  • Davis Martin SP | CHW

    White Sox's Davis Martin: No run support in loss

    Martin (0-5) took the loss Tuesday against the Angels, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out four over five innings.

    Martin retired the first six batters he faced but was tagged for a run in each of the next three innings while allowing multiple base hits in each of those innings as well. His seven hits allowed tied a season-worst mark and he's now allowed at least three runs in three of his past four starts. Martin owns a 4.27 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 43:18 K:BB in 46.1 innings this season and lines up for a rematch against the Angels next week.

  • Tanner Houck SP | BOS

    Red Sox's Tanner Houck: Cleared to start Wednesday

    Red Sox manager Alex Cora confirmed that Houck (shoulder) will start Wednesday against the Rays, MLB.com reports.

    The right-hander will be making his first start since Sept. 4 after he had been dealing with fatigue in his right shoulder. Before his recent absence, Houck had gone 0-4 with a 4.78 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 38:21 K:BB in 52.2 innings in nine starts since the All-Star break.

  • Chris Bassitt SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Chris Bassitt: Let down by defense

    Bassitt allowed seven runs (one earned) on six hits and three walks while striking out two over 3.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Rangers on Tuesday.

    A pair of Toronto errors, including one by Bassitt himself, helped minimize the damage to his ERA. The Blue Jays would recover from the deficit Bassitt created, which helped him avoid taking the loss. Still, he wasn't very sharp with just 48 of his 80 pitches landing for strikes. Since the All-Star break, he's been charged with four or more runs in six of his 11 outings, alternating between decent and poor performances the whole time. The right-hander is now at a 4.16 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 166:63 K:BB through 166.2 innings over 30 starts this season. Bassitt's next start is projected to be on the road versus the Rays.

  • Nathan Eovaldi SP | TEX

    Rangers' Nathan Eovaldi: Lit up in no-decision

    Eovaldi allowed seven runs on 11 hits and two walks while striking out four over 4.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Blue Jays on Tuesday.

    The two teams traded rallies in the contest -- Eovaldi was tagged for four runs in the fifth inning just after the Rangers had established a lead. This was one of Eovaldi's worst performances of the year, as the seven runs and 11 hits allowed were both season highs. His ERA is up to 3.96 with a 1.13 WHIP and 154:38 K:BB through 156.2 innings over 27 starts. He posted four straight quality starts from Aug. 17 to Sept. 4, but he's struggled in two straight outings. He'll look to get back on track in his next projected start, which is expected to be in Oakland with the Rangers seemingly shifting to a six-man rotation to close out the campaign.

  • Diamondbacks' Jordan Montgomery: Loses in return to rotation

    Montgomery (8-7) allowed three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four over 4.2 innings to take the loss versus the Rockies on Tuesday.

    Montgomery made his last four appearances out of the bullpen, posting middling results. He had two scoreless outings, but he allowed seven runs across his other two games in that span. The veteran southpaw has struggled to a 6.23 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 77:42 K:BB through 112.2 innings over 24 appearances (20 starts) this year. Montgomery should get at least one more start due to the absence of Ryne Nelson (shoulder), with that outing projected to be in Milwaukee.

  • Ryan Feltner SP | COL

    Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Cruises to win

    Feltner (3-10) allowed one run on five hits and two walks while striking out two over 6.2 innings to earn the win over the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

    Feltner has had limited success this year, but he's allowed more than two runs just once in five starts since he returned from a shoulder injury. That span also includes two of his three wins on the year. Feltner has a 4.73 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 129:49 K:BB through 150.1 innings over 28 starts this year. His next start is projected to be at home versus the Cardinals.

  • Bailey Falter SP | PIT

    Pirates' Bailey Falter: One out shy of quality start

    Falter (8-8) allowed two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out three over 5.2 innings, taking the loss Tuesday versus the Cardinals.

    Falter had gone 4-0 with a 4.46 ERA over his last eight outings. He was not the Pirates' problem Tuesday -- a lack of offense was the cause of this loss. For the season, Falter has a 4.15 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 92:41 K:BB across 134.1 innings over 26 starts. He's tentatively projected to make his next start at home versus the Brewers as he continues to audition for a spot in the Pirates' 2025 rotation.

  • Marlins' Darren McCaughan: Early exit vs. Dodgers

    McCaughan didn't factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing five runs on six hits and a walk over 3.2 innings. He struck out four.

    McCaughan got through the first two innings unscathed before he was tagged for four runs in the third on a Shohei Ohtani homer and a Max Muncy double. He'd allow a fifth run on a Miguel Rojas solo shot in the fourth. McCaughan has yet to make it past the fifth inning in his four starts with the Marlins. His ERA is up to 7.33 with a 1.67 WHIP and 18:7 K:BB across 27 innings. McCaughan will look for a better result in his next outing, currently scheduled for this weekend at home versus Atlanta.

  • Bobby Miller SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Bobby Miller: Struggles continue vs. Marlins

    Miller allowed four runs on seven hits and a walk across two innings in a no-decision Tuesday against Miami. He struck out two.

    It was another rough outing for Miller -- the right-hander's now allowed 17 runs across 11.1 innings in his last three starts. His ERA is up to an ugly 8.52 on the year with a 1.77 WHIP and 52:30 K:BB across 56 innings. Miller would currently line up for a home start next week against the Padres, should the Dodgers elect to give him another look in the rotation.

  • Lance Lynn SP | STL

    Cardinals' Lance Lynn: Earns win over Pirates

    Lynn (7-4) allowed a run on four hits and two walks while striking out five over six innings to earn the win over the Pirates on Tuesday.

    Lynn has looked good over two starts since returning from a knee injury. He's allowed two runs while striking out 12 over 11 innings since his return, and he was able to get the win after the Cardinals gave him some run support Tuesday. The veteran now has a 3.84 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 109:44 K:BB through 117.1 innings across 23 starts. He's projected for a road start at Colorado next week, which could be his last outing of the year if the Cardinals finish the campaign with a six-man rotation.
