Weathers allowed three runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out two batters over four innings in a no-decision against Colorado on Wednesday.

Weathers yielded a constant stream of traffic, failing to record a clean inning and allowing multiple baserunners in all but one of the frames in which he pitched. That caused him to rack up a high pitch count of 80 pitches through four frames, and he consequently didn't return for the fifth inning. Weathers shined with five scoreless frames in his return from a lengthy IL stint in his previous start, so fantasy managers may not want to hold this shaky outing against him too much given that it was in the altitude of Colorado. However, Weathers is lined up for a tough matchup in Philadelphia next week, so he doesn't make for a great SP option for those in the midst of fantasy playoffs.

DeGrom (12-8) took the loss against Houston on Wednesday, allowing five runs on six hits and one walk while striking out six batters over five innings.

DeGrom struggled from the outset, giving up two runs on three hits and a walk in the first inning. The veteran hurler then gave up a two-run homer in the third inning and a solo shot in the fifth, marking the second time in his past three starts that he's yielded multiple long balls. DeGrom did record a decent 11 whiffs and six punchouts, but he continued what has been just a so-so second half. He didn't give up more than four runs in any of his 19 starts prior to the All-Star break, but in the second half he's allowed five runs on three separate occasions through 10 outings. That's brought his ERA up from 2.32 at the break to 3.01 after Wednesday's loss.

Peterson (9-6) took the loss Wednesday against the Padres, surrendering six runs on six hits and three walks while striking out one over five innings.

The left-hander kept things close early but imploded in the fifth, when he issued two walks and allowed a bunt single to load the bases before Manny Machado cleared them with a grand slam. Peterson has struggled mightily since the beginning of August, posting a 6.99 ERA across nine outings (46.1 innings) and recording only two quality starts during that stretch. The 30-year-old is slated to face the Cubs in his next outing.

Pivetta didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against the Padres, allowing three runs on seven hits while striking out five over 4.2 innings.

All the damage from the star-studded New York lineup against the right-hander came via the long ball, as he surrendered solo homers to Pete Alonso in the first inning, Starling Marte in the fourth and Juan Soto in the fifth -- marking the first time this season he's allowed three home runs in a start. While his last couple outings have been a step back from his usual dominance, Pivetta still owns an impressive 2.81 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 185:45 K:BB across 176 innings. The 31-year-old remains in search of his first win since Aug 19 and is slated to face the Brewers in his next start.

Javier (2-3) earned the win over Texas on Wednesday, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk with four strikeouts over six innings.

Javier surrendered a pair of runs in the second inning, but the Rangers were unable to cross the plate outside of that frame. The righty hurler finished with his second quality start of the campaign and completed exactly six innings for the third time in his past four outings. Javier is just over five weeks past his 2025 Astros debut after coming back from Tommy John surgery, and his 88 pitches Wednesday marked a season high. His next start is projected to be on the road against the Athletics.

Gausman didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against the Rays, allowing one run on six hits and two walks while striking out six over six innings.

Gausman gave up an early run in the first inning but quickly settled in, retiring 18 of the next 22 batters while blanking Tampa Bay the rest of the way. Coming off a complete-game shutout against Houston in which he allowed just two hits, the right-hander continued his dominant form Wednesday, though Toronto's lack of run support left him with a no-decision. Gausman has now given up only three runs across his last four starts (30 innings), posting a 0.90 ERA and 28:4 K:BB during that span. The veteran is slated to face the Red Sox early next week in his next start.

Giolito didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's win against the Athletics, allowing four runs on five hits and five walks while striking out five over 4.1 innings.

Giolito worked around constant traffic early and stranded six runners through four frames to limit the damage to one run, but it caught up to him in the fifth. After a single and two walks loaded the bases with one out, the right-hander was lifted, and all three inherited runners came around to score. The rough outing snapped a strong four-start stretch in which Giolito had posted a 1.46 ERA and 22:10 K:BB across 24.2 innings. He is slated to take the mound against the Blue Jays next, which is a tough assignment given that Toronto leads MLB in runs scored in the back half of the season.

Barnett didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's loss against the Red Sox, allowing three runs (two earned) on five hits and three walks while striking out two over four innings

The rookie right-hander gave up a run in the first inning before serving up a solo homer to Rob Refsnyder in the second. While he managed to avoid further damage, Barnett has now surrendered 14 runs in just 16.2 innings since his call-up, struggling to find consistency at the major-league level to the tune of a 7.56 ERA, 1.92 WHIP and 15:9 K:BB across four starts. The 24-year-old has tallied more than four innings only once in those four outings. Assuming he retains his rotation spot, Barnett is slated to face the Astros in his next scheduled start.

The Royals are expected to place Bergert on the 15-day injured list Thursday with forearm tightness, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Bergert reported a problem with his forearm after throwing a bullpen session Wednesday. The 25-year-old's move to the IL will put an early end to his rookie regular season, finishing with a 3.66 ERA and 1.26 WHIP alongside a 73:35 K:BB across 76.1 innings.

Waldrep (5-1) picked up the win Wednesday, giving up three runs on five hits over five innings in a 9-4 victory over the Nationals. He struck out eight without walking a batter.

After getting tagged for eight runs in 4.2 innings to take his first big-league loss of the year in his last start, Waldrep came out firing Wednesday and blanked Washington for four frames before giving up a three-spot in the bottom of the fifth on four hits, including three doubles, to break a scoreless tie. Atlanta was able to take the lead for good in the top of the sixth to put the rookie right-hander back in the win column, however. Waldrep hasn't been able to complete six innings in any of his last five starts, getting pulled after 83 pitches (52 strikes) in this one, but Wednesday's effort was his first in the majors in which he didn't issue a free pass. He lines up to make one more start in 2025, at home early next week in a rematch with the Nats.
