  • Bryce Elder SP | ATL

    Braves' Bryce Elder: Tallies fourth win

    Elder (4-6) allowed three runs on eight hits and three walks over five innings and picked up the win Monday against San Francisco. He struck out one.

    Elder was not sharp in this 108-pitch outing but benefitted from facing off against Giants starter Hayden Birdsong, who failed to record an out, allowing the Atlanta lineup to plate five runs in the first. Since a magnificent 12-strikeout performance at San Francisco on June 7, Elder has struggled with a 8.89 ERA, 1.94 WHIP and 21:15 K:BB over 27.1 innings. Across 84.2 total innings, the former All-Star sports a 5.63 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 70:31 K:BB, making him difficult to roster in any fantasy league. The Atlanta right-hander currently lines up to make his next start at Texas this weekend.

  • Kodai Senga SP | NYM

    Mets' Kodai Senga: Chased early in no-decision

    Senga conceded four runs on four hits and three walks over three innings in a no-decision Monday against the Angels. He struck out five.

    The Japanese right-hander struggled mightily in this 73-pitch outing, as he managed to notch only 39 strikes while his fastball averaged 93.6 mph (down from his season mark of 94.6). After allowing a solo homer to Logan O'Hoppe in the second inning, Senga surrendered three additional runs on three hits and two walks in the third, finishing his night. This performance raised the 32-year-old's ERA from 1.39 to 1.79 across 80.2 total innings. Assuming the velocity drop was not indicative of an underlying injury, Senga is currently slated to make his next start at San Francisco this weekend.

  • Keaton Winn RP | SF

    Giants' Keaton Winn: Reinstated from 7-day IL

    Winn (undisclosed) struck out a batter and allowed one hit and two walks over a scoreless inning Friday for Triple-A Sacramento after being reinstated from the 7-day injured list Thursday.

    Winn was shut down April 22 due to an unspecified injury and made four rehab appearances before being reinstated coming out of the All-Star break. The 27-year-old righty has a spot on the Giants' 40-man roster, but he's likely far away from getting another look in the big leagues.

  • Paul Skenes SP | PIT

    Pirates' Paul Skenes: Fires six scoreless in win

    Skenes (5-8) earned the win against the Tigers on Monday, allowing three hits and one walk while striking out six over six scoreless innings.

    Despite reports that his innings could be managed down the stretch, Skenes needed just 86 pitches to log his first quality start since June 19 and first win since May 28. The All-Star starter has been dominant in July, allowing just two earned runs with a stellar 27:2 K:BB over four outings. He'll carry a 1.91 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 137:31 K:BB across 127 innings into a home matchup with the Diamondbacks this weekend.

  • Zack Wheeler SP | PHI

    Phillies' Zack Wheeler: Piles up 10 more strikeouts

    Wheeler didn't factor into the decision Monday against the Red Sox, giving up two runs on seven hits and no walks in six innings. He struck out 10.

    Wheeler registered double-digit strikeouts for the third time in his last four starts, also recording a whopping 22 whiffs in the process. The All-Star right-hander has now thrown at least five innings in each of his first 20 outings of the season and continues to be a workhorse in Philadelphia's rotation, having now reached the century mark in pitches on 12 occasions as well. Wheeler sports a 2.39 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 164:26 K:BB over 128 frames, and his next appearance is slated for this weekend in a tough matchup against the Yankees in the Bronx.

  • Aiden May SP | MIA

    Marlins' Aiden May: Excelling in FCL

    May (elbow) has collected five strikeouts over four scoreless innings over three appearances in the Florida Complex League this season.

    May spent the majority of the first half of the season rehabbing from arthroscopic elbow surgery. He's been nearly perfect since returning to the mound, issuing just one walk in three outings.

  • Dodgers' Edgardo Henriquez: Called up Monday

    Henriquez was called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday.

    Henriquez will join the major-league roster for the first time this season after posting a 5.89 ERA and 1.71 WHIP with 26 strikeouts over 18.1 innings in 18 appearances, including two starts, with Oklahoma City this season. The right-hander allowed one run on two hits and two walks, while striking out five batters over 3.1 innings with Los Angeles in 2024. Lou Trivino was designated for assignment Monday, opening a spot for Henriquez in the Dodgers' bullpen.

  • German Marquez SP | COL

    Rockies' German Marquez: Undergoing MRI on shoulder

    Marquez will undergo an MRI on his right shoulder Monday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

    Marquez left Sunday's start against the Twins after yielding three runs on four hits and four walks across three innings of work. He struck out two and also surrendered his 13th home run of the season. Marquez was lifted after 58 pitches, admitting he couldn't fully extend at the end of his pitches, citing shoulder tightness. There's a chance the Rockies will skip Marquez's next scheduled start. His name has been thrown around in trade rumors ahead of next week's trade deadline.

  • Cardinals' Michael McGreevy: Recalled ahead of Monday's start

    The Cardinals recalled McGreevy from Triple-A Memphis on Monday.

    McGreevy is lined up to start Monday's series opener against the Rockies. The Cardinals are expected to keep McGreevy in the rotation for an extended look this time around, as he's starting in place of Matthew Liberatore this week. The Cardinals are skipping Liberatore's turn in the rotation since he's on pace to blow past his previous career high in innings pitched. McGreevy (1-1) sports a 4.22 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 16:3 K:BB across 21.1 innings pitched at the MLB level this season.

  • Ben Brown SP | CHC

    Cubs' Ben Brown: Back with big club

    The Cubs recalled Brown from Triple-A Iowa on Monday, Patrick Mooney of The Athletic reports.

    Brown is a candidate to eat up some innings in a bulk relief role Monday versus the Royals behind opening pitcher Ryan Brasier. He's posted a 6.13 ERA in 14 starts and two relief appearances with the Cubs this season, though he's racked up 91 strikeouts across his 79.1 frames.
