  • Rockies' Antonio Senzatela: Rough day vs. Giants

    Senzatela didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Giants, allowing seven runs on nine hits and three walks over four innings. He struck out two.

    After delivering a clean opening inning, Senzatela was tagged for four runs in the second before surrendering a three-run homer to Dominic Smith in the fifth. While the Rockies would ultimately stage a late comeback that got Senzatela off the hook for the loss, it was another rough showing from the right-hander, who's given up seven runs in two of his last three starts. Senzatela's ERA is up to 7.23 through 66 innings this season with a 2.03 WHIP and 35:24 K:BB. He's currently scheduled to face the Nationals on the road in his next outing.

  • Brewers' Nestor Cortes: Throwing another bullpen session

    Cortes (elbow) will throw another bullpen session Friday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    It will be his second time throwing off the bump since he was diagnosed with a left elbow flexor strain in early April. The buildup for Cortes has been slow, but he's making progress and could be ready to face hitters before long. Once he's cleared to pitch in games, the veteran southpaw will require multiple rehab starts.

  • Robert Gasser SP | MIL

    Brewers' Robert Gasser: Cleared to face hitters

    Gasser (elbow) will throw a live batting practice session later this week, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    It will be the first time Gasser has faced hitters since he underwent Tommy John surgery in June of 2024. The left-hander will continue to ramp up slowly and could make a return to the Brewers before the end of the 2025 season, if all goes well.

  • Andrew Heaney RP | LAD

    Pirates' Andrew Heaney: Ready to start Thursday

    Heaney (calf) is listed as the Pirates' probable pitcher for Thursday's game against the Cubs at Wrigley Field.

    Heaney experienced cramping in his left calf during his most recent start Saturday against the Phillies, but the Pirates never suggested that he was at any real risk of missing his next turn through the rotation. After inking a one-year, $5.25 million deal over the winter, Heaney has proven to be an excellent value signing for the Pirates. He enters Thursday's contest having gone 3-4 with a 3.24 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 52:24 K:BB over 72.1 innings through his first 13 starts.

  • Kodai Senga SP | NYM

    Mets' Kodai Senga: Bound for injured list

    Manager Carlos Mendoza said Thursday that Senga was diagnosed with a right hamstring strain and will need to spend time on the injured list, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Senga's hamstring forced him to make an early exit from his start against Washington on Thursday after tossing 5.2 shutout innings. The Mets won't know more about the severity of his injury until he undergoes an MRI on Friday, but the team has already deemed his injury significant enough to warrant a stint on the IL. Paul Blackburn will likely slide into the rotation until Frankie Montas (lat) and Sean Manaea (oblique) are ready to come off the injured list.

  • Wade Miley SP | CIN

    Reds' Wade Miley: Awarded another start

    Miley is slated to start Sunday's game against the Tigers at Comerica Park, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Miley made a two-inning relief appearance in his 2025 debut with the Reds back on June 4, but he's since moved into the Cincinnati rotation while Hunter Greene recovers from a right groin strain. The veteran southpaw was credited with a win in his first start Monday in Cleveland, but he gave up three earned runs on five hits and four walks over five innings. He'll make for a risky streaming option on the road versus a Detroit offense that has produced a collective 119 wRC+ versus left-handed pitching this season.

  • Mike Soroka RP | CHC

    Nationals' Michael Soroka: Falls to Mets

    Soroka (3-4) took the loss Thursday against the Mets, allowing four runs on three hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out five.

    Coming off off his first scoreless outing of the season, Soroka found himself in trouble early Thursday, issuing a pair of walks in the first inning before giving up a three-run homer to Jeff McNeil with two outs. Soroka would settle in, allowing just one additional run over his final four innings, but the Nats couldn't climb out of the early hole in an eventual 4-3 loss. The 27-year-old Soroka sports a 5.14 ERA despite posting a solid 1.12 WHIP and 40:10 K:BB through eight starts (42 innings) this season. He'll look to get back in the win column in his next start, currently slated for next week at home versus the Rockies.

  • Kodai Senga SP | NYM

    Mets' Kodai Senga: Exits with apparent leg injury

    Senga was removed from Thursday's start against the Nationals in the sixth inning with an apparent right leg injury, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Senga was covering first base and had to leap to grab a high throw from first baseman Pete Alonso. When he landed, he immediately grabbed at the back of his right leg and went down in a heap. Senga was able to walk off the field under his own power, but it looked to be a potentially significant leg injury. The Mets should have more on his status shortly. Senga had struck out five over 5.2 scoreless frames before exiting.

  • Bubba Chandler SP | PIT

    Pirates' Bubba Chandler: Can't find zone in very short start

    Chandler gave up one earned run on zero hits and four walks while recording just two outs in Wednesday's start for Triple-A Indianapolis.

    Chandler now has three four-walk starts in his past seven, logging a 3.81 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and 34:19 K:BB in 26 innings over that stretch. The young fireballer was dominant in his first six starts of the year (1.42 ERA, 0.67 WHIP, 36:7 K:BB in 25.1 IP), but it's possible he's trying too hard to force a promotion from Triple-A. Regardless, it doesn't seem like a promotion is imminent after he walked in a run and failed to complete the first inning Wednesday.

  • Austin Gomber SP | COL

    Rockies' Austin Gomber: In line for '25 debut Sunday

    The Rockies plan to activate Gomber (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list to have him start Sunday in Atlanta, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

    Colorado's decision to option No. 5 starter Carson Palmquist to Triple-A Albuquerque earlier Thursday seemed to signal that Gomber was on track to rejoin the rotation, and the 31-year-old has now been confirmed to make his 2025 debut with Colorado this weekend. After experiencing shoulder soreness in spring training, Gomber was expected to be in line for a brief absence to begin the season, but he had a setback coming out of a March 28 rehab outing with Albuquerque that extended his stay on the IL. He was cleared to resume his assignment earlier this month and has looked sharp in his starts with Double-A Hartford and Albuquerque, covering eight innings and striking out eight while allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits and three walks between those two outings. He tossed 69 pitches in his latest appearance Tuesday and should be ready to handle something close to a typical starter's workload Sunday.
