  • Zach Davies SP | WAS

    Diamondbacks' Zach Davies: Early exit in return to rotation

    Davies didn't factor into the decision in Monday's 6-5 extra-innings loss to the Guardians, giving up four runs on three hits and two walks over two-plus innings. He struck out one.

    Two of the hits Davies allowed left the yard, including an Amed Rosario two-run blast to left-center field that chased the right-hander from the game with nobody out in the third inning. It was an inauspicious return to the rotation for Davies, who missed all of July with a shoulder issue, and he'll take a 4.28 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 63:28 K:BB through 82 innings into his next outing.

  • Tommy Henry SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Tommy Henry: Joins taxi squad

    Henry was added to the taxi squad for Arizona's series in Cleveland, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

    The left-handed Henry could see action in the majors as early as Wednesday. The Diamondbacks changed their scheduled starter for that day from Madison Bumgarner to "TBA." Henry has a respectable 3.83 ERA over 20 starts for Triple-A Reno in the Pacific Coast League this season.

  • Patrick Corbin SP | TOR

    Nationals' Patrick Corbin: Struggles again Monday

    Corbin (4-15) took the loss against the Mets on Monday, pitching 4.1 innings and allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out four batters.

    Corbin gave up three runs in the second inning and another in the third before being pulled with one out in the fifth frame. The left-hander racked up 12 swinging strikes but was done in by allowing five two-out hits. Corbin has struggled most of the season, but his problems have really been emphasized over his past five outings. During that stretch, he's registered a 10.29 ERA and 2.19 WHIP while taking five losses over 21 innings.

  • Johan Oviedo SP | BOS

    Pirates' Johan Oviedo: Sent to Pittsburgh

    The Pirates acquired Oviedo and infielder Malcom Nunez from the Cardinals on Monday in exchange for left-hander Jose Quintana and right-hander Chris Stratton.

    Oviedo has filled a versatile role for the Cardinals, posting a 3.20 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 26:7 K:BB across 25.1 innings. He should function as a multi-inning reliever in Pittsburgh's bullpen going forward.

  • Jesus Luzardo SP | PHI

    Marlins' Jesus Luzardo: Pitches well but loses in return

    Luzardo (2-4) took the loss against Cincinnati on Monday, allowing two runs on three hits and no walks while striking out five batters over five innings.

    Luzardo made his first major-league appearance since May 10 and was able to stick around for 81 pitches, 49 of which were strikes. He gave up a pair of runs in the second inning but held the Reds scoreless in each of his other four frames; however, he received little support from his offense and was tagged with the loss. It was nonetheless a positive return for Luzardo, who had previously been on the 60-day IL with a forearm strain. He should be a fixture in the Marlins rotation for the rest of the season barring any further injury issues.

  • Logan Webb SP | SF

    Giants' Logan Webb: Roughed up in loss

    Webb (9-5) allowed six runs on eight hits, a walk and a hit batsman while striking out just two in five innings as he took the loss versus the Dodgers on Monday.

    Webb had a run of eight straight quality starts in June and July, but his last two outings have been less than impressive. He gave up a two-run home run to Max Muncy in the second inning and then let the Dodgers cobble together a three-run rally in the third. He was also tagged for one more run in the fifth. The six runs allowed were a season high for Webb, who now has a 3.20 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 110:34 K:BB through 135 innings in 22 starts. The good news is that outings like this have been rare for the right-hander, who is projected for a much more favorable road start in Oakland this weekend.

  • Andrew Heaney RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Andrew Heaney: Strikes out seven versus Giants

    Heaney allowed a run on four hits, two walks and a hit batsman while striking out seven in four innings in a no-decision versus the Giants on Monday.

    Heaney had a sloppy first inning, walking in a run before settling down for the rest of his short start. He exited after 74 pitches (55 strikes), making little progress in stretching out after a 71-pitch outing last Wednesday. The southpaw has recorded at least seven strikeouts in three of his five starts this year, and he's yet to allow more than one earned run. For the season, he has a 0.77 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 34:9 K:BB through 23.1 innings. Heaney is projected for a tough home start versus the Padres this weekend.

  • Hunter Greene SP | CIN

    Reds' Hunter Greene: Dominant in victory

    Greene (4-12) earned the win over Miami on Monday, allowing one hit and no walks while striking out eight batters over six scoreless innings.

    Greene has shown flashes of brilliance at times this season, and his talent was on full display in his dominance of the Marlins on Monday. The rookie allowed only one hit -- a third-inning single -- though he also plunked two batters. Despite his 5.26 ERA on the campaign, Greene has shown that he can have this type of performance on other occasions; in fact, this was his third start of at least six innings and one hit or fewer this season. Greene's win total and ratios haven't been great in his first major-league campaign, but he ranks 10th in the league with 127 strikeouts over 102.2 innings.

  • Mike Clevinger RP | PIT

    Padres' Mike Clevinger: Picks up third win

    Clevinger (3-3) allowed a run on five hits and a hit batsman while striking out six in seven innings to earn the win Monday over the Rockies.

    Clevinger limited the damage to a sacrifice fly in the sixth inning. This was his third straight quality start as the right-hander looks to finally be back in dominant form after dealing with knee and triceps injuries earlier in the season. He's logged a 3.13 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 59:16 K:BB across 60.1 innings in 12 appearances (11 starts) this year. Clevinger is tentatively set to start on the road versus the Dodgers this weekend.

  • Rockies' Antonio Senzatela: Covers six innings in loss

    Senzatela (3-6) allowed three runs on five hits, three walks and a hit batsman while striking out five over six innings, taking the loss Monday versus the Padres.

    Senzatela left his last start after getting hit by a comebacker in his left foot, but he was able to shake off the minor injury without missing time. He had a rough first inning Monday, allowing a solo home run to Jurickson Profar and two more runs before settling to keep the Padres from adding to their lead over the next five frames. The right-hander has now gone five starts without a win, allowing at least three runs in each of those games. He has a 4.87 ERA, 1.71 WHIP and 48:20 K:BB in 77.2 innings across 16 starts. Senzatela is projected for a road start in Arizona this weekend.
