  • Chase Petty SP | CIN

    Reds' Chase Petty: Officially promoted

    The Reds recalled Petty from Triple-A Louisville on Saturday.

    The 22-year-old will come up from the minors to handle bulk-relief duties against the Cardinals on Saturday after opener Brent Suter exits the game. Petty has given up 13 runs through 5.1 innings in his big-league career thus far, though he owns a 2.76 ERA across 45.2 frames at Louisville.

  • Nick Pivetta SP | SD

    Padres' Nick Pivetta: Hit hard in no-decision

    Pivetta didn't factor into the decision Friday, giving up four runs on six hits and two walks over 4.2 innings in a 6-5 loss to the Royals. He struck out three.

    Four of the six hits off Pivetta went for extra bases, including a solo shot by Bobby Witt in the first inning and a three-run blast by Jonathan India in the fifth that helped chase the right-hander from the game. Pivetta's homeritis is returning with a vengeance as the weather begins to warm up, and over his last 10 starts and 54 innings he's been taken deep 10 times, fueling a 5.00 ERA despite a 1.26 WHIP and 61:17 K:BB. He'll try to keep the ball in the park in his next trip to the mound, which lines up to come at home next week against the Nationals.

  • Cardinals' Michael McGreevy: Likely to make spot start Tuesday

    The Cardinals are likely to recall McGreevy from Triple-A Memphis to start Tuesday's game against the Cubs, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

    McGreevy was returned to Memphis on Friday following a spot start in Thursday's doubleheader versus the White Sox, but because he was serving as the club's 27th man that day, he is eligible to be recalled immediately rather than having to wait the typical 15 days. Giving McGreevy another spot start allows the Cardinals to provide extra rest for the regular members of their rotation amidst a stretch without many off days. The rookie right-hander tossed five innings of one-run ball against the White Sox and boasts a 2.70 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 15:2 K:BB over 16.2 frames at the big-league level in 2025.

  • Rockies' Carson Palmquist: Receiving another start

    Palmquist is slated to start Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks at Coors Field.

    The rookie will pick up a second turn through the rotation after being called up from Triple-A Albuquerque to serve as a replacement for lefty Kyle Freeland (back), who was placed on the injured list last weekend. While stepping in for Freeland in Monday's 6-4 win over the Nationals, Palmquist took a no-decision and gave up four earned runs on four hits and three walks over 4.2 innings. Over his six starts this season with the Rockies, Palmquist owns a 7.76 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 18:16 K:BB in 26.2 innings.

  • Austin Gomber SP | COL

    Rockies' Austin Gomber: Crushed by Arizona

    Gomber (0-1) took the loss Friday as the Rockies fell 14-8 to the Diamondbacks, coughing up nine runs on 12 hits and a walk over 4.2 innings. He failed to strike out a batter.

    After a strong season debut Sunday in his return from a shoulder injury, Gomber got caught up in a classic Coors Field barn burner. Half the hits off the southpaw went for extra bases, including homers by Ketel Marte, Eugenio Suarez and Ildemaro Vargas, and he managed only four swinging strikes among his 81 pitches (57 total strikes). Gomber's next start is scheduled to come on the road next week, but the matchup won't get any easier as he faces the Dodgers.

  • Chase Petty SP | CIN

    Reds' Chase Petty: Working behind opener Saturday

    Petty is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Louisville to work in relief behind opening pitcher Brent Suter in Saturday's game against the Cardinals, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Manager Terry Francona is labeling Saturday's contest as a bullpen day, but assuming he's formally recalled from the Reds' taxi squad, Petty will likely be tasked with covering multiple innings in relief once Suter exits the contest. Petty yielded 13 earned runs in 5.1 innings over his prior two big-league appearances this season, but he pitched to a 2.70 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 17:10 K:BB in 16.2 innings over four starts with Louisville upon being demoted May 21.

  • Zac Gallen SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Zac Gallen: Escapes Coors with win

    Gallen (5-8) picked up the win Friday, surrendering seven runs on 10 hits and a walk over five innings in a 14-8 victory over the Rockies. He struck out five.

    In a classic Coors Field offensive free-for-all, Gallen got rocked for six runs in the fourth inning, including homers by Ryan McMahon and Mickey Moniak. Arizona retook the lead in the top of the fifth, however, and the right-hander got through the minimum frames necessary to qualify for the win. The seven runs allowed tied Gallen's season-worst performance, and he'll carry a 5.60 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 86:41 K:BB through 91.2 innings into his next outing, which lines up to come on the road next week against the White Sox.

  • Tink Hence SP | STL

    Cardinals' Tink Hence: Part of combined no-no at Double-A

    Hence struck out eight over 4.1 scoreless innings as part of a combined no-hitter in Double-A Springfield's win over Corpus Christi on Friday.

    Hence was making his first start for Springfield after five rehab outings as he came back from a right rib cage strain. He faced the minimum in his 4.1 frames, with his leadoff walk in the fourth inning immediately getting erased on a caught stealing. Zane Mills, Austin Love and Sean Harney followed Hence to complete the no-no. Hence got his pitch count up to 66 in the encouraging outing and will continue to build up his stamina.

  • Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Dazzles in second win

    Misiorowski (2-0) picked up the win Friday against the Twins, giving up two runs on one hit and one walk in six-plus innings. He struck out six.

    Misiorowski was perfect through six innings, which got him up to 11 hitless frames to begin his major-league career, and he even reached 101 mph with his fastball a dozen times. A Byron Buxton walk and Matt Wallner's ensuing two-run shot ended the hurler's outstanding evening in the seventh, but Misiorowski still boasts a 1.64 ERA, 0.55 WHIP and 11:5 K:BB across his first 11 innings. The rookie right-hander's next appearance is slated for next week versus the Pirates, who rank dead last in MLB in OPS (.634) since April 26.

  • Yu Darvish SP | SD

    Padres' Yu Darvish: Tosses two simulated innings

    Darvish (elbow) threw around two innings and 40 pitches in a simulated game Friday, MLB.com reports.

    Darvish continues to progress after having his throwing program temporarily paused as a result of experiencing soreness following a rehab appearance May 14. The veteran hurler was transferred to the 60-day injured list June 16, though that was primarily a procedural move since he had already missed more than two months at that point. The Padres have expressed optimism that Darvish will be able to make his return to the team's rotation by the end of June, but that scenario is looking iffy given that he hasn't yet resumed a rehab assignment.
