Nelson (7-3) notched the win Wednesday against the Brewers, allowing one run on six hits and no walks in six innings. He struck out three.

Wednesday marked Nelson's third straight start of at least six innings and his eighth consecutive of at least five frames. While the three strikeouts were his fewest over that eight-start span, the right-hander has surrendered two runs or fewer five times during that period. Nelson sports a 3.53 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 108:32 K:BB across 125 innings in 2025 ahead of his next scheduled outing, which lines up for next week at home versus the Rangers.

Fedde (4-13) was saddled with the loss Wednesday against the Diamondbacks, allowing two runs on eight hits and no walks in 4.1 innings. He struck out two.

Piggybacking off opener Aaron Ashby, Fedde functioned as a long reliever in his Brewers debut and poured in 52 of his 71 pitches for strikes. Quinn Priester was originally tabbed to start earlier in the day before being pushed back, so it's unclear how Milwaukee will choose to deploy Fedde going forward. Fedde will likely be unavailable out of the bullpen for at least a few days following Wednesday's showing, and his unsightly 5.71 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 78:60 K:BB across 129.1 innings leave him without much fantasy appeal.

Rea (10-6) took the loss against San Francisco on Wednesday, allowing seven runs (six earned) on eight hits and two walks while striking out two batters over 4.2 innings.

Rea fell behind quickly, as Rafael Devers knocked his seventh pitch of the game over the outfield wall for a solo homer. Rea managed to get through a scoreless second frame, but things unraveled for him in the third, when the Giants got to him for three runs despite managing just two hits. The right-hander gave up three more runs (two of which were earned) in the fifth and was pulled before he could finish the frame. The poor outing snapped a string of four straight starts in which Rea had surrendered two or fewer earned runs. He's been middling overall this year with a 4.23 ERA through 132 innings, but he's been prone to blow-ups, giving up five or more earned runs on five different occasions.

Whisenhunt (2-1) earned the victory over the Cubs on Wednesday, allowing three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out three batters over five innings.

All three runs Whisenhunt allowed came on a second-inning homer off the bat of Nico Hoerner. Following that long ball, Whisenhunt settled in to retire nine of the final 12 batters he faced. The southpaw completed five frames for the first time over his past three starts, though he has yet to complete six innings in any outing this season. That partly has to do with a lack of control -- Whisenhunt has issued multiple free passes in all five of his MLB appearances on the campaign and has a poor 16:12 K:BB through 23.1 frames. Nonetheless, he has a 2-1 record and seems set to remain in San Francisco's rotation, with his next start scheduled to take place in Colorado next week.

Lodolo (8-7) took the loss against the Dodgers on Wednesday, allowing four runs on five hits and one walk while striking out six batters over 4.2 innings.

Lodolo made his first start since Aug. 4, as he spent over three weeks on the injured list due to a finger blister on his pitching hand. The southpaw began his outing in fine form, retiring the first nine batters he faced, but hit a roadblock in the fourth frame, when Los Angeles tallied four runs on five hits against him. Lodolo did manage to rack up 14 whiffs and six punchouts, so this wasn't an entirely disheartening outing. He still carries a strong 3.22 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 130:25 K:BB over 134.1 innings on the season, and his next start is slated to come against the Blue Jays next week.

Gray (12-7) took the loss Wednesday against Pittsburgh, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits and three walks across seven innings. He struck out seven.

Gray was incredibly efficient, needing just 87 pitches to complete seven innings -- a feat he has accomplished three times in five starts this month. The 35-year-old snapped a streak of seven consecutive starts in which he surrendered a home run. During August, Gray has a 3.48 ERA and a 35:8 K:BB across 31 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Athletics early next week.

Dollander (2-11) took the loss Wednesday against Houston, allowing one run on three hits and four walks with seven strikeouts over six innings.

Dollander rebounded from a pair of ugly starts during which he surrendered 12 runs (11 earned) across 8.1 innings by delivering his first quality start in seven appearances. The 23-year-old couldn't pick up his first win since April 30, as the Rockies failed to scrape a single run across during the 4-0 loss. While Dollander has a substandard 6.55 ERA in 88 innings this season, he's fared much better away from Coors Field, boasting a 3.64 ERA in 47 innings spanning nine starts. However, his next start is tentatively scheduled to come at home against San Francisco.

McLean (3-0) notched the win Wednesday against the Phillies, allowing four hits and no walks in eight scoreless innings. He struck out six.

McLean continued his impressive start to his major-league career, having now spun at least 5.1 innings while allowing two runs or fewer in each of his first three outings. The rookie right-hander retired 15 in a row at one point Wednesday, and he also registered a strong 13 whiffs while keeping a formidable Phillies lineup at bay. McLean has a sublime 0.89 ERA, 0.69 WHIP and 21:4 K:BB over his first 20.1 big-league frames, and he'll be trying to record his fourth straight win in a difficult spot against the first-place Tigers his next time out.

Walker (4-7) took the loss Wednesday against the Mets, allowing four runs on 10 hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out three.

Walker was knocked around for a season-high 10 hits, and the four runs allowed tied his season worst. The veteran swingman has thrown at least five innings in seven consecutive outings, and he'll likely remain a decent matchup-dependent streaming option for the rest of the year. Walker has a serviceable 3.55 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 73:32 K:BB over 101.2 frames in 2025, but he'll still be tough to trust in Milwaukee against the first-place Brewers for his next scheduled start.

Darvish (3-4) took the loss Wednesday against the Mariners, allowing four runs on four hits and a walk over four innings. He struck out three.

Darvish was decent early, holding Seattle to a run on two hits through his first two innings. However, he'd stumble in the fourth, giving up a three-run homer to Eugenio Suarez that proved to be the difference in a 4-3 defeat. Darvish had gone five starts without a loss prior to Wednesday, posting a 3.00 ERA with an impressive 0.67 WHIP in that span (27 innings). Overall, his ERA sits at 5.66 with a 1.11 WHIP and 42:15 K:BB through 10 starts (47.2 innings) this season. Darvish is currently slated to face the Orioles at home in his next outing.
