  • Juan Mejia RP | COL

    Rockies' Juan Mejia: Tough outings piling up

    Mejia (1-5) allowed four runs (three earned) on three hits and two walks while walking two across one-third of an inning to take the loss Friday against the Brewers.

    Mejia entered the game in the 10th inning with the score tied at 5-5, and he struck out the first batter he faced. However, he allowed the next five batters to reach base before being pulled in favor of Seth Halvorsen. Mejia is in the high-leverage mix for the Rockies, but the team hasn't converted a save since May 18 and Mejia has allowed multiple earned runs in four of his last five appearances.

    Brewers' Shane Drohan: Handed another start

    Drohan is slated to start Sunday's game against the Rockies at Coors Field.

    Drohan will be making his second straight turn through the rotation after most recently striking out five batters while yielding two earned runs on four hits and two walks across four innings in a start Monday against the Giants. Since he had previously been working out of the bullpen, Drohan was lifted after tossing 68 pitches in Monday's start, but he should have a little bit longer leash Sunday.

  • Braves' Raisel Iglesias: Remains perfect in save chances

    Iglesias notched a save in Friday's win over the Pirates. He tossed a scoreless ninth inning while allowing a hit and a walk, striking out one.

    Iglesias has been one of the best closers in the majors this season and has gone 12-for-12 in save chances thus far. This time, he needed 19 pitches (12 strikes) to get the job done while holding a three-run lead, though he did allow two hitters to get on base. Iglesias has given up just two runs all season long, posting a 0.92 ERA and 0.97 WHIP across 19.2 innings in 19 outings in 2026.

  • Brewers' Brian Fitzpatrick: Slated for MRI

    Fitzpatrick will undergo an MRI on his left elbow Saturday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Fitzpatrick pitched a shutout sixth inning Friday against Colorado, but he felt a pop in his elbow while throwing warm-up pitches ahead of the seventh inning and was in a considerable amount of pain as he walked off the field. More about the severity of his injury will be known once the Brewers get his test results back, but there seems to be a good chance the 26-year-old southpaw will require a trip to the injured list.

  • Trevor Megill RP | MIL

    Brewers' Trevor Megill: Earns win despite blown save

    Megill (1-2) earned the win after blowing a save in Friday's 9-7 extra-inning win over the Rockies, allowing two runs on three hits and one walk with one strikeout in the ninth inning.

    Megill was summoned to protect a two-run lead in the ninth inning but coughed it up before escaping in a 5-5 tie, ultimately picking up the win after the Brewers scored four runs in the top of the 10th. It was a discouraging outing for the 32-year-old, as he entered the contest having converted four straight saves during a stretch of seven scoreless appearances dating back to May 15. For the year, he's 6-for-8 in save chances with a 4.70 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 29:7 K:BB across 23 innings.

  • Rockies' Antonio Senzatela: Blows save Friday

    Senzatela blew the save in Friday's 9-7 extra-inning loss to the Brewers, allowing four runs (three earned) on four hits and no walks with four strikeouts over 1.2 innings.

    Senzatela was aiming for a two-inning save after striking out the side in the eighth, but he unraveled for four runs in the ninth and departed with a 5-3 deficit. The 31-year-old entered June with a case for the Rockies' closer role, but he's now been charged with blown saves in back-to-back appearances to open the month. For the year, he still owns an impressive 1.98 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 30:10 K:BB across 36.1 innings while tallying three saves and two holds.

  • Lake Bachar RP | MIA

    Marlins' Lake Bachar: Opening Saturday

    Bachar will serve as the Marlins' opening pitcher during Saturday's game against the Rays, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

    Bachar pitched 2.2 shutout innings when the Marlins last relied on him to work as an opener Tuesday in Washington, so they'll give him another opening assignment during Saturday's contest. It's unknown whether Miami will use a bulk reliever behind Bachar or treat the game as a bullpen day.

  • Brewers' Brian Fitzpatrick: Leaves with injury Friday

    Fitzpatrick was removed from Friday's game against the Rockies due to an apparent injury, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    After tossing a scoreless sixth inning Friday, Fitzpatrick went back out to the mound to pitch the seventh but injured himself while warming up. The Brewers will likely provide an update on his status after they take a closer look at him.

  • Ryan Gusto SP | MIA

    Marlins' Ryan Gusto: Takes loss as Friday's opener

    Gusto (0-1) took the loss against the Rays on Friday, allowing three runs on three hits and one walk while striking out one batter in two innings.

    Gusto made his first start of the season Friday, but it was a rough outing for the 27-year-old right-hander. He gave up all three of his runs in the first inning and tossed 33 pitches before turning the keys over to Tyler Phillips in the third. Unfortunately for Gusto, he was unable to avoid the loss, as his Marlins teammates were limited to just two hits and a walk in a shutout. He has given up six runs across his two outings since being called up from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday.

  • Zach Agnos RP | COL

    Rockies' Zach Agnos: Back in majors

    The Rockies recalled Agnos from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.

    Agnos will rejoin the big-league roster to provide extra bullpen depth as Tanner Gordon (hip) moves to the injured list. Agnos has performed poorly in the majors this season, accumulating a 7.78 ERA and 1.57 WHIP through 37 innings.
