  • Patrick Corbin SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Patrick Corbin: Another early exit Sunday

    Corbin did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Yankees, allowing two runs on seven hits while striking out three across 3.2 innings.

    Corbin has totaled just 6.2 innings in his last two starts, allowing seven runs on 11 hits in that span. The veteran left-hander's ERA now sits at 4.57 through 13 starts (61 innings) this season with a 1.48 WHIP and 43:20 K:BB. Corbin will likely get one more start, tentatively scheduled to come next week on the road against the Cubs, before Shane Bieber (elbow) is ready to return to the rotation.

  • Angels' Grayson Rodriguez: Exits early Sunday

    Rodriguez (undisclosed) exited Sunday's start against the Rays in the third inning, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    Rodriguez hit Cedric Mullins with an 83 mph changeup with one out in the top of the third frame, and he immediately started grimacing. The Angels promptly removed him from the contest, and it's unclear what injury the right-handed pitcher may be dealing with. More information on Rodriguez's status will likely be provided in the near future.

  • Will Warren SP | NYY

    Yankees' Will Warren: Goes four innings Sunday

    Warren did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Blue Jays, allowing two runs on eight hits and three walks over four innings. He struck out one.

    While Warren managed to work his way around significant damage Sunday, he'd make it through only four innings after throwing 98 pitches. The right-hander has failed to make it through five innings in consecutive starts after posting a 2.78 ERA over 22.2 innings over his previous four outings. Overall, Warren is 7-1 with a 3.47 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 76:24 K:BB across 14 starts (72.2 innings) this season. He's currently lined up to face the Reds at home in his next outing.

  • Tobias Myers RP | NYM

    Mets' Tobias Myers: Tabbed to start Monday

    The Mets will recall Myers from Triple-A Syracuse to start Monday's game against the Reds, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    The right-hander has spent the past couple weeks with Syracuse, but he's now set to make just his third big-league start of the season. Myers has primarily worked as a reliever in the majors this season and has posted a 4.05 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 26:7 K:BB over 33.1 innings. Myers started in his most recent appearance with Syracuse on Thursday, but since he covered just 2.2 innings and 36 pitches in that outing, he'll likely handle a limited workload for the Mets on Monday.

  • Peter Lambert SP | HOU

    Astros' Peter Lambert: Set to start Wednesday

    Lambert (hand) is listed as Houston's probable starting pitcher for Wednesday's game against Detroit, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    The right-hander departed his previous start last Wednesday versus the Angels after getting hit in the hand by a comebacker, but he was able to make it through his between-starts bullpen session without issue and won't be forced to miss a turn through the rotation. Lambert has a 3-0 record with a 3.32 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 18:11 K:BB in 21.2 innings across his past four starts.

  • Bryce Elder SP | ATL

    Braves' Bryce Elder: Falls to the Mets

    Elder (5-4) took the loss Sunday against the Mets, allowing six runs on 10 hits and two walks over four innings. He struck out two.

    The Mets jumped on Elder for four runs in the first inning before the right-hander gave up back-to-back home runs to A.J. Ewing and Marcus Semien to open the fifth. It's the first time that Elder has given up more than one homer in a start this season, and he also allowed season highs in both runs and hits. Elder's ERA now sits at 3.15 through 15 starts (88.2 innings) this season with a 1.14 WHIP and 73:27 K:BB. He'll look to bounce back in his next outing, tentatively scheduled to come at home next weekend against the Brewers.

  • A.J. Ewing CF | NYM

    Mets' A.J. Ewing: Three hits, homer in win

    Ewing went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, an RBI double and an additional run scored in Sunday's 8-1 win over Atlanta.

    Ewing came a triple shy of a cycle Sunday while logging the second three-hit game of his major-league career. The rookie outfielder put the Mets ahead with his RBI double in the first inning before extending the lead to 5-1 in the fifth with a home run, his second of the year, off Bryce Elder. Ewing has gone 13-for-38 (.342) over his last 11 games, boosting his slash line to .267/.339/.381 through 120 plate appearances this season with 14 runs scored, nine RBI and seven stolen bases.

  • Mets' Freddy Peralta: Improves to 5-5

    Peralta (5-5) earned the win Sunday over Atlanta, allowing a run on four hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out two.

    It looked like it was going to be a short day for Peralta after he gave up singles to the first three batters he faced in the first inning. However, he'd manage to hold Atlanta to just one run in the frame before settling in and allowing just one additional hit over his final four frames, while the Mets' bats rallied en route to an 8-1 victory. It was an encouraging bounce-back effort from Peralta, who'd struggled to a 5.70 ERA across 23.2 innings over his previous four outings. Overall, the right-hander sports a 3.90 ERA with a 1.30 WHIP and 81:33 K:BB through 15 starts (83 innings) this season. Peralta is tentatively lined up to face the Phillies on the road his next time out.

  • Mickey Gasper DH | BOS

    Red Sox's Mickey Gasper: Nursing tight groin

    Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy said that Gasper is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers due to slight groin tightness, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

    Gasper started the previous seven games -- three at catcher, four at designated hitter -- but will be forced to the bench Sunday due to the groin issue. The injury doesn't seem to be a serious concern, and the 30-year-old will have Monday's team off day to aid in his recovery. Carlos Narvaez is starting behind the plate Sunday for Boston.

  • Michael Helman CF | TEX

    Rangers' Michael Helman: Shifts to injured list

    The Rangers placed Helman (hand) on the 10-day injured list Sunday.

    The 30-year-old was diagnosed with multiple fractures in his right hand after being hit by a pitch Saturday against the Red Sox, so the move to the IL is hardly a surprise. It's a literal tough break for Helman, who appeared set for increased playing time after Evan Carter (oblique) landed on the shelf earlier in the day. Alejandro Osuna was called up Sunday to bolster Texas' outfield depth.
