  • Dylan Cease SP | TOR

    Padres' Dylan Cease: Another uneven outing

    Cease allowed five runs on five hits and five walks with nine strikeouts over 4.2 innings in a no-decision against the Mets on Monday.

    As usual, Cease looked dominant at times, racking up 13 whiffs and nine punchouts despite completing less than five innings. However, the righty couldn't sustain a strong opening four frames -- he loaded the bases in the fifth and then gave up a two-out grand slam to Mark Vientos. This was the third time in Cease's past five starts that he's surrendered four or more earned runs, and his ERA sits at a below-average 4.79 on the season. He ranks fourth in the majors with 153 strikeouts but has also posted a 3.57 BB/9, seventh-highest among qualified pitchers.

  • Mitch Keller SP | PIT

    Pirates' Mitch Keller: Completes just two frames Monday

    Keller allowed three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out three batters over two innings in a no-decision against San Francisco on Monday.

    It was a slog from the start for Keller, who allowed three baserunners and one run in the first inning. The Giants tagged him for two more runs in the second, though Keller at least managed to avoid a disastrous frame by striking out two batters with the bases loaded. However, the right-hander finished that inning at 73 pitches -- just 42 of which were strikes -- and didn't return for the third. This was Keller's shortest outing of the campaign and the first time in 20 starts that he's failed to complete five frames. Pittsburgh was able to pull out the win, however, so Keller remains without a loss on his record since June 21.

  • Slade Cecconi SP | CLE

    Guardians' Slade Cecconi: Goes seven strong in no-decision

    Cecconi did not factor into the decision in Monday's 8-6 loss to the Rockies, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks with three strikeouts over seven innings.

    Cecconi threw 64 of 98 pitches for strikes and limited the Rockies to just two extra-base hits despite allowing 12 hard-hit balls. The 26-year-old closes out July with four quality starts in five outings and has now held opponents to three earned runs or fewer in 11 of his 13 starts this season. He'll take a 3.77 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 63:22 K:BB across 76.1 innings into a road matchup with the Mets early next week.

  • Rockies' Bradley Blalock: Goes six scoreless in no-decision

    Blalock did not factor into the decision in Monday's 8-6 win over the Guardians, allowing six hits and no walks while striking out seven over six scoreless innings.

    Blalock racked up a career-high seven strikeouts and didn't allow an extra-base hit, exiting with a 3-0 lead the Rockies' bullpen couldn't hold. The outing marked the 24-year-old's first career quality start, and he's now allowed just three earned runs over 17 innings since rejoining the majors July 12. He'll take a 7.09 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 16:7 K:BB across 33 frames into a home matchup with the Pirates this weekend.

  • Emiliano Teodo SP | TEX

    Rangers' Emiliano Teodo: Sidelined at Triple-A

    Triple-A Round Rock placed Teodo on its 7-day injured list June 12 due to an unspecified injury.

    Teodo is on the shelf for the second time this season, after he previously missed about three weeks from late April through mid-May with a shoulder impingement. The 24-year-old right-hander has served as a full-time reliever for Round Rock when available, logging a 10.13 ERA, 2.25 WHIP and 19:17 K:BB over 16 innings.

  • Rich Hill SP | KC

    Royals' Rich Hill: Struggles with control in loss

    Hill (0-2) took the loss Monday against Atlanta, yielding four runs on three hits and six walks over four innings with three strikeouts.

    The veteran southpaw could not find the strike zone when it counted in this 81-pitch appearance, as he issued six or more free passes for the third time in his 21-year career. All four runs scored against Hill came on a pair of two-run long balls -- a 468-foot Ronald Acuna blast in the fourth and a 408-foot Marcell Ozuna homer in the fourth. In nine total innings across two starts, Hill has conceded seven runs (five earned) on nine hits and eight walks while striking out four. The 45-year-old currently lines up to make his next start on the road against Toronto this weekend.

  • Braves' Spencer Strider: Registers fifth win

    Strider (5-8) picked up the win Monday at Kansas City, conceding two runs on seven hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out three.

    The Atlanta right-hander did not have his sharpest stuff, as evidenced by his paltry five whiffs out of 96 total pitches. Strider gave up both runs during a three-hit first frame, as he worked around seven total hits allowed, which matched his season worst set July 4 against Baltimore. Across 77.2 total innings, the 26-year-old has pitched to a 3.71 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 92:32 K:BB while yielding 10 long balls. Strider currently lines up to make his next start during the MLB Speedway Classic at Bristol Motor Speedway against Cincinnati this weekend.

  • Matthew Boyd SP | CHC

    Cubs' Matthew Boyd: Rare dud in fourth loss

    Boyd (11-4) took the loss Monday against the Brewers, allowing five runs on six hits and five walks in five innings. He struck out two.

    The All-Star southpaw wasn't at his best Monday, establishing a season high in both runs and walks allowed. The two strikeouts represented his second-lowest total in a start this year, but Boyd was at least able to toss at least five frames in his 11th straight outing and 20th appearance of the campaign. Boyd has a 2.47 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 110:29 K:BB across 123.2 innings in 2025, and he'll aim to right the ship his next time out at home versus the Orioles this weekend.

  • Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Fans seven in no-decision

    Misiorowski didn't factor into the decision Monday against the Cubs, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks in four innings. He struck out seven.

    Misiorowski continues to showcase dominant stuff, as he fanned at least seven in his third straight start, but he's struggled to work deep into outings. The rookie phenom has failed to fire at least five frames in three of his last four appearances, but he's conceded fewer than two runs in all but one of his first seven major-league starts. Misiorowski stills sports a 2.70 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 47:14 K:BB across 33.1 frames, and he'll try to provide more length his next time out this weekend against the Nationals.

  • Davis Martin SP | CHW

    White Sox's Davis Martin: Strikes out seven in third win

    Martin (3-8) picked up the win Monday against the Phillies, allowing two runs on six hits and three walks in 5.2 innings. He struck out seven.

    Martin's steady campaign continued Monday, as he threw at least five innings in his eighth consecutive start. The right-hander also matched a season high in strikeouts, and he's now tossed at least five frames while yielding two runs or fewer on nine occasions among his 16 outings in 2025. Martin owns a quality 3.87 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 63:26 K:BB over 90.2 frames, and he's next set to take the hill this weekend against the Angels in Anaheim.
