  • Andrew Heaney RP | LAD

    Pirates' Andrew Heaney: Pulled with calf issue

    Heaney was dealing with left calf cramping when he exited Saturday's game against the Phillies, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Heaney delivered six strong innings, allowing one earned run on four hits and no walks before being pulled. He threw an errant pitch against Nick Castellanos and was lifted immediately afterward, creating some concern of an arm injury that proved to be unfounded.

  • Cardinals' Michael McGreevy: Called up for Sunday's start

    The Cardinals recalled McGreevy from Triple-A Memphis to start Sunday against the Dodgers.

    The right-hander made his season debut in early May with 5.2 scoreless frames for the Cardinals and will take the mound again Sunday in a tough matchup versus Los Angeles. McGreevy is one of the organization's top prospects and has pitched well at Memphis this season with a 2.78 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 58:12 K:BB across 55 innings. According to John Denton of MLB.com, manager Oliver Marmol has already indicated that McGreevy is likely to stick with the Cardinals beyond Sunday's contest.

  • Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Sticking around in rotation

    Wrobleski is slated to start Wednesday's game in San Diego.

    The left-hander was summoned from Triple-A Oklahoma City for a start Friday, taking a loss while allowing four earned runs on six hits and three walks over six innings against the Cardinals. With the Los Angeles pitching staff hit hard by injuries, Wrobleski will be given the chance to make at least one more turn through the rotation, but he may not be guaranteed any starts after that.

  • Chase Burns SP | CIN

    Reds' Chase Burns: Dominant in Double-A shutout

    Burns allowed three hits and struck out six in a complete-game, seven-inning shutout victory for Double-A Chattanooga on Saturday.

    Burns was masterful in retiring the first 17 batters he faced before allowing three singles over his final 1.1 innings. The Reds' top pitching prospect was still hitting 98 mph in his final frame, per Jesse Borek and Cole Winetraub of MLB.com. The right-hander has walked just four batters over 42 innings since his promotion to Double-A and owns a combined 75:9 K:BB on the season.

  • Logan Webb SP | SF

    Giants' Logan Webb: Strong showing in no-decision

    Webb did not factor into the decision Saturday, allowing two runs on six hits and no walks over six innings against Atlanta. He struck out 10.

    Webb struck out double-digit batters for the fourth time this season. San Francisco's ace has been both consistent and effective in 2025, pitching to a 2.58 ERA and 1.16 WHIP across 87.1 innings in 14 starts. If he maintains this level of performance, the 28-year-old is on pace to record his first sub-3.00 ERA season since 2022 and set a career high in strikeouts.

  • Bryce Elder SP | ATL

    Braves' Bryce Elder: Sets career high in strikeouts

    Elder did not factor into the decision Saturday, allowing one run on three hits and no walks over eight innings against San Francisco. He struck out 12.

    The right-hander delivered his most dominant outing of the season, setting a career high with 12 strikeouts while allowing just one run on a Wilmer Flores homer in the fourth inning. Elder has bounced between the majors and Triple-A, but he's shown improvement as the season has progressed, posting a 2.97 ERA and 0.96 WHIP over his past five starts with Atlanta. The 26-year-old should remain in the rotation with AJ Smith-Shawver (elbow) out.

  • Nationals' Mitchell Parker: Takes sixth loss

    Parker (4-6) took the loss Saturday, allowing two runs (one earned) on four hits and no walks over six innings against Texas. He struck out five.

    Parker delivered six solid innings, but a lack of run support from Washington resulted in his sixth loss of the season. Despite the defeat, this was a much-needed rebound performance for the southpaw, who entered the game with a 7.99 ERA and 1.69 WHIP over his previous seven starts.

  • Padres' Stephen Kolek: Records 5.2 scoreless frames again

    Kolek didn't factor in the decision against Milwaukee on Saturday, tossing 5.2 scoreless innings during which he allowed three hits and four walks while striking out two batters.

    Kolek struggled with his control, as he threw just 51 of 88 pitches for strikes and issued a season-high four free passes. However, the right-hander didn't allow any extra-base hits and let just one Brewer get to third base. This was the second straight start in which Kolek finished with exactly 5.2 scoreless frames, and he's now gone 15.1 innings since last giving up a run. Kolek has been a solid asset for the Padres since moving into the rotation in early May, posting a 3.00 ERA and 1.24 WHIP despite a mediocre 29:16 K:BB across 42 frames.

  • Jose Quintana SP | MIL

    Brewers' Jose Quintana: Holds Padres to one run Saturday

    Quintana pitched five innings in a no-decision against San Diego on Saturday, allowing one run on five hits and three walks while striking out four batters.

    Quintana allowed a fair number of baserunners, but none of the five hits against him went for extra bases. The southpaw was limited to five frames as he racked up 101 pitches, and he departed in line for the loss before a seventh-inning Milwaukee rally took him off the hook. Quintana has completed exactly five frames in each of his two starts since being activated off the IL on June 1, and he's yielded just three runs despite a 7:7 K:BB during that span. He'll look for his first victory since late April the next time he takes the mound, which lines up to be at home against St. Louis next week.

  • German Marquez SP | COL

    Rockies' German Marquez: Gives up three homers in loss

    Marquez (2-8) allowed four runs on eight hits and struck out three without walking a batter over five innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Mets.

    Marquez allowed three of those four runs on solo home runs by Ronny Mauricio, Jared Young and Jeff McNeil. Prior to Saturday, Marquez had gone five starts (28 innings) without allowing a homer. He's given up a reasonable seven long balls across 13 starts this year, but he's also frequently gotten punished by balls that stayed in the yard, pitching to a 7.00 ERA. He's added a 1.68 WHIP and 41:21 K:BB over 63 innings as well, so Saturday's strong display of control shouldn't be considered the norm. Marquez is tentatively projected to make his next start at Atlanta.
