  • Brandon Pfaadt SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Brandon Pfaadt: Decent in no-decision

    Pfaadt allowed three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out four over six innings in a no-decision Tuesday versus the Dodgers.

    Pfaadt had some trouble against Teoscar Hernandez, who hit a solo home run and a two-run triple off the Arizona righty. Other than that, it was a fine performance for Pfaadt, who has not taken a loss in his last seven outings. He's allowed 21 runs over 39.2 innings in that span, but he's also posted a 34:7 K:BB, showing some improvements in control down the stretch. For the season, he has a 5.00 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 142:37 K:BB through 172.2 innings across 32 starts.

  • Brady Singer SP | CIN

    Reds' Brady Singer: Surrenders four runs

    Singer (14-11) yielded four runs on seven hits over 5.1 innings Tuesday, striking out three and taking a loss against the Pirates.

    All four runs against Singer came in the second inning, capped off by Oneil Cruz's two-run blast. After a stretch of six consecutive quality starts, Singer has failed to complete six innings in either of his last two appearances. Tuesday was the first time he gave up more than three runs in an outing since Aug. 7, which was also against the Pirates. Singer now owns a 3.95 ERA with a 158:59 K:BB through 166.1 frames. He's expected to take the mound in Milwaukee this weekend for his final start of the regular season.

  • Johan Oviedo SP | BOS

    Pirates' Johan Oviedo: Fans seven in no-decision

    Oviedo did not factor in the decision during Tuesday's win over the Reds. He allowed two runs on two hits and three walks over 4.2 innings while striking out seven.

    Oviedo coughed up a two-run shot to Elly De La Cruz in the second inning but otherwise didn't face much trouble. It was Oviedo's fifth straight time issuing three walks, and he's done so in six of his eight starts this year. However, he set new season bests with seven punchouts and 12 swinging strikes, including four with his fastball. Oviedo is not expected to make another start this season, which means he will likely end the year with a 3.57 ERA and a 39:20 K:BB through 35.1 frames. He did not make his season debut until Aug. 4 after recovering from Tommy John surgery.

  • Dean Kremer SP | BAL

    Orioles' Dean Kremer: Cruises to victory

    Kremer (11-10) yielded one hit over 6.1 scoreless innings Tuesday, striking out four and earning a win over the Rays.

    Kremer retired the first nine batters he faced before giving up a single to Chandler Simpson in the fourth inning. Kremer faced no trouble from Tampa Bay's lineup as he picked up his first quality start since Aug. 17 and his second straight win. He was tagged with a combined 13 earned runs in his final two starts of August but has since given up just two runs in his last 15 frames, lowering his season ERA from 4.52 to 4.23 in the process. Kremer is expected to end his season with a 140:44 K:BB through 168 innings.

  • Ryan Pepiot RP | TB

    Rays' Ryan Pepiot: Chased early in loss

    Pepiot (11-12) allowed three runs on three hits and a walk over three innings Tuesday, striking out three and taking a loss against Baltimore.

    Pepiot gave up a pair of runs in the first inning and another in the third. After six straight outings of at least five frames, he's combined to go just 4.2 innings over his last two appearances. During that stretch, his season ERA has jumped from 3.59 to 3.86. On the bright side, he has not allowed a home run in six consecutive outings. Pepiot took losses in back-to-back starts for the first time since July 13 and 20. He now owns a 167:61 K:BB through 167.2 innings after what is expected to be his final start of the 2025 campaign.

  • Tarik Skubal SP | DET

    Tigers' Tarik Skubal: Fans eight in loss

    Skubal (13-6) allowed three runs (one earned) on four hits and three walks over six innings Tuesday, striking out eight and taking a loss against Cleveland.

    Skubal rolled through five shutout frames before things unraveled in the sixth inning. The Guardians tallied just two infield singles, but an error and several other mistakes -- including a wild pitch and a balk -- allowed three runs to cross home. Still, Skubal delivered his sixth quality start in his last seven appearances. During that stretch, he's produced a 1.80 ERA with a 54:12 K:BB through 50 innings. For the year, the superstar southpaw owns a 2.21 ERA and a 241:33 K:BB across 195.1 innings. Skubal may start this weekend in Boston if necessary; if the Tigers have already secured a playoff spot by that point, they may elect to save him for the postseason.

  • Gavin Williams SP | CLE

    Guardians' Gavin Williams: Punches out 12

    Williams (12-5) allowed two runs on four hits and two walks over six innings Tuesday, striking out 12 and earning a win over the Tigers.

    Williams gave up one run through five frames before serving up a solo homer to Riley Greene in the sixth inning. Williams was in line for the loss before the Guardians tallied three runs in the bottom of the inning. He's won four straight decisions, posting a 1.74 ERA over five starts during that stretch. The 26-year-old forced 18 whiffs on 91 total pitches Tuesday, including seven with his curveball and six with the sweeper. Williams now owns a 3.06 ERA with a 173:83 K:BB through 167.2 innings this season. He's tentatively scheduled to make his final regular-season start this weekend at home against the Rangers.

  • Cade Horton P | CHC

    Cubs' Cade Horton: Pulled with back tightness

    Horton was removed from his start Tuesday against the Mets due to back tightness, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Horton made it through three innings of one-run ball Tuesday before his back forced him to make an early exit. His abbreviated outing will likely be his final appearance in the regular season, giving the rookie right-hander a 2.67 ERA and 1.08 WHIP through 118 innings across 23 appearances. As long as his back injury proves to be minor, Horton will certainly be in the running to start Game 1 of the NL Wild Card Series next week.

  • Roki Sasaki P | LAD

    Dodgers' Roki Sasaki: Returning Wednesday

    The Dodgers will reinstate Sasaki (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list Wednesday, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

    Sasaki hasn't pitched in the majors since May due to a right shoulder impingement. He's been making rehab appearances at Triple-A Oklahoma City since mid-August, however, posting a 6.10 ERA and 1.60 WHIP alongside a 19:13 K:BB through 20.2 innings. Once activated, the 23-year-old righty is expected to work out of the bullpen -- likely as a middle reliever, considering he carries a 4.72 ERA in 34.1 innings with the Dodgers this season.

  • Bryan Woo SP | SEA

    Mariners' Bryan Woo: Next start delayed

    Woo (pectoral) won't start in his usual rotation spot Thursday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

    General manager Justin Hollander said Tuesday that the team still doesn't plan to place Woo on the injured list, and that the right-hander will instead play catch Wednesday or Thursday rather than start a game against the Rockies. A better idea of how far away the 25-year-old is from returning will likely emerge after his throwing session.
