Sonny Gray SP | BOS
Cardinals' Sonny Gray: Roughed up by Brewers
Gray (7-2) took the loss Thursday against the Brewers after giving up six runs on eight hits and one walk in 4.1 innings. He struck out four.
Gray allowed his second-most runs of the season in what was tied for his second-shortest outing of the year. The veteran right-hander did at least exhibit his usual control, walking one or fewer in his seventh straight start, but he fanned fewer than five for the first time in his past five outings. Gray is still in possession of a healthy 3.84 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 85:15 K:BB over 79.2 innings, and he'll have a prime opportunity to right the ship against the lowly White Sox in his next scheduled appearance.

Jacob Misiorowski SP | MIL
Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: OK after injury scare
Misiorowski spoke to the media after Thursday's start against the Cardinals and said he was feeling fine despite suffering an apparent leg injury, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Misiorowski was brilliant through five innings in his debut, not allowing a hit or a run. He was lifted one batter into the sixth frame after suffering an apparent ankle or leg injury, though the team clarified that it was just cramping. Despite the scare, Misiorowski should be ready for his next turn through the rotation.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Good news after exit
Misiorowski exited Thursday's start against the Cardinals due to cramping in his right calf and quad, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
Misiorowski enjoyed an excellent big-league debut Thursday, holding the Cardinals scoreless and hitless across five innings. He left with an apparent ankle injury in the sixth, though the ultimate diagnosis appears to be more favorable. Misiorowski's status will still be worth monitoring prior to his next turn through the rotation.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Exits with ankle issue
Misiorowski exited with training staff after appearing to turn his ankle in the sixth inning of Thursday's game against the Cardinals, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Misiorowski went five scoreless innings in his major-league debut and didn't allow a hit while striking out five and walking three. He came back out for the sixth frame but suffered the injury during the first at-bat. The nature of the issue is unclear, but more details should emerge following the game.

Antonio Senzatela SP | COL
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.

Nestor Cortes SP | SD
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 P | 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.
