Brandon Woodruff SP | MIL
Brewers' Brandon Woodruff: Pushed back in schedule
Woodruff is expected to make his next start Monday versus the Diamondbacks, Sophia Minnaert of FanDuel Sports Network Wisconsin reports.
Woodruff was available on four days' rest to start Sunday's series finale versus the Giants, but because he's received at least five days of rest ahead of all but one of his eight starts since being activated from the 60-day injured list July 6, the Brewers apparently aren't keen on deviating from that plan. He'll tentatively line up for two starts during the upcoming week, with his second outing likely to come next weekend in Toronto.

Jacob deGrom SP | TEX
Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Completes bullpen session
DeGrom (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Saturday and isn't expected to miss another start, MLB.com reports.
DeGrom skipped his previously scheduled start due to shoulder discomfort, which the team attributed more to workload than a legitimate injury. He's already tossed 140.1 innings this season, his most since 2019. DeGrom is tentatively expected to take the mound Monday at home against the Angels.

Taj Bradley SP | MIN
Twins' Taj Bradley: Called up to start Sunday
The Twins recalled Bradley from Triple-A St. Paul ahead of his scheduled start Sunday against the White Sox in Chicago.
Bradley will be making his Twins debut Sunday, three and a half weeks after he was acquired from the Rays. The 24-year-old righty has made three starts for St. Paul, turning in a bloated 7.53 ERA and 1.63 WHIP but a more promising 18:2 K:BB in 14.1 innings. Bradley has shown the ability to make bats miss at a prolific clip over parts of three seasons in the majors, though he took a big step back in that regard during his time with the Rays in 2025, with his strikeout rate dropping to a career-low 20.2 percent in 21 big-league starts.

Erick Fedde SP | CHW
Erick Fedde: Cut loose by Atlanta
Atlanta released Fedde on Sunday.
After losing his spot in the rotation, the veteran right-hander handled mop-up duty in Friday's 12-7 loss to the Mets, giving up six runs across 4.1 innings. It's a fitting end to Fedde's time in Atlanta, and he finished his run for the team with an 8.10 ERA, 1.84 WHIP and 13:13 K:BB across 23.1 innings.

McCade Brown P | COL
Rockies' McCade Brown: Called up ahead of MLB debut
The Rockies selected Brown's contract from Double-A Hartford ahead of his scheduled start Sunday in Pittsburgh.
The 25-year-old right-hander will bypass the Triple-A level to make his MLB debut, taking over the rotation spot that belonged to Austin Gomber. Brown had his development stalled after undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2023, but he's enjoyed good health in 2025 and has accrued a 2.47 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 105:30 K:BB in 76.2 innings between Hartford and High-A Spokane. Though he'll benefit from a debut in a pitcher-friendly venue against a weak Pirates lineup, Brown's lack of high-level experience renders him a risky streaming option, even in NL-only leagues.

Taj Bradley SP | MIN
Twins' Taj Bradley: Drawing start Sunday
The Twins will recall Bradley from Triple-A St. Paul to start Sunday's game against the White Sox in Chicago.
The transaction will likely be officially announced a few hours prior to the game's 2:10 p.m. ET start time. Bradley will become the second trade-deadline pickup the Twins will have added to the big-league rotation this weekend, as Mick Abel was called up from St. Paul to start in Saturday's 7-3 loss. Bradley -- who owns a 7.53 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 18:2 K:BB in 14.1 innings at St. Paul since being acquired from the Rays on July 31 -- could be in line for multiple turns through the rotation while the Twins wait for Pablo Lopez (shoulder) and Simeon Woods Richardson (illness) to return from the injured list.

Aaron Nola SP | PHI
Phillies' Aaron Nola: Back in win column
Nola (2-7) picked up the win in Saturday's 6-4 victory over the Nationals, giving up three runs (two earned) on five hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out six.
The veteran right-hander shut down the Washington offense for four frames before beginning to fade, and he served up solo shots to CJ Abrams and Luis Garcia in the sixth inning. Nola left the mound after 97 pitches (64 strikes) and ended with his first win, and first quality start, since May 3, having missed three months over the summer with ankle and rib injuries. He'll look to build on this performance in his next outing, which is scheduled to come at home next week against Atlanta.

Mitchell Parker SP | WAS
Nationals' Mitchell Parker: Lit up again Saturday
Parker (7-14) took the loss Saturday, coughing up six runs on six hits and a walk over five innings as the Nationals were downed 6-4 by the Phillies. He struck out three.
The left-hander kept Philly off the board for three innings before crumbling, and he got the hook after 103 pitches (68 strikes). Parker was hit hard once again, as four of the six hits he gave up went for extra bases, including homers by Edmundo Sosa and Trea Turner. Parker is 0-4 over his last five starts, a stretch in which he's produced a 12.00 ERA, 1.95 WHIP, 3.0 HR/9 and 13:11 K:BB over 21 innings. Despite those ghastly numbers, the Nats haven't provided any hints that his rotation spot is in jeopardy. He'll try to turn things around in his next outing, which lines up to come at home next weekend against the Rays.

George Kirby SP | SEA
Mariners' George Kirby: Rebounds with quality start
Kirby allowed one run on four hits and three walks while striking out three over six innings in a no-decision versus the Athletics on Saturday.
Kirby struggled against the Mets in the Little League Classic last weekend, but he rebounded well with a quality start in this outing. His usually impeccable control hasn't been present lately -- Kirby has walked multiple batters in six of his last eight starts, though he's still turned in five quality starts in that span. For the season, he's at a 4.05 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 97:26 K:BB through 95.2 innings over 17 starts. He's projected to next take the mound in Cleveland.

Jeffrey Springs SP | ATH
Athletics' Jeffrey Springs: Fine effort in no-decision
Springs allowed one run on two hits and two walks while striking out three over 5.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Saturday.
Springs allowed nine runs over eight innings across his previous two starts, so this was a good bounce-back effort. The southpaw has had Seattle's number all year, allowing just four runs over 22.1 innings across his four games versus the Athletics' division rivals. He threw 47 of 74 pitches for strikes in this outing. Springs has also allowed a home run in six straight starts after giving up a solo shot to Randy Arozarena. On the year, Springs has a 4.15 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 117:46 K:BB through 145.1 innings across 27 outings (25 starts). He is projected for a home start versus the Rangers in his next outing.
