  • Max Meyer SP | MIA

    Marlins' Max Meyer: Logs five frames in no-decision

    Meyer did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing one unearned run on four hits and a walk over five innings against the Giants. He struck out five.

    Meyer was solid, not allowing an earned run, but had to settle for a no-decision as the Marlins pulled him at 77 pitches and the bullpen allowed five runs between the sixth and seventh innings. Miami has carefully managed the 27-year-old's workload, as he has not worked beyond 5.1 innings in a start this season, though he has generally been effective when on the mound. Through 30 innings (six starts), Meyer owns a 3.30 ERA and 1.20 WHIP with a 1-0 record and a 33:12 K:BB.

  • Landen Roupp SP | SF

    Giants' Landen Roupp: Delivers 7.2 innings in fifth win

    Roupp (5-1) earned the win Sunday, allowing three runs on two hits and two walks over 7.2 innings against the Marlins. He struck out six.

    Roupp's strong start to 2026 continued, as he worked past a Graham Pauley three-run homer in the second inning to log a career high in innings for a single game and pick up his fifth win. After issuing five free passes in his previous start against the Dodgers, Roupp allowed just two walks Sunday. Through 35.1 innings (six starts) this season, the 27-year-old owns a 2.55 ERA and 0.91 WHIP with a 37:14 K:BB and is tentatively scheduled to next pitch Saturday against the Rays.

  • Cardinals' Michael McGreevy: Fans six in six strong innings

    McGreevy took a no-decision Sunday against the Mariners, allowing one run on five hits and no walks in six innings. He struck out six.

    The right-hander put together one of his best starts on the young season, fanning a season-high six while matching a season high in innings. McGreevy has provided fairly consistent length for the Cardinals as well, firing at least five frames in all but one of his first six starts in 2026. He boasts a 2.97 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 21:5 K:BB across 33.1 innings so far, but a daunting task versus the Dodgers awaits McGreevy in his next scheduled outing.

  • Nate Lowe 1B | CLE

    Reds' Nathaniel Lowe: Smacks another homer Sunday

    Lowe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during the Reds' 8-3 loss to the Tigers on Sunday.

    Lowe put the Reds on the board in the second inning with a solo long shot of Keider Montero. Lowe is up to four home runs on the season, all of which have come over his last three outings. He is slashing .256/.333/.605 with 10 RBI and six runs scored across 48 plate appearances this season.

  • Pirates' Carmen Mlodzinski: Struggles again in short outing

    Mlodzinski (1-2) took the loss Sunday against the Brewers, allowing five runs (four earned) on five hits and one walk in 3.2 innings. He struck out four.

    Following a pair of scoreless outings in his April 10 and April 15 appearances, Mlodzinski has faltered in each of his past two starts. The right-hander has now coughed up at least four runs in back-to-back outings, failing to work at least five frames in both. While Mlodzinski sports a strong 30:11 K:BB through 28.1 frames so far, his 4.13 ERA and 1.45 WHIP make him tough to trust in his next scheduled start versus the division-rival Reds.

  • Kyle Harrison SP | MIL

    Brewers' Kyle Harrison: Career-high 12 Ks in win

    Harrison (2-1) earned the win Sunday against the Pirates, allowing no runs on one hit and one walk in six innings. He struck out 12.

    The left-hander was magnificent Sunday, recording an astounding 23 whiffs en route to fanning a career-high 12. After he didn't reach the 80-pitch marker in either of his prior two starts, it was also encouraging to see Harrison throw a season-high 101 pitches in his first scoreless outing of the year. Harrison is next set to take a stellar 2.28 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 30:8 K:BB over 23.2 innings into a favorable matchup against Washington.

  • JR Ritchie SP | ATL

    Braves' JR Ritchie: Set to start Wednesday

    Ritchie will make his next start Wednesday against the Tigers in Atlanta, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

    Ritchie was exceptional in his major-league debut Thursday against the Nationals, earning a win while tossing seven innings of two-run ball and striking out seven batters. He'll now stick around with the major-league rotation for the time being, with Atlanta deciding to shift Reynaldo Lopez to bullpen in order to allow him to fix some mechanical issues. With Spencer Strider (oblique) on the cusp a return from the 15-day injured list, Atlanta will likely have just one spot in the rotation available for either Ritchie or Martin Perez once Strider is back in the fold.

  • J.J. Bleday LF | CIN

    Reds' JJ Bleday: Homers in 2026 debut

    Bledlay went 1-for-1 with a walk and a solo home run during the Reds' 8-3 loss to the Tigers on Sunday.

    Bledlay was called up by the Reds from Triple-A Louisville on Saturday and made his first major-league start of the season Sunday in left field. He tied things up at 2-2 with a solo homer off Keider Montero in the fourth inning before being replaced by Dane Myers in the sixth against a left-handed reliever. Bleday should remain in the majors for as long as Eugenio Suarez (oblique) is on the 10-day injured list.

  • Diamondbacks' Adrian Del Castillo: Forced to leave early Sunday

    Del Castillo suffered a left ring finger dislocation and exited Sunday's contest against the Padres in the top of the third inning.

    Del Castillo sustained the injury while behind the plate, and he was replaced by James McCann in the contest. Del Castillo finished his day having gone 0-for-1 at the plate with a strikeout, and more information on his status moving forward will likely be provided in the near future.

  • Rhett Lowder SP | CIN

    Reds' Rhett Lowder: Overcomes slow start

    Lowder did not factor into Sunday's decision against the Tigers. He allowed two runs on six hits and one walk while striking out seven across five innings.

    Lowder put the Reds on the back foot early after giving up a two-run double to Kerry Carpenter in the first inning. Lowder managed to settle in thereafter, keeping the Tigers off the board over the next four frames before exiting the game with the Reds up 3-2, but he did not come away with the win after Detroit scored six runs over the seventh and eighth innings. Lowder has given up two earned runs or less in four of his first six starts of the season, and he sits at a 3.18 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 25:10 K:BB across 34 innings. He's lined up to start next week on the road against the Pirates.
