Tyler Glasnow SP | LAD
Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: Rough rehab outing Friday
Glasnow (shoulder) tossed 2.1 innings in a rehab outing with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday, allowing five runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out three batters.
Glasnow was slated to throw three innings Friday, but he needed 66 pitches to record seven outs before being lifted from the contest. The veteran right-hander used up most of his leash in the first frame, when he threw 40 pitches and gave up four runs. While Glasnow walked just one batter in the start, his control was off, as he spotted only 37 of his pitches for strikes. On a positive note, Glasnow's average fastball velocity was 96.6 miles per hour, and he induced nine whiffs. He's slated for at least one more rehab appearance, and given that he's already nearly built up to 70 pitches, Glasnow could have a chance at returning shortly before the All-Star break.

Dustin May SP | BOS
Dodgers' Dustin May: Battles to no-decision
May took a no-decision after throwing four innings, allowing four runs on six hits and three walks while striking out three in Friday's 5-4 win over the Royals.
May battled through his shortest start of the season. Walks were again an issue for the 27-year-old -- after three more walks against the Royals, he has now walked 13 batters over his last four starts. It will be interesting to see how the right-hander will hold up over the second half of the season, as he's already up to over 82 innings on the year, well past his previous career high of 56 innings.

David Peterson SP | NYM
Mets' David Peterson: Gives up five runs in loss
Peterson (5-4) took the loss against the Pirates on Friday, allowing five runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out five across 4.2 innings.
Peterson yielded four of his five runs in the second inning, with the Pirates driving in runs in four consecutive plate appearances, and he didn't get enough run support to escape with the no-decision. Peterson strung together seven quality starts in eight outings after the beginning of May, but he has given up five earned runs in back-to-back appearances, which has inflated his numbers to a 3.30 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 83:34 K:BB across 95.1 innings. He'll look to get back on track in his next start, which is lined up for next week at home against the Brewers.

Mitch Keller SP | PIT
Pirates' Mitch Keller: Captures second win of 2025
Keller (2-10) earned the win against the Mets on Friday, allowing one run on five hits and one walk while striking out four across 5.1 innings.
Keller allowed one baserunner or zero in each of the first five innings he pitched, with his lone blemish coming in the fourth, when he yielded a solo home run to Juan Soto. Keller has given up three earned runs or fewer in 10 of his last 11 starts, but he was finally able to get run support from the Pirates batters and came away with his first win since March 28. Keller now has a 3.90 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 77:25 K:BB across 99.1 innings this season. He'll look for his third win in his next start, tentatively slated for next week at home against the Cardinals.

Nick Martinez SP | CIN
Reds' Nick Martinez: Brings no-hit bid into ninth inning
Martinez (5-8) earned the win Friday against the Padres, giving up one run on one hit and two walks in eight-plus innings. He struck out six.
It was a magnificent performance from Martinez, who matched a career high with 112 pitches while vying for a no-hitter all the way into the ninth inning. Elias Diaz ripped a double in the ninth to spoil those hopes, but Martinez reached a season high in innings pitched and set a season low in hits allowed. The veteran swingman had worked out of the bullpen in his prior two outings after being rocked for a season-high seven runs in his prior start, and he's since fired 11 innings of one-hit ball covering his last three appearances following that abysmal June 19 start. Martinez will take a 4.12 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 69:21 K:BB over 94 frames into his next scheduled outing against the Red Sox, who are batting a paltry .200 versus right-handed pitching since the beginning of June.

Dylan Cease SP | SD
Padres' Dylan Cease: Uneven performance in Cincinnati
Cease (3-7) took the loss Friday against the Reds, giving up four runs (three earned) on five hits and three walks in four innings. He struck out eight.
Cease was able to rack up a whopping 20 whiffs on the evening, but he walked at least three for the fourth time in his last five starts. The 29-year-old right-hander had done a great job of keeping the ball in the yard of late, as he conceded just one home run in his prior six outings to Friday, but he matched a season high with two homers allowed against Cincinnati. Cease will bring a 4.53 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 117:36 K:BB over 91.1 innings into his next appearance, which is projected to come on the road against a formidable Phillies lineup.

Yu Darvish SP | SD
Padres' Yu Darvish: Tosses three simulated innings
Darvish (elbow) threw three simulated innings against Single-A hitters Wednesday, Yuki Yamada of MLB.com reports.
Per Yamada, Darvish threw 51 pitches, and his fastball topped out at 94.5 miles per hour. The right-hander threw about 10 more pitches than in his previous sim game June 20, so he appears to be gradually increasing his workload. Darvish said that he's uncertain what his next step will be, but he suggested that he could pitch in a minor-league game soon. Darvish also indicated that he's hopeful to return from the 60-day injured list before the All-Star break, though he acknowledged that he's unsure if that will happen. Darvish has yet to pitch for the Padres this season, and his return could be a big boost to a San Diego rotation that's currently without Michael King (shoulder) and Ryan Bergert (forearm) as well as Joe Musgrove (elbow), who isn't expected to pitch until 2026.

Michael King SP | SD
Padres' Michael King: Resumes throwing
King (shoulder) played catch Wednesday, MLB.com reports.
Playing catch is a meaningful step forward for King, who has been out of action for over five weeks. The right-hander is dealing with a pinched thoracic nerve in his right shoulder, which has resulted in him seeking advice from specialists around the country to better understand how to advance through the recovery process. Imaging on King's shoulder found no structural damage, and he said that he expects to return to action this season, though he'll likely remain sidelined until sometime after the All-Star break.

Max Meyer SP | MIA
Marlins' Max Meyer: Undergoes surgery
Meyer underwent labral repair surgery on his left hip Friday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Meyer landed on the 10-day injured list in early June due to what was initially diagnosed as a left hip impingement, but further tests revealed a more serious labral injury. The recovery timeline is roughly 6-to-8 months, so Meyer could be fully healthy for the start of spring training. He went 3-5 across 12 starts with a 4.73 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 68:20 K:BB across 64.2 innings prior to his injury.

Tyler Glasnow SP | LAD
Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: Slated for another rehab start
Glasnow (shoulder) will make his second rehab start with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
Glasnow took the mound this past Sunday for the first time since April 27, tossing two scoreless innings and walking three batters while striking out one and allowing no hits in his first rehab outing with Oklahoma City. He'll make a second start Friday and will have his right shoulder re-evaluated once he finishes his third rehab start next week.
