Justin Wrobleski SP | LAD
Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Sticking around in rotation
Wrobleski is slated to start Wednesday's game in San Diego.
The left-hander was summoned from Triple-A Oklahoma City for a start Friday, taking a loss while allowing four earned runs on six hits and three walks over six innings against the Cardinals. With the Los Angeles pitching staff hit hard by injuries, Wrobleski will be given the chance to make at least one more turn through the rotation, but he may not be guaranteed any starts after that.

Chase Burns SP | CIN
Reds' Chase Burns: Dominant in Double-A shutout
Burns allowed three hits and struck out six in a complete-game, seven-inning shutout victory for Double-A Chattanooga on Saturday.
Burns was masterful in retiring the first 17 batters he faced before allowing three singles over his final 1.1 innings. The Reds' top pitching prospect was still hitting 98 mph in his final frame, per Jesse Borek and Cole Winetraub of MLB.com. The right-hander has walked just four batters over 42 innings since his promotion to Double-A and owns a combined 75:9 K:BB on the season.

Ian Seymour RP | TB
Rays' Ian Seymour: Promoted Sunday
The Rays recalled Seymour from Triple-A Durham on Sunday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
The left-hander was scheduled to start for Durham on Sunday, but he'll instead receive his first taste of the majors since the Rays are in need of some fresh bullpen arms. Seymour has a 2.95 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 84:15 K:BB across 61 innings (12 starts) at Triple-A this season.

Logan Webb SP | SF
Giants' Logan Webb: Strong showing in no-decision
Webb did not factor into the decision Saturday, allowing two runs on six hits and no walks over six innings against Atlanta. He struck out 10.
Webb struck out double-digit batters for the fourth time this season. San Francisco's ace has been both consistent and effective in 2025, pitching to a 2.58 ERA and 1.16 WHIP across 87.1 innings in 14 starts. If he maintains this level of performance, the 28-year-old is on pace to record his first sub-3.00 ERA season since 2022 and set a career high in strikeouts.

Bryce Elder SP | ATL
Braves' Bryce Elder: Sets career high in strikeouts
Elder did not factor into the decision Saturday, allowing one run on three hits and no walks over eight innings against San Francisco. He struck out 12.
The right-hander delivered his most dominant outing of the season, setting a career high with 12 strikeouts while allowing just one run on a Wilmer Flores homer in the fourth inning. Elder has bounced between the majors and Triple-A, but he's shown improvement as the season has progressed, posting a 2.97 ERA and 0.96 WHIP over his past five starts with Atlanta. The 26-year-old should remain in the rotation with AJ Smith-Shawver (elbow) out.

Taj Bradley SP | MIN
Rays' Taj Bradley: Struggles in no-decision
Bradley settled for a no-decision after allowing seven runs on six hits and two walks while striking out two during Saturday's 11-10 loss to the Marlins in 10 innings.
The 24-year-old had a tough outing Saturday, allowing a season-high seven runs to a bottom-10 offense in MLB. Bradley, who struck out 34 batters in his last 30 innings entering Saturday, struggled to miss bats and got punished for mistakes by the Marlins. Things won't get any easier for the right-hander, who lines up to face the Mets in his next turn through the rotation.

Mitchell Parker RP | WAS
Nationals' Mitchell Parker: Takes sixth loss
Parker (4-6) took the loss Saturday, allowing two runs (one earned) on four hits and no walks over six innings against Texas. He struck out five.
Parker delivered six solid innings, but a lack of run support from Washington resulted in his sixth loss of the season. Despite the defeat, this was a much-needed rebound performance for the southpaw, who entered the game with a 7.99 ERA and 1.69 WHIP over his previous seven starts.

Jacob deGrom SP | TEX
Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Masterful in sixth win
DeGrom (6-2) earned the win Saturday, allowing two hits and no walks over seven scoreless innings against Washington. He struck out eight.
DeGrom was virtually unhittable against Washington on Saturday. The right-hander's fastball might be down a few ticks from his peak velocity (it's averaging 97.1 mph in 2025), but he's been as dominant as ever, posting a 1.66 ERA and 0.85 WHIP across 43.1 innings in his past seven starts. With a 2.12 ERA and 0.92 WHIP in 76.1 innings in 13 outings overall in 2025, the 36-year-old is reasserting himself as one of the game's premier pitchers.
-
Gavin Williams SP | CLE
Guardians' Gavin Williams: Turns in quality start
Williams took a no-decision after he allowed three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five in six innings during Saturday's 5-3, extra-inning loss to the Astros
Williams continues to do a good job at limiting hits in his starts, surrendering five or fewer in six straight. Walks have been the thing to hurt the 25-year-old this season as he walked multiple batters Saturday for the 11th time in 13 starts. The strikeout numbers look good with a 9.8 K/9, but the right-hander will likely need to cut down on the free passes in order to maintain his current ERA of 3.86.

Luis Severino SP | ATH
Athletics' Luis Severino: Can't hold lead Saturday
Severino (1-6) allowed six runs (five earned) on eight hits and four walks while striking out five over 5.2 innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Orioles.
The Athletics gave Severino a 4-1 lead to work with after one inning, but he couldn't guard it. The Orioles' comeback began with a Ramon Laureano solo shot in the fourth inning, and Severino ultimately gave up the decisive run on Colton Cowser's solo homer in the sixth. This outing ended a stretch of 10 starts where Severino didn't give up a homer, but he still hasn't been all that effective. For the season, he has a 4.77 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 60:27 K:BB through 83 innings over 14 starts, though he's allowed just six homers all year. His next start is projected to be on the road in Kansas City.
