  • Dean Kremer SP | BAL

    Orioles' Dean Kremer: Takes eighth loss

    Kremer (8-8) took the loss Tuesday against the Phillies, allowing four runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out six in six innings.

    Four of the eight hits allowed by Kremer went for extra bases, including a two-run homer in the second inning by Max Kepler. Still, Kremer was able to settle in thereafter, allowing one run over his final four innings. He's now pitched at least five frames in all but three of his 23 appearances this season and has become a reliable innings eater for the Orioles this season. Kremer owns a 4.35 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 110:35 K:BB in 132.1 innings and lines up for a home meeting with the Mariners next week.

  • Royals' Ryan Bergert: Falls in KC debut

    Bergert (1-1) took the loss Tuesday, giving up two runs on two hits and two walks over 5.2 innings as the Royals were downed 6-2 by the Red Sox.

    Making his first appearance for Kansas City after being acquired from San Diego as part of the Freddy Fermin trade, Bergert battled Boston ace Garrett Crochet to a 1-1 tie through five frames before the home squad finally pulled ahead for good in the sixth. Bergert tossed 61 of 85 pitches for strikes, falling just short of his first career quality start, and the 25-year-old rookie staked a claim to potentially handle at least one more turn through the rotation while Michael Lorenzen (oblique) completes a rehab assignment. If Bergert does get another start with the Royals, it would likely come at home early next week against the Nationals.

  • Taijuan Walker SP | PHI

    Phillies' Taijuan Walker: Dazzles against Orioles

    Walker (4-5) got the win over the Orioles on Tuesday, tossing six scoreless innings while allowing just four hits, no walks and striking out four.

    Walker was brilliant Tuesday night, completing six innings without allowing a run or a walk for the first time since September of 2016. Walker's made 13 starts this season and this marked just his second time reaching six innings. Since returning to the rotation in July, Walker owns a 3.28 ERA 1.26 WHIP and 14:3 K:BB in 24.2 innings across five starts. With Aaron Nola (ankle/rib) nearing a return, it's up in the air whether Walker will get another turn in the rotation or if he'll return to relief duty.

  • Ryan Pepiot RP | TB

    Rays' Ryan Pepiot: Grabs seventh win

    Pepiot (7-9) earned the win Tuesday, allowing three runs (two earned) on five hits and two walks over 5.2 innings against the Angels. He struck out six.

    The right-hander worked through four scoreless innings before Jo Adell got to him for three runs across the fifth and sixth innings. Tuesday's outing followed a rocky July for Pepiot in which he posted a 5.03 ERA and 1.26 WHIP over 34 innings across six starts. While his season ERA sits at a respectable 3.77 over 136 innings, a 4.58 FIP suggests more regression could be on the horizon.

  • Jose Soriano RP | LAA

    Angels' Jose Soriano: Allows seven runs in ninth loss

    Soriano (7-9) took the loss Tuesday, allowing seven runs on seven hits and a walk over four innings against Tampa Bay. He struck out four.

    The right-hander cruised through three scoreless innings before unraveling in the fourth, giving up seven runs sparked by a two-run homer from Brandon Lowe. Soriano remains a mixed bag for fantasy managers -- while his 4.01 ERA over 137 innings and 24 starts doesn't properly align with his more favorable 3.55 FIP, his modest 7.8 K/9 and elevated 4.0 BB/9 dampen his overall appeal.

  • Jose Berrios SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Jose Berrios: Nabs eighth win

    Berrios (8-4) earned the win Tuesday, allowing four runs (three earned) on seven hits and a walk over 5.1 innings against the Rockies. He struck out five.

    Berrios was far from dominant but provided enough length to come away with the win. The right-hander has now allowed multiple runs in five straight outings, posting a 5.55 ERA and 1.52 WHIP over 24.1 innings in that stretch. Despite the recent dip in form, his season line remains solid with a 3.84 ERA and 1.26 WHIP across 131.1 innings in 23 starts.

  • Ryne Nelson SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ryne Nelson: Fine work in no-decision

    Nelson allowed two runs on six hits and two walks while striking out eight over 5.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Padres on Tuesday.

    Nelson has racked up a season-high eight strikeouts in each of his last two starts. Since the beginning of July, he's made six starts, allowing 12 runs (nine earned) over 34 innings while posting a 30:9 K:BB in that span. That's right in line with his 3.20 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 89:30 K:BB through 101.1 innings over 24 appearances (14 starts) this season. Nelson is tentatively projected for a road start versus the Rangers early next week.

  • Yu Darvish SP | SD

    Padres' Yu Darvish: Struggles with control

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

    It wasn't a terrible start, but Darvish wasn't dialed in. He threw just 45 of 72 pitches for strikes and also unleashed two wild pitches during this outing. Aside from his seven innings of two-hit ball versus the Mets last Wednesday, Darvish has been largely unremarkable after missing the first three months of the season due to an elbow injury. He's at a 6.51 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 23:11 K:BB through 27.2 innings across six starts. Darvish is tentatively projected for a road start in San Francisco early next week.

  • Miles Mikolas SP | WAS

    Cardinals' Miles Mikolas: Serves up three homers in loss

    Mikolas (6-9) allowed five runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out one over three innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Dodgers.

    After allowing nine homers over five starts in July, a date with the power-hitting Dodgers was not what the doctor ordered for Mikolas. He gave up three more long balls Tuesday, though two of them were solo shots, but the right-hander was still done after 67 pitches (44 strikes). Mikolas is now at a 5.11 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 76:23 K:BB through 111 innings across 22 starts. He's already given up 21 homers this year, six shy of matching his career high from 2019. His next start is projected to be at home versus the Rockies.

  • Emmet Sheehan SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Emmet Sheehan: Decent in third win

    Sheehan (3-2) allowed two unearned runs on four hits and a walk while striking out five over five innings to earn the win over the Cardinals on Tuesday.

    Sheehan threw 49 of 76 pitches for strikes after making a 72-pitch relief appearance in his last outing. He's back in the rotation after the trade deadline, as the Dodgers shipped out Dustin May to the Red Sox. With the Dodgers using a six-man rotation, Sheehan's spot is likely safe at least until Roki Sasaki (shoulder) returns, which isn't imminent. Sheehan is at a 3.00 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 31:11 K:BB across 30 innings through seven outings (five starts) this season. The right-hander's next start is projected to be on the road versus the Angels.
