Freddy Peralta SP | NYM
Brewers' Freddy Peralta: Goes six scoreless in no-decision
Peralta didn't factor into the decision Sunday against the Padres, allowing just one hit and two walks over six scoreless innings. He struck out three.
It was an excellent outing from Peralta, who had allowed six runs over 11 innings in his previous two starts coming into Sunday. However, the Brewers failed to provide any run support in an eventual 1-0 defeat. Overall, Peralta is 5-4 this season with a 2.69 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 78:31 K:BB across 14 starts (77 innings). He's currently scheduled to face the Cardinals at home in his next outing.

Cade Horton P | CHC
Cubs' Cade Horton: Takes first loss of 2025
Horton (3-1) took the loss against the Tigers on Sunday, allowing four runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out six across five innings.
The Cubs fell behind in the first inning after Horton yielded a two-run double to Spencer Torkelson. Horton settled in to keep the Tigers off the board over the next three frames, but he ran into trouble again in the fifth and gave up two more runs on a Riley Greene single to left field. It was the most runs Horton has given up across six starts this season, and Sunday's start inflated his ERA and WHIP to 4.11 and 1.30, respectively, across 30.2 innings. He'll look to get back into the win column in his next start, tentatively slated for next weekend against the Pirates at Wrigley Field.

Zack Wheeler SP | PHI
Phillies' Zack Wheeler: Set to start Monday
Wheeler (personal) is scheduled to come off the paternity list to start Monday against the Cubs, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Wheeler's last start came versus Atlanta on May 29, when he surrendered six earned runs across 5.1 frames in his worst outing of the season. The right-hander has stepped away from the team for most of the past week to be with his growing family, but he's set to rejoin the rotation for Monday's series finale versus Chicago.

Shota Imanaga RP | CHC
Cubs' Shota Imanaga: Rehab start on tap
Imanaga (hamstring) completed a 37-pitch bullpen session Saturday and is expected to make a rehab start in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Tuesday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.
The left-hander has been on the shelf just over a month due to a strained left hamstring, but he's now entered the final stage of his rehab program. Imanaga built up to 39 pitches in his last live batting practice session, so he may need an additional rehab outing after Tuesday before rejoining the Cubs.

Tony Gonsolin SP | LAD
Dodgers' Tony Gonsolin: UCL intact
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts indicated Sunday that scans of Gonsolin's injured right elbow showed that his UCL is intact, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
Gonsolin underwent Tommy John surgery late in 2023, and there was concern about the health of his UCL when he experienced right elbow discomfort following his most recent start June 5. Despite the good news, Gonsolin will stop throwing for an undetermined period. He was placed on the 15-day IL on Saturday, but it's not clear how long he will be out of action.

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.

Michael McGreevy P | STL
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.

Justin Wrobleski P | LAD
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 P | 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.
