  • Davis Martin SP | CHW

    White Sox's Davis Martin: Handed ninth loss

    Martin (3-9) allowed six runs (five earned) on seven hits and two walks while striking out five over five-plus innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Mariners.

    Martin yielded two homers and ran into more trouble during the sixth by allowing the first three batters of the inning to reach base. Tyler Gilbert couldn't clean up the mess, and Martin ended up back in the loss column after winning against the Phillies in his previous start. For the season, Martin has a passable 4.11 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 68:28 K:BB through 96.1 innings across 17 appearances (16 starts). He's projected for a home start versus the Guardians this weekend.

  • Bryan Woo SP | SEA

    Mariners' Bryan Woo: Bounces back Tuesday

    Woo (9-6) allowed one run on two hits and struck out nine without walking a batter over seven innings to earn the win Tuesday over the White Sox.

    While one of the two hits he allowed left the yard -- a solo shot from Lenyn Sosa in the first inning -- Woo was otherwise excellent to bounce back from giving up five runs in his last start. His nine strikeouts Tuesday also matched his season high, while it was the first time since May 24 versus the Astros that he was able to avoid issuing a walk. Woo is now at a 3.02 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 136:25 K:BB through 140 innings over 22 starts this season. He is projected to make his next start at home versus the Rays.

  • Tyler Wells SP | BAL

    Orioles' Tyler Wells: Another scoreless rehab outing

    Wells (elbow) allowed three hits and two walks in 2.1 scoreless innings for Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday. He struck out four.

    Wells made his second rehab start, this time with the Triple-A club after pitching for Double-A Chesapeake his last time out, and he's now up to 4.1 shutout frames on his assignment. The right-hander built up to 49 pitches Tuesday amidst his recovery from UCL surgery, so he still has some work to do if the Orioles want to stretch him out to handle a starter's workload. Fantasy managers should expect Wells to make at least two more rehab appearances.

  • Twins' Zebby Matthews: Fans six in win

    Matthews (3-3) allowed one run on five hits and a walk over five innings Tuesday, striking out six and earning a win over Detroit.

    The lone blemish on Matthews' line came in the third inning on a Kerry Carpenter RBI double. Outside of that frame, Matthews allowed only one other runner to reach scoring position. It was a nice bounce-back outing after he coughed up five runs against Boston on July 30. He threw 86 pitches (55 strikes) and generated 12 whiffs Tuesday. Matthews has given up at least four runs in four of his eight MLB starts this season, resulting in a 5.17 ERA across 38.1 innings. He's projected to face the Royals at home this weekend.

  • Chris Paddack RP | MIA

    Tigers' Chris Paddack: Falls to former team

    Paddack (4-10) allowed four runs on six hits over four innings while taking a loss against the Twins on Tuesday. He did not record a walk or a strikeout.

    Paddack faced the Twins for the first time since being traded from Minnesota to Detroit in July and struggled right out of the gate. He gave up three runs in the first inning, including Luke Keaschall's two-run homer. Trevor Larnach later belted a solo shot in the fourth. Paddack threw only 57 pitches (44) strikes, his lowest pitch total in any outing this year. He produced two straight quality starts before Tuesday's hiccup, and he's now sporting a 4.91 ERA with an 88:27 K:BB through 121 frames. Paddack is expected to face the White Sox in Chicago next week.

  • Cal Quantrill SP | TEX

    Marlins' Cal Quantrill: Hammered for seven runs

    Quantrill (4-9) yielded seven runs on nine hits and three walks over 4.1 innings Tuesday, striking out two and taking a loss against Houston.

    Quantrill gave up a two-run shot to Jose Altuve in the first inning, followed by a two-run triple from Jeremy Pena in the fourth. Yainer Diaz then blew the game open with a three-run shot in the fifth. Quantrill had allowed only one run over his previous 16 innings before stumbling against the Astros on Tuesday. It was the first time he yielded multiple homers in an outing since April 25, and it pushed his ERA up to 5.21 through 102 innings this season. Quantrill is lined up to take the mound in Atlanta this weekend.

  • Astros' AJ Blubaugh: Earns win Tuesday

    Blubaugh (1-1) allowed two runs on three hits and a walk over five innings Tuesday, striking out five and earning a win over Miami.

    Blubaugh entered the game in the third inning after Steven Okert and Kaleb Ort combined to allow one run in the first two frames. It was Blubaugh's second career MLB appearance and first since April 30. He coughed up a pair of solo homers to Jakob Marsee and Eric Wagaman but otherwise looked solid. With Spencer Arrighetti (thumb) and Cristian Javier (elbow) both potentially back within the next week, it's unclear if Blubaugh will see more action with the big club or head back to Triple-A Sugar Land. He's produced a 4.00 ERA and an 11:2 K:BB over nine MLB innings.

  • Pirates' Mike Burrows: Tagged with six runs

    Burrows (1-4) allowed six runs on five hits and three walks over 4.2 innings Tuesday, striking out three and taking a loss against the Giants.

    Burrows got through two frames unscathed before the Giants started teeing off. He gave up three home runs, including a two-run shot to Christian Koss in the third inning. Willy Adames ended Burrows' night with a two-run homer in the fifth. Burrows was tagged for six runs against Minnesota on July 11 but had since given up only three runs over 17 innings before Tuesday's ugly outing. It was also the first time in his career that he allowed more than two home runs in an appearance. Burrows owns a 4.45 ERA with a 63:24 K:BB through 62.2 innings. He's projected to face the Reds at home this weekend.

  • Logan Webb SP | SF

    Giants' Logan Webb: Fans 10 in win

    Webb (10-8) allowed a run on seven hits over six innings Tuesday, striking out 10 and earning a win over Pittsburgh.

    Webb's final line was impressive, but he needed 110 pitches (74 strikes) to record 18 outs. He gave up a run in the third inning but otherwise kept the Pirates' offense quiet. Webb has faced Pittsburgh in two consecutive outings, combining for 21 punchouts and two earned runs across 11.2 innings. Prior to that, he had allowed 16 total runs in his previous three starts. Webb is now sporting a 3.24 ERA with a 165:34 K:BB across 147.1 frames this season. He's currently in line for a home matchup against the Padres next week.

  • Zack Littell SP | CIN

    Reds' Zack Littell: Dazzles with eight Ks in team debut

    Littell (9-8) earned the win Tuesday against the Cubs, allowing one run on three hits and two walks in seven innings. He struck out eight.

    Littell shined in his Reds debut, fanning a season-high eight and delivering his second start of season with at least seven innings while surrendering one run or fewer. The 29-year-old right-hander generated 16 whiffs on the evening, and his streak of starts with at least five frames was also extended to 20 on Tuesday. There may be some concerns regarding his fantasy appeal when he needs to work at homer-friendly Great American Ball Park, as Littell has served up an MLB-high 27 home runs, but his next appearance is slated for this weekend in Pittsburgh. Through 140.1 innings, Littell has a 3.46 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 97:23 K.
