  • Matthew Boyd SP | CLE

    Guardians' Matthew Boyd: Early exit in no-decision

    Boyd escaped with a no-decision in Monday's 4-3 win over the Twins, giving up three runs (two earned) on five hits and three walks over 2.2 innings. He struck out five.

    The veteran southpaw got the hook after 64 pitches (39 strikes) when four straight batters reached base in the third inning thanks to two walks and two hard-hit singles. Boyd has failed to last five innings in either of his last two outings, but he still has yet to allow more than three earned runs in any of his seven starts since joining the Guardians' rotation, delivering a 2.52 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 40:10 K:BB through 35.2 innings. He'll look to bounce back in his next start, which is scheduled to come on the road this weekend in St. Louis.

  • Pablo Lopez SP | MIN

    Twins' Pablo Lopez: Quality start streak at seven

    Lopez came away with a no-decision in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Guardians, giving up two runs on eight hits and two walks over 6.1 innings. He struck out four.

    The right-hander got staked to a 3-0 lead in the third inning and left the mound with the Twins still ahead, but Griffin Jax melted down in the eighth to deny Lopez his 16th win of the year. The quality start was Lopez's 18th of the season and seventh straight, a stretch in which he's posted a 1.35 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 43:8 K:BB through 46.2 innings. He lines up for his next outing this weekend in Boston as Minnesota tries to hang onto a wild-card spot in the American League.

  • Sean Burke SP | CHW

    White Sox's Sean Burke: Nabs another start

    Burke is scheduled to start Sunday's game against the Padres in San Diego.

    The rookie right-hander will receive a second turn through the White Sox rotation after he impressed in his first MLB start this past Sunday, holding the Athletics to two runs and striking out five over five innings en route to grabbing the win. For his second start, Burke will get a tough test against a Padres lineup that has produced a 117 wRC+ against right-handed pitching this season.

  • Hunter Greene SP | CIN

    Reds' Hunter Greene: Scheduled for live batting practice

    Green (elbow) is expected to throw a live batting practice session Tuesday, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

    Green reported feeling good following a similar throwing session last week. It's possible he returns in time to make two starts before the end of the season.

  • Astros' Spencer Arrighetti: Takes low-scoring loss

    Arrighetti (7-13) allowed two runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out three over five innings, taking the loss versus the Padres on Monday.

    Arrighetti allowed an RBI double to Manny Machado in the first inning and a solo home run to Jackson Merrill in the fourth. This was Arrighetti's third straight outing without a win, though he's limited opponents to two runs or fewer in four of his last five starts. The rookie right-hander is now at a 4.68 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 161:62 K:BB through 136.2 innings over 27 starts. His next start is projected to be at home versus the Angels.

  • Yu Darvish SP | SD

    Padres' Yu Darvish: Quiets Astros for six innings

    Darvish (6-3) allowed three hits and two walks while striking out three over six scoreless innings to earn the win over the Astros on Monday.

    This was the best of Darvish's three starts since he returned from an extended absence due to elbow inflammation and a personal matter. This was his fifth scoreless outing of the season. The veteran right-hander trimmed his ERA to 3.21 with a 1.11 WHIP and 65:19 K:BB over 70 innings across 14 starts. Darvish's next start is projected to be at home in a favorable matchup versus the White Sox.

  • Reid Detmers SP | LAA

    Angels' Reid Detmers: Falters against White Sox

    Detmers (4-7) allowed seven runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out six over 5.1 innings to take the loss Monday versus the White Sox.

    Andrew Benintendi and Andrew Vaughn went back-to-back in the first inning, and Detmers continued to struggle after that. The White Sox got to him for three runs in the second and light-hitting Lenyn Sosa added a solo shot in the third. Given the quality of the opponent, this was a large step back for Detmers, who had posted quality starts in his first two outings back in the majors. He's at a 6.05 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 94:34 K:BB through 80.1 innings over 15 starts. With Caden Dana sent down Monday, the Angels are likely to go with a five-man rotation over the final two weeks of the season. Detmers' next outing is projected to be in Houston.

  • White Sox's Jonathan Cannon: Allows two homers in win

    Cannon (4-10) allowed four runs on three hits and two walks while striking out seven over 6.2 innings to earn the win over the Angels on Monday.

    Cannon gave up solo home runs to Eric Wagaman and Charles Leblanc, and the Angels scraped together two more runs in the seventh to chase Cannon from the game. While the rookie right-hander has allowed at least three runs in six of his last eight starts, he's picked up three wins in that span as one of the White Sox's more effective starters. He's at a 4.61 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 81:36 K:BB through 113.1 innings over 21 appearances (19 starts) this season. He's projected to make his next start at San Diego.

  • Merrill Kelly SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Merrill Kelly: Solid outing in no decision

    Kelly came away with a no decision in Monday's loss to the Rockies. He allowed one run on two hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out five.

    Kelly exited his previous start against the Rangers due to a hamstring injury but was able to get through six innings with relative ease on Monday. Kelly came into the start with a 5.85 ERA over six starts since returning from the injured list Aug. 11, but he now has two quality starts in his last three appearances. The 35-year-old will carry a 4.00 ERA and 1.19 WHIP into his next start against the Brewers.

  • Rockies' Antonio Senzatela: Goes three innings in season debut

    Senzatala (elbow) came away with a no-decision in Monday's 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks. He struck out two over three innings while allowing two earned runs on four hits and two walks.

    After completing his recovery from the Tommy John procedure he underwent last July, Senzatela made his 2024 debut for the Rockies. He got off to a rough start, allowing a triple and home run to the first two batters he faced. However, Senzatela settled in nicely after that to get through three innings, though it took him 67 pitches to record his nine outs. He could see his workload ramp up while he likely makes two more starts before season's end.
