  • Hogan Harris RP | ATH

    Athletics' Hogan Harris: Secures 11th save

    Harris earned the save in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Red Sox, allowing one hit and one walk with one strikeout in a scoreless ninth inning.

    Harris was summoned after the Athletics took a one-run lead in the top of the ninth inning and stranded two baserunners to close the door. It marked back-to-back successful save chances for the 29-year-old, though he's yielded runs in three of his past five appearances. On the year, he owns a 3.63 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 70:34 K:BB across 52 innings to go along with 10 holds and 11 saves.

  • Kevin Ginkel RP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Kevin Ginkel: Bags first save

    Ginkel struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Dodgers.

    Ginkel has allowed five runs (four earned) over 5.2 innings since Arizona's closer committee emerged. He has a save, a blown save, a hold and a win in that span. There's still no favorite for saves currently -- Brandyn Garcia has picked up two of them to Ginkel's one, while Jonathan Loaisiga and Juan Morillo have served more in setup roles since Paul Sewald was removed from the closer role. For the year, Ginkel has a 3.60 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 47:15 K:BB through 50 innings while adding 11 holds.

  • Giants' Daniel Susac: Sustains knee contusion Sunday

    Giants manager Tony Vitello said that Susac exited Sunday's 3-1 extra-inning loss to the Tigers in the bottom of the seventh due to a left knee contusion, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports. Susac went 0-for-2 with a strikeout prior to his departure.

    Susac fouled a ball of his knee in the bottom of the fifth and exited the game the next time his turn in the batting order came up two innings later. Fortunately for Susac, Vitello said that X-rays on the rookie catcher's knee returned negative. The 25-year-old is dealing with a significant amount of swelling in his knee and is considered day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener versus the Astros.

  • Shane Bieber SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Shane Bieber: Gives up five runs in no-decision

    Bieber allowed five runs on six hits and three walks over 5.2 innings in a no-decision Sunday against the Phillies. He struck out four.

    Four of the five runs charged to Bieber came off the bat of Kyle Schwarber, who opened the scoring with a three-run homer in the third inning before adding a solo shot in the fifth. Bieber had gone four starts without allowing a home run prior to Sunday, posting a 2.79 ERA over 19.1 innings in that span. His ERA now sits at 5.48 through nine starts (42.2 innings) this season with a 1.66 WHIP and 32:23 K:BB. Bieber is tentatively in line to face the Yankees at home his next time out.

  • Diamondbacks' Eduardo Rodriguez: Bounces back for 11th win

    Rodriguez (11-4) allowed two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out nine over seven innings to earn the win over the Dodgers on Sunday.

    Rodriguez emptied the tank for this matchup, throwing 79 of 115 pitches for strikes. On the year, he won two of his four games against the Dodgers while allowing just six runs (five earned) over 24 innings, posting a 22:6 K:BB in those starts. Rodriguez has largely been able to pitch well against tough opponents this year, which has helped him work his way to a 2.70 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 101:47 K:BB across 143.1 innings through 24 starts. The southpaw's next start is projected to be in Atlanta. He limited Atlanta to four hits and a walk over seven scoreless innings in a home start April 3.

  • Matthew Boyd SP | CHC

    Cubs' Matthew Boyd: Continues to provide length

    Boyd (8-1) earned the win against the Royals on Sunday, allowing two runs on five hits and three walks in seven innings. He struck out three.

    The Cubs scored runs early and often Sunday, helping Boyd to mostly cruise through seven strong frames. The 35-year-old southpaw has been a model of consistency since the beginning of July, logging five quality starts in his past seven outings while tossing at least six innings each time during that period. Boyd will be looking to keep the good times rolling next in a favorable home matchup against the Cardinals while sporting a 3.50 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 66:23 K:BB over 79.2 innings.

  • Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Struggles again Sunday

    Wrobleski (11-4) allowed four runs (three earned) on six hits and three walks while striking out three over 3.1 innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Diamondbacks.

    Wrobleski has now given up 17 runs (16 earned) over 20 innings since the All-Star break. He's surrendered nine home runs in that span, though he gave up just one long ball in his short start Sunday. Wrobleski appears to have hit the wall in his first full season as a starter in the majors, and it wouldn't be shocking if he was optioned out or demoted to the bullpen when Blake Snell (elbow) returns from the 60-day injured list to start Tuesday versus the Royals. On the year, Wrobleski has a 3.44 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 94:27 K:BB through 120.1 innings.

  • Mike Soroka SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Michael Soroka: Cleared to rejoin rotation Monday

    The Diamondbacks confirmed that Soroka (glute) will be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Monday's vrersus the Rockies at Chase Field, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    Soroka has been on the shelf since June 20 while recovering from a strained left glute, but he needed just one rehab start to prove his health. The 29-year-old worked four innings and tossed 57 pitches in an outing Tuesday with Triple-A Reno, giving up one earned run on three hits and two walks while striking out a batter. The Diamondbacks will likely keep Soroka's workload in check Monday in his first MLB start in over seven weeks, but he'll be a welcome addition to the rotation nonetheless. Prior to getting hurt, Soroka was experiencing a resurgence in 2026, posting a 3.07 ERA and 1.09 WHIP with 79 strikeouts over 82 innings with Arizona.

  • Jesus Luzardo SP | PHI

    Phillies' Jesus Luzardo: Logs 12 strikeouts Sunday

    Luzardo didn't factor into the decision in Sunday's extra-innings win over Toronto, allowing two runs on four hits and a walk across seven innings. He struck out 12.

    It was another dominant outing from Luzardo, who's now held opponents to two runs or fewer in 10 of his last 11 starts. He's gone 6-1 with a 2.04 ERA and 96 strikeouts across 70.2 innings in that span. The left-hander has lowered his ERA to 3.32 through 24 starts (143.2 innings) this season with a 1.14 WHIP and 176 strikeouts, the fifth most in the majors. Luzardo is currently lined up to face the Twins on the road his next time out.

  • Randy Dobnak SP | KC

    Royals' Randy Dobnak: Knocked around in first loss

    Dobnak (2-1) took the loss against the Cubs on Sunday, allowing four runs on 10 hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out four.

    Regression appeared to be looming for Dobnak, who had managed to give up just four runs altogether in his prior six starts (31 innings) despite posting a troubling 15:13 K:BB during that stretch. Sunday marked the third time in his career that he conceded double-digit knocks, and the right-hander has still yet to exceed four strikeouts in an outing this year. Dobnak has a 2.00 ERA across 36 frames, but a 1.33 WHIP and particularly a 19:14 K:BB remain causes for concern going forward.
