  • Mitch Keller SP | PIT

    Pirates' Mitch Keller: Solid despite command issues

    Keller did not factor into the decision in Friday's 3-2 win over the Reds, allowing two runs on six hits and three walks with three strikeouts over 5.2 innings.

    Keller departed an out shy of a quality start after allowing two baserunners in the sixth inning, one of whom came around to score. The 29-year-old threw just 56 of 97 pitches for strikes with only six whiffs, but the two earned runs marked his lowest total in four starts since the All-Star break. He'll carry a 3.86 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 107:37 K:BB across 137.2 innings into a road matchup with the Brewers next week.

  • Chase Burns P | CIN

    Reds' Chase Burns: Makes history in no-decision

    Burns did not factor into the decision in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Pirates, allowing one run on three hits and one walk with 10 strikeouts over six innings.

    Burns generated 16 whiffs on 97 pitches and was in line for his first career win before the Pirates rallied in the eighth inning. According to the Reds, the 22-year-old became the first major leaguer to record 10 strikeouts in four of his first eight career starts. He'll carry a 5.24 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 57:13 K:BB across 34.1 innings into a home matchup with the Brewers next weekend.

  • Giants' Landen Roupp: Close to rehab assignment

    Roupp (elbow) threw a bullpen session Friday and could begin his rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Roupp is making good progress in his recovery from right elbow inflammation and will likely require just one or two rehab starts before he makes his return from the 15-day injured list. The right-hander posted a 3.11 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 95:42 K:BB across 101.1 innings prior to landing on the shelf July 25.

  • Aaron Nola SP | PHI

    Phillies' Aaron Nola: Set for more rehab start

    Nola (ankle/rib) will make another rehab start for Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday and could be activated from the 60-day injured list after that, Paul Casella of MLB.com reports.

    Nola threw 69 pitches and covered 3.2 innings in his second rehab start for Lehigh Valley on Wednesday, and if he's able to build on that workload Tuesday while coming out of the start free of setbacks, he could be ready to rejoin the Philadelphia rotation as soon as Aug. 17 in Washington. Nola has been on the shelf since May 15 due to an ankle sprain and a stress reaction in his right rib, the latter of which he sustained while rehabbing the ankle injury.

  • Cubs' Jameson Taillon: Set for rehab start

    Taillon (calf) will make his scheduled rehab start with Triple-A Iowa on Friday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    The right-hander was pummeled for seven earned runs across three innings in his last rehab start, but he will stay on schedule nonetheless. Depending on how he fares Friday, Taillon could jump back into the Cubs' rotation next week as the team kicks off a stretch of 14 games in 13 days.

  • Cubs' Jameson Taillon: Scratched from rehab start

    Taillon (calf) will not make his scheduled rehab start for Triple-A Iowa on Friday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    It's uncertain whether this is due to a setback, but that seems likely given the timing of the scratch. With recent trade acquisition Mike Soroka (shoulder) landing on the injured list, the Cubs could be forced to turn to Brad Keller, Ben Brown and/or Jordan Wicks for starts in the coming weeks.

  • Chris Sale SP | ATL

    Braves' Chris Sale: Making rehab start Tuesday

    Sale (ribs) will make his first rehab start with Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday, Gabe Burns of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Last year's NL Cy Young winner threw 30 pitches in a simulated game Thursday and is now ready to embark on a minor-league rehab assignment, which may consist of only two starts. Sale struggled out of the gate this season but was finding his form before he injured himself on an ill-fated dive attempt, posting a 0.86 ERA and 0.89 WHIP in six starts leading up to his placement on the IL in mid-June.

  • White Sox's Jonathan Cannon: Sent down to Triple-A

    The White Sox optioned Cannon to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

    Cannon had yielded six or more runs in three consecutive starts, and he'll lose his spot on the active roster as a result. The poor stretch of play came out of nowhere for Cannon, as he had allowed six total runs in his previous four outings before the rough stretch. Wikelman Gonzalez was recalled from Charlotte in a corresponding move.

  • Brewers' Robert Gasser: Rehab shifted to Triple-A

    Gasser (elbow) has been sent to Triple-A Nashville to continue his rehab assignment, the Brewers announced Friday.

    Gasser has made four rehab appearances over the last few weeks, allowing two runs in six innings. He'll continue his assignment at Triple-A, seemingly the last step of his long recovery from Tommy John surgery. Gasser should be reinstated sometime in August, but it's unclear where he'll fit in Milwaukee's talented and deep pitching pool.

  • Tobias Myers RP | NYM

    Brewers' Tobias Myers: Rejoins big club, starting Saturday

    The Brewers recalled Myers from Triple-A Nashville on Friday.

    Logan Henderson had been in line to make a second straight turn through the rotation Saturday against the Mets, but after the rookie was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday with a right elbow strain, Myers will be summoned from the the minors to make the start in his stead, per Sophia Minnaert of FanDuel Sports Network Wisconsin. A full-time member of the Milwaukee rotation for much of last season, Myers has been limited to just eight appearances (five starts) in the majors in 2025, posting a 4.30 ERA and 19:10 K:BB across 23 innings. Myers may be in line for just one start, as the Brewers could get Jacob Misiorowski (tibia) back from the 15-day injured list next week when the team needs a fifth starter again.
