  • Jose Berrios SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Jose Berrios: Spins 5.1 shutout frames in win

    Berrios (9-4) earned the win Tuesday against the Cubs, allowing two hits and four walks in 5.1 scoreless innings. He struck out three.

    Tuesday marked Berrios' first scoreless start since June 27 in Boston, and the two hits allowed matched a season low. However, the four walks fell one short of tying a season high, and the right-hander has surpassed five strikeouts on just one occasion over his last eight outings. Berrios has a weak 4.95 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 30:12 K:BB across those last eight appearances (40 innings) since the start of July, though he'll try to build on Tuesday's positive showing this weekend at home versus the Rangers.

  • Javier Assad RP | CHC

    Cubs' Javier Assad: Poor showing in season debut

    Assad (0-1) took the loss Tuesday against Toronto, allowing four runs on eight hits and one walk in four innings. He struck out two.

    Assad struggled in his season debut, and most of the damage was done courtesy of an Ernie Clement three-run home run in the fourth inning. The right-hander threw just 70 pitches in his first start off the 60-day injured list due to an oblique injury, so he still has some building up to do after tossing 68 pitches in his final rehab start for Triple-A Iowa. That said, Assad won't be a recommended streaming option as he aims to extend his pitch count next week versus the first-place Brewers.

  • Tony Gonsolin SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Tony Gonsolin: Done for 2025

    Gonsolin underwent an internal brace procedure on his right elbow Tuesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Gonsolin has been on the injured list since early June with elbow soreness. After making minimal progress in his recovery, the 31-year-old opted to go under the knife to address the issue, which will officially end his 2025 campaign after just seven starts. His recovery is expected to take roughly 8-to-10 months, putting him in line to return sometime during the first half of the '26 season.

  • Kai-Wei Teng SP | HOU

    Giants' Kai-Wei Teng: Starting Wednesday

    Teng will draw the start in Wednesday's contest against the Padres, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Teng will return to the mound to make his second start of the season with San Francisco. The right-hander worked behind opener Matt Gage in Friday's win over the Nationals, tossing five scoreless innings while striking out four batters. Over two outings, Teng owns a 5.40 ERA and 1.32 WHIP with eight punchouts over 8.1 innings, and he'll look to step up to the challenge against an impressive Padres group.

  • Giants' Landen Roupp: Expected to start Friday

    Roupp (elbow) is expected to be activated from the 15-day injured list and start Friday's contest against the Rays, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Roupp is set to make his return to action with the Giants after tossing three innings, allowing three runs on three hits while striking out four batters in a rehab start with Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday. The right-hander has been on the shelf since July 25 with right elbow inflammation, but he'll rejoin the major-league roster after just 20 days away. Roupp was limited to 50 total pitches in his rehab outing, so he'll likely be on a workload restriction in his return versus Tampa Bay.

  • Astros' Colton Gordon: Back in big leagues

    The Astros recalled Gordon from Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday.

    The left-hander was optioned to Sugar Land on Monday, but he'll quickly rejoin the major-league club since Josh Hader (shoulder) is headed to the injured list. Gordon has started in 13 of his 14 big-league appearances this season but is likely to operate as a reliever since the Astros now have Spencer Arrighetti and Cristian Javier back in the fold.

  • Cubs' Jameson Taillon: Making final rehab start Wednesday

    Manager Craig Counsell said Taillon (calf) will make a third rehab start with Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday before returning from the 15-day injured list, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    The veteran right-hander allowed one earned run and threw 78 pitches over 4.2 innings during the second start of his rehab assignment last Friday, and he'll make one more start in the minors before returning to the Cubs. Assuming all goes well Wednesday, Taillon will rejoin the Cubs early next week to make a start at Wrigley Field against the Brewers, who have gone 18-4 since the All-Star break and own the best record in baseball.

  • Brewers' Logan Henderson: Targeting late-September return

    Henderson (elbow) is targeting a late-September or early-October return, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    With that timeline, Henderson's regular season could be over, but he may be an option for the Brewers during the playoffs. Henderson was injured in his Aug. 3 start against the Nationals when he allowed one earned run on three hits and two walks across 4.1 innings of work. He was later diagnosed with a flexor strain. The 23-year-old right-hander has made five starts for the Brewers this season, posting a 3-0 record, 1.78 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 33:8 K:BB across 25.1 innings.

  • Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Could begin rehab assignment Friday

    Misiorowski (tibia) is scheduled to throw a 30-pitch bullpen session Tuesday and could begin a rehab assignment as soon as Friday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Misiorowski last pitched on July 28, when he took a comebacker off his shin from Seiya Suzuki. He was diagnosed with a tibia contusion, and the rookie right-hander has experienced no setbacks. Misiorowski shouldn't require more than one rehab start, so it sounds like he has a chance to rejoin the rotation next week.

  • Frankie Montas RP | NYM

    Mets' Frankie Montas: Officially moved to bullpen

    Manager Carlos Mendoza said Tuesday that Montas will move to the bullpen permanently, Deesha Thosar of Fox Sports reports.

    Montas' last appearance came out of the bullpen as the bulk reliever behind opener Reed Garrett this past Saturday in a 7-4 loss to the Brewers. Montas allowed one earned run on three hits and two walks across three innings of work in that one, striking out three. Paul Blackburn (shoulder) could be activated from the IL to fill the hole in the rotation, but prospects Brandon Sproat and Nolan McLean are also options to start for the Mets this coming Saturday against Seattle.
