Landen Roupp P | SF
Giants' Landen Roupp: Making progress in recovery
Roupp (elbow) threw 35 pitches off flat ground Tuesday and is expected to continue pitching at the Giants' complex in Arizona while the team is on its six-game road trip, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Roupp was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to Wednesday, due to right elbow inflammation. The right-hander will continue ramping up and is expected to return shortly after he's first eligible Aug. 6. Roupp may go on a rehab assignment before rejoining the Giants during their next homestand, per Rubin.

Gage Ziehl SP | BOS
White Sox's Gage Ziehl: Heads to White Sox in trade
The White Sox acquired Ziehl from the Yankees on Wednesday in exchange for outfielder Austin Slater, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
Recently promoted to High-A Hudson Valley, Ziehl has spent most of the 2025 season at Single-A Tampa, with whom he's posted a 4.00 ERA and 63:14 K:BB over 74.1 innings covering 14 starts. The 22-year-old was a fourth-round pick of the Yankees in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft.

Adrian Houser SP | SF
White Sox's Adrian Houser: Scratched from Wednesday's start
Houser was scratched from his scheduled start Wednesday against the Phillies, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
Houser is on the trade block, and while he has not be dealt anywhere at this point, the White Sox are holding the righty out in anticipation of moving him ahead of Thursday's deadline, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post. Lefty Tyler Alexander is now scheduled to start Wednesday in what will likely be a bullpen game for Chicago.

Brandon Young SP | BAL
Orioles' Brandon Young: Demoted after spot start
The Orioles optioned Young to Double-A Chesapeake on Wednesday.
Young was called up Tuesday to serve as the 27th man for the Orioles' doubleheader versus the Blue Jays. He drew the start in the second game of the twin bill, taking a no-decision despite limiting the Blue Jays to two earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out six over six innings. Though he'll head back to the minors for now, Young could be in line for a longer look in the rotation over the final two months of the season if the Orioles ship out a starter or two ahead of Thursday's trade deadline, although both Kyle Bradish (elbow) and Cade Povich (hip) are close to returning from the injured list.

Max Fried SP | NYY
Yankees' Max Fried: Takes care of Tampa Bay
Fried (12-4) got the win over the Rays on Tuesday, allowing four runs (two earned) on four hits and two walks while striking out nine in 6.2 innings.
Fried allowed three runs through the first three frames, including a Jonny DeLuca two-run triple and a solo shot from Jonathan Aranda. Fried went on to retire 14 straight after allowing the home run and exited in the seventh after a two-out RBI double from Taylor Walls. Fried has issued multiple walks in four of his last five starts, but his nine strikeouts Tuesday tied for his second-highest total this season. Fried is sixth in the American League with a 2.62 ERA and 1.03 WHIP and lines up to take the mound next week against the Rangers.

Pierson Ohl RP | COL
Twins' Pierson Ohl: Sent back to minors
The Twins optioned Ohl to Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday.
Ohl made his major-league debut in Tuesday's 8-5 loss to the Red Sox, allowing four runs over three innings as a starter. He could get another opportunity with the big club down the stretch, but for now, he'll return to a swingman role at St. Paul.

Tanner Gordon P | COL
Rockies' Tanner Gordon: Hit hard in loss
Gordon (2-3) took the loss Tuesday against the Guardians, allowing seven runs (six earned) on eight hits and two walks while striking out two in three innings.
Gordon was hit around in this one and had a disappointing outing after he was impressive in a scoreless showing against the Cardinals last week. Gordon allowed three runs through two innings and coughed up another four runs in the third, including a Kyle Manzardo two-run homer and Brayan Rocchio two-run triple. Despite the rough showing, Gordon figures to stick around in the rotation for the short term while German Marquez (biceps) is recovering. Gordon lines up to start at home versus the Blue Jays to begin next week.

Logan Taylor Allen SP | CLE
Guardians' Logan Allen: Goes seven innings in win
Allen (7-9) earned the win over the Rockies on Tuesday, allowing two runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out three in seven innings.
Allen provided the Guardians with some much-needed length, going seven innings for the first time since July 24, 2023. He was staked to a seven-run lead by the third inning and kept the Guardians well in front by inducing plenty of week contact. Allen's only major blemishes were a pair of solo home runs, and he's now allowed three runs or fewer in eight of his last nine starts. He's down to a 4.06 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 81:40 K:BB in 108.2 innings and lines up to face the Mets on the road next week.

Casey Mize SP | DET
Tigers' Casey Mize: Bailed out by offense Tuesday
Mize escaped with a no-decision in Tuesday's 12-2 rout of the Diamondbacks, giving up two runs (one earned) on three hits and three walks over just 1.2 innings. He struck out two.
The right-hander couldn't stick around long enough to benefit from the Tigers' offensive fireworks, throwing just 33 of 59 pitches for strikes before getting the hook in his shortest outing of the season. Mize has looked gassed over his last three starts, surrendering 13 runs (11 earned) in only 8.2 innings to send his ERA shooting up from 2.63 to 3.43, and his recent struggles may put pressure on the Detroit front office to further bolster the rotation at the trade deadline after acquiring Chris Paddack from Minnesota. Mize will try to find his prior form in his next start, which lines up to come at home early next week against those same Twins.

Brandon Pfaadt SP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Brandon Pfaadt: Falls apart in seventh loss
Pfaadt (10-7) took the loss Tuesday, coughing up seven runs on 11 hits -- including three home runs -- over 4.2 innings in a 12-2 rout at the hands of the Tigers. He struck out three without walking a batter.
The Diamondbacks held a 2-0 lead through three innings as Pfaadt seemed to be in control, but things unraveled quickly for the right-hander, with all three long balls off him coming in a nightmarish fifth frame. It's the first time since June 5 that Pfaadt has been tagged for more than four runs and the first time since June 10 he's served up multiple homers, ending a sharp seven-start stretch in which he posted a 3.48 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 40:7 K:BB over 41.1 innings. Pfaadt will try to get back on track in his next outing, which is scheduled to come at home early next week against the Padres.
