  • MacKenzie Gore SP | TEX

    Padres' MacKenzie Gore: Dealing with blister issue

    Gore was scratched from his scheduled start for Triple-A El Paso on Sunday due to a blister issue, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Gore has made four minor-league starts to begin the year and has posted a 5.94 ERA and 1.85 WHIP in 16.2 innings. The southpaw is expected to miss one turn through the rotation due to his blister, but the issue isn't expected to require a stint on the injured list.

  • Max Fried SP | NYY

    Braves' Max Fried: Another postponement Sunday

    Fried won't start as scheduled Sunday against the Mets since the game was postponed due to inclement weather, Mets owner Steven Cohen reports.

    It's the second postponement of the series as Friday's contest was also called off. The 27-year-old initially lined up to start Saturday, but was pushed to Sunday while Friday's scheduled starter Ian Anderson pitched Saturday. According to David O'Brien of The Athletic, Fried is now expected to take the mound Tuesday versus the Nationals, with Charlie Morton remaining on schedule to start Monday.

  • Jacob deGrom SP | TEX

    Mets' Jacob deGrom: Sunday's start postponed

    DeGrom won't pitch as scheduled Monday against Atlanta since the game was postponed due to inclement weather, Mets owner Steven Cohen reports.

    It's the second postponement of the series as Friday's contest was also called off due to weather. DeGrom will be pushed back to start Monday's series opener against Arizona, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

  • Marlins' Sandy Alcantara: Sunday's start postponed

    Alcantara won't pitch as scheduled Sunday at Boston since the game was postponed due to inclement weather, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

    It's unclear when the interleague contest will be rescheduled. The Marlins have yet to announce their updated rotation plans, but Alcantara figures to take the mound Tuesday versus the Blue Jays after Monday's scheduled off day.

  • Logan Webb SP | SF

    Giants' Logan Webb: Fans seven in win

    Webb (4-3) allowed two runs (one earned) on one hit while striking out seven across five innings to earn the win over the Dodgers on Saturday.

    The only hit against Webb was a Justin Turner double that scored Gavin Lux in the first inning. In Webb's last three starts, he is 3-0 with a 1.06 ERA and 21 strikeouts in 17 innings. For the season, the 24-year-old has a 3.86 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 9.9 K/9 in 49 innings. His next start is tentatively scheduled for Friday against the Cubs.

  • Pirates' JT Brubaker: Placed on bereavement list

    Brubaker was placed on the bereavement list prior to Sunday's game against the Rockies, Jake Crouse of MLB.com reports.

    It's unclear how long the the right-hander will be away from the team, but his next scheduled start is for Friday against the Marlins. Chase De Jong was called up to take Brubaker's roster spot.

  • Cardinals' Adam Wainwright: Posts third win

    Wainwright (3-4) won Saturday's game against Arizona, going five innings and allowing four runs on five hits and three walks with six strikeouts in a 7-4 victory.

    Wainwright cruised through the game's first four innings but allowed a Stephen Vogt two-run home run in the fifth and another two runs in the sixth before being removed. The veteran is a decent option with the potential to post super outings on occasion in his age-39 season.

  • Yu Darvish SP | SD

    Padres' Yu Darvish: Unsteady against Houston

    Darvish hurled five innings against the Astros on Saturday, allowing five runs (four earned) on four hits and three walks while striking out five. He did not factor in the decision.

    The right-hander kept Houston off the scoreboard for three innings, but he was tagged for two runs on a Carlos Correa homer in the fourth. Darvish then allowed three more runs in the fifth, though the final tally was unearned. The five total runs allowed were a season high for Darvish, who came into the contest having yielded no more than two runs in each of his past nine starts. In spite of the poor outing, he still owns fantastic numbers on the season, including a 2.16 ERA and 79:16 K:BB across 66.2 innings. Darvish lines up to face the Mets at home next weekend.

  • Julio Urias SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Julio Urias: Struggles in loss Saturday

    Urias (7-2) allowed seven runs (six earned) on 11 hits and two walks while striking out five across five innings, taking the loss to the Giants on Saturday.

    After beating the Giants in his previous start, San Francisco got its revenge on Urias and knocked him around for 11 hits. In addition, he surrendered a two-run home run to Donovan Solano in the third inning. The hits and runs allowed by Urias are both season highs for him. The southpaw has still had an outstanding year despite this rough start, and he is still sporting a 3.61 ERA and a 0.95 WHIP with 75 punchouts in 67.1 innings.

  • Trevor Rogers SP | BAL

    Marlins' Trevor Rogers: Stuck with loss in quality start

    Rogers (6-3) took the loss Saturday as the Marlins fell 3-1 to the Red Sox, allowing two runs on nine hits over six innings. He struck out six without walking a batter.

    The quality start was the sixth of the season for the young southpaw, but Miami didn't give him enough run support to turn it into a win. Rogers will carry a dazzling 1.87 ERA and 76:22 K:BB through 62.2 innings into his next outing.
