  • MacKenzie Gore SP | WAS

    Nationals' MacKenzie Gore: Handed 13th loss

    Gore (5-13) allowed three runs on three hits and two walks over five innings Tuesday, striking out three and taking a loss against the Yankees.

    All the damage against Gore came in the third inning when Giancarlo Stanton cleared the bases with a three-run double. Outside of that frame, only one other Yankee reached scoring position against Gore. He took his first loss since Aug. 5, and he's now 1-5 over his last eight appearances. During that span, he's produced a 7.54 ERA over 37 innings, driving his season ERA up to 4.15. Gore has walked multiple batters in three straight starts and now owns a 173:55 K:BB across 147.1 innings. He's in line for a home matchup with the Marlins next week.

  • Blake Snell SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Blake Snell: Back from paternity leave

    The Dodgers reinstated Snell from the paternity list Tuesday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

    After heading out on paternity leave Saturday, Snell will now rejoin the team with plenty of time to spare before he makes his next start Friday against the Diamondbacks. The 32-year-old lefty gave up two earned runs over seven innings and took the loss during his last time out in San Diego, but he still boasts an impressive 1.97 ERA on the year through 32 innings across six starts. Alex Vesia (oblique) was placed on the injured list in a corresponding move.

  • JP Sears SP | SD

    Padres' JP Sears: Demoted to Triple-A

    The Padres optioned Sears to Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.

    Three starts into his tenure as a Padre, Sears owns a 5.52 ERA and 1.50 WHIP with an 8:3 K:BB through 14.2 innings. With Michael King (knee) nearing a return from the injured list, Sears will lose his place in the MLB rotation, and the Friars will bring up Alek Jacob from El Paso to provide some extra depth out of the 'pen.

  • Landen Roupp SP | SF

    Giants' Landen Roupp: Bone bruise confirmed

    A second opinion on Roupp's left knee confirmed a deep bone bruise, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Roupp initially believed he had torn his ACL when he was struck by a comebacker last Wednesday, but his official diagnosis ended up being much less severe. He's expected to miss roughly four weeks, which could mean he's thrown his final pitch of 2025, but it leaves him in a much better position to begin the 2026 campaign at full health.

  • Jonah Tong SP | NYM

    Mets' Jonah Tong: Coming up Friday for MLB debut

    The Mets will call up Tong from Triple-A Syracuse to make his MLB debut with a start Friday against the Marlins at Citi Field, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Manager Carlos Mendoza confirmed that the Mets will move to a six-man rotation to accommodate the arrival of Tong, who was established himself as one of the top pitching prospects in baseball this season. The 22-year-old righty has followed up his breakout 2024 season with an even better showing in 2025, accruing a 1.43 ERA and 0.92 WHIP to go with a minor-league-best 179 strikeouts in 113.2 innings covering 22 starts between Double-A Binghamton and Syracuse. Tong isn't necessarily guaranteed any starts beyond his debut, but he will get the chance to state his case to remain in the Mets rotation moving forward.

  • Chen-Wei Lin SP | STL

    Cardinals' Chen-Wei Lin: Advances to Double-A

    The Cardinals promoted Lin from High-A Peoria to Double-A Springfield on Tuesday.

    Peoria placed Lin on its 7-day injured list with an unspecified injury coming out of the All-Star break, but the 23-year-old was activated Aug. 5 and made three starts prior to receiving a promotion. The right-hander turned in a 4.89 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 46:29 K:BB over 38.2 innings in 12 total starts with Peoria on the season.

  • Johan Oviedo SP | PIT

    Pirates' Johan Oviedo: Does fine in short outing

    Oviedo completed four innings, allowing one run on three hits and one walk while striking out five batters in a no-decision against St. Louis on Monday.

    Oviedo looked like he could be in for a rough outing when he allowed the first three batters in the second inning to reach base, but he got out of that jam with only one run on his ledger, and he ended his outing by retiring the final nine batters he faced. Despite the strong bounce-back effort, Pirates manager Don Kelly gave Oviedo the hook after four frames consisting of only 53 pitches (35 strikes). It was a somewhat surprising move given that Oviedo threw 75 pitches across five innings in his previous start, though the team could just be opting to take it easy with the hurler after he missed all of last season while recovering from Tommy John surgery and several months earlier in this campaign due to a lat injury. Oviedo is tentatively slated to make his next start on the road against the Red Sox.

  • Cardinals' Michael McGreevy: Fans seven in no-decision

    McGreevy allowed four runs on six hits and two walks while striking out seven batters over six innings in a no-decision against Pittsburgh on Monday.

    Most of the damage against McGreevy came in the the third inning, when Pittsburgh belted two homers to plate three runs. The righty recovered well from that rough frame, retiring 10 of the final 11 batters he faced, with the only Pirates baserunner over that stretch being wiped out on a double play. Though McGreevy had a three-outing streak of quality starts snapped Monday, he did manage to once again give St. Louis six innings, which he's done in each of his past five starts. Over that stretch, he's compiled a decent 3.90 ERA with a 21:4 K:BB across 30 frames.

  • Emmet Sheehan SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Emmet Sheehan: Dazzles in win over Reds

    Sheehan (5-2) allowed two hits and one walk while striking out 10 over seven shutout innings to earn the win Monday over the Reds.

    Sheehan had his best start of the season and picked up a win for the third time over four outings in August. The 10 strikeouts were a season high, and this was the first time he's posted a scoreless line this year. He's now at a 3.56 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 54:16 K:BB through 48 innings over 10 appearances (eight starts). Sheehan is lined up for a favorable road start in Pittsburgh next week.

  • Hunter Greene SP | CIN

    Reds' Hunter Greene: Gets no help in loss

    Greene (5-4) allowed five runs (three earned) on six hits and two walks while striking out three over five-plus innings to take the loss versus the Dodgers on Monday.

    Greene served up a pair of home runs to Andy Pages, which accounted for the first three runs. In the sixth, Greene put two runners on base before his exit, and they both came around to score after an error. While far from his best work, Greene can't be blamed for this loss when the Reds' offense was limited to three hits and three walks. He's at a 2.81 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 94:16 K:BB over 77 innings across 14 starts this season. Greene has allowed eight runs (six earned) with a 21:2 K:BB over 17.1 innings since returning from a groin injury. He is projected to make his next start at home versus the Blue Jays.
