    Cardinals' Tink Hence: Cleared for rehab assignment

    Hence (ribs) will begin a rehab assignment with Single-A Palm Beach on Wednesday.

    Hence has been sidelined all season with a right rib cage strain but has finally been cleared to test things out in game action. The top prospect will eventually move up to Triple-A Memphis but will be brought along slowly, given his injury history.

  • Ryan Weathers SP | NYY

    Marlins' Ryan Weathers: Stymies Cubs in no-decision

    Weathers came away with a no-decision in Tuesday's 14-1 loss to the Cubs, allowing one run on five hits over five innings. He struck out four without walking a batter.

    The lefty served up a solo shot to Kyle Tucker in the first inning but otherwise held Chicago's bats in check for a second straight start, only to see the Marlins' bullpen melt down as soon as he left the mound. Weathers has given up two runs in 10 innings with a 9:1 K:BB since coming off the injured list last week, and he'll look to stay sharp in a potential revenge game early next week when Miami travels to San Diego -- the team that drafted Weathers in the first round in 2018.

  • Rockies' Antonio Senzatela: Goes six innings in loss

    Senzatela (1-8) took the loss Tuesday against the Phillies, allowing four runs on 10 hits and a walk while striking out three in six innings.

    Senzatela was hit around for three runs in the first inning but continued on to throw five more innings of one-run ball. Despite tying a season-high mark with 10 hits allowed, Senzatela managed to reach six innings for just the second time in 2025 and did not allow a home run for the third time in his last four home starts. He's given up at least four runs in five consecutive starts and his 6.34 ERA is the worst in baseball among qualified pitchers. Senzatela will have his hands full again when the Yankees come to town this weekend.

  • Cubs' Jameson Taillon: Cruises to third win

    Taillon (3-3) picked up the win in Tuesday's 14-1 rout of the Marlins, allowing one run on four hits and three walks over seven innings. He struck out two.

    A solo shot by Nick Fortes in the third inning was the only blemish on Taillon's line, as he delivered his second straight quality start against Miami and his sixth of the season in 10 trips to the mound. Keeping the ball in the yard remains a serious concern for the right-hander, however -- he's served up nine homers in his last four starts, fueling a 4.30 ERA over that stretch despite a 1.09 WHIP and 18:5 K:BB in 23 innings. Taillon gets a soft matchup for his next outing, which lines up to come at home early next week against the Rockies.

  • Pirates' Bailey Falter: Blanks Cincy for third win

    Falter (3-3) picked up the win in Tuesday's 1-0 victory over the Reds, scattering four hits over seven scoreless innings. He struck out five without walking a batter.

    It was a dazzling performance from the southpaw, who tossed 55 of 79 pitches for strikes before handing the ball off to the Bucs' bullpen to complete the shutout. Falter has allowed just one run in four May starts and none in his last three trips to the mound, giving him a 0.38 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 17:9 K:BB through 23.2 innings on the month. He'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, which is scheduled to come at home this weekend against the Brewers.

  • White Sox's Adrian Houser: Blanks Mariners in 2025 debut

    Houser (1-0) earned the win over the Mariners on Tuesday after throwing six scoreless innings, allowing two hits and three walks while striking out two.

    Houser impressed with six scoreless innings after he was just signed by the White Sox earlier in the day. The Mariners had a baserunner in all but one inning, but Houser was able to navigate around the traffic with a bunch of soft contact. He worked up to 90 pitches in the outing and lines up for a tough road test versus the Mets to begin next week.

  • Reds' Nick Martinez: Fifth straight quality start

    Martinez (2-5) took the loss Tuesday, allowing one run on four hits and two walks over six innings as the Reds fell 1-0 to the Pirates. He struck out three.

    The veteran right-hander delivered his fifth straight quality start on 91 pitches (51 strikes), but Cincinnati hitters couldn't solve Bailey Falter and the Pittsburgh bullpen. Martinez has a 1.74 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 20:4 K:BB through 31 innings over his quality start streak, but just a 2-2 record to show for it as the Reds have scored a total of 11 runs in those games. He'll hope for more offensive support in his next outing, which lines up to come on the road early next week in Kansas City.

  • Erick Fedde SP | CHW

    Cardinals' Erick Fedde: Surrenders two homers

    Fedde allowed four runs on five hits and no walks while striking out two in five innings versus the Tigers on Tuesday. He did not factor into the decision.

    Fedde began by allowing a leadoff home run to Kerry Carpenter and the Tigers tacked on another run before the inning concluded. The deficit doubled in the third after Riley Greene hit a two-run blast two right, but Fedde was able to retire the final seven batters he faced after that. Fedde had allowed only three home runs all season heading into Tuesday, and he has now posted a 2.43 ERA on the road this season compared to a 5.20 ERA at home. The right-hander lines up for a potential bounce-back road start against the Orioles next week.

  • Tarik Skubal SP | DET

    Tigers' Tarik Skubal: Falls short of quality start

    Skubal allowed three runs on five hits and a walk while striking out eight in 5.2 innings Tuesday against the Cardinals. He did not factor into the decision.

    Skubal blanked the Cardinals through four innings while allowing just a single. Nolan Arenado took him deep in the fifth for a two-run homer and Skubal's day would end one out short of a quality start after another run came across in the sixth to make it a 4-3 ballgame. With eight more strikeouts Tuesday, Skubal leads the American League with 79 and his 1.06 BB/9 is the second best in baseball. He's set to take the mound again to open up next week at home versus San Francisco.

  • Dodgers' Yoshinobu Yamamoto: Dazzles in no-decision

    Yamamoto allowed a hit and two walks while striking out nine over seven scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

    Yamamoto didn't allowed a baserunner until the fourth inning, and his no-hit bid was broken up by Ketel Marte's leadoff single in the seventh. Yamamoto wasn't particularly efficient, requiring 110 pitches (62 strikes), but he was excellent in generating his fourth scoreless outing and sixth quality start of the season. The right-hander lowered his ERA to 1.86 to go along with a 0.91 WHIP and 68:18 K:BB across 58 innings through 10 starts. His next start is projected to be on the road in Cleveland.
