Valente Bellozo SP | COL
Marlins' Valente Bellozo: Remaining in rotation
Bellozo is scheduled to start Wednesday's game against the Dodgers in Miami.
Bellozo received the call back to the big leagues last week and stepped in as Miami's new No. 5 starter after Connor Gillispie was demoted to Triple-A Jacksonville. The 25-year-old righty didn't have a strong showing in his start this past Friday, taking a loss to the Athletics while allowing five earned runs on four hits and four walks. Despite the poor outing, Bellozo will receive a second turn through the rotation, but he's unlikely to be in line for a lengthy stay with the big club. Ryan Weathers (forearm) has already made two rehab starts in the minors and could be ready to come off the 15-day injured list to bump Bellozo from the rotation by the middle of the month.

Logan Webb SP | SF
Giants' Logan Webb: Rolls through Rockies
Webb (4-2) allowed a run on six hits and two walks over seven innings Sunday, striking out six and earning a win over Colorado.
Webb tossed four shutout frames before the Rockies broke through with a run in the fifth inning. He limited the damage and picked up an easy win after his hiccup against the Padres in his last outing. Webb has delivered five quality starts in eight appearances this season, resulting in a 2.61 ERA over 48.1 innings. He's struck out at least six batters in four straight starts and is now sporting a 56:13 K:BB. Webb is lined up to start in Minnesota next weekend.

Kyle Harrison SP | MIL
Giants' Kyle Harrison: Rejoining big club
The Giants recalled Harrison from Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Harrison will join the major-league roster for the first time in 2025 after posting a 3.46 ERA and 1.31 WHIP with 38 strikeouts over 26 innings in six starts with Sacramento. The right-hander could replace Landen Roupp in the Giants' starting rotation or operate as a bullpen arm with the big club moving forward. In a corresponding move, reliever Lou Trivino was designated for assignment.

Ranger Suarez SP | BOS
Phillies' Ranger Suarez: Shelled in return
Suarez took a no-decision in Sunday's 11-9 extra-inning loss against Arizona, allowing seven runs on seven hits and two walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out six.
After a sharp four-outing rehab stint that saw the Philadelphia southpaw pitch to a 1.08 ERA and 24:5 K:BB across 16.2 innings, Suarez unraveled in this 82-pitch outing. After cruising through two scoreless innings with four Ks, Suarez allowed three runs on three hits in the third inning. The Diamondbacks dropped four more runs on four hits in the next frame, chasing Suarez with two outs in the inning. The 29-year-old will look to bounce back in his next start, currently slated to be at Cleveland next weekend.

Eduardo Rodriguez SP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Eduardo Rodriguez: Punches out 10 in no-decision
Rodriguez did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 11-9 extra-inning win over the Phillies, allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits and four walks with 10 strikeouts over 5.1 innings.
The veteran southpaw notched his second double-digit strikeout performance of the season, producing 15 whiffs. Despite the solid number of Ks, Rodriguez struggled to find the zone, issuing a season-worst four free passes and throwing just 57 strikes out of 101 total pitches. Through 38 innings, the 32-year-old's ERA now stands at 5.92; however, things have been better under the hood with a 4.03 FIP and 45:12 K:BB. Rodriguez is currently scheduled to make his next outing against the Dodgers at home this weekend.

Shota Imanaga RP | CHC
Cubs' Shota Imanaga: MRI on hamstring on tap
Cubs manager Craig Counsell said after Sunday's 4-0 loss to the Brewers that Imanaga will undergo an MRI on his strained left hamstring before a determination is made regarding whether he'll be able to make his next start, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.
Imanaga was cruising along nicely during his eighth start of the season before sustaining his injury while attempting to cover first base in the fifth inning. He exited the game and was ultimately dealt his second loss of the season after getting charged with two earned runs on four hits and one walk over his 5.2 frames. Counsell noted that Imanaga doesn't have a history of lower-body muscle strains from which to compare his injury, so the Cubs will send him in for imaging to glean more information about the severity of the hamstring issue. Imanaga tentatively lines up to make his next start against the Mets next weekend.

Freddy Peralta SP | NYM
Brewers' Freddy Peralta: Nursing groin issue
Manager Pat Murphy said Peralta was removed from his start in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Cubs due to groin soreness, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Peralta didn't appear visibly injured when he was lifted, but the groin issue explains why he was removed after tossing six scoreless innings and 89 pitches. He stayed in the game long enough to get the win and to improve to 4-2 on the season, and he finished with seven strikeouts while scattering four hits and one walk on the afternoon. The right-hander doesn't believe the injury is a serious concern, per McCalvy, so he may be able to stay on schedule and pitch next weekend in Tampa Bay.

Blade Tidwell P | SF
Mets' Blade Tidwell: Demoted after rough MLB debut
Tidwell (0-1) was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse after the Mets' 6-5 loss to the Cardinals in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader. He was dealt the loss after giving up six earned runs on nine hits and three walks across 3.2 innings. He struck out two.
The right-hander was likely to be demoted regardless of his performance in Sunday's matinee, but being optioned back to Syracuse is fitting after an ugly big-league debut. Tidwell has struggled to a 5.00 ERA through six starts with Triple-A Syracuse this season, so he may have a difficult time getting another MLB opportunity in the near future.

Freddy Peralta SP | NYM
Brewers' Freddy Peralta: Fans seven in win
Peralta (4-2) earned the win Sunday against the Cubs, allowing four hits and issuing a walk over six scoreless innings. He struck out seven.
With this 89-pitch performance, Peralta tallied his second consecutive quality start and third total of the season. The Cubs were unable to square up the Milwaukee right-hander, who scattered four singles. Through 45.1 innings, Peralta has pitched to a magnificent 2.18 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 48:15 K:BB. He lines up to make his next start against the Rays on the road next weekend.

Andrew Heaney RP | LAD
Pirates' Andrew Heaney: Rough outing vs. Padres
Heaney (2-3) took the loss Sunday against San Diego, allowing four runs on eight hits and four walks over 3.2 innings. He struck out three.
After pitching to a 1.72 ERA in his first five starts this season, Heaney's now given up eight runs in just 8.1 innings over his last two outings. The left-hander's ERA is consequently up to 3.18 with a 1.11 WHIP and 34:13 K:BB across 39.2 innings this year. Heaney will look to get back on track in his next start, currently scheduled for next week against Atlanta.
