Pierson Ohl RP | COL
Twins' Pierson Ohl: Getting start Wednesday
Ohl will start Wednesday's contest in Detroit, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Ohl will be pitching on three days' rest after making a three-inning relief appearance Saturday in Cleveland. The 25-year-old also hasn't thrown more than four innings at the major- or minor-league level in 2025, so he's unlikely to pitch deep into Wednesday's game. Ohl has permitted five runs with a 6:2 K:BB over six innings in two appearances (one start) with the Twins this season.

Logan Taylor Allen SP | CLE
Guardians' Logan Allen: Strikes out six in no-decision
Allen came away with a no-decision in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Mets, giving up two runs on four hits and four walks over five innings. He struck out six.
The lefty's control was a little wobbly, as he threw just 51 of 88 pitches for strikes and managed first-pitch strikes to only 12 of the 23 batters he faced, but despite dealing with traffic on the bases in all five of his innings, Allen was able to limit the damage. He's been a steady presence in the Guardians' rotation, lasting at least five innings in 11 straight starts since the beginning of June while posting a 3.90 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 49:19 K:BB over 64.2 innings. Allen will look for his eighth win of the season in his next trip to the mound, which lines up to come at home early next week against the Marlins.

Garrett Crochet RP | BOS
Red Sox's Garrett Crochet: Fans eight in 13th win
Crochet (13-4) picked up the win in Tuesday's 6-2 victory over the Royals, giving up two runs on four hits and a walk over seven innings. He struck out eight.
The southpaw racked up 34 called or swinging strikes among his 105 pitches (66 total strikes) as he delivered his fourth straight quality start and 15th of the season. Crochet leads the American League in wins and strikeouts (183) while sitting second behind Tarik Skubal in ERA (2.18 to 2.24), putting him firmly in the Cy Young conversation. The Red Sox ace is scheduled to make his next outing on the road early next week in Houston.

Dean Kremer SP | BAL
Orioles' Dean Kremer: Takes eighth loss
Kremer (8-8) took the loss Tuesday against the Phillies, allowing four runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out six in six innings.
Four of the eight hits allowed by Kremer went for extra bases, including a two-run homer in the second inning by Max Kepler. Still, Kremer was able to settle in thereafter, allowing one run over his final four innings. He's now pitched at least five frames in all but three of his 23 appearances this season and has become a reliable innings eater for the Orioles this season. Kremer owns a 4.35 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 110:35 K:BB in 132.1 innings and lines up for a home meeting with the Mariners next week.

Ryan Bergert P | KC
Royals' Ryan Bergert: Falls in KC debut
Bergert (1-1) took the loss Tuesday, giving up two runs on two hits and two walks over 5.2 innings as the Royals were downed 6-2 by the Red Sox.
Making his first appearance for Kansas City after being acquired from San Diego as part of the Freddy Fermin trade, Bergert battled Boston ace Garrett Crochet to a 1-1 tie through five frames before the home squad finally pulled ahead for good in the sixth. Bergert tossed 61 of 85 pitches for strikes, falling just short of his first career quality start, and the 25-year-old rookie staked a claim to potentially handle at least one more turn through the rotation while Michael Lorenzen (oblique) completes a rehab assignment. If Bergert does get another start with the Royals, it would likely come at home early next week against the Nationals.

Ryan Pepiot RP | TB
Rays' Ryan Pepiot: Grabs seventh win
Pepiot (7-9) earned the win Tuesday, allowing three runs (two earned) on five hits and two walks over 5.2 innings against the Angels. He struck out six.
The right-hander worked through four scoreless innings before Jo Adell got to him for three runs across the fifth and sixth innings. Tuesday's outing followed a rocky July for Pepiot in which he posted a 5.03 ERA and 1.26 WHIP over 34 innings across six starts. While his season ERA sits at a respectable 3.77 over 136 innings, a 4.58 FIP suggests more regression could be on the horizon.

Jose Soriano RP | LAA
Angels' Jose Soriano: Allows seven runs in ninth loss
Soriano (7-9) took the loss Tuesday, allowing seven runs on seven hits and a walk over four innings against Tampa Bay. He struck out four.
The right-hander cruised through three scoreless innings before unraveling in the fourth, giving up seven runs sparked by a two-run homer from Brandon Lowe. Soriano remains a mixed bag for fantasy managers -- while his 4.01 ERA over 137 innings and 24 starts doesn't properly align with his more favorable 3.55 FIP, his modest 7.8 K/9 and elevated 4.0 BB/9 dampen his overall appeal.

Jose Berrios SP | TOR
Blue Jays' Jose Berrios: Nabs eighth win
Berrios (8-4) earned the win Tuesday, allowing four runs (three earned) on seven hits and a walk over 5.1 innings against the Rockies. He struck out five.
Berrios was far from dominant but provided enough length to come away with the win. The right-hander has now allowed multiple runs in five straight outings, posting a 5.55 ERA and 1.52 WHIP over 24.1 innings in that stretch. Despite the recent dip in form, his season line remains solid with a 3.84 ERA and 1.26 WHIP across 131.1 innings in 23 starts.

Davis Martin SP | CHW
White Sox's Davis Martin: Handed ninth loss
Martin (3-9) allowed six runs (five earned) on seven hits and two walks while striking out five over five-plus innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Mariners.
Martin yielded two homers and ran into more trouble during the sixth by allowing the first three batters of the inning to reach base. Tyler Gilbert couldn't clean up the mess, and Martin ended up back in the loss column after winning against the Phillies in his previous start. For the season, Martin has a passable 4.11 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 68:28 K:BB through 96.1 innings across 17 appearances (16 starts). He's projected for a home start versus the Guardians this weekend.

Bryan Woo SP | SEA
Mariners' Bryan Woo: Bounces back Tuesday
Woo (9-6) allowed one run on two hits and struck out nine without walking a batter over seven innings to earn the win Tuesday over the White Sox.
While one of the two hits he allowed left the yard -- a solo shot from Lenyn Sosa in the first inning -- Woo was otherwise excellent to bounce back from giving up five runs in his last start. His nine strikeouts Tuesday also matched his season high, while it was the first time since May 24 versus the Astros that he was able to avoid issuing a walk. Woo is now at a 3.02 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 136:25 K:BB through 140 innings over 22 starts this season. He is projected to make his next start at home versus the Rays.
