  • Nationals' Mitchell Parker: Goes 4.2 innings vs. Tigers

    Parker allowed four unearned runs on four hits and three walks over 4.2 innings in a no-decision Tuesday against Detroit. He stuck out one.

    Parker held the Tigers scoreless through his first four innings, though he'd ultimately allow four unearned runs in the fifth following his own error. While Parker wasn't at his best Tuesday, the rookie left-hander has still yet to allow more than three earned runs in 11 starts this season. His ERA is down to 3.21 with a 1.09 WHIP and 46:15 K:BB across 61.2 innings. Parker is currently in line to face the Marlins at home in his next outing.

  • Max Fried SP | NYY

    Braves' Max Fried: Falls to Orioles

    Fried (6-3) took the loss Tuesday against Baltimore, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out three.

    Three of the runs charged to Fried came on a Jorge Mateo homer in the second inning. It was a tough night for the 30-year-old left-hander -- Fried had won three consecutive starts prior to Tuesday, allowing just three earned runs over 24 innings while striking out 28 in that span. Overall, his ERA sits at 3.20 on the year with a 1.06 WHIP and 70:24 K:BB across 13 starts (78.2 innings). Fried will look to bounce back in his next outing, currently scheduled for early next week at home against the Tigers.

  • Bobby Miller SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Bobby Miller: Geared up for another rehab start

    Miller (shoulder) will make another rehab start with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

    Miller was effective in his last outing with Oklahoma City, pitching four innings, allowing one run on four hits and two walks while striking out two batters Friday. Manager Dave Roberts said that if all goes well Thursday, it'll be Miller's final appearance of his rehab assignment before he'll return to the major-league roster. The 25-year-old has been on the 15-day injured list since April 13 due to right shoulder inflammation, but Miller now appears to be on the doorstep of making his return after two months on the shelf.

  • Josiah Gray SP | WAS

    Nationals' Josiah Gray: Second rehab start set

    Gray (elbow) is scheduled to make a rehab start Friday with Double-A Harrisburg, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

    The 26-year-old opened his rehab assignment with Single-A Fredericksburg over the weekend and threw 43 pitches across three innings. Gray will continue to build up his workload in the minors, and manager Dave Martinez said up to five rehab starts could be necessary before the right-hander rejoins the Nationals.

  • Alex Cobb SP | DET

    Giants' Alex Cobb: Set for bullpen session

    Cobb (hip/shoulder) is expected to throw a bullpen session Tuesday in San Francisco, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Cobb has missed the entirety of the 2024 campaign while working his way back from hip surgery as well as soreness in his pitching shoulder. The 36-year-old appears to be on the cusp of taking a substantial step forward in his recovery, and if he can string together a couple successful bullpen sessions, a rehab assignment could be on the horizon. Cobb will still likely need multiple weeks to build up his activity before returning to the major-league roster at some point in July, barring any setbacks.

  • Zac Gallen SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Zac Gallen: Works off mound

    Gallen (hamstring) threw a bullpen session Tuesday, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

    Gallen began throwing off flat ground Saturday, and Tuesday marks the first time he's thrown off a mound since landing on the IL with a strained right hamstring. Manager Torey Lovullo said the 28-year-old righty is slated for another bullpen session Friday, after which he will likely progress to pitching sim games before returning to Arizona's rotation.

  • Reds' Brandon Williamson: Season-ending surgery possible

    Reds manager David Bell said Tuesday that Williamson is considering undergoing season-ending surgery to remove a lesion from his left shoulder, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

    Williamson has been out all season with shoulder problems and was recently pulled off a rehab assignment because of recurring discomfort. While the lefty would be done for the season if he opts to go under the knife, it's unclear what a timetable would look like if he decides against surgery.

  • Brewers' Carlos F. Rodriguez: Contract selected for MLB debut

    The Brewers selected Rodriguez's contract from Triple-A Nashville ahead of his start against the Blue Jays on Tuesday.

    Manager Pat Murphy confirmed after Monday's win over Toronto that Rodriguez would be making his MLB debut Tuesday, and the right-hander has now officially been added to the big-league roster. The 22-year-old has a 4.90 ERA and 4.1 BB/9 over 68 innings with Nashville this season, though he's given up just 12 runs with a 47:11 K:BB in his past seven outings.

  • Kodai Senga SP | NYM

    Mets' Kodai Senga: Resumes throwing off mound

    Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Tuesday that Senga (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Sunday and will throw another one Wednesday, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.

    It's the first time Senga has thrown from the bump since he had to be shut down due to right triceps tightness. The hurler originally landed on the injured list due to a shoulder injury and is not expected back until after the All-Star break. Senga will need multiple rehab starts before returning, but it's not clear when he might be ready to pitch in games.

  • Yilber Diaz RP | DET

    Diamondbacks' Yilber Diaz: Promoted to Triple-A

    The Diamondbacks promoted Diaz from Double-A Amarillo to Triple-A Reno on Tuesday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    Diaz is now one stop shy of the big leagues, as he'll head to Reno after punching out 77 batters in 54 innings at Amarillo. While he showcased exceptional strikeout stuff, the 23-year-old went 3-5 with a 4.33 ERA across 11 starts in Double-A this season. He's considered one of the Diamondbacks' top pitching prospects.
