  • Slade Cecconi SP | CLE

    Guardians' Slade Cecconi: Earns quality start

    Cecconi didn't factor into the decision against the Rangers on Friday, allowing two runs on four hits while striking out three over six innings. He did not issue a walk.

    Both runs Cecconi surrendered came via the long ball, as Rowdy Tellez took him deep in the fifth inning and Wyatt Langford followed with a solo shot in the sixth. Home runs have been a consistent issue for Cecconi, who has now surrendered 19 homers across 96 innings this season. Despite the flaw, the right-hander has provided steady innings for Cleveland, and will carry a 4.41 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 79:26 K:BB into his next scheduled outing against the Rays.

  • Miles Mikolas SP | WAS

    Cardinals' Miles Mikolas: Chased early in 10th loss

    Mikolas (6-10) took the loss Friday against the Rays, allowing five runs (four earned) on 10 hits and one walk in 2.2 innings. He struck out one.

    Mikolas matched his shortest outing of the season, and it was the third time this year that he yielded double-digit hits. Additionally, it was the seventh instance in 2025 in which the veteran right-hander punched out a lone batter. While Mikolas has a lackluster 5.17 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 81:31 K:BB across 125.1 innings, he might carry a shred of streaming appeal in deeper formats next week in a favorable home matchup versus the last-place Pirates.

  • Nolan McLean SP | NYM

    Mets' Nolan McLean: Impressive again in second win

    McLean (2-0) earned the win Friday against Atlanta, allowing two runs on four hits and no walks in seven innings. He struck out seven.

    After impressing with 5.1 scoreless innings in his major-league debut, McLean shined once again Friday against a dangerous Atlanta lineup. The rookie right-hander fanned at least seven in his second straight outing, and he eliminated the walks altogether after handing out four free passes in his first big-league appearance. McLean has now yielded just two runs over his first 12.1 innings to go with a 15:4 K:BB, though he's set to draw a tough test at home versus the first-place Phillies next week.

  • Nathan Eovaldi SP | TEX

    Rangers' Nathan Eovaldi: Fans nine during quality start

    Eovaldi didn't factor into the decision against the Guardians on Friday, allowing one run on four hits while striking out nine over seven innings.

    The right-hander's lone blemish came on a second-inning RBI double by C.J. Kayfus, but he was otherwise dominant, tying his season high with nine punchouts. Eovaldi has now gone at least seven innings in five of his last seven outings, posting a 1.93 ERA and a stellar 43:8 K:BB across 46.2 innings during that stretch. The 35-year-old will carry this strong form into his next scheduled start against the Angels.

  • Royals' Ryan Bergert: Solid in no-decision

    Bergert did not factor into the decision in Friday's 7-5 loss to the Tigers, allowing two runs on three hits and one walk with five strikeouts over 5.2 innings.

    Bergert generated 12 whiffs on 90 pitches and left with a 3-1 lead before Angel Zerpa immediately allowed a game-tying homer. The 25-year-old has impressed in four starts with the Royals, pitching into the sixth inning and yielding two earned runs or fewer in each outing. He'll carry a 2.79 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 56:24 K:BB across 58 innings this season into a road matchup with the White Sox next week.

  • Casey Mize SP | DET

    Tigers' Casey Mize: Fails to record strikeout Friday

    Mize did not factor into the decision in Friday's 7-5 win over the Royals, allowing three runs on nine hits and one walk without recording a strikeout over 5.2 innings.

    Mize was undone by a three-run third inning and was fortunate overall given he yielded 14 hard-hit balls while managing just three whiffs on 87 pitches. It was a letdown after the 28-year-old notched a season-high 10 punchouts Saturday, and he now sports a 5.34 ERA across six outings since the All-Star break. For the season, he carries a 3.68 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 103:30 K:BB over 117.1 innings and lines up for a road matchup with the Athletics next week.

  • Max Fried SP | NYY

    Yankees' Max Fried: Gets back on track Friday

    Fried did not factor into the decision in Friday's 1-0 loss to the Red Sox, allowing four hits and three walks with seven strikeouts over six scoreless innings.

    Fried racked up 19 whiffs on 99 pitches but got no help from the Yankees' offense. It was just his second quality start in six outings since the All-Star break. The southpaw will take a 3.14 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 148:40 K:BB across 155 innings into a home matchup with the Nationals next week.

  • Brayan Bello SP | BOS

    Red Sox's Brayan Bello: Goes seven scoreless for 10th win

    Bello (10-6) earned the win against the Yankees on Friday, allowing three hits and one walk while striking out five over seven scoreless innings.

    Bello managed just seven whiffs on 92 pitches but limited hard contact and outlasted Max Fried to notch his fourth win in his past five outings. Over that stretch, the 26-year-old has logged four quality starts, allowing only three earned runs across his victories while being tagged for five in his lone loss. He'll carry a 3.07 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 102:46 K:BB through 135 innings into a road matchup with the Orioles next week.

  • Ryan Gusto P | MIA

    Marlins' Ryan Gusto: Hit hard in loss

    Gusto (7-6) took the loss against the Blue Jays on Friday, allowing five runs on seven hits and one walk over six innings. He did not record a strikeout.

    Gusto battled through six innings after giving up three runs in the first, but he managed just six whiffs on 90 pitches and allowed 11 hard-hit balls. It was also the first time in 16 starts this year that the 26-year-old failed to record a strikeout. He'll take a 5.05 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 95:31 K:BB across 98 innings between starting duty and relief work into a home matchup with Atlanta next week.

  • Shane Bieber SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Shane Bieber: Dazzles in return

    Bieber (1-0) earned the win against the Marlins on Friday, allowing one run on two hits and no walks with nine strikeouts over six innings.

    Bieber gave up a solo shot to Javier Sanoja in the third inning but was otherwise sharp in his first major-league start since last April. The 30-year-old tossed 55 of 87 pitches for strikes and racked up 15 whiffs, highlighted by seven on his slider. He looks fully healthy after a lengthy rehab stint and is lined up for a home matchup with the Twins next week.
