  • Tylor Megill SP | NYM

    Mets' Tylor Megill: Next start coming Tuesday

    Megill is expected to make his next start Tuesday against the Nationals at Citi Field, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

    Though Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said that Megill would stick in the rotation after striking out nine over six shutout innings Monday against the Blue Jays, the right-hander will have to wait more than a week to make his next turn. While Megill would be on normal rest for Saturday's game in Philadelphia or five days' rest for Sunday's series finale, the Mets are instead realigning their rotation to have Luis Severino and David Peterson start those respective games. The shuffling will allow the team's top pitcher, Sean Manaea, to start every five days down the stretch, as the Mets push for a wild-card spot. Manaea will take the hill for Monday's series opener versus the Nationals and will be followed by Megill and Jose Quintana, on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively. Manaea and Megill will both be on track for two-start weeks, with the two lining up for starts in next weekend's home series versus the Phillies.

  • Martin Perez SP | SD

    Padres' Martin Perez: In line to start Sunday

    Perez (personal) is listed as the Padres' probable starting pitcher for Sunday's game against the Giants in San Francisco.

    Perez has missed the Padres' last two games after being placed on the paternity list Wednesday, and while he could remain away from the team for Saturday's contest as well, he looks poised to rejoin the club for the series finale at Oracle Park. Since coming over in a deal with the Pirates at the trade deadline, Perez has turned in a 2.84 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 33:11 K:BB in 38 innings over his seven outings with San Diego.

  • Cal Quantrill SP | COL

    Rockies' Cal Quantrill: Trending toward Sunday return

    Quantrill (triceps) is expected to return from the 15-day injured list to start Sunday's game against the Cubs at Coors Field, MLB.com reports.

    Quantrill was placed on the IL with right triceps inflammation on Sept. 1, one day after he was scratched from his scheduled start against the Orioles. He looks like he'll be ready to return to action in close to the minimum 15 days, and he didn't require a rehab assignment after the Rockies were encouraged by how the right-hander fared during his throwing program. That being said, manager Bud Black suggested that Quantrill will have his workload monitored carefully Sunday, with 70-to-85 pitches floated as a rough estimate.

  • Joey Cantillo SP | CLE

    Guardians' Joey Cantillo: Drawing another start

    Cantillo is scheduled to start Saturday's game against the Rays in Cleveland.

    After returning from Triple-A Columbus on Monday and striking out 10 over seven innings of one-run ball in a win over the White Sox, Cantillo has earned himself a second straight turn through the Cleveland rotation. The left-handed rookie should hold down a rotation spot until the Guardians get Alex Cobb (finger) back from the 15-day injured list.

  • Jacob deGrom SP | TEX

    Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Delivers scoreless line in return

    DeGrom (elbow) allowed four hits and struck out four without walking a batter over 3.2 scoreless innings Friday while taking a no-decision in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Mariners.

    In his first big-league outing since April 28, 2023 and after completing four minor-league rehab starts prior to being activated from the 60-day injured list, deGrom was limited to 61 pitches (41 strikes) in his return to the Texas rotation. Though he was generally sharp during his time on the mound, deGrom is likely to remain on a workload restriction for his next start, which is expected to come next week at home versus the Blue Jays.

  • Mariners' Emerson Hancock: Yields three runs in no-decision

    Hancock allowed three earned runs on six hits and a walk while striking out five over five innings in a no-decision Friday in the Mariners' 5-4 win over the Rangers.

    Hancock threw 60 of 90 pitches for strikes in the start, though the Mariners offense didn't wake up until after he exited the game. Hancock has given up three or more earned runs in four of his 10 major-league appearances this season and nows owns a 4.83 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 33:15 K:BB over 50.1 innings. With Luis Castillo (hamstring) on the injured list, Hancock could end up finishing the season in the majors as a member of the rotation. He's projected to make his next start at home versus the Yankees.

  • Dylan Cease SP | SD

    Padres' Dylan Cease: Strikes out 10 in win

    Cease (13-11) allowed four hits and two walks while striking out 10 over six shutout innings to earn the win Friday over the Giants.

    Cease had allowed at least three runs in each of his last six starts before turning in this excellent performance. This was his fifth start of the year with double-digit strikeouts. Cease is now at a 3.58 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 215:62 K:BB through 176 innings over 31 starts this year. His next start is lined up to come at home versus the Astros.

  • Logan Webb SP | SF

    Giants' Logan Webb: Short start in loss

    Webb (12-10) allowed four runs (three earned) on seven hits and a walk while striking out four over four innings to take the loss Friday versus the Padres.

    Webb failed to complete five innings for the first time since May 5. With the Giants essentially out of playoff contention, it appears manager Bob Melvin won't ask for too much of Webb down the stretch, especially since the ace has hit a rough patch with 17 runs allowed (16 earned) on 29 hits and six walks over his last 21 innings. The right-hander is now at a 3.53 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 161:47 K:BB through a major-league-leading 193.2 innings over 31 starts. Webb's next start is set to come on the road, but it's unclear if it'll be in Baltimore or Kansas City, as the Giants could get Robbie Ray (hamstring) back some time next week.

  • Freddy Peralta SP | MIL

    Brewers' Freddy Peralta: Walks four in win

    Peralta (11-8) allowed a run on six hits and four walks while striking out five over five innings to earn the win over the Diamondbacks on Friday.

    Peralta didn't have his best command Friday, but he still did a decent job with run prevention. He's won three of his last five starts, allowing a total of seven runs across 26 innings despite a 22:13 K:BB in that span. Overall, Peralta is at a 3.75 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 184:64 K:BB through 163.1 innings over 30 starts this season. He's projected to make his next appearance at home in a rematch with the Diamondbacks.

  • Diamondbacks' Eduardo Rodriguez: Takes tough loss

    Rodriguez (2-3) allowed two runs on five hits and three walks while striking out seven over five innings to take the loss versus the Brewers on Friday.

    Rodriguez has walked multiple batters in three straight starts, though he was able to get back to the five-inning mark after falling short in his previous two outings. The veteran southpaw's only real mistake Friday resulted in a two-run home run by Rhys Hoskins in the fourth inning, but that was all Milwaukee needed in a 2-1 win. Rodriguez is now at a 5.50 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 25:13 K:BB through 34.1 innings over seven starts this season. He's projected to make his next start at Colorado.
