  • Rockies' Connor Seabold: Struggles again Saturday

    Seabold (1-7) allowed six runs on six hits and two walks while striking out one over 2.1 innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Yankees.

    Seabold has completely fallen apart with 30 runs allowed over his last 19 innings. All of them have been earned, and yielding 10 home runs in that span certainly isn't helping his cause, though half of those long balls have come in his two road starts in that span. Seabold now has a 7.18 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 54:24 K:BB through 72.2 innings on the year. Despite the crooked numbers, the Rockies are currently lacking in pitching depth, so he can be tentatively projected to make a road start in Miami next week.

  • Brewers' Freddy Peralta: Blanks Cincinnati

    Peralta (6-7) earned the win Saturday, allowing one hit and two walks over six scoreless innings against the Reds. He struck out six.

    Peralta fired off six scoreless innings Saturday, marking his first scoreless outing since April 3, and set a season low in hits allowed. Though the 27-year-old has struggled this season with a 4.41 ERA, Peralta has maintained his strikeout arsenal, owning a 10.38 K/9 through 98 innings (18 appearances). Peralta will look to continue his post-All-Star break success in his next start, which is tentatively scheduled to come against Atlanta at American Family Field next week.

  • Alex Wood RP | ATH

    Giants' Alex Wood: Making start Sunday

    Wood will start for the Giants on Sunday in Pittsburgh, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Wood has been up-and-down this season while being used as a starter and bulk reliever, but he did toss five shutout frames in a bulk role his last time out. The left-hander will be making his first start since June 22.

  • Max Fried SP | NYY

    Braves' Max Fried: Three scoreless in rehab start

    Fried (forearm) struck out three over three scoreless frames in a rehab start with High-A Rome on Saturday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

    The left-hander yielded two hits on the evening and didn't issue a walk. Fried needed only 30 pitches to get through his three innings, so he threw some more in the bullpen after the game in order to build up a little more. He certainly needs to get stretched out more, but Fried has looked good in two rehab starts with 4.1 scoreless innings.

  • Trevor Rogers SP | BAL

    Marlins' Trevor Rogers: Not yet ready to throw

    The Marlins announced Friday that Rogers (lat/biceps) has resumed active range of motion in his right shoulder, but he still hasn't been cleared to resume throwing, MLB.com reports.

    Rogers was initially placed on the injured list April 21 due to a strain of the biceps in his (left) throwing arm, but rehabbing the lat strain to his non-throwing arm -- which he sustained during a rehab assignment in early June -- appears to be the greater priority at the moment. Now that he's regained range of motion in his right shoulder, Rogers may not have to wait long before he's able to start playing catch again, though the Marlins haven't offered up a timeline for when that might happen. Whenever he's deemed ready to begin a throwing program, Rogers could need around a month to complete his progression, so fantasy managers probably shouldn't count on him returning from the 60-day IL until around mid-August.

  • Edward Cabrera SP | CHC

    Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Completes sim game, may return soon

    Cabrera (shoulder) threw a five-inning simulated game Thursday with the Marlins' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Though Cabrera hasn't pitched in an official minor-league game since landing on the 15-day injured list June 17 with a right shoulder impingement, the 25-year-old looks like he could be cleared to return from the shelf without requiring a formal rehab assignment beforehand. According to McPherson, Cabrera posted on his personal Instagram account that he rejoined the Marlins for their series in Baltimore this weekend, which suggests that he won't be reporting to a minor-league affiliate for a rehab start. If that's the case, Cabrera could slot back into the Miami rotation when the team requires a fifth starter Tuesday in St. Louis for the first time since the All-Star break.

  • Miles Mikolas RP | WAS

    Cardinals' Miles Mikolas: Could make next start Monday

    Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Mikolas could be an option to start Monday's series opener versus the Marlins after the right-hander tossed only 34 pitches in his start Friday against the Nationals before the game was suspended in the bottom of the third inning due to inclement weather, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

    Before rain descended on Busch Stadium, Mikolas was on his way to a strong start, as he struck out two over three perfect innings. Fantasy managers who deployed Mikolas in weekly lineups should see his statistics from Friday show up once the suspended game is completed Saturday, but outside of a scorer's decision, the right-hander won't be able to qualify for the win even though the Cardinals held a 1-0 lead at the time play was suspended. Mikolas' workload from Friday will also take him out of the mix for pitching again this weekend, but he looks like he'll be ready to go on two days rest Monday if the Cardinals elect to go that route.

  • Cardinals' Adam Wainwright: Throwing off mound Tuesday

    Wainwright (shoulder) will begin throwing off a mound Tuesday, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    After receiving multiple injections in his right shoulder, Wainwright is now set to begin working toward a return. Manager Oliver Marmol said the goal is for Wainwright to return as a starter, so he will likely require multiple rehab outings in the minors down the line in order to build his arm back up. The veteran righty holds a 7.66 ERA and 1.99 WHIP across 51.2 innings over 11 starts this season.

  • Quinn Priester SP | MIL

    Pirates' Quinn Priester: Promotion incoming

    Priester will be called up to make his MLB debut Monday against the Guardians, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Priester hasn't been particularly special in Triple-A Indianapolis this season, posting a 4.31 ERA and 1.36 WHIP alongside a 84:35 K:BB through 87.2 innings. Nonetheless, he will be called upon to round out the Pirates' rotation and make his MLB debut Monday.

  • Nick Lodolo SP | CIN

    Reds' Nick Lodolo: Out of boot

    Lodolo (lower leg) shed his walking boot and is playing catch, MLB.com reports.

    Lodolo had been throwing from a stool before removing the boot and is now on his feet playing catch. The left-hander arrived at Cincinnati's training complex in Goodyear (Ariz.) on July 3 to begin a throwing program. Reds manager David Bell said Lodolo is taking it slow and will likely return some time after fellow starter Hunter Greene (hip), who is expected to be activated in early August.
