  • Kodai Senga SP | NYM

    Mets' Kodai Senga: Allows one hit in rehab start

    Senga (spine/arm) allowed one run on one hit and a walk while striking out five batters over six innings in Thursday's rehab start with Double-A Binghamton, Michael Mayer of MetsmerizedOnline.com reports.

    Senga was on the mound for the fourth start of his minor-league rehab assignment, toeing the rubber two days later than initially expected after a flare up of ulnar nerve irritation in his right arm earlier in the week. The right-hander delivered his best performance of the rehab assignment, tossing 51 of his 75 total pitches for strikes. The Mets will likely wait and see how Senga's body responds to Thursday's workload before deciding what the next steps are in his recovery.

  • Anthony Kay SP | CHW

    White Sox's Anthony Kay: Contest postponed Thursday

    Kay won't pitch Thursday against Atlanta since the game was postponed due to rain.

    Kay was set to start Thursday's series finale against Atlanta, but he will now likely take the mound in Friday's series opener against the Dodgers. The left-hander is coming off of a disappointing outing against the Phillies on June 5, allowing six runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out four batters over four innings.

  • Martin Perez SP | ATL

    Braves' Martin Perez: Game postponed due to weather

    Perez won't start as scheduled Thursday against the White Sox since the game was postponed due to rain.

    Perez should instead take the mound this weekend against the Mets. The southpaw has posted a 3.45 ERA and 1.21 WHIP with nine strikeouts over 15.2 frames in his last three outings, and he owns a 4-0 record and 3.09 ERA over 43.2 career innings against the Mets.

  • Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Exits early with potential injury

    Wrobleski exited Thursday's contest against the Pirates in the fifth inning due to an apparent injury, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

    Wrobleski took a line drive off his thigh with two outs in the bottom of the fifth frame, and although he attempted to cover the bag on what ended up being a single for Bryan Reynolds, manager Dave Roberts ultimately decided to remove the pitcher. The southpaw finished his day having tossed 4.2 innings, giving up four runs on six hits and two walks while striking out one batter. More information on Wrobleski's status will likely be provided in the near future.

  • Shane Bieber SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Shane Bieber: Scoreless start in rehab outing

    Bieber (elbow) tossed six scoreless innings Thursday, allowing five hits and a walk while striking out five batters in a rehab outing with Triple-A Buffalo, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

    Bieber was making his second start with Buffalo, and he was far more successful this time around, notching 46 strikes over 62 total pitches after surrendering eight runs over his prior two rehab outings. The right-hander was able to average 91.4 mph on his fastball, peaking at 93 mph on the day. Bieber may need just one more rehab start before making his 2026 debut with the Blue Jays.

  • Ryan Feltner SP | COL

    Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Begins strong but fades in loss

    Feltner (2-2) took the loss against the Cubs on Thursday, allowing six runs on four hits and three walks while striking out three batters over 4.1 innings.

    Feltner was perfect through three frames, but the bottom fell out thereafter. Chicago got to him for four runs on four hits and a walk in the fourth inning, with the big hit being a grand slam off the bat of Seiya Suzuki. Feltner returned for the fifth and issued two walks while retiring just one batter, and both runners put on base came around to score after his departure. It was a disappointing outcome after Feltner looked like he might be turning a major corner over his previous two outings, during which he gave up just one run over 12 frames. He'll look to get back on track in his next start, which is tentatively scheduled for a rematch against the Cubs in Chicago.

  • Edward Cabrera SP | CHC

    Cubs' Edward Cabrera: Rebounds for fourth victory

    Cabrera (4-3) notched the win over Colorado on Thursday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five batters over 5.1 innings.

    After being pounded by the Giants for eight runs over 3.2 frames in his first start back from the injured list in his previous outing, Cabrera looked better against the Rockies. The right-hander did give up two more homers, but they were both solo shots, and Colorado couldn't put any other runs on the board. Cabrera tossed 51 of 83 pitches for strikes and secured his first victory since April 28. The five long balls he's allowed across his past two appearances are certainly a concern, but Cabrera is lined up for a more promising matchup in his next start, which is scheduled to be a rematch against the Rockies -- this time in Chicago.

  • Royals' Michael Wacha: Finishes strong after early trouble

    Wacha (4-5) allowed four runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out two batters over seven innings in a loss against Texas on Thursday.

    Wacha looked like he could be in for a short outing after giving up three runs on five hits over the first three innings. The veteran righty was able to settle down thereafter and surrendered only one more run, but the Royals' offense was never able to catch up. Wacha notched just seven whiffs on 102 pitches and tied a season low with two punchouts, but he at least managed to spare a thin KC bullpen by covering seven frames. He has once again provided a reliable arm for the Royals, posting a 3.58 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 69:27 K:BB through 88 innings across 14 starts.

  • Kumar Rocker SP | TEX

    Rangers' Kumar Rocker: Doesn't finish fifth frame

    Rocker allowed two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out three batters over 4.2 innings in a no-decision against Kansas City on Thursday.

    Rocker was great through three innings, holding the Royals scoreless on one hit. However, the right-hander faded in the fourth, yielding two runs on three hits and a walk. Rocker returned for the fifth and retired the first two batters he faced before giving up a Bobby Witt single and subsequently being pulled. Though it was far from a disastrous outing, Thursday marked the first time since May 8 that Rocker was unable to complete five frames. He holds a 3.56 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 52:28 K:BB over 65.2 innings spanning 13 appearances (12 starts).

  • Merrill Kelly SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Merrill Kelly: Pitches well but gets no support

    Kelly (5-5) took the loss against Miami on Thursday, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out one batter over six innings.

    Kelly didn't allow any extra-base hits and was efficient in getting through six frames on 74 pitches. However, the two runs he allowed were enough to saddle him with the loss, as Arizona managed just three hits and no runs against five Marlins hurlers. Kelly did notch his fifth quality start of the campaign and rebounded well after yielding seven runs over five innings against Washington in his previous outing. He'll carry a 5.46 ERA and 1.45 WHIP into his next start, which is scheduled to be at home against the Angels.
