  • Rays' Adrian Houser: Another rough start

    Houser (6-4) took the loss Sunday against Seattle, allowing four runs on six hits and three walks with four strikeouts across five innings.

    Houser's time in Tampa Bay has been rocky, as the veteran starter has allowed five and four runs, respectively, in his first two starts as a Ray. The 32-year-old has surrendered multiple walks in four of his last six starts. His two outings with Tampa Bay have ballooned Houser's ERA from 1.89 to 2.84. He'll look to get back on track next weekend in San Francisco.

  • MacKenzie Gore SP | TEX

    Nationals' MacKenzie Gore: Rebounds with dominant start

    Gore (5-12) picked up the win Sunday against San Francisco, allowing three hits and one walk with 10 strikeouts over six scoreless innings.

    Gore had lost his last four starts leading up to Sunday's outing, but he rediscovered the elite form he had earlier in the campaign. He fanned double-digit hitters for the first time in 19 starts and delivered his first quality start in five outings. The 26-year-old yielded 23 runs in 15.2 innings with a 10:11 K:BB during his previous four appearances. In 132 innings this season, Gore has a 4.09 ERA and a 158:47 K:BB. He's penciled in to make his next start against the Phillies over the weekend.

  • Giants' Justin Verlander: Roughed up by Nats

    Verlander (1-9) took the loss Sunday against Washington, allowing five runs on 11 hits and one walk across five innings. He struck out six.

    Verlander had been excellent in his previous three appearances, yielding one run across 15 innings. He surrendered more hits Sunday than he did during that three-start stretch and set a season-worst mark in the column. Through 20 starts in 2025, Verlander has a 4.53 ERA and an 87:36 K:BB over 99.1 innings. The 42-year-old will be back on the bump next weekend against Tampa Bay.

  • Cal Quantrill SP | ATL

    Marlins' Cal Quantrill: Early exit in no-decision

    Quantrill did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 7-1 loss to Atlanta, allowing one run on three hits and no walks with one strikeout over four innings.

    Quantrill was surprisingly pulled after just 47 pitches despite retiring the first seven batters he faced and allowing just one run on a solo homer in the fourth inning. While the 30-year-old has given up one earned run or fewer in four of five starts since the All-Star break, he's topped five innings just once in that span. He'll carry a 5.09 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 80:29 K:BB across 106 innings into a road matchup with the Red Sox next weekend.

  • Pirates' Mike Burrows: One bad frame derails outing

    Burrows did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 14-8 loss to the Reds, allowing four runs on three hits and one walk with six strikeouts over five innings.

    Burrows was undone by a four-run third inning, capped by a three-run homer from Miguel Andujar. He was otherwise sharp, tossing three perfect frames and generating 13 whiffs on just 74 pitches. The 25-year-old will take a 4.66 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 69:25 K:BB across 67.2 innings into a road matchup with the Cubs next weekend.

  • Zack Littell SP | CIN

    Reds' Zack Littell: Hit around in no-decision

    Littell did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 14-8 win over the Pirates, allowing four runs on nine hits and no walks with three strikeouts over 4.2 innings.

    Littell opened with three scoreless innings before giving up four runs in the fourth and fifth. The 29-year-old threw 56 of 83 pitches for strikes but allowed 11 hard-hit balls and failed to complete five frames for just the second time this season. He'll take a 3.60 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 100:23 K:BB across 145 innings into a home matchup with the red-hot Brewers next weekend.

  • Kyle Bradish SP | BAL

    Orioles' Kyle Bradish: Rehab assignment to continue

    Bradish (elbow) is expected to make at least one more rehab start before returning from the 60-day injured list, MLB.com reports.

    The 28-year-old right-hander has worked 12.1 innings over four rehab appearances in the minor leagues, producing a shaky 6.57 ERA and 1.54 WHIP. Bradish most recently threw 69 pitches for Triple-A Norfolk on Friday in the fourth start of his rehab assignment, and he could need to complete a couple more starts in the minors before the Orioles consider reinstating him from the injured list. He'll likely be looking to build up to 70-to-80 pitches during his next rehab outing.

  • Tyler Wells SP | BAL

    Orioles' Tyler Wells: Continues to look sharp in rehab

    Wells (elbow) struck out five and allowed oone hit and one walk over four scoreless innings in a rehab start for Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday.

    Wells has now turned in 8.1 shutout innings through the first three starts of his rehab assignment. The right-hander spotted 41 of his 52 pitches for strikes Sunday, but he'll still need at least a couple more starts to get fully stretched out before the Orioles consider opening up a spot for him in the big-league rotation. Wells has been stuck on the injured list all season while working his way back from his June 17, 2024 UCL revision and internal brace augmentation surgery.

  • Tyler Glasnow SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: Strikes out eight in no-decision

    Glasnow allowed two runs on four hits and four walks while striking out eight over 5.2 innings in a no-decision on Sunday versus the Blue Jays.

    Glasnow threw 53 of 86 pitches for strikes, but he came up just one out shy of a quality start after running into trouble in the sixth inning. He's had some issues with walks lately -- he's allowed a modest seven runs over 16.2 innings across his last three starts, but he has an 18:11 K:BB in that stretch. Overall, Glasnow is at a 3.08 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 64:27 K:BB through 52.2 innings across 11 starts this season. He's lined up for a home start versus the Padres in his next outing.

The right-hander will be the headliner of a prominent trio of starting pitching prospects at Syracuse that also includes Brandon Sproat and Nolan McLean.
