  • Jose Berrios SP | TOR

    Twins' Jose Berrios: Quality start in no-decision

    Berrios allowed three runs on six hits and a walk with six strikeouts across six innings in a no-decision versus Texas on Friday.

    Berrios got off to a shaky start, allowing three hits and a walk as Texas scraped together two runs in the first inning. He settled in well after that, although he wasn't able to pick up a win, which has now been the case for his last three starts. The right-hander has a 3.56 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 87:21 K:BB across 83.1 innings this year. He projects for a home start versus Cleveland next week.

  • Kris Bubic RP | LAD

    Royals' Kris Bubic: Collects second win

    Bubic (2-2) allowed two runs on five hits and a walk and struck out two in 2.2 innings, earning the win Friday versus Boston.

    Bubic followed opener Kyle Zimmer and the former left the game with Kansas City ahead. The 23-year-old Bubic has still struggled in June with 17 runs (16 earned) allowed over 15.2 innings across four appearances. The southpaw has a 4.17 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 39:22 K:BB across 45.1 innings this year. If Kansas City gets back on a normal rotation, Bubic projects for a start versus the Yankees next week. The status of Brady Singer (shoulder) will likely play a large part in the team's pitching plans in the near term.

  • Yankees' Jameson Taillon: Settles for no-decision

    Taillon allowed two runs on four hits and one walk while striking out five in 4.2 innings in Friday's loss to the Athletics. He didn't factor into the decision.

    Taillon struggled mightily in his last outing and allowed four runs in a third of an inning, but he fared slightly better in Friday's start. The right-hander has allowed at least two runs in each of his last four appearances, but he's only been charged with one loss during that time. He tentatively lines up to make his next start at home against the Royals on Thursday.

  • Athletics' James Kaprielian: Strikes out seven in win

    Kaprielian (4-1) allowed three runs on three hits and one walk while striking out seven in 5.2 innings to earn the win against the Yankees on Friday.

    Kaprielian was unable to record another quality start Friday, but he got enough run support from the Athletics to pick up his second consecutive win. The right-hander has lasted at least five innings in all but one of his appearances this year, and he's posted a 2.84 ERA and 1.11 WHIP in 38 innings across seven starts. He tentatively lines up to make his next start on the road against the Rangers on Wednesday.

  • Tyler Wells RP | TB

    Orioles' Tyler Wells: Earns second win

    Wells (2-0) struck out two in 1.1 perfect innings to earn the win against the Blue Jays on Friday.

    Wells entered Friday's game to record the final out in the top of the fifth inning with runners on the corners. He struck out Marcus Semien to finish the inning, and he retired each of the three batters he faced in the sixth to pick up his second win of the year. The right-hander has struck out 12 in 11 scoreless innings across his last six outings.

  • Robbie Ray SP | SD

    Blue Jays' Robbie Ray: Charged with loss Friday

    Ray (4-3) allowed two runs on six hits and two walks while striking out five in 4.1 innings to take the loss against the Orioles on Friday.

    Ray had recorded double-digit strikeouts in each of his last two starts, but he was unable to get into a similar rhythm Friday. He gave up a leadoff home run in the first inning and allowed another run to come across by giving up three singles in the bottom of the fifth. The southpaw has posted a 3.50 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 97:19 K:BB in 74.2 innings across his first 13 starts of the year. Ray tentatively lines up to make his next appearance on the road against Miami on Wednesday.

  • Luis Garcia SP | NYY

    Astros' Luis Garcia: Tosses seven strong innings

    Garcia allowed a run on seven hits and two walks over seven innings in Friday's win over the White Sox. He struck out eight and did not factor in the decision.

    The only run to score on Garcia came on a first-inning single by Jose Abreu. He held the White Sox off the board the rest of the evening but had to escape multiple threats throughout the contest. The 24-year-old righty has now allowed two or fewer runs in five of his last six starts, bringing his season ERA down to 2.82 through 70.1 innings. Garcia is projected to face the Tigers in Detroit next week.

  • Carlos Rodon SP | NYY

    White Sox's Carlos Rodon: Fans eight in no-decision

    Rodon allowed one run on three hits and three walks over seven innings in Friday's loss to Houston. He struck out eight and did not factor in the decision.

    Rodon cruised through four perfect innings to start the game before running into trouble in the fifth. He loaded the bases and walked in a run but managed to escape the jam before allowing any more damage. He's given up one or fewer runs in five of his last six starts, lowering his season ERA to 1.83 through 73.2 innings. Rodon is lined up to face Seattle at home next week.

  • Tyler Glasnow SP | LAD

    Rays' Tyler Glasnow: Receives encouraging timeline

    Glasnow (elbow) will be shut down for four weeks while he receives treatment, Steve Carney of Sports Radio 620 WDAE reports.

    Manager Kevin Cash seemed encouraged by the latest update for the Rays' ace right-hander, as it looks like Glasnow could resume throwing in a month's time. If that timeline holds, he'd need about four more weeks to get all the way stretched out before returning to the rotation. Obviously, a lot could take place between now and mid-July, but given this update, a mid-to-late August return is not out of the question for the 27-year-old.

  • Matthew Boyd SP | CHC

    Tigers' Matthew Boyd: Won't return before All-Star break

    Boyd (triceps) is dealing with muscular tendinitis and won't return before the All-Star break, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Boyd was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday. Although several doctors seem to have ruled out structural damage, the team will give the southpaw extended time to recover to make sure he's fully healthy when he returns. Matt Manning and Wily Peralta could remain in the rotation while Boyd and Spencer Turnbull (forearm) are sidelined.
