  • Joe Ryan SP | MIN

    Twins' Joe Ryan: Fans 11, matching season high

    Ryan (10-4) took home the win in Sunday's victory over Colorado, allowing one run on five hits while striking out 11 over seven innings.

    Ryan continues to build on what's shaping up to be the best season of his career, tossing seven innings for the fifth time this year. The right-hander missed bats consistently, tying his season high with 11 strikeouts, and limited damage, with his lone blemish coming via a solo homer to Mickey Moniak in the third inning. Ryan has been lights-out over his last five outings, sporting a 1.45 ERA with a sharp 36:3 K:BB across 31 innings. Now sitting at a 2.63 ERA and 0.90 WHIP on the season, the 29-year-old will look to keep rolling in his next start, scheduled for Saturday against the Nationals.

  • Marcus Stroman SP | NYY

    Yankees' Marcus Stroman: Sharp in second win

    Stroman (2-1) earned the win Sunday over Atlanta, allowing one run on five hits and no walks over six innings. He struck out four.

    Stroman delivered his first quality start of the season Sunday -- he'd blank Atlanta for five innings before eventually giving up a lone run on a Matt Olson homer in the sixth. The 34-year-old Stroman's pitched well since rejoining the Yankees in late June, posting a 3.00 ERA over four starts (15 innings) after struggling to an 11.57 ERA in his first three starts (9.1 innings) in April. Stroman is currently scheduled to face the Phillies at home his next time out.

  • Blake Snell SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Blake Snell: Throws 58 pitches in rehab start

    Snell (shoulder) tossed four innings in a rehab appearance with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday, allowing one run on four hits and one walk while striking out six batters.

    Snell's third rehab outing was his longest to date -- he completed two frames in his first start and three innings in his second. The left-hander threw 58 pitches (38 strikes) Sunday, so he's getting closer to logging a starter's workload. Despite a long layoff (his most recent MLB outing was April 2), Snell has been very effective during his rehab stint, giving up just two runs while posting a 17:1 K:BB over nine innings. He could be back with the Dodgers before the end of July.

  • Merrill Kelly SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Merrill Kelly: Works around four walks in win

    Kelly (9-5) earned the win Sunday against St. Louis, yielding two runs on three hits and four walks over six innings. He struck out five.

    Despite issuing four free passes for the second consecutive outing, Kelly managed to notch his 12th quality start with this 97-pitch performance. The 36-year-old limited the Cardinals to just one extra-base hit, a Victor Scott double in the third that turned into the first run, as he made his sixth straight start allowing three or fewer runs. Kelly will make an attractive trade chip for Arizona at the upcoming deadline because he's pitched to a 2.79 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 115:30 K:BB across 113 innings since a nine-run disaster at the Yankees on April 3. The veteran righty currently lines up for a juicy matchup at Pittsburgh next weekend.

  • Ryan Pepiot RP | TB

    Rays' Ryan Pepiot: Falls to Baltimore

    Pepiot (6-8) took the loss Sunday against the Orioles, allowing five runs on six hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out eight.

    Pepiot was plagued by the home-run ball Sunday -- he'd give up three solo shots, matching a season high, en route to a second straight loss. The 27-year-old Pepiot had posted a 2.79 ERA in 10 starts (58 innings) prior to the All-Star break. Overall, his ERA sits at 3.59 with a 1.16 WHIP and an impressive 118:38 K:BB through 21 starts (120.1 innings) this season. Pepiot is currently slated to face the Reds on the road in his next outing.

  • Miles Mikolas SP | WAS

    Cardinals' Miles Mikolas: Coughs up five runs in loss

    Mikolas (5-7) suffered the loss Sunday at Arizona, allowing five runs on four hits and two walks over four innings with three strikeouts.

    The veteran right-hander was the victim of two Eugenio Suarez homers, a three-run blast in the first and a solo shot in the third, as he conceded five or more runs for the third time in his last four outings. Mikolas has been in a tailspin over his last nine starts, going 1-5 with a 7.09 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 38:7 K:BB across 45.2 frames while yielding 14 long balls. Through 97 total innings, he's pitched to a 5.20 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 69:23 K:BB, making him unviable in virtually all fantasy leagues. He's currently slated to draw his next start against the Padres at home next weekend.

  • Roki Sasaki P | LAD

    Dodgers' Roki Sasaki: Reaching 90 mph in bullpens

    Sasaki (shoulder) has been reaching 90 mph with his fastball in recent bullpen sessions, per MLB.com.

    Though Sasaki is capable of touching triple digits with his heater when he's fully ramped up, this update nonetheless indicates that the rookie right-hander is making progress in his recovery from a right shoulder impingement. Sasaki is said to be pain-free, though he's been throwing off a mound for only about a week and has yet to face live hitters, so he likely remains weeks away from a return. Should he continue to progress without any setbacks, Sasaki could be back with the Dodgers in late August.

  • Trevor Rogers SP | BAL

    Orioles' Trevor Rogers: Keeps rolling Sunday

    Rogers (3-1) earned the win Sunday against the Rays, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out three.

    It's the third straight quality start for Rogers, who's been instrumental in stabilizing an injury-riddled Baltimore rotation since he was recalled in late May. The southpaw's posted a pristine 1.74 ERA with a 0.87 WHIP and 35:12 K:BB through seven starts (41.1 innings) this season. Rogers will look to keep rolling in his next outing, currently scheduled for next week at home against the Rockies.

  • Robbie Ray SP | SF

    Giants' Robbie Ray: Stumbles vs. Jays

    Ray (9-4) took the loss Sunday against Toronto, allowing five runs on five hits and five walks across 4.1 innings. He struck out three.

    It was a tough outing for Ray, who gave up a season-high five runs while matching another season high with five walks. The veteran left-hander had been pitching well prior to the All-Star break, working to a 2.02 ERA in his previous four starts (26.2 innings). Overall, Ray sports a 2.92 ERA with a 1.13 WHIP and 131 strikeouts through 21 starts (123.1 innings) this season. He'll look to get back on track his next time out, currently scheduled to come next week at home against the Mets.

  • Yankees' Cam Schlittler: On track to start Tuesday

    Schlittler (arm) said he felt good after Saturday's bullpen session and is scheduled to start Tuesday against the Blue Jays, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

    The right-hander was originally scheduled to start Friday's second-half opener against Atlanta, but he was pushed back due to arm soreness. Schlittler didn't have any issues during the bullpen session, clearing the way for him to rejoin the starting rotation during the upcoming week. The 24-year-old gave up three earned runs with a 7:2 K:BB over 5.1 frames in his major-league debut July 9 versus Seattle.
