  • Padres' Randy Vasquez: Manages scoreless start Friday

    Vasquez didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Brewers after giving up two hits and four walks in 4.2 scoreless innings. He struck out two.

    Vasquez had worked three hitless innings to begin the outing, but his lack of efficiency prevented him from getting deeper into the game. Just 40 of his 78 pitches landed for strikes, and the 26-year-old right-hander failed to reach the fifth inning for the sixth time in 13 appearances this year. Vasquez's 3.69 ERA on the season remains respectable, but his 37:34 K:BB and 4.8 walks per nine innings over 63.1 frames remain major impediments to his fantasy appeal. He won't be a recommended streamer versus the Dodgers his next time out.

  • Davis Martin SP | CHW

    White Sox's Davis Martin: Season-high seven Ks in no-decision

    Martin didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Royals after giving up two runs on five hits and no walks in six innings. He struck out seven.

    Martin submitted a season-high seven punchouts while turning in his fifth consecutive start of at least six frames. The right-hander is settling in as a serviceable member of Chicago's rotation in 2025, given he's now fired at least six innings while allowing two runs or fewer seven times among his 13 appearances. Martin's lack of strikeout upside may continue to limit his fantasy value, as he's averaging just 5.8 strikeouts per nine innings, but he owns a steady 3.62 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 48:17 K:BB through 74.2 innings ahead of his next scheduled start against the the Astros.

  • Seth Lugo SP | KC

    Royals' Seth Lugo: Rebounds with five solid innings

    Lugo didn't factor into the decision Friday against the White Sox after giving up two runs on five hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out five.

    After throwing a season-low 3.1 innings in his first start off the injured list last Friday, Lugo got back on track while firing at least five frames and surrendering two runs or fewer for the sixth time in 2025. The veteran right-hander has proven to be quite a consistent fantasy option thus far, considering he's allowed more than three runs just twice and worked fewer than five innings only once in 11 outings. Lugo holds a 3.46 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 50:19 K:BB over 65 innings, and he's tentatively scheduled to take the ball next week against the Athletics.

  • Kodai Senga SP | NYM

    Mets' Kodai Senga: Fans six in quality start

    Senga didn't factor into the decision against the Rockies on Friday, allowing one run on five hits and two walks while striking out six across six innings.

    It was another dominant start for Senga, who generated 22 whiffs on 109 pitches (67 strikes). He faced the minimum in three of the first four innings, and his only blemish was a Mickey Moniak solo homer in the third. This was Senga's sixth quality start of the season, and his 1.59 ERA (across 68 innings) is best in the National League among qualified starters. He's in line to make his next start against the Nationals at home next week.

  • Logan Gilbert SP | SEA

    Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Needs at least one more rehab start

    Gilbert (elbow) will make a third rehab start for Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

    After Gilbert threw 60 pitches in Wednesday's minor-league outing, the Mariners have opted to have him make at least one more appearance on his assignment before rejoining the major-league roster. The right-hander will aim to further build up his pitch count, and his next start after Tuesday could come from Seattle's rotation if all goes well. Gilbert's velocity was slightly diminished in his second rehab appearance, so that will be something to monitor in his third outing.

  • Bryce Miller SP | SEA

    Mariners' Bryce Miller: Surrenders five runs in loss

    Miller (2-5) allowed five runs on six hits and a walk while striking out two over five innings to take the loss Friday versus the Angels.

    Miller has given up eight runs over nine innings across two starts since he returned from right elbow inflammation. It's unclear how much the issue is bothering him, but his performance simply isn't up to par currently. The right-hander's poor start Friday put him at a 5.73 ERA with a 1.52 WHIP and 39:23 K:BB across 48.2 innings through 10 starts. The 26-year-old is tentatively projected for a road start in Arizona his next time out.

  • Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Gives up four runs in loss

    Wrobleski (1-2) took the loss against the Cardinals on Friday, allowing four runs on six hits and three walks while striking out five across six innings.

    Wrobleski made his second major-league start of the season Friday after being promoted from Triple-A Oklahoma City. He gave up two runs in the second and fifth frames -- including a two-run shot to Pedro Pages -- and the 24-year-old southpaw wasn't able to get any run support to avoid the loss. Wrobleski gave up eight runs in his 2025 debut against the Nationals on April 8, but he has posted a 3.60 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in 10 innings across his last two outings. He's tentatively slated to face the Padres on the road next week.

  • Kyle Hendricks SP | LAA

    Angels' Kyle Hendricks: Gets back in win column

    Hendricks (3-6) allowed four runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out two over six innings to earn the win over the Mariners on Friday.

    Hendricks has allowed at least three runs in six straight outings. That held true Friday, but for the second time in that span, he came away with a win despite not being at his best in any regard. Hendricks has been able to work fairly deep into games most of the time, but he has posted unimpressive ratios with a 5.40 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 41:20 K:BB through 65 innings over 12 starts. His next start is projected to be at home versus the Athletics.

  • Sonny Gray SP | BOS

    Cardinals' Sonny Gray: Blanks defending champs

    Gray (7-1) earned the win against the Dodgers on Friday, allowing eight hits while striking out five across 6.1 scoreless frames. He did not issue a walk.

    Gray yielded at least two baserunners in three of the seven innings he pitched, but he maneuvered out of trouble without allowing a run. He generated 16 whiffs and 19 first-pitch strikes on 90 pitches (63 strikes) while inducing seven grounders. Gray has not given up a run over his last two starts and sports a 3.35 ERA and 1.13 WHIP across 75.1 innings this season, and his 81 strikeouts rank ninth in the National League. He's lined up to face the Brewers on the road next week.

  • Will Warren SP | NYY

    Yankees' Will Warren: Mixed results in win

    Warren (4-3) earned the win against the Red Sox on Friday, allowing four runs on three hits and four walks with six strikeouts over 5.1 innings.

    Warren was given an early lead and looked poised for his first quality start since May 9 before allowing four runs over his final two innings. He struggled with command and control, issuing four walks for the second straight outing while generating just six whiffs on 84 pitches. The 25-year-old now carries a 5.34 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 75:28 K:BB across 57.1 innings and is slated to face the Royals on the road next week.
