  • Lance Lynn SP | STL

    White Sox's Lance Lynn: Lands on bereavement list

    Lynn was placed on the bereavement list Saturday.

    Players may spend between three and seven days on the bereavement list. Lynn last pitched Thursday, so he's expected to make his next start next week against the Royals, per James Fegan of The Athletic.

  • Davis Martin SP | CHW

    White Sox's Davis Martin: Recalled prior to start

    Martin was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte prior to Saturday's start against the Diamondbacks.

    Martin hasn't made a major-league start since early August but will rejoin the big-league club after Michael Kopech (knee) was placed on the 15-day injured list this week. Martin has posted a 4.25 ERA and 1.19 WHIP in 36 innings over eight appearances (four starts) in the majors this year, and it's possible that he remains in the rotation if he performs well Saturday.

  • Reid Detmers SP | LAA

    Angels' Reid Detmers: Blanks Jays for fifth win

    Detmers (5-4) picked up the win in Friday's 12-0 rout of the Blue Jays, allowing four hits and three walks over 5.1 scoreless innings. He struck out five.

    The 23-year-old southpaw dealt with traffic on the bases in each of the first three innings but escaped without any damage as the Angels built a 7-0 lead, and Detmers cruised from that point on. He exited after 105 pitches (66 strikes). Over 33.2 innings since the All-Star break, he sports a 2.14 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 42:14 K:BB while winning three of his six starts.

  • Cade Cavalli SP | WAS

    Nationals' Cade Cavalli: Shows nerves in MLB debut

    Cavalli (0-1) took the loss Friday as the Nationals were downed 7-3 by the Reds, coughing up seven runs on six hits, two walks and three hit batsmen over 4.1 innings. He struck out six.

    Making his big-league debut, Cavalli flashed his potential with the Ks, but the 24-year-old also showed his nervousness as his control and command wavered badly. He threw 57 of 99 pitches for strikes before exiting, and while this wasn't an ideal way to begin a career, the rebuilding Nats will likely keep Cavalli around and let their top pitching prospect get acclimated to the majors over the next handful of weeks.

  • Tyler Anderson SP | LAA

    Dodgers' Tyler Anderson: No-decision against Miami

    Anderson didn't factor into the decision in Friday's extra-inning win over the Marlins, giving up two runs (one earned) on three hits and two walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out four.

    The Dodgers committed three errors on the night, one of which contributed to a two-run sixth inning by Miami that chased Anderson from the game. The veteran southpaw has been sharp since the All-Star break, posting a 2.08 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 30:13 K:BB through 43.1 innings over seven outings with five quality starts.

  • Nathan Eovaldi SP | TEX

    Red Sox's Nathan Eovaldi: Throws 25-pitch bullpen

    Eovaldi (shoulder) threw 25 pitches during a bullpen session Friday, MLB.com reports.

    Eovaldi resumed throwing Wednesday and felt good while throwing all five of his pitches during Friday's throwing session. The right-hander will likely throw another side session in the coming days, and manager Alex Cora expects Eovaldi to make at least one rehab start prior to returning from the injured list.

  • Kris Bubic SP | LAD

    Royals' Kris Bubic: Tagged for six runs

    Bubic (2-9) took the loss to the Padres on Friday, allowing six runs on nine hits while striking out three and walking one over four innings.

    Bubic picked up his ninth loss of the year after a six-run clunker Friday. He threw 42 of 64 pitches for strikes and was burned mostly by singles and doubles. Two of Bubic's six earned runs came on solo shots in the third inning. He also allowed an RBI single, a two-run double and another double that sent a runner home. Over his last three games, the lefty has allowed 27 hits, 14 earned runs and six walks over 13.1 innings, while striking out 10 batters. Bubic's struggles have resulted in a 5.62 ERA on the season.

  • Joe Musgrove SP | SD

    Padres' Joe Musgrove: Allows eight hits

    Musgrove did not factor into the decision against the Royals on Friday, allowing five runs (two earned) on eight hits while striking out two and walking one over 3.2 innings.

    Musgrove allowed five runs Friday, but he was credited with only two earned runs due to two errors in a four-run, five-hit fourth inning. The five-run game comes off the heels of three consecutive quality starts where he had 16 total strikeouts. His ERA moved up slightly from 2.91 to 2.96 after the game.

  • Johnny Cueto SP | LAA

    White Sox's Johnny Cueto: Tagged for seven runs

    Cueto (6-6) took the loss to the Diamondbacks on Friday, allowing seven runs on five hits while striking out four and walking two over five innings.

    Cueto was knocked around for seven runs in Friday's contest in his worst game of the season. The righty was on a streak of 10 quality starts until Friday's clunker. He was burned for two home runs, a two-RBI double and another run on a sac fly. Cueto's still impressive ERA moved from 2.58 to 2.98.

  • Tommy Henry SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Tommy Henry: Strikes out three in win

    Henry (3-2) earned the win against the White Sox on Friday, allowing one run on four hits while striking out three and walking three over five innings.

    Henry threw 54 of 86 pitches for strikes across five frames Friday. He allowed three walks and four hits but managed to limit the damage to just one earned run on an Elvis Andrus groundout that scored Eloy Jimenez in the fourth inning. Since being called up to start Aug. 3, Henry has picked up one quality start and has allowed 10 runs across 27.2 innings pitched, resulting in a 3.25 ERA.
