    Pirates' Johan Oviedo: Advances to sim games

    Oviedo (lat) has progressed to throwing sim games, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

    Oviedo is at the Pirates' spring training facility for the next step in his recovery. He'll still need to embark on a lengthy rehab assignment before returning, but he is expected to rejoin the big-league rotation at some point after the All-Star break.

  • Colin Rea SP | CHC

    Cubs' Colin Rea: Tagged with seven runs

    Rea (4-3) allowed seven runs on 11 hits and a walk over 5.1 innings Sunday, striking out two and taking a loss against the Mariners.

    Rea served up four home runs, including a pair by Dominic Canzone, in the loss. Rea did not allow a long ball through his first 18.2 innings this season but has since coughed up 13 of them in his last 10 appearances. The poor outing bumped his season ERA from 3.84 to 4.42 through 73.1 frames. Rea has produced a 6.89 ERA over his last six outings, allowing at least six runs in three of those. He's projected to start in Houston next weekend.

  • Miles Mikolas SP | STL

    Cardinals' Miles Mikolas: Falls to Reds

    Mikolas (4-5) yielded three runs (two earned) on four hits and a walk over five innings Sunday, striking out six and taking the loss against Cincinnati.

    Mikolas served up a home run to Matt McLain in the first inning but kept the Reds in check until they plated a pair of runs in the fifth. It was Mikolas' third consecutive loss, and he hasn't earned a win since May 23. He tossed 61 of 97 pitches for strikes and dropped his season ERA to 4.31 through 77.1 innings. Mikolas has produced a 3.50 ERA over his last 13 outings after he was crushed for nine runs (eight earned) in Boston on April 6. He's projected to start in Cleveland next weekend.

  • Padres' Randy Vasquez: Quality start in no-decision

    Vasquez took a no-decision in Sunday's 3-2 win versus the Royals, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks over seven innings. He struck out two.

    The San Diego righty collected his fifth quality start of the season, as he looked sharp in this 89-pitch outing. Vasquez completed a career-high seven frames, going toe to toe with Kansas City starter Seth Lugo. The only blemish on Vasquez's day was a two-run homer conceded to Salvador Perez in the sixth inning. The 26-year-old will carry a 3.60 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 45:37 K:BB through 80 innings into his next start, which currently lines up to be at Cincinnati next weekend.

  • Andrew Abbott SP | CIN

    Reds' Andrew Abbott: Rolls through Cardinals

    Abbott (7-1) yielded a run on three hits over seven innings Sunday, striking out three and earning a win over St. Louis.

    Abbott coughed up a run in the second inning before retiring the final 18 batters he faced in a dominant performance. He's given up one or zero earned runs in 12 of his 14 starts this season, but he was tagged with a combined nine runs in the other two. With Sunday's 100-pitch performance, he dropped his season ERA to 1.79 with a 72:20 K:BB across 75.1 frames. Abbott is 5-1 with a 1.59 ERA over his last seven outings. He's in line for a home matchup against San Diego next weekend.

  • Rockies' Antonio Senzatela: Picks up second straight win

    Senzatela (3-10) allowed two runs on four hits and a walk over 5.1 innings Sunday, striking out five and earning a win over Arizona.

    Senzatela gave up a run in the second and fourth innings, but Colorado's four-run fifth frame gave him his second straight victory. It was the first time he earned wins in consecutive outings since 2021. Despite the recent wins, Senzatela has not completed six innings in a start since May 20 and has registered a 6.75 ERA in six appearances since then. He owns a 6.48 ERA with a 40:28 K:BB through 76.1 frames this season. Senzatela is projected to take the mound in Milwaukee next weekend.

  • Quinn Priester SP | MIL

    Brewers' Quinn Priester: Early exit vs. Twins

    Priester did not factor into the decision Sunday against Minnesota, allowing three runs on nine hits over 3.1 innings. He struck out four.

    It was a tough outing for Priester, who gave up a season-high nine hits, including a pair of solo home runs, after allowing just one long ball in his previous 29 innings. Priester had won four straight outings prior to Sunday, posting a 1.96 ERA in that span (23 innings). Overall, the 24-year-old right-hander sports a 3.68 ERA with a 1.31 WHIP and 50:26 K:BB through 71 innings this season. Priester will look to get back on track in his next outing, currently scheduled for next week against the Rockies.

  • Brandon Pfaadt SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Brandon Pfaadt: Fades late in loss

    Pfaadt (8-5) yielded four runs on six hits and a walk over five innings Sunday, striking out seven and taking a loss against Colorado.

    Pfaadt was sharp through four shutout frames, allowing only two runners to reach scoring position during that span. The Rockies then piled on four runs in the fifth frame, capped off by Mickey Moniak's three-run shot. Pfaadt has now thrown fewer than six innings in six consecutive outings; during that stretch, he's produced a brutal 9.51 ERA, raising his season mark to 5.49. He threw 54 of 81 pitches for strikes and forced 13 whiffs during Sunday's loss. Pfaadt is lined up to face the Marlins at home next weekend.

  • Bryce Elder SP | ATL

    Braves' Bryce Elder: Falls to Miami

    Elder (2-4) took the loss Sunday against the Marlins, allowing five runs on 10 hits and a walk over 5.1 innings. He struck out four.

    Elder's struggled of late, allowing nine runs on 17 hits across 8.2 innings in his last two outings. His ERA has jumped to 4.77 with a 1.33 WHIP and 55:20 K:BB across 12 starts (66 innings) this season. Despite his recent struggles, Elder is expected to remain in Atlanta's rotation with AJ Smith-Shawver (elbow) out for the year. He's currently lined up for a tough home matchup with the Phillies in his next outing.

  • Robbie Ray SP | SF

    Giants' Robbie Ray: Fans seven in no-decision

    Ray did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 9-5 win against Boston, allowing four runs (three earned) on eight hits and one walk over five innings. He struck out seven.

    The San Francisco southpaw conceded a season-worst eight base knocks in this 88-pitch outing over which he fired 61 strikes. Ray allowed two long balls -- solo homers to Romy Gonzalez and Ceddanne Rafaela -- in a start for the first time since his first appearance of the season at Cincinnati on March 30. Despite this unsteady performance, Ray remains one of the elite starting pitchers in the game. He will carry a 2.83 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 104:36 K:BB across 92.1 innings into his next start against the White Sox in Chicago next weekend.
