  • Jose Quintana SP | COL

    Brewers' Jose Quintana: Logs another quality start

    Quintana did not factor into Sunday's decision against the Reds, allowing one run on five hits and one walk while striking out four across 6.1 innings.

    Despite yielding just one run on a Jose Trevino sacrifice fly in the seventh inning, Quintana was on the hook for the loss until William Contreras blasted a two-run homer in the ninth. Quintana has logged three straight quality starts and is up to eight on the season. He has a 3.41 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 25:6 K:BB in 34.1 innings across his six starts since the All-Star break. Quintana is lined up to face the Giants at home next weekend.

  • Jose Soriano RP | LAA

    Angels' Jose Soriano: Ineffective in no-decision

    Soriano did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 11-5 extra-inning win against the Athletics. He allowed five runs on eight hits and one walk over 5.2 innings with five strikeouts.

    The Los Angeles right-hander coughed up a season-worst three long balls, as he was saddled with five or more runs for the eighth time in 26 starts. Soriano fired 102 total pitches but managed to generate only 10 whiffs while notching five or more Ks for the fifth time in his six post-All-Star break starts. Through 148.2 total frames, the 26-year-old now sports a 4.00 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 130:64 K:BB. Soriano is currently scheduled to make his next appearance at home against the Cubs next weekend.

  • Athletics' Jeffrey Springs: Coughs up five runs

    Springs did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 11-5 extra-inning loss to the Angels. He conceded five runs on eight hits and three walks over 4.2 innings with five strikeouts.

    The Athletics southpaw was tagged for five or more runs for the sixth time this season in this 100-pitch outing. Springs gave up a three-run homer to Jo Adell in the first and then allowed the other two runs on a Christian Moore single in the fifth. Despite generating an astounding 18 whiffs, the 32-year-old struggled once again at home, where he now sports a 4.72 ERA across 66.2 frames (compared to a 3.80 mark in 73.1 road innings). Springs will carry a 4.24 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 114:44 K:BB into his next matchup, which is currently slated to come at Seattle next weekend.

  • Andrew Abbott SP | CIN

    Reds' Andrew Abbott: Tosses seven scoreless innings

    Abbott did not factor into Sunday's decision against the Brewers, allowing four hits while striking out seven across seven scoreless frames. He did not issue a walk.

    Abbott faced the minimum number of batters in five of seven frames, generating 12 whiffs and eight groundouts while tossing 92 pitches (61 strikes). It was the southpaw's fourth scoreless outing this season and lined him up for the win before William Contreras smacked a two-run homer in the ninth. Across 130 innings this season, Abbott has a 2.28 ERA and 1.08 WHIP, which ranks second and 14th best, respectively, among qualified starters in the majors. His next start is slated for next weekend on the road against the Diamondbacks, when he'll aim to collect his first win since July 9 against the Marlins.

  • Logan Webb SP | SF

    Giants' Logan Webb: Cruises to 11th win

    Webb (11-9) earned the win Sunday against the Rays, throwing seven scoreless innings while allowing three hits and no walks. He struck out seven.

    The San Francisco ace was dominant in this 86-pitch performance, as he notched his 17th quality start of the season. This marks the fifth consecutive season Webb has reached the 11-win plateau in his seven-season career. Across 160.2 total innings, the 28-year-old has pitched to a 3.19 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 175:35 K:BB. Webb is currently scheduled to make his next appearance in the Giants' upcoming weekend road series against the league-leading Brewers.

  • Aaron Nola SP | PHI

    Phillies' Aaron Nola: Rusty in return

    Nola didn't factor into the decision Sunday against Washington, allowing six runs on seven hits and one walk with four strikeouts across 2.1 innings.

    Nola made his long-awaited return from the injured list Sunday after missing three months with an ankle sprain and stress fracture in his right rib. The 32-year-old worked up to 84 pitches during his minor-league rehab assignment, but he lasted merely 53 pitches as the Nationals teed off on him in the third inning. Nola yielded six of his seven hits and his lone walk in the frame, all consecutively. The 32-year-old had been excellent during his rehab assignment, posting a 2.19 ERA and a 17:3 K:BB in 12.1 innings across three appearances. He's tentatively scheduled for a rematch with the Nationals next weekend.

  • Nationals' Mitchell Parker: Yanked in second inning

    Parker didn't factor into the decision Sunday against Philadelphia, allowing six runs (five earned) on four hits and three walks over 1.2 innings. He didn't record a strikeout.

    Parker's rough start to August continued Sunday, yielding at least four runs for a fourth straight outing and failing to make it out of the second inning for the first time all year. The 25-year-old has surrendered at least one homer in all four appearances this month. During that stretch, Parker has a 12.38 ERA and a 13:10 K:BB over 16 innings. He's on track to face the Phillies once again next weekend.

  • Janson Junk RP | MIA

    Marlins' Janson Junk: Lasts seven innings against Red Sox

    Junk didn't factor into the decision Sunday against Boston, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk across seven innings. He struck out six.

    Junk had completed exactly five innings in each of his previous five starts, and he tied his season high in innings pitched. The outing also marked Junk's fourth quality start of the campaign. 2025 has been the 29-year-old's first extended look as an MLB starter, and he's posted a 4.04 ERA and a 58:9 K:BB across 82.1 innings on the year. Junk is tentatively scheduled to pitch next weekend against the Blue Jays.

  • Red Sox's Garrett Crochet: Bounces back against MIA

    Crochet didn't factor into the decision Sunday against Miami, allowing one run on three hits and one walk with eight strikeouts across seven innings.

    Crochet tied his season high in runs allowed in his last start, but he rebounded with a dominant performance against the Marlins. The lone run attributed to Crochet came in the third inning via a solo home run by Eric Wagaman. Crochet has struck out eight or more in three of his last four starts, and Sunday's outing was his first no-decision in eight appearances. In 25 starts this season, Crochet has a 2.43 ERA and a 196:41 K:BB across 159.1 innings. He's on pace to face the Yankees next weekend.

  • Yu Darvish SP | SD

    Padres' Yu Darvish: Hit hard early

    Darvish allowed four runs on three hits and two walks while striking out five over four innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Sunday.

    Darvish was tagged for all four runs in the first inning, with Freddie Freeman launching a three-run shot and Andy Pages following with a solo homer. Over his eight starts this season, Darvish has allowed just six homers, all of which have been in his last five outings. He's fallen short of the five-inning mark five times so far, and his 5.97 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 34:13 K:BB through 37.2 innings offer little confidence. The 39-year-old is tentatively projected for a home rematch against the Dodgers in his next start, which may be a matchup for fantasy managers to avoid.
