  • Edward Cabrera SP | MIA

    Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Nabs W vs Padres

    Cabrera (4-4) picked up the win Tuesday against San Diego, allowing one run on five hits and no walks with six strikeouts over 5.2 innings.

    Cabrera was lifted from his last start before the All-Star break with elbow discomfort, but he didn't need to miss a start due to the issue. The 27-year-old threw 86 pitches in Tuesday's win and allowed two or fewer runs for the sixth time in seven starts. During that stretch, he has a 2.82 ERA and a 39:9 K:BB across 38.1 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Cardinals next time out.

  • Padres' Stephen Kolek: Loses in MLB return

    Kolek (3-5) took the loss Tuesday against Miami, allowing three runs on eight hits and one walk with five strikeouts across 5.2 innings.

    Kolek returned after over two weeks at Triple-A El Paso to make Tuesday's start, and he fell one out short of his third quality start of the campaign. He's now allowed at least three runs in five of his last six starts, and he hasn't exceeded five strikeouts in nine outings. The 28-year-old has a 4.28 ERA across 73.2 big-league innings in 2025. If Kolek sticks in the rotation, his next start would likely come Sunday at St. Louis.

  • Chase Burns SP | CIN

    Reds' Chase Burns: Fans 10 in rough outing

    Burns (0-2) took the loss Tuesday against Washington, allowing six runs (five earned) on seven hits and two walks across 5.2 innings. He struck out 10.

    Burns flashed his elite strikeout stuff once again Tuesday, punching out 10 batters for a second straight outing and logging at least seven Ks for the fourth time in five career starts. The 22-year-old has been unpredictable so far, allowing 13 total runs (10 earned) in two of his starts but yielding just six runs in his other three outings combined. Burns has particularly struggled with power, surrendering a home run in four of five starts. He's tentatively scheduled for another tough test, as his next start is slated to come against the Dodgers.

  • Davis Daniel SP | ATL

    Braves' Davis Daniel: Roughed up by Giants on Tuesday

    Daniel (0-1) took the loss Tuesday against the Giants, allowing five runs on seven hits and four walks in five innings. He struck out three.

    The Giants hit Daniel hard in the second inning, plating four runs and getting six batters to reach base during the frame. The 28-year-old right-hander was still able to eat five innings for Atlanta's injury-plagued rotation, and he at least appears to be stretched out for a traditional starter's workload after throwing 92 pitches in third outing of the season Tuesday. Daniels owns a dicey 5.40 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 9:7 K:BB through his first 10 frames, and his next turn tentatively lines up for next week in Kansas City against the Royals.

  • Landen Roupp SP | SF

    Giants' Landen Roupp: Blanks Atlanta over five innings

    Roupp (7-6) earned the win Tuesday against Atlanta, allowing four hits and one walk in five shutout innings. He struck out six.

    Roupp delivered his third scoreless start in his last six games, and he hasn't conceded more than two runs in any outing during that stretch. While the right-hander had a poor 5.10 ERA following his April 30 start in San Diego, he's produced a much-improved 2.27 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 60:28 K:BB over his last 14 appearances (71.1 innings). Roupp will look to keep the good times rolling in a soft spot at home versus the last-place Pirates his next time out.

  • Frankie Montas SP | NYM

    Mets' Frankie Montas: Fans season-high six in third win

    Montas (3-1) earned the win Tuesday against the Angels, allowing two runs on eight hits and two walks in 5.2 innings. He struck out six.

    Montas set a season high in both strikeouts and hits allowed during the outing. Four of those eight knocks traveled for extra bases, and the 32-year-old right-hander has been unable to complete six innings in any of his first five starts this year. Montas hasn't established himself as a reliable fantasy option quite yet, posting a 4.62 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 23:6 K:BB over 25.1 frames, and he'll remain difficult to trust in next week's scheduled matchup in San Diego against the Padres.

  • Tanner Gordon SP | COL

    Rockies' Tanner Gordon: Likely to start Wednesday

    Gordon is expected to be called up from Triple-A Albuquerque to start Wednesday versus the Cardinals at Coors Field, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

    Gordon is set to join the rotation as a replacement for German Marquez (biceps), who is headed to the 15-day injured list. The 27-year-old righty has previously made three starts for Colorado this season, logging a 4.24 ERA and 1.35 WHIP in 17 innings.

  • German Marquez SP | COL

    Rockies' German Marquez: Likely to go on IL

    Marquez said Tuesday that he has been diagnosed with right biceps tendon inflammation and is likely to land on the injured list, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

    Marquez sustained the injury in his start in Sunday's loss to the Twins. The Rockies haven't provided a timeline for Marquez's return, but he'll likely be out for longer than the minimum 15 days. The Rockies plan to recall Tanner Gordon from Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday to replace Marquez on the 26-man active roster and in the rotation.

  • Brewers' Nestor Cortes: Nearing end of rehab assignment

    Cortes (elbow) is scheduled to make his next rehab appearance Thursday and is expected to throw around 90 pitches, Jack Stern of BrewerFanatic.com reports.

    Cortes has thus far made three rehab appearances between High-A Wisconsin and Triple-A Nashville, covering 12.1 innings in total and striking out nine while allowing one run on six hits and two walks. Assuming he checks out fine physically following Thursday's outing, Cortes will likely be cleared to return from the 60-day injured list next week. Though all five of the Brewers' starting pitchers are pitching effectively at the moment, Milwaukee could expand to a six-man rotation in order to accommodate Cortes' return.

  • Aaron Nola SP | PHI

    Phillies' Aaron Nola: Rehab start could come next week

    Nola (ankle/rib) will begin a rehab assignment next week as long as he gets through another live batting practice session this weekend with no issues, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

    Nola faced hitters this past weekend for the first time since going on the injured list in mid-May and is progressing well, per Phillies manager Rob Thomson. The veteran right-hander initially went on the IL with a sprained ankle and later was diagnosed with a stress fracture in his rib. Given his long layoff, Nola will require multiple rehab outings before rejoining the Philadelphia rotation.
