  • Mike Soroka SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Michael Soroka: Cleared to rejoin rotation Monday

    The Diamondbacks confirmed that Soroka (glute) will be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Monday's vrersus the Rockies at Chase Field, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    Soroka has been on the shelf since June 20 while recovering from a strained left glute, but he needed just one rehab start to prove his health. The 29-year-old worked four innings and tossed 57 pitches in an outing Tuesday with Triple-A Reno, giving up one earned run on three hits and two walks while striking out a batter. The Diamondbacks will likely keep Soroka's workload in check Monday in his first MLB start in over seven weeks, but he'll be a welcome addition to the rotation nonetheless. Prior to getting hurt, Soroka was experiencing a resurgence in 2026, posting a 3.07 ERA and 1.09 WHIP with 79 strikeouts over 82 innings with Arizona.

  • Jesus Luzardo SP | PHI

    Phillies' Jesus Luzardo: Logs 12 strikeouts Sunday

    Luzardo didn't factor into the decision in Sunday's extra-innings win over Toronto, allowing two runs on four hits and a walk across seven innings. He struck out 12.

    It was another dominant outing from Luzardo, who's now held opponents to two runs or fewer in 10 of his last 11 starts. He's gone 6-1 with a 2.04 ERA and 96 strikeouts across 70.2 innings in that span. The left-hander has lowered his ERA to 3.32 through 24 starts (143.2 innings) this season with a 1.14 WHIP and 176 strikeouts, the fifth most in the majors. Luzardo is currently lined up to face the Twins on the road his next time out.

  • Jared Jones SP | PIT

    Pirates' Jared Jones: Rough day vs. New York

    Jones (2-4) took the loss Sunday against the Mets, allowing eight runs on six hits and three walks over three innings. He struck out three.

    It was a rough outing for the 25-year-old Jones, who's now lost three straight starts while giving up 11 runs in just seven innings across his last two outings. Jones' ERA is up to 5.03 through 13 starts (59 innings) this season with a 1.20 WHIP and 65:19 K:BB. He'll look to turn things around his next time out, currently lined up for next week at home against the Red Sox.

  • Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Reaches 200 Ks in quality start

    Misiorowski took a no-decision against the Twins on Sunday, allowing three runs on four hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out nine.

    The All-Star right-hander boasted his usual electrifying stuff, generating 22 whiffs in a quality start. Misiorowski also recorded his 200th strikeout of the season in only 129.1 innings to become the second-fastest pitcher in MLB history to reach 200 punchouts behind only Spencer Strider, who needed only 123.1 frames to attain that figure in 2023 for Atlanta, per Casey Drottar of MLB.com. Misiorowski is set to bring a 1.76 ERA, 0.74 WHIP and 204:30 K:BB over 133 innings into a tough road assignment against the Dodgers.

  • Brady Singer SP | CIN

    Reds' Brady Singer: Falls to Nats

    Singer (5-11) took the loss Sunday against the Nationals, allowing three runs on eight hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out three.

    While Singer came away with a loss Sunday, the right-hander did log his fifth quality start in his last six outings. He's posted a 3.86 ERA across 37.1 innings in that span. Overall, Singer sports a 4.66 ERA with a 1.43 WHIP and 100:40 K:BB across 23 starts (119.2 innings) this season. He's currently in line to face the Marlins at home his next time out.

  • Zack Littell RP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Zack Littell: Lands in Arizona

    Littell agreed to a one-year contract with the Diamondbacks on Sunday, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

    The veteran right-hander was let go by the Nationals on Friday after posting a 4.97 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 70:35 K:BB across 112.1 innings on the season. Arizona's rotation depth has been thinned out in recent weeks, but with Michael Soroka (glute) poised to come off the injured list Monday, the Diamondbacks may not have a spot available for Littell. With that in mind, Littell could have to settle for a long-relief role to begin his time in Arizona.

  • Kyle Harrison SP | MIL

    Brewers' Kyle Harrison: Good to go Tuesday

    Harrison (calves) is listed as the Brewers' probable starting pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Padres, Hunter Baumgardt of Fox Sports 920 Milwaukee reports.

    The left-hander departed his previous start Wednesday versus Pittsburgh after striking out 10 across five scoreless frames due to bilateral calf cramps, but he's ready to take his next turn through the rotation. That start was Harrison's first following a month-long absence due to forearm issues, so the club may be cautious with his workload for his next couple of outings.

  • Alan Rangel RP | PHI

    Phillies' Alan Rangel: Summoned to big leagues

    The Phillies recalled Rangel from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday.

    Rangel will provide the Phillies with some extra bullpen coverage in Sunday's series finale versus the Blue Jays, but if he isn't needed for that contest, he could be an option to make a spot start. Andrew Painter (hamstring) and Aaron Nola (knee) each exited their most recent starts early, though both are tentatively in line to take their next turns through the rotation.

  • Reds' Brandon Williamson: Rehabbing at Triple-A Louisville

    Williamson (shoulder) will make his next rehab start at Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

    Williamson, who began a rehab assignment last week with a two-inning outing for Double-A Chattanooga, will be making his third rehab start and second for Louisville. He'll be targeting around 60 pitches in Tuesday's outing, after he allowed four runs on two hits and two walks while recording two outs his last time out for Louisville.

  • Colin Rea SP | CHC

    Cubs' Colin Rea: Tosses four innings of relief

    Rea allowed two runs on four hits and two walks across four innings of relief in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Royals.

    This was Rea's first relief appearance since getting skipped in the rotation following Chicago's acquisition of Kevin Gausman and Clay Holmes before the trade deadline. Holmes made his team debut Saturday and was shaky in his four innings of work, allowing fours runs on six hits and two walks. It was also his first appearance in nearly two months due to a fractured fibula, so he likely just needs to shake off a little rust. That should leave Rea in a bullpen role for now, though he is capable of starting if a need arises.
