  • Brewers' Robert Gasser: Yields two runs in season debut

    Gasser (0-1) allowed two runs on one hit and two walks over three innings Sunday, striking out two and taking a loss against St. Louis.

    Gasser threw a pair of scoreless frames before serving up a two-run shot to Ivan Herrera in the third inning. It was Gasser's first MLB appearance since undergoing Tommy John surgery in June 2024. He posted an impressive 2.57 ERA over 28 MLB innings last season before the injury. This year, he produced a 2.37 ERA through 38 innings while rehabbing across multiple minor-league levels. It's unclear how the Brewers plan to use Gasser down the stretch or in the postseason.

  • Cardinals' Matthew Liberatore: Fans six in win

    Liberatore (8-12) allowed a run on five hits and a walk over five innings Sunday, striking out six and earning a win over the Brewers.

    Liberatore worked through four scoreless frames before the Brewers scratched a run across in the fifth inning. He's 2-1 over his last four outings after going 0-5 with a 5.77 ERA over his previous nine starts. Liberatore forced nine whiffs on 85 total pitches Sunday; he has not generated double-digit swinging strikes in any outing since June 23. The 25-year-old southpaw owns a 4.21 ERA with a 122:40 K:BB through 151.2 innings. Liberatore's final start of 2025 is projected to be a road matchup with the Cubs next weekend.

  • Sean Burke P | CHW

    White Sox's Sean Burke: Fans four in loss

    Burke (4-11) yielded three runs (two earned) on six hits over four innings Sunday, striking out four and taking a loss against the Padres.

    Burke coughed up a pair of runs in the second inning before serving up a solo homer to Fernando Tatis in the third. It was Burke's fifth straight outing of fewer than five innings pitched. On the bright side, he did not walk a batter Sunday after issuing 12 free passes over 15.1 frames in his previous four starts. He now owns a 4.29 ERA with a 123:62 K:BB through 130 innings this season. Burke's final start of 2025 is projected to be in Washington next weekend.

  • Michael King SP | SD

    Padres' Michael King: Walks four in win

    King (5-3) allowed four hits and four walks over five-plus scoreless innings Sunday, striking out four and earning a win over the White Sox.

    King worked out of multiple jams through five frames to keep the White Sox off the board. He loaded the bases with no outs in the sixth but was not charged with any runs after Adrian Morejon came in to clean up the mess. King still doesn't look like his usual self, but it was a much better performance than his last outing when he was tagged with eight runs against the Mets. The 30-year-old righty is now sporting a 3.57 ERA with a 73:24 K:BB through 70.2 innings this season. King's final regular-season start is projected to be at home next weekend against the Diamondbacks.

  • Andrew Abbott SP | CIN

    Reds' Andrew Abbott: Tosses 4.2 scoreless frames

    Abbott did not factor into the decision in Sunday's game against the Cubs, allowing five hits and one walk while striking out two across 4.2 innings.

    Abbott and the Reds' bullpen kept the Cubs off the board in Sunday's series finale, and the 26-year-old southpaw would have been in line for the win had he recorded one more out in the fifth inning. Abbott has failed to complete five innings in four of his last six starts, and over that span he has posted a 4.94 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 33:8 K:BB across 31 innings. He's slated to make his final start of the regular season next weekend on the road against the Brewers.

  • Royals' Michael Wacha: Yields six runs in loss

    Wacha (9-13) took the loss against the Blue Jays on Sunday, allowing six runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out four across five innings.

    It was another tough outing for Wacha, who gave up three runs in both the second and fifth frames and generated just seven whiffs on 89 pitches (58 strikes). The veteran right-hander had a 3.45 ERA and 1.18 WHIP over 159 innings prior to landing on the 7-day injured list due to a concussion. In his two starts since being reinstated from the IL, Wacha has allowed 13 runs on 17 hits over 7.2 innings. He's slated to make his last start of the regular season next weekend on the road against the Athletics.

  • Twins' Simeon Woods Richardson: Tosses five innings

    Woods Richardson did not factor in the decision during Sunday's win over Cleveland. He allowed two runs on three hits and two walks over five innings while striking out three.

    Woods Richardson gave up a run in each of the first two innings, including Steven Kwan's solo shot in the first. The Guardians did not record a hit against Woods Richardson after the second inning. After a stretch of four straight starts without finishing the fifth frame, he has now thrown at least five innings in four straight outings. During that span, he's produced a 3.00 ERA over 21 innings. Woods Richardson now owns a 4.27 ERA with a 98:46 K:BB across 105.1 innings this season. He's projected to make his final start of the 2025 season in Philadelphia next weekend.

  • Emmet Sheehan SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Emmet Sheehan: Strong start goes to waste

    Sheehan allowed one hit and struck out 10 without walking a batter over seven scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Giants on Sunday.

    Sheehan had another excellent outing, going at least seven frames for the third time in his last five appearances. He's given up just four runs over 31.1 innings with a 42:7 K:BB in that span, but he wasn't able to get a win after Blake Treinen had a poor performance in the eighth inning. Sheehan lowered his ERA to 2.86 with a 0.97 WHIP and 86:22 K:BB through 72.1 innings across 14 outings (11 starts) this season. He is tentatively projected for one more start in the regular season, which would be in Seattle.

  • Yankees' Cam Schlittler: Solid in no-decision

    Schlittler did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Orioles, allowing a run on three hits and a walk across 5.1 innings. He struck out six.

    Schlittler was impressive Sunday, with Baltimore's lone run coming on a Samuel Basallo homer in the fifth inning. The 24-year-old Schlittler has been inconsistent of late, though he's posted a 2.72 ERA across 36.1 innings in his last seven outings. The right-hander is tentatively lined up for a rematch with the Orioles his next time out.

  • Kyle Bradish SP | BAL

    Orioles' Kyle Bradish: Sharp again Sunday

    Bradish allowed a run on two hits and two walks over six innings in a no-decision Sunday against the Yankees. He struck out nine.

    Bradish was excellent Sunday, holding New York scoreless through five innings before eventually allowing a lone run with two outs in the sixth. Bradish has yet to allow more than two runs in four starts since his return from Tommy John surgery while holding opponents to a single run in each of his last three outings. Bradish will carry a 2.25 ERA with a 1.00 WHIP and 39 strikeouts in his next start, tentatively scheduled as a rematch with the Yankees next week.
