    Pirates' Andrew Heaney: Falls back to losing ways

    Heaney (4-8) took the loss Monday against the Royals, allowing four runs on six hits and one walk over three innings. He struck out two.

    Heaney threw 6.2 scoreless innings in his previous start, snapping a streak of three consecutive losses. However, the veteran southpaw ended up on the losing end Monday and didn't pitch into the fourth inning for the first time all year. In 96 innings this season, Heaney owns a 4.41 ERA and a 73:32 K:BB. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Twins on Sunday.

    Brewers' Freddy Peralta: Dominates in 10th win

    Peralta (10-4) picked up the win Monday against the Dodgers, allowing five hits and one walk with seven strikeouts over six scoreless innings.

    Peralta delivered his fourth scoreless start of the season, shutting down the Dodgers and striking out more than six batters for the sixth time this season. The 29-year-old has allowed fewer than four runs in 10 consecutive starts, logging a 6-1 record, a 2.82 ERA and a 59:18 K:BB across 54.1 innings. He'll look to keep the ball rolling this weekend against Washington.

  • Dodgers' Yoshinobu Yamamoto: Chased in first inning

    Yamamoto (8-7) took the loss Monday against Milwaukee, allowing five runs (three earned) on four hits and two walks with no strikeouts over two-thirds of an inning.

    Yamamoto retired two of the first four batters he faced before allowing a three-run homer to Andrew Vaughn, a single to Isaac Collins and a walk to Brice Turang. It seemed Yamamoto would get out of the inning without another run scoring, but a throwing error by Mookie Betts extended the inning. Manager Dave Roberts elected to remove Yamamoto after 41 pitches, marking the right-hander's shortest start in his two-year MLB career. In his last six outings, Yamamoto owns a 3.64 ERA and a 32:11 K:BB across 29.2 innings. He'll look to get back on track against the Giants this weekend.

  • Brady Singer SP | CIN

    Reds' Brady Singer: Yields two runs in losing effort

    Singer (7-7) took the loss Monday against Miami, allowing two runs on seven hits and one walk over five innings. He struck out three.

    After fanning 20 in 14 innings over his three previous starts, Singer struggled to keep the Marlins lineup off balance, generating a paltry six whiffs out of his 96 total pitches. The Cincinnati right-hander coughed up both runs in the fifth inning -- the first on an Agustin Ramirez double and the second on a Liam Hicks single. Singer has pitched to a 4.32 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 83:39 K:BB across 93.2 frames in his first season with the Reds. He is currently slated to make his next start against the Rockies at home this weekend.

  • Hunter Greene SP | CIN

    Reds' Hunter Greene: Avoids major setback

    The Reds announced Monday that Greene's (groin) MRI didn't reveal any significant damage, and manager Terry Francona noted the right-hander is likely experiencing fatigue, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

    Greene was scheduled to make a start with Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday, but the outing was put on hold after he felt tightness in his right groin. However, the club was pleased with the MRI results, and Francona indicated that Greene could be lacking confidence that his body will hold up. "He's still feeling it at times. I think there's not a lot of confidence there yet," said Francona. "I think it feels fatigued. We want to do the right thing. Sometimes, it's very difficult. That's why we got the MRI. You ask somebody to go out there, let it loose and go 100 mph, you don't want them worrying about something." While further imaging brought positive news, the Reds are expected to give Greene some more time during his rehab assignment to ensure he's back at full strength before bringing him back from the 15-day injured list.

  • Austin Gomber SP | COL

    Rockies' Austin Gomber: Suffers second loss

    Gomber (0-2) took the loss Monday at Boston, allowing five runs (four earned) on seven hits and one walk over 4.2 innings. He struck out five.

    The Colorado southpaw took a pounding at Fenway Park, as the Red Sox lineup roped four extra-base hits -- three doubles and a homer -- to chase Gomber after 91 pitches. Gomber appeared to still be working his way back from a shoulder injury that sidelined him through June 15, as he averaged 89.5 mph on his fastball. While that average was up from his season mark prior to Monday (88.7 mph), it was still below his 2024 average of 90.4 mph. Across 24.1 frames, Gomber has pitched to a 5.92 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 11:5 K:BB while allowing five homers. He currently lines up to make his next start at Cincinnati this weekend.

  • Kyle Hart RP | SD

    Padres' Kyle Hart: Sent back to minors

    The Padres optioned Hart to Triple-A El Paso on Monday.

    Hart tossed 3.2 perfect innings of bulk relief in Sunday's win over the Rangers, and his reward is a trip back to the minors a day later. The lefty has likely earned another look with the big club eventually, but for now he will re-enter the rotation at El Paso.

  • Michael King SP | SD

    Padres' Michael King: Moved to 60-day IL

    The Padres transferred King (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Monday.

    The transaction does not change King's timeline, as he is coming up on 60 days missed and is not close to rejoining the Padres' rotation. He is, however, making progress, as King has thrown multiple times on flat ground and will have a "touch and feel" bullpen session Thursday. King will need a few sessions off the mound and likely a rehab assignment before a timetable for his return becomes clearer.

  • Yu Darvish SP | SD

    Padres' Yu Darvish: Activated ahead of season debut

    The Padres activated Darvish (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Monday.

    Darvish is set to make his season debut Monday against the Diamondbacks following a long recovery from right elbow inflammation. The veteran righty hasn't pitched in an official game since he made a rehab start May 14, but he has been ramping up with a series of simulated games. Darvish threw 64 pitches in his last simulated game, so he will have a limited workload versus Arizona.

  • Michael King SP | SD

    Padres' Michael King: Slated to throw off mound Thursday

    King (shoulder) will throw a "touch and feel" bullpen session Thursday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    King played catch again Monday and will expand his flat-ground throwing to 120 feet Tuesday. While it will not be a regular bullpen session Thursday, it will be the first time King has thrown off a mound since he went down in mid-May with a pinched thoracic nerve in his right shoulder. King has a lot of boxes to check before he can be considered for a return to the Padres' rotation, but he's moving in the right direction.
