  • Brady Singer SP | CIN

    Reds' Brady Singer: Fans nine in no-decision

    Singer did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 6-1 win at Arizona. He allowed one run on a hit and three walks over six innings with nine strikeouts.

    The 29-year-old notched his fifth quality start out of his last six appearances, as he struck out nine or more batters for the fourth time this season. The lone blemish on Singer's line came via a Lourdes Gurriel sacrifice fly in the first, with the only base knock allowed being a Geraldo Perdomo triple to open the frame. Over his last six outings, Singer has looked like an ace, going 4-1 with a 1.80 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 39:10 K:BB across 35 innings. The Cincinnati right-hander will look to continue his recent run of success in his next start, which is currently scheduled to come in his team's upcoming weekend series at home against St. Louis.

  • Zac Gallen SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Zac Gallen: Quality start in no-decision

    Gallen allowed one run on four hits and one walk over six innings while not factoring into the decision in Sunday's 6-1 loss to the Reds. He struck out seven.

    The Arizona right-hander impressed over this 95-pitch outing, as he tallied a quality start for the fourth time out of his last five appearances. The only blemish on Gallen's line came in the sixth when Noelvi Marte lashed a run-scoring triple -- the only extra-base knock Gallen conceded. Despite an ugly 5.13 ERA and 1.31 WHIP across 156 total innings, the 30-year-old has pitched better since the All-Star break, producing a 4.39 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 31:8 K:BB over 41 frames. Gallen lines up for a difficult test in his next start, which currently lines up to come on the road against the Dodgers next weekend.

  • Kevin Gausman SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Kevin Gausman: One rough inning in loss

    Gausman (8-10) took the loss against the Marlins on Sunday, allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk with seven strikeouts over six innings.

    Gausman was locked in a pitcher's duel with Eury Perez before giving up a bases-loaded triple in the fifth. It marked only the second time in seven outings since the All-Star break that the 34-year-old allowed more than two earned runs, a stretch that includes four quality starts and a 3.07 ERA. He'll carry a 3.87 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 149:43 K:BB across 153.2 innings this season into a home matchup with the Brewers next weekend.

  • Eury Perez SP | MIA

    Marlins' Eury Perez: Logs quality start in win

    Perez (6-3) earned the win against the Blue Jays on Sunday, allowing two runs on three hits and one walk with four strikeouts over six innings.

    Perez cruised through six scoreless innings before the first two batters he faced in the seventh reached base and scored on a homer allowed by Lake Bachar. Perez generated 18 swinging strikes on 94 pitches, completing six frames for just the second time in seven outings since the All-Star break. He'll take a 3.44 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 70:25 K:BB across 70.2 innings into a road matchup with the Mets next weekend.

  • Kyle Hendricks SP | LAA

    Angels' Kyle Hendricks: Saddled with ninth loss

    Hendricks (6-9) took the loss Sunday against the Cubs, allowing four runs on five hits and three walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out two.

    The Angels right-hander conceded three or more free passes for the sixth time this season in his first ever appearance against his former club. Hendricks limited the Chicago lineup -- yielding two doubles and three singles -- but wound up being tagged with three or more runs for the third consecutive outing. The 35-year-old remains difficult to roster in fantasy thanks to a 5.04 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 87:37 K:BB over 130.1 total frames while giving up 21 homers. Hendricks is currently in line to make his next start at Houston next weekend.

  • David Peterson SP | NYM

    Mets' David Peterson: Stumbles late in no-decision

    Peterson did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 4-3 loss to Atlanta, allowing two runs on five hits and four walks with eight strikeouts over 5.2 innings.

    Peterson cruised through five innings before allowing four baserunners and two runs in the sixth. The southpaw piled up 20 whiffs on 98 pitches and has now delivered back-to-back solid outings after being tagged for six runs by Atlanta on Aug. 13. He'll take a 3.18 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 135:55 K:BB across 150 innings into a home matchup with the Marlins next weekend.

  • Bryce Elder SP | ATL

    Braves' Bryce Elder: Logs quality start in no-decision

    Elder did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Mets, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks with six strikeouts over six innings.

    Elder surrendered a two-run homer in the second inning but bounced back with four scoreless frames to close out his outing. The 26-year-old has been inconsistent in August, logging three quality starts while giving up 13 runs across his other two appearances. He'll take a 6.12 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 96:45 K:BB over 117.2 innings into a road matchup with the Phillies next weekend.

  • Merrill Kelly SP | ARI

    Rangers' Merrill Kelly: Cruises to 10th win

    Kelly (10-7) tossed seven scoreless frames while allowing four hits and two walks to pick up the win Sunday against the Guardians. He struck out eight.

    The veteran righty was masterful in this 96-pitch appearance to notch his third consecutive quality start, as he limited the Cleveland lineup to just four singles. Kelly has been dependable since joining the Rangers at the trade deadline, pitching to a 3.10 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 26:8 K:BB across 29 frames. In 157.2 total innings with Texas and Arizona, the 36-year-old now sports a 3.20 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 147:46 K:BB while tallying 16 quality starts. The free-agent-to-be is currently scheduled to make his next start on the road at the Athletics next weekend.

  • Noah Schultz SP | CHW

    White Sox's Noah Schultz: Returns from 7-day IL

    Schultz (knee) struck out four and allowed one unearned run on two hits in his two-inning start Sunday after being activated from the 7-day injured list.

    Schultz hadn't pitched for Charlotte since July 3 due to a right knee injury before he was cleared to slot into the Triple-A rotation Sunday, albeit on a restricted pitch count. The right-hander is regarded as one of the White Sox's top pitching prospects, but he's struggled thus far through his first outings with Charlotte, delivering a 10.13 ERA, 2.10 WHIP and 17:8 K:BB in 13.1 innings.

  • Aldrin Batista SP | CHW

    White Sox's Aldrin Batista: Makes return from IL

    Batista (elbow) has struck out three batters and has allowed three runs (two earned) on three hits and two walks across four innings over two relief appearances since being reinstated from High-A Winston-Salem's 7-day injured list Tuesday.

    Though Batista has picked up wins in both of his outings since making his return from a stress fracture of his right elbow, he's struggled to regain his control following a four-plus-month layoff from game action. In addition to issuing two walks, Batista has also hit three batters in four innings.
