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.

Wells (elbow) allowed three hits and two walks in 2.1 scoreless innings for Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday. He struck out four.

Wells made his second rehab start, this time with the Triple-A club after pitching for Double-A Chesapeake his last time out, and he's now up to 4.1 shutout frames on his assignment. The right-hander built up to 49 pitches Tuesday amidst his recovery from UCL surgery, so he still has some work to do if the Orioles want to stretch him out to handle a starter's workload. Fantasy managers should expect Wells to make at least two more rehab appearances.

Matthews (3-3) allowed one run on five hits and a walk over five innings Tuesday, striking out six and earning a win over Detroit.

The lone blemish on Matthews' line came in the third inning on a Kerry Carpenter RBI double. Outside of that frame, Matthews allowed only one other runner to reach scoring position. It was a nice bounce-back outing after he coughed up five runs against Boston on July 30. He threw 86 pitches (55 strikes) and generated 12 whiffs Tuesday. Matthews has given up at least four runs in four of his eight MLB starts this season, resulting in a 5.17 ERA across 38.1 innings. He's projected to face the Royals at home this weekend.

Paddack (4-10) allowed four runs on six hits over four innings while taking a loss against the Twins on Tuesday. He did not record a walk or a strikeout.

Paddack faced the Twins for the first time since being traded from Minnesota to Detroit in July and struggled right out of the gate. He gave up three runs in the first inning, including Luke Keaschall's two-run homer. Trevor Larnach later belted a solo shot in the fourth. Paddack threw only 57 pitches (44) strikes, his lowest pitch total in any outing this year. He produced two straight quality starts before Tuesday's hiccup, and he's now sporting a 4.91 ERA with an 88:27 K:BB through 121 frames. Paddack is expected to face the White Sox in Chicago next week.

Blubaugh (1-1) allowed two runs on three hits and a walk over five innings Tuesday, striking out five and earning a win over Miami.

Blubaugh entered the game in the third inning after Steven Okert and Kaleb Ort combined to allow one run in the first two frames. It was Blubaugh's second career MLB appearance and first since April 30. He coughed up a pair of solo homers to Jakob Marsee and Eric Wagaman but otherwise looked solid. With Spencer Arrighetti (thumb) and Cristian Javier (elbow) both potentially back within the next week, it's unclear if Blubaugh will see more action with the big club or head back to Triple-A Sugar Land. He's produced a 4.00 ERA and an 11:2 K:BB over nine MLB innings.

Eovaldi (10-3) earned the win Tuesday against the Yankees, allowing one hit and no walks in eight shutout innings. He struck out six.

Eovaldi was nearly untouchable while setting a season low in hits allowed, as he kept a formidable Yankees lineup at bay Tuesday. The 35-year-old veteran right-hander fired at least seven frames for the third time in his past four starts, and he's been simply magnificent when healthy in 2025. With a 1.38 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 111:20 K:BB over 111 frames for the year, Eovaldi will be looking to keep the good times rolling next week at home versus the Diamondbacks.

Warren didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Rangers, allowing three hits and three walks in five shutout innings. He struck out five.

Tuesday marked the fifth scoreless start of the year for Warren, though he did walk a trio of batters for the fourth time in his last five outings. The 26-year-old right-hander worked around three doubles allowed, and he also threw just 52 of his 98 pitches for strikes en route to an impressive performance. Warren has a 4.44 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 133:54 K:BB over 115.2 innings, and he'll try to build on Tuesday's showing next week at home versus the Twins.

Melton tossed two scoreless innings of relief in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Twins. He walked two and struck out one.

After making two starts for the Tigers to begin his MLB career, Melton shifted to the bullpen for the first time Tuesday and didn't skip a beat. The rookie righty was moved to a relief role after Detroit added veterans Chris Paddack and Charlie Morton to its rotation before the trade deadline to supplement the trio of Tarik Skubal, Casey Mize and Jack Flaherty. Melton has more upside than Paddack or Morton at this point, but with Detroit looking like a serious contender this year, the team opted for more experienced starters down the stretch. The 24-year-old Melton has less fantasy appeal in a long-relief role versus starting, though his stuff could play up a bit, making him a potential weapon for the Tigers to use in a variety of spots.

Bieber (elbow) will make another rehab start with Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday, and Blue Jays manager John Schneider indicated that the right-hander will likely make one more start after that before being activated from the 60-day injured list, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Bieber threw 62 pitches this past Sunday for Buffalo in his first rehab outing for his new organization after being acquired from the Guardians at the trade deadline, and making two more rehab starts would allow him to get fully stretched out before taking a big-league mound for the first time since April 2024. That schedule would put Bieber in line to make his Jays debut on the road, either in Pittsburgh for a series that runs Aug. 18 through 20, or more likely, to begin a series in Miami on Aug. 22. It's not yet clear whether Toronto will consider using a six-man rotation at that point or bump someone like Eric Lauer to the bullpen, despite the southpaw's 2.83 ERA and 55:9 K:BB in 54 innings over his last 10 starts.

Miller (elbow) is scheduled to throw about 65 pitches during his second rehab outing Thursday with Triple-A Tacoma, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

The right-hander threw 52 pitches over four scoreless innings during his first rehab start last week, and he'll continue building up his workload Thursday. If all goes well in that outing with the Rainiers, Miller could be cleared to rejoin Seattle's rotation for his first MLB start since early June.
