  • Trevor Rogers SP | BAL

    Orioles' Trevor Rogers: Fans nine in win

    Rogers (7-2) picked up the win Sunday against Houston, allowing one run on five hits and three walks across seven innings. He struck out nine.

    Rogers' stretch of outstanding play continued against Houston -- he allowed fewer than two runs for a sixth straight start. He's completed at least seven innings in five of those appearances, owning a 1.07 ERA and a 41:7 K:BB across 42 innings during that stretch. The left-hander has a 1.40 ERA in 83.1 innings this season. He hasn't posted a sub-4.00 ERA since the 2021 campaign. Rogers will look to keep rolling in his next start, which is tentatively scheduled to come in San Francisco.

  • Astros' Spencer Arrighetti: Loses again

    Arrighetti (1-5) took the loss Sunday against Baltimore, allowing two runs on six hits and no walks across 5.2 innings. He struck out two.

    Arrighetti was stuck with a fifth straight loss despite coming one out short of a quality start. The 25-year-old has been inconsistent since returning Aug. 6 from a four-month IL stint due to a right thumb fracture. He's yielded five runs in two of his four starts and has allowed two runs in each of his other two appearances. Since coming off the injured list, Arrighetti has logged a 6.52 ERA and a 15:10 K:BB across 19.1 innings. He's on track to face the Angels next weekend.

  • Carlos Rodon SP | NYY

    Yankees' Carlos Rodon: Works around walks in win

    Rodon (14-7) allowed two runs on one hit and five walks while striking out three over 5.2 innings to earn the win over the Red Sox on Sunday.

    Rodon has issued a season-high five walks in three of his last seven starts. He was largely able to work around his control issues Sunday, as he gave the Red Sox little to hit, with only a two-run single by Nathaniel Lowe in the sixth inning marring Rodon's line. The 32-year-old southpaw is now at a 3.24 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 172:65 K:BB through 158.1 innings across 27 starts. He's projected for a favorable road start versus the White Sox in his next outing.

  • Richard Fitts SP | BOS

    Red Sox's Richard Fitts: Set for bulk role

    Fitts is expected to operate as a bulk reliever behind opening pitcher Brennan Bernardino in Monday's game against Baltimore, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

    Fitts was called up from Triple-A Worcester on Thursday and was made available out of the bullpen, but the Red Sox stayed away from using him during their four-game weekend series versus the Yankees. The right-hander thus isn't expected to face any restrictions with his workload once he likely enters the game after Bernardino covers the first inning or two. Fitts has previously served as a starter in all 10 of his appearances with Boston this season, compiling a 4.83 ERA and 1.32 WHIP with 34 strikeouts over 41 innings.

  • Dustin May SP | BOS

    Red Sox's Dustin May: Poor showing in loss

    May (7-10) allowed five runs on five hits and three walks while striking out three over 4.1 innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Yankees.

    May is now 1-3 with 10 runs allowed over 20 innings across his four starts with the Red Sox. The long ball was his primary issue Sunday, as he allowed a two-run home run to Jazz Chisholm and a pair of solo shots to Trent Grisham. On the year, May is now at a 4.79 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 117:50 K:BB through 124 innings over 23 games (22 starts). May's next start is projected to be at home versus the Pirates.

  • Kevin Gausman SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Kevin Gausman: One rough inning in loss

    Gausman (8-10) took the loss against the Marlins on Sunday, allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk with seven strikeouts over six innings.

    Gausman was locked in a pitcher's duel with Eury Perez before giving up a bases-loaded triple in the fifth. It marked only the second time in seven outings since the All-Star break that the 34-year-old allowed more than two earned runs, a stretch that includes four quality starts and a 3.07 ERA. He'll carry a 3.87 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 149:43 K:BB across 153.2 innings this season into a home matchup with the Brewers next weekend.

  • Kyle Hendricks SP | LAA

    Angels' Kyle Hendricks: Saddled with ninth loss

    Hendricks (6-9) took the loss Sunday against the Cubs, allowing four runs on five hits and three walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out two.

    The Angels right-hander conceded three or more free passes for the sixth time this season in his first ever appearance against his former club. Hendricks limited the Chicago lineup -- yielding two doubles and three singles -- but wound up being tagged with three or more runs for the third consecutive outing. The 35-year-old remains difficult to roster in fantasy thanks to a 5.04 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 87:37 K:BB over 130.1 total frames while giving up 21 homers. Hendricks is currently in line to make his next start at Houston next weekend.

  • Merrill Kelly SP | TEX

    Rangers' Merrill Kelly: Cruises to 10th win

    Kelly (10-7) tossed seven scoreless frames while allowing four hits and two walks to pick up the win Sunday against the Guardians. He struck out eight.

    The veteran righty was masterful in this 96-pitch appearance to notch his third consecutive quality start, as he limited the Cleveland lineup to just four singles. Kelly has been dependable since joining the Rangers at the trade deadline, pitching to a 3.10 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 26:8 K:BB across 29 frames. In 157.2 total innings with Texas and Arizona, the 36-year-old now sports a 3.20 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 147:46 K:BB while tallying 16 quality starts. The free-agent-to-be is currently scheduled to make his next start on the road at the Athletics next weekend.

  • Noah Schultz SP | CHW

    White Sox's Noah Schultz: Returns from 7-day IL

    Schultz (knee) struck out four and allowed one unearned run on two hits in his two-inning start Sunday after being activated from the 7-day injured list.

    Schultz hadn't pitched for Charlotte since July 3 due to a right knee injury before he was cleared to slot into the Triple-A rotation Sunday, albeit on a restricted pitch count. The right-hander is regarded as one of the White Sox's top pitching prospects, but he's struggled thus far through his first outings with Charlotte, delivering a 10.13 ERA, 2.10 WHIP and 17:8 K:BB in 13.1 innings.

  • Aldrin Batista SP | CHW

    White Sox's Aldrin Batista: Makes return from IL

    Batista (elbow) has struck out three batters and has allowed three runs (two earned) on three hits and two walks across four innings over two relief appearances since being reinstated from High-A Winston-Salem's 7-day injured list Tuesday.

    Though Batista has picked up wins in both of his outings since making his return from a stress fracture of his right elbow, he's struggled to regain his control following a four-plus-month layoff from game action. In addition to issuing two walks, Batista has also hit three batters in four innings.
