  • Will Warren P | NYY

    Yankees' Will Warren: Fans seven in no-decision

    Warren didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 12-5 loss to the Phillies, allowing two runs on five hits and three walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out seven.

    The right-hander fired 57 of 89 pitches for strikes as he fell one out short of his fourth quality start of the season, and Warren really made just one mistake, which Kyle Schwarber ripped over the right-center field fence for a two-run blast in the fifth inning. Warren has walked multiple batters in seven straight outings, a stretch in which he's stumbled to a 4.79 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 34:21 K:BB over 35.2 innings. He'll be a volatile fantasy option in his next start, which is scheduled to come at home next week against the Rays.

  • Taijuan Walker SP | PHI

    Phillies' Taijuan Walker: Hit hard in no-decision

    Walker came away with a no-decision in Friday's 12-5 win over the Yankees, giving up three runs on six hits -- including three home runs -- over 5.2 innings. He struck out three without walking a batter.

    Solo shots by Cody Bellinger in the first inning, Austin Wells in the second and Giancarlo Stanton in the sixth accounted for all the damage off Walker, who got the hook after 83 pitches (55 strikes), one out short of his second quality start of the season. The veteran righty has served up five homers in his last two starts, but he's allowed just six runs total in those outings and will likely continue to hold down a rotation spot until Aaron Nola (ribs) is ready to return. Walker lines up to make his next trip to the mound on the road next week against the White Sox.

  • Rhett Lowder SP | CIN

    Reds' Rhett Lowder: Initiates throwing program

    Lowder (forearm/oblique) is tentatively scheduled to throw from a bullpen mound Aug. 17, MLB.com reports.

    Lowder began a throwing program this week with the goal of being available to throw in the Arizona Fall League. The organization believes the right-hander should be set up for a normal offseason.

  • Nathan Eovaldi SP | TEX

    Rangers' Nathan Eovaldi: Fans seven in five shutout innings

    Eovaldi (8-3) picked up the win Friday against Atlanta, allowing three hits and four walks in five scoreless innings. He struck out seven.

    Eovaldi, who was scratched prior to his last scheduled start with a back issue, circumvented some trouble while tossing just one clean inning and walking a season-high four. It's possible the Rangers are becoming more cautious about Eovaldi's workload, as the veteran right-hander has reached the 90-pitch plateau in just one of his four starts in July. Eovaldi has still been magnificent when healthy in 2025, working to a 1.50 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 101:18 K:BB over 96 innings, and he's next set to toe the slab against the division-rival Angels in Anaheim.

  • Clay Holmes RP | NYM

    Mets' Clay Holmes: Bounces back for ninth win

    Holmes (9-5) allowed a run on six hits and a walk while striking out two over five innings to earn the win over the Giants on Friday.

    Holmes was good enough, though he was far from dominant or efficient, needing 104 pitches (64 strikes) to get through five frames. The right-hander is reportedly not being considered for a move back to the bullpen, so the Mets appear to have faith in him to continue holding down a rotation spot despite a rough July. Friday's outing was his first win in five starts this month, and he's allowed 15 runs (14 earned) over 25.2 innings in that span. The 32-year-old is at a 3.40 ERA despite a 1.28 WHIP and 88:44 K:BB through 113.2 innings across 21 starts. He is tentatively projected for a road start in San Diego next week.

  • Logan Webb SP | SF

    Giants' Logan Webb: Struggles again versus Mets

    Webb (9-8) allowed six runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out four over four innings to take the loss versus the Mets on Friday.

    This matched Webb's shortest start of the year, and it's the second time in three outings he's allowed six earned runs. Over that span, he's given up 16 runs in 15.1 innings, an unusual stretch of poor performances for the ace right-hander. Webb is now at a 3.38 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 144:30 K:BB through 135.2 innings across 22 starts. He had been pitching at a career-best level through the end of June, so this could simply be a bit of regression, especially against a tough sequence of opponents (Dodgers, Blue Jays and Mets). Webb will look to right the ship in his next start, which is projected to be a favorable home matchup versus the Pirates next week.

  • Bryan Woo SP | SEA

    Mariners' Bryan Woo: Steady in no-decision

    Woo allowed two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out six over six innings in a no-decision versus the Angels on Friday.

    Woo allowed a two-run double to Jo Adell in the first inning but settled in from there. While he went a third start in a row without a win, Woo was able to bounce back pretty well after getting tagged for five runs (four earned) over six innings in his last start versus the Astros. The right-hander continues to be one of the steadiest innings-eating pitchers in the majors -- he still has yet to have a start shorter than six innings this season. He's maintained a 2.91 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 121:24 K:BB across 126.2 innings over 20 starts. His next outing is projected to be on the road versus the Athletics next week.

  • Jose Soriano RP | LAA

    Angels' Jose Soriano: Turns in quality start

    Soriano allowed two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out five over six innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Friday.

    Soriano gave up two home runs to Julio Rodriguez, but both were solo shots. This was Soriano's second quality start in a row, and while he's allowed three homers over those games, he's given up just four runs in 13 innings. For the season, he's at a 3.79 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 108:58 K:BB through 126 innings across 22 starts. The 26-year-old has already blown past his previous career high of 113 innings from last season, and he experienced arm fatigue last August, so it'll be important to keep an eye on how he holds up for the last two months of 2025. He's tentatively scheduled for a home start versus the Rangers next week.

  • Zack Littell SP | CIN

    Rays' Zack Littell: Tagged for five runs during loss

    Littell (8-8) took the loss Friday against the Reds, allowing five runs on 10 hits over six innings. He struck out two and didn't issue a walk.

    Littell was hurt by the long ball in Friday's loss, giving up a solo homer to Tyler Stephenson in the second inning and a two-run shot to TJ Friedl in the sixth. The five earned runs marked the 29-year-old's highest total allowed since April 10, snapping what had been a strong stretch. Entering the outing, Littell had posted a 2.43 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 22:6 K:BB across 29.2 innings in his last five outings. The right-hander will aim to return to that form in his next start, scheduled to be against the Yankees.

  • Reds' Nick Martinez: Grabs ninth win

    Martinez (9-9) earned the win Friday against the Rays, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out five over five innings.

    Martinez extended his recent run of success Friday, limiting Tampa Bay to notch his fifth win in his last six starts. The 34-year-old has been dependable during that stretch, compiling a 3.30 ERA across those five victories. While Martinez doesn't generate a heap of strikeouts, he's consistently provided quality innings when called upon. The right-hander will carry a 4.69 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 86:29 K:BB into his next start, which is projected to be a tougher test next week on the road against the Dodgers.
