  • Kyle Hendricks SP | LAA

    Angels' Kyle Hendricks: Sharp in win over Mariners

    Hendricks (6-7) allowed one run on two hits and a walk while striking out three over six-plus innings to earn the win over the Mariners on Sunday.

    Hendricks was efficient, throwing 48 of 71 pitches for strikes. His last offering was taken out by Cal Raleigh to lead off the seventh inning, which ended Hendricks' start, but it was still a good performance from the veteran right-hander after he had allowed 11 runs (10 earned) over his previous three starts spanning 13.2 innings. He also came away with his first win since June 17 versus the Yankees. On the year, Hendricks has a 4.73 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 70:26 K:BB through 106.2 innings across 20 starts. He is tentatively projected to make his next start at home versus the White Sox.

  • Dustin May SP | STL

    Dodgers' Dustin May: Stumbles in fifth frame

    May (6-7) took the loss Sunday against the Red Sox, allowing four runs on five hits over five innings. He struck out five.

    May looked sharp early Sunday, allowing just one run through his first four frames. However, he gave up three runs on three consecutive one-out hits in the fifth, capped by an Alex Bregman two-run homer. It's been an up-and-down year overall for May, who's given up four or more runs in three of his last five outings. His ERA sits at 4.85 with a 1.35 WHIP and 97:43 K:BB across 104 innings this season.

  • Red Sox's Walker Buehler: No-decision vs. former team

    Buehler did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Dodgers, allowing three runs on four hits and five walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out four.

    Buehler's final line certainly could have looked a lot worse, as the right-hander struggled again with his command -- Buehler's issued 23 walks over just 34 innings in his last seven starts. His ERA now sits at a subpar 5.72 on the year with a 1.54 WHIP and 71:41 K:BB across 18 starts (89.2 innings). Buehler is currently lined up to face the Astros at home in his next outing.

  • Austin Gomber SP | TEX

    Rockies' Austin Gomber: Takes fourth straight loss

    Gomber (0-5) was charged with the loss Sunday against the Orioles, allowing four runs on four hits and three walks across 4.1 innings. He struck out two.

    It was another tough day for Gomber, who's now allowed four or more runs in three of his last four starts. The left-hander's ERA is up to 6.28 through eight starts (38.2 innings) this season with a 1.66 WHIP and 22:10 K:BB. Gomber will look to turn things around in his next outing, currently scheduled for next week at home against the Pirates.

  • Orioles' Tomoyuki Sugano: Picks up eighth win

    Sugano (8-5) earned the win Sunday over the Rockies, allowing a run on four hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out eight.

    It was an impressive outing from Sugano, who matched a season high with his eight strikeouts while allowing a lone run on a Warming Bernabel homer in the second inning. It's the second quality start in three outings since the All-Star break for Sugano. The 35-year-old right-hander lowered his ERA to 4.38 with a 1.33 WHIP and 71:28 K:BB across 20 starts (109 innings) this season. Sugano is currently scheduled to face the Cubs on the road his next time out.

  • Astros' Colton Gordon: Saddled with third loss

    Gordon (4-3) took the loss Sunday against the Athletics, yielding four runs on six hits and no walks over five innings with six strikeouts.

    The Houston southpaw opened the first frame by conceding solo homers to Miguel Andujar and Shea Langeliers and was unable to recover. Gordon tossed 99 pitches, 66 of which were strikes, as he did manage to notch six Ks for the first time in seven appearances, dating back to May 31. Across 62.2 total frames, the 26-year-old rookie sports a 4.74 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 54:11 K:BB. Gordon is currently slated to make his next start at Boston next weekend; however, his future in the Astros rotation may be limited as Luis Garcia (elbow), Cristian Javier (elbow) and Lance McCullers (blister) all are nearing returns from their respective injuries.

  • Grant Holmes RP | ATL

    Braves' Grant Holmes: Shifted to 60-day IL

    Atlanta transferred Holmes (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.

    Earlier Sunday, Atlanta placed Holmes on the 15-day IL due to right elbow inflammation, but the club's decision to shift him to the 60-day IL suggests that follow-up tests may have revealed a more significant injury. As a result of the transaction, the earliest Holmes could return to action is Sept. 26, so his season his most likely over. The transaction will open up a spot on the 40-man roster for right-hander Erick Fedde, whom Atlanta acquired from St. Louis on Sunday and could immediately slot into the rotation. Over his 21 starts prior to landing on the IL, Holmes posted a 4-9 record, 3.99 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 123:54 K:BB in 115 innings.

  • Erick Fedde SP | CHW

    Braves' Erick Fedde: Dealt to Atlanta

    Atlanta acquired Fedde from St. Louis on Sunday in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations.

    Fedde has found a new home after being designated for assignment by the Cardinals on Wednesday, joining an Atlanta squad that's seen its starting pitching depth get decimated by injuries in recent weeks. The right-hander owns an inflated 5.22 ERA and 1.50 WHIP over 101.2 innings in 20 starts on the season, and he had struggled mightily over his final five outings with the Cardinals, giving up 26 earned runs to go with an 8:11 K:BB in 17.2 innings. Atlanta transferred Grant Holmes (elbow) to the 60-day injured list to clear room on the 40-man roster for Fedde, who could immediately slot into Atlanta's rotation during the upcoming week.

  • Jack Leiter P | TEX

    Rangers' Jack Leiter: Earns win over Atlanta

    Leiter (7-6) allowed a run on two hits and three walks while striking out seven over six innings to earn the win over Atlanta on Sunday.

    Leiter allowed three of those baserunners and the lone run on his line in the second inning, but he settled down well after that and received plenty of run support. He's won three starts in a row, allowing just six runs over his last 17.1 innings despite a 20:11 K:BB in that span. Leiter is now at a 4.09 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 83:45 K:BB through 92.1 innings across 18 starts this season. His next start is projected to be at Seattle.

  • Bryce Elder SP | ATL

    Braves' Bryce Elder: Lit up in loss

    Elder (4-7) allowed eight runs on six hits and four walks while striking out three over 2.2 innings to take the loss Sunday versus Texas.

    Elder got into trouble in the first inning, allowing a three-run double to Wyatt Langford. The Rangers didn't slow down until they chased Elder in the third. The 26-year-old has allowed 17 runs over 19.1 innings across four starts in July, and he fell short of the four-inning mark for the third time in seven outings with Sunday's poor performance. Overall, he's at a 6.29 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 73:35 K:BB through 87.1 innings over 17 starts. Atlanta's rotation has been hammered by injuries -- Elder is one of three healthy starters currently on the roster, which is likely to need reinforcements over the coming week. Elder's next start is projected to be on the road at Cincinnati.
