  • Mets' Griffin Canning: Departs game with apparent injury

    Canning was removed from Thursday's contest against Atlanta due to an apparent left leg or foot injury, Andrew Tredinnick of The Bergen Record reports.

    Tredinnick notes that Canning's removal came after he took an "awkward step" at the base of the mound. The right-hander had been cruising prior to his departure, striking out three batters and giving up just one hit over 2.2 scoreless frames. Canning fell to the grass after getting hurt and needed help from Mets trainers to exit the field, but it will take further evaluation for the team to determine the extent of his injury.

  • Andre Pallante SP | STL

    Cardinals' Andre Pallante: Allows two runs in loss

    Pallante (5-4) took the loss against the Cubs on Thursday, giving up two runs on seven hits and two walks with two strikeouts over five innings.

    Pallante allowed a solo homer in the second inning -- his first homer surrendered since June 3 -- and issued a bases-loaded walk in the fourth. It was a mixed outing for the 26-year-old, who generated 12 whiffs but threw just 52 strikes on 94 pitches. He'll carry a 4.43 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 60:29 K:BB across 87.1 innings into a road matchup with the Pirates next week.

  • Shota Imanaga SP | CHC

    Cubs' Shota Imanaga: Earns win in return

    Imanaga (4-2) earned the win against the Cardinals on Thursday, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out three over five scoreless innings.

    Imanaga didn't show much rust in his return from the injured list, throwing 49 of 77 pitches for strikes while giving up just two hard-hit balls. Through nine starts this season, the southpaw has allowed two earned runs or fewer seven times while surrendering five in his other two outings. He'll carry a 2.54 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 37:15 K:BB across 49.2 innings into a home matchup with the Guardians next week.

  • Austin Gomber SP | COL

    Rockies' Austin Gomber: Strong in no-decision

    Gomber allowed a run on four hits and a walk while striking out one over five innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Thursday.

    Gomber rebounded from a nine-run meltdown versus Arizona last Friday to turn in his second strong outing in three starts since recovering from a shoulder injury. The southpaw has allowed 10 runs in total over 14.2 innings this season, but his numbers are inflated by the poor start. He's added a 5:3 K:BB and remains in search of his first win. Gomber's never been particularly strong in the strikeout department, and playing for the worst team in the majors will make wins tough to come by this year. His next start is projected to be another tough matchup at home versus the Astros.

  • Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw: Win streak up to four starts

    Kershaw (4-0) allowed one run on two hits and a walk while striking out five over six innings to earn the win Thursday over the Rockies.

    Kershaw opened his season with four straight no-decisions and has followed that up with four consecutive wins. During the winning streak, he's allowed a total of four runs over 23 innings while posting a 21:4 K:BB. The southpaw is at a 3.03 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 29:13 K:BB over 38.2 innings through eight starts this season. Kershaw is in line for another favorable matchup next week, when he's projected for a home start versus the White Sox.

  • Phillies' Cristopher Sanchez: Strikes out 11 in no-decision

    Sanchez did not factor into the decision in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Astros, allowing one run on five hits and no walks with 11 strikeouts over six innings.

    Sanchez allowed a run in the second inning but was otherwise dominant, throwing 69 of 99 pitches for strikes and generating 17 whiffs. The southpaw capped off an exceptional June with his fifth straight quality start, and he hasn't issued a walk in any of his past three outings. He'll carry a 2.79 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 103:28 K:BB across 93.2 innings into a home matchup with the Padres next week.

  • Sean Manaea SP | NYM

    Mets' Sean Manaea: Plays catch Thursday

    Manaea (oblique/elbow) played catch Thursday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    It's the first time he's thrown since he was given a cortisone shot after being diagnosed with a loose body in his left elbow. Manaea had to pause his rehab assignment briefly after the elbow issue popped up, but he's on track to make what is expected to be his final rehab start next week. The left-hander initially went on the injured list prior to Opening Day with an oblique strain and could make his 2025 Mets debut prior to the All-Star break.

  • Emmet Sheehan SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Emmet Sheehan: Twirls gem at Triple-A

    Sheehan struck out 13 batters over six perfect innings Wednesday for Triple-A Oklahoma City.

    This was a statement start from Sheehan in Sacramento, as he was optioned down last week after a strong four-inning outing for the big club. He won't be eligible to be recalled until the middle of next week, but the Dodgers don't have an off day from July 1 through July 9, so they could find a spot to use him. Sheehan threw 123.1 innings in 2023 before needing Tommy John surgery in May 2024. He has logged 21.1 innings thus far in 2025 between the majors and minors.

  • Robby Snelling SP | MIA

    Marlins' Robby Snelling: Making case for promotion

    Snelling allowed three hits over seven scoreless innings for Double-A Pensacola on Wednesday, striking out seven without issuing a walk.

    The 21-year-old southpaw seems to have turned a corner since a rough stretch in late April and early May in which he walked 13 batters over 9.2 innings. Over six starts since then, Snelling has compiled a much tidier 35:5 K:BB in 35.1 innings, along with a 2.80 ERA and 0.93 WHIP. He's knocking on the door of a promotion to Triple-A, and given the injuries that have wracked the Marlins' rotation, a big-league debut in 2025 can't be ruled out if he continues to display improved control and command.

  • Travis Sykora SP | WAS

    Nationals' Travis Sykora: Promoted to Double-A

    Sykora has been promoted from High-A Wilmington to Double-A Harrisburg, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

    Sykora got a late start to the season while recovering from hip surgery, but he's been utterly dominant across three levels since returning to action, posting a 1.11 ERA, 0.62 WHIP and 70:11 K:BB over 40.2 innings covering 10 starts. The 21-year-old went six innings in his last start for just the second time in his pro career and is ready to test himself at the Double-A level for the first time. Sykora has emerged as one of the best pitching prospects in baseball.
