  • Astros' Cristian Javier: Earns win in season debut

    Javier (1-0) earned the win Monday, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks over five innings against the Red Sox. He struck out five.

    Javier got off to a shaky start Monday, giving up a two-run homer to Alex Bregman in the first inning, but settled in to deliver five strong frames and pick up the win in his 2025 debut. The right-hander made his first big-league appearance since undergoing Tommy John surgery last season, when he posted a 3.89 ERA and 1.41 WHIP over 34.2 innings in seven starts.

  • Red Sox's Garrett Crochet: Falters in fifth loss

    Crochet (13-5) took the loss Monday, allowing five runs on seven hits and a walk over four innings against the Astros. He struck out five.

    Crochet struggled Monday, lasting a season-low four innings and matching his season high with five earned runs allowed. The outing hurts the southpaw's Cy Young candidacy, but his overall numbers -- a 2.48 ERA and 1.10 WHIP across 152.1 innings and 24 starts -- still rank him among the American League's top pitchers this season.

  • Dodgers' Yoshinobu Yamamoto: Struggles mightily Monday

    Yamamoto (10-8) took the loss against the Angels on Monday, pitching 4.2 innings during which he allowed six runs on six hits and five walks while striking out six batters.

    Yamamoto fell behind quickly, as the first pitch he threw was knocked by Zach Neto for a home run. The All-Star hurler gave up another run in the first but looked to get back on track with three straight scoreless frames. However, the Angels chased Yamamoto in the fifth, compiling four hits -- all singles -- along with a hit-by-pitch and a walk en route to four runs. Though the Neto homer was the only extra-base hit Yamamoto allowed, he didn't do himself any favors by issuing five free passes, tying a season-high mark. The six runs were the most Yamamoto has given up all year, and his overall ERA bumped up from 2.51 to 2.84 as a result.

  • Nathan Eovaldi SP | TEX

    Rangers' Nathan Eovaldi: Cools off in no-decision

    Eovaldi did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing five runs on eight hits and a walk over five innings in a 7-6 victory over the Diamondbacks. He struck out three.

    Eovaldi was hit hard early Monday, giving up three home runs across the second and third innings. The rough outing snapped an incredible stretch in which the right-hander logged 38.2 innings over his previous six starts with a 0.47 ERA and 0.78 WHIP. Even after the setback, his season line remains outstanding at a 1.71 ERA and 0.88 WHIP across 116 innings in 20 starts.

  • Jose Soriano RP | LAA

    Angels' Jose Soriano: Holds crosstown rivals to two hits

    Soriano (8-9) earned the win over the Dodgers on Monday, allowing two hits and issuing two walks while striking out six batters over six scoreless innings.

    Soriano was very sharp Monday, limiting the Dodgers to two harmless singles and two walks. He notched his fourth quality start over his past five outings, though the one game in which he didn't accomplish that feat was a seven-run, four-inning blowup against Tampa Bay his previous time on the mound. Soriano has been prone to the occasional ugly outing this year -- he has given up five or more runs on six occasions -- but he's also racked up seven appearances of six-plus frames without allowing an earned run. Overall, he's at a 3.84 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 125:63 K:BB over 143 innings spanning 25 starts.

  • Ryne Nelson SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ryne Nelson: Allows five runs in no-decision

    Nelson did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing five runs on seven hits and no walks over 5.1 innings against the Rangers. He struck out six.

    Nelson limited the damage to one run over five innings before giving up four in the sixth inning and exiting with two outs left in the frame. While the right-hander's stuff isn't overpowering, he's put together a solid 2025 season, posting a 3.46 ERA and 1.06 WHIP across 106.2 innings in 25 appearances (15 starts).

  • Tyler Anderson SP | LAA

    Angels' Tyler Anderson: Won't start Tuesday

    Anderson has been scratched from Tuesday's scheduled start against the Dodgers due to back stiffness, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    Anderson is presumably headed for further testing to determine if the injury will force him to the IL. Victor Mederos will be recalled to start Tuesday's game in Anderson's place.

  • Logan Webb SP | SF

    Giants' Logan Webb: Falls to San Diego

    Webb (10-8) took the loss Monday against the Padres, allowing four runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out three batters over 6.1 innings.

    Webb and Yu Darvish engaged in a scoreless pitchers' duel for five innings until the Padres got to Webb for a run in the sixth. The score was tied 1-1 entering the seventh, but Webb ran into quick trouble in the frame, giving up three runs before retiring his first batter. The right-hander had notched back-to-back starts with double-digit strikeouts entering Monday but managed just three punchouts and five whiffs against San Diego. Webb's next start is projected to be against Tampa Bay this weekend.

  • Yu Darvish SP | SD

    Padres' Yu Darvish: Sharp in victory Monday

    Darvish (2-3) earned the win over San Francisco on Monday, allowing one run on four hits and no walks while striking out six batters over six innings.

    Darvish kept the Giants off the scoreboard until Rafael Devers hit a solo homer off him in the sixth inning. That was the extent of the damage San Francisco managed on the night as Darvish notched his second win over his past three starts. The veteran hurler racked up 15 whiffs in the outing and picked up his second quality start of the campaign. After giving up eight runs over 3.1 innings in a disastrous outing against St. Louis on July 24, Darvish has yielded just four runs while posting an 18:2 K:BB across 17 frames over his subsequent three starts.

  • Royals' Bailey Falter: Lasts four frames in no-decision

    Falter did not factor into the decision in Monday's 7-4 victory over Washington. He allowed two runs on three hits and three walks in four innings with five strikeouts.

    The 28-year-old southpaw couldn't last the five innings required for a win in this 76-pitch outing. Falter conceded a two-run homer to Josh Bell in the opening frame, as he's now coughed up nine runs across eight innings with the Royals after arriving at the trade deadline. Through 121.1 total innings with Kansas City and Pittsburgh, Falter has pitched to a 4.15 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 77:44 K:BB while yielding 19 long balls. He is currently scheduled to make his next start at home against the White Sox this weekend.
