  • Austin Gomber SP | TEX

    Rockies' Austin Gomber: Posts quality start Tuesday

    Gomber did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's loss to the Diamondbacks, allowing two runs on six hits and a walk while striking out four over six innings.

    Both runs against Gomber came in the third inning when he gave up a pair of singles and a double sandwiched around two groundouts. Gomber had given up a home run in each of his last seven starts but was able to keep the ball in the park Tuesday night and notched just his second quality start over his last six outings. The 30-year-old lefty now owns a 4.82 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 89:30 K:BB in 125 innings and lines up to face the Nationals on the road next week.

  • Diamondbacks' Eduardo Rodriguez: Five strikeouts Tuesday

    Rodriguez did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's win over the Rockies, allowing three runs on six hits and a walk while striking out five over five innings.

    Rodriguez got through the first inning on just seven pitches but couldn't replicate the same success in the next two frames. The Rockies would string together all six of their hits against Rodriguez in the second and third, leading to three runs. The left-hander was able to settle back in and retire the last seven batters he faced before his day was done after throwing 83 pitches. He's now given up three runs in both starts since returning from a long-term absence due to a shoulder injury, though Tuesday he was able to keep the ball in the park and upped his strikeouts numbers while generating 11 whiffs. He's at a 5.06 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 6:3 K:BB in 10.2 innings and lines up to face the Marlins in a start next week.

  • Andrew Morris RP | MIN

    Twins' Andrew Morris: Promoted to Triple-A

    Morris gave up one earned run over six innings with two strikeouts and one walk Tuesday for St. Paul after being promoted to Triple-A.

    Morris had a 1.90 ERA in 61.2 innings with a 63:14 K:BB at Double-A Wichita after being promoted from High-A in May. A strong final month at Triple-A could have him contending for a spot in the majors next spring.

  • Kevin Gausman SP | CHC

    Blue Jays' Kevin Gausman: Cruises to win

    Gausman (11-8) allowed six hits and two walks while striking out five over seven scoreless innings to earn the win Tuesday over the Angels.

    Gausman has pitched into the seventh inning in five of his last six starts, but this was his most impressive outing in that span. While he's walked multiple batters in five straight starts, he hasn't lost since July 5. The right-hander trimmed his ERA to 4.20 with a 1.26 WHIP and 126:41 K:BB through 139.1 innings over 24 starts this season. His next outing is projected to be at home versus the Reds.

  • Will Warren SP | NYY

    Yankees' Will Warren: Promotion coming Wednesday

    Warren will be recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to start Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.

    Although Warren was lit up for eight earned runs in just 4.1 innings during his second MLB start against the Angels last Wednesday before being returned to Triple-A, the Yankees will turn to him again to get them through the series finale. In addition to his poor big-league performance, the 25-year-old righty owns a 6.11 ERA and 1.41 WHIP through 95.2 innings in Triple-A. He will have the benefit of facing the worst offense in the majors, but he is still not a recommended streaming option. The Yankees are likely to send Warren back to Triple-A following Wednesday's contest.

  • Nestor Cortes SP | PHI

    Yankees' Nestor Cortes: No trouble versus White Sox

    Cortes (6-10) allowed three hits and struck out nine without walking a batter over seven scoreless innings to earn the win Tuesday over the White Sox.

    Cortes had given up at least three runs in each of his five previous starts, but a matchup with the Pale Hose proved to be just what he needed to have a good outing. The nine strikeouts matched his season high, and this was the first time since June 23 that he was able to avoid issuing a walk. Cortes is now at a 4.20 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 133:29 K:BB through 141.1 innings over 25 starts this season. He'll look to build off this start in his next outing, which is tentatively expected to be at home versus the Guardians.

  • White Sox's Jonathan Cannon: Back in loss column Tuesday

    Cannon (2-6) allowed three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out four over 4.2 innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Yankees.

    Cannon was responsible for two of the three home runs Juan Soto hit in this contest. It was the first time since June 29 that Cannon has given up multiple homers, and the three runs allowed were his most in four outings. He's now at a 4.02 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 55:23 K:BB through 80.2 innings over 15 appearances (13 starts). He's tentatively scheduled to make his next start on the road in San Francisco.

  • Colin Rea SP | CHC

    Brewers' Colin Rea: Rocked by Dodgers

    Rea (10-4) allowed seven runs on 10 hits and struck out four without walking a batter over six innings, taking the loss Tuesday versus the Dodgers.

    Rea was no match for a strong offense, as the Dodgers tagged him for four home runs, which accounted for six of the seven runs he gave up. The silver lining was the zero walks, something he hadn't done since July 3. The right-hander is now at a 3.72 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 103:36 K:BB over 128.1 innings across 23 appearances (20 starts) this season. Rea's next outing is projected to be at home versus the Guardians.

  • Shane Baz SP | BAL

    Rays' Shane Baz: Goes seven innings in loss

    Baz (0-2) took the loss Tuesday against the Astros, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks over seven innings. He struck out six.

    While he ultimately came away with the loss Tuesday, it was a solid outing from Baz, who delivered a season-high seven innings after he was tagged for four runs in just 4.1 frames against the Cardinals in his last start. The 25-year-old Baz now has a 4.21 ERA with a 1.43 WHIP and 32:14 K:BB through his first 36.1 innings this season. He's currently slated to face the A's on the road early next week in his next start.

  • Landon Knack RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Landon Knack: Picks up four-inning save

    Knack allowed a run on three hits and struck out two without walking a batter over four innings to earn the save in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Brewers.

    This was Knack's first appearance since he was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday. He delivered a strong relief outing and spared the rest of the Dodgers' bullpen in the process to earn his first career save. For the year, Knack has maintained a 3.00 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 44:12 K:BB through 48 innings over 10 appearances. While Knack has generally been impressive, Walker Buehler's return Wednesday from a hip injury will fill the rotation spot vacated by River Ryan (elbow). Considering Knack also threw 64 pitches in Tuesday's contest, he could be the corresponding move to clear a 26-man roster spot for Buehler.
