six starts in the minors (4.91 ERA, 1.41 WHIP in 22 innings), he was sharper over his final two appearances at Triple-A Norfolk (2.79 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, 12:4 K:BB in 9.2 innings). Bradish tossed 89 pitches in his most recent outing with Norfolk this past Wednesday, so he shouldn't be operating with much of a workload restriction in his 2025 debut for Baltimore.

  • Ryan Gusto P | MIA

    Marlins' Ryan Gusto: Receiving another start

    Gusto is listed as the Marlins' probable starting pitcher for Wednesday's game against Atlanta in Miami.

    Gusto got the call back to the big leagues Friday when a spot in the Miami rotation opened up, but the right-hander floundered in his start against the Blue Jays, covering six innings but allowing five earned runs on seven hits and one walk while failing to strike out a batter. Despite the poor showing, Gusto will receive another turn through the rotation, but he'll be a prime candidate to move to the bullpen or head back to Triple-A Jacksonville once Ryan Weathers (lat) is reinstated from the 60-day injured list at some point in September.
