  • Kyle Hendricks SP | LAA

    Cubs' Kyle Hendricks: Allows four runs in no-decision

    Hendricks allowed four earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out four across six innings in a loss to the Brewers on Monday. He did not factor into the decision.

    Hendricks surrendered two runs in the first inning, but he was able to strand the bases loaded to prevent any further damage. In addition, he gave up a home run to Avisail Garcia in the third inning. This was his first time giving up four runs since May 9, which not so coincidentally was also the last time he failed to come away with a win -- he'd won eight straight coming into Monday's game. The 31-year-old has a 3.98 ERA and 1.27 WHIP in 92.2 innings, and he's tied with Aaron Civale for the MLB lead in wins with 10.

  • Brewers' Freddy Peralta: Quality start spoiled by bullpen

    Peralta allowed two earned runs on two hits and four walks while striking out eight across six innings in a win over the Cubs on Monday. He did not factor into the decision.

    Peralta allowed a two-run home run to Ian Happ in the first inning, but he settled in with five scoreless innings thereafter and left the game through six frames with a 4-2 lead. He ended up not getting the win after the bullpen blew the lead, but it was his fifth quality start in his last six outings. The 25-year-old has a 2.17 ERA and 0.87 WHIP in 87 innings along with a premium strikeout rate, as his 12.6 K/9 is good for fourth in all of baseball.

  • Giants' Anthony DeSclafani: Surrenders three homers

    DeSclafani (8-3) took the 3-2 loss at the hands of the Dodgers on Monday, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks with six strikeouts.

    DeSclafani calmed down after allowing back-to-back solo shots to Mookie Betts and Max Muncy in the bottom of the first to allow only one more run, but the three runs proved too much for San Francisco to overcome. This was the right hander's first loss in over a month -- the last one also came against Los Angeles, on May 23 -- and he's now permitted three runs or less in six straight starts.

  • Jerad Eickhoff SP | PIT

    Mets' Jerad Eickhoff: Coughs up four homers

    Eickhoff (0-1) allowed five runs on eight hits and a walk over six innings Monday, striking out three and taking a loss against the Nationals.

    Eickhoff got off to an ugly start Monday, serving up back-to-back homers to Kyle Schwarber and Trea Turner to begin the first inning. He gave up four solo homers in the outing, including two by Schwarber. He tossed four shutout innings in his season debut on June 21 but he now owns a 4.50 ERA through nine frames. If Eickhoff gets another shot in the rotation, he could take the mound in Yankee Stadium this weekend.

  • Wade Miley SP | CIN

    Reds' Wade Miley: Grinds through six frames

    Miley allowed four runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out seven across six innings Monday against the Phillies. He didn't factor into the decision.

    Miley surrendered a pair of runs in the fourth inning and two more in the fifth, but his team would rally after his departure to get him off the hook for the loss. The southpaw hasn't received a decision in each of his last three starts, but he's pitched well of late, surrendering two runs or fewer in six of his last seven outings. Miley owns a 3.09 ERA and 1.11 WHIP with a 69:22 K:BB across 81.2 frames this season.

  • Tyler Anderson SP | LAA

    Pirates' Tyler Anderson: Hit with eighth loss

    Anderson (3-8) took the loss after allowing two runs on five hits and one walk while striking out three over five innings Monday against the Rockies.

    Anderson gave up the only two runs of the ballgame, one on an RBI triple to right in the third inning, and the other on a solo homer in the fifth. Despite losing three of his last four decisions, he hasn't exactly pitched poorly of late, holding his opponents to three runs or fewer in three of those outings. Anderson owns a 4.75 ERA and 1.23 WHIP with a 72:22 K:BB across 85.1 frames in 2021.

  • Josiah Gray RP | WAS

    Dodgers' Josiah Gray: Hurls sim game

    Gray (shoulder) threw a simulated game Friday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Gray has thrown multiple bullpen sessions and now a simulated game as he works his way back from a shoulder impingement. The club continues to discuss whether it will use Gray in a relief role or as a starter later in the season when he makes his big-league debut, but he's currently stretched out to be used in a starting role.

  • Kyle Freeland SP | COL

    Rockies' Kyle Freeland: Avoids significant injury

    Freeland left Monday's start against the Pirates due to cramping, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

    Initial reports are positive for the southpaw after exiting early Monday, and the team is optimistic this won't be a long-term injury, per Harding. He'll be considered day-to-day moving forward.

  • Kyle Freeland SP | COL

    Rockies' Kyle Freeland: Leaves start with injury

    Freeland exited Monday's start against the Pirates with an apparent left hamstring injury, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports.

    The left-hander helped himself by reaching twice on bunt attempts, but he appeared to tweak his hamstring running from first to third base during the bottom of the fifth inning. Freeland was working on a shutout prior to the injury with three hits and a walk allowed while striking out seven over five frames. It's unclear if the injury will affect his next turn through the rotation, which lines up for this weekend versus the Cardinals.

  • Marcus Stroman SP | NYY

    Mets' Marcus Stroman: Placed on bereavement list

    Stroman was placed on the bereavement list Monday.

    Stroman will be away from the team in the coming days following his grandmother's death. The right-hander is expected to start Saturday's game against the Yankees, but his move to the bereavement list will make room on the active roster for right-hander Sean Reid-Foley, who was recalled in a corresponding move.
