  • Wade Miley SP | CIN

    Reds' Wade Miley: Uncertain after doctor visit

    Miley (forearm) visited Dr. Timothy Kremchek on Monday and is still trying to determine his next move, MLB.com reports.

    Miley was pulled from a rehab assignment after experiencing soreness during a start last Friday. That the left-hander is pondering his next move suggests the doctor offered multiple go-forward scenarios and that the soreness may not be normal. Reds manager Terry Francona said the team will "support whatever he does." This implies that Miley will not be a fantasy factor over the final weeks of the regular season.

  • Eury Perez SP | MIA

    Marlins' Eury Perez: No-decision Monday

    Perez did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing three runs (one earned) on two hits and four walks over 4.1 innings against St. Louis. He struck out six.

    Perez worked through four scoreless innings before stumbling in the fifth inning, where shaky defense and spotty command kept him from finishing the frame. Overall, the hard-throwing righty has been solid in his return from Tommy John surgery, logging 64.2 innings across 13 starts with a 3.48 ERA and 1.01 WHIP in 2025.

  • Cardinals' Matthew Liberatore: Chased out in sixth inning

    Liberatore did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing three runs on five hits and a walk over five-plus innings against the Marlins. He struck out five.

    Liberatore worked into the sixth inning Monday but was knocked out before recording an out in the frame, leaving him with a no-decision. While he fell short of a full six innings, it was the first time the southpaw had completed five frames since July 5. The 25-year-old has struggled to maintain form as the season has worn on, pitching to a 5.31 ERA and 1.54 WHIP with a 5.8 K/9 and 3.1 BB/9 across his last 12 starts (57.2 innings).

  • Brady Singer SP | CIN

    Reds' Brady Singer: Steady in 11th win

    Singer (11-9) allowed one run on six hits and a walk while striking out four over six innings to earn the win over the Angels on Monday.

    Singer has logged three quality starts over four outings in August, allowing a total of five runs across 21.2 innings this month. A Taylor Ward RBI double in the first inning accounted for the lone run on Singer's line in this start. For the season, Singer is at a 4.18 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 123:49 K:BB through 131.1 innings across 25 starts. His next outing is projected to be a road start versus the Dodgers next week, assuming Nick Lodolo (finger) is able to return this week and the Reds move to a six-man rotation to accommodate that. Singer would be on regular rest if he gets moved up to pitch in this weekend's series in Arizona.

  • Padres' Nestor Cortes: Done in by early homers

    Cortes (1-2) allowed four runs on seven hits and four walks while striking out five over 5.2 innings to take the loss versus the Giants on Monday.

    Cortes gave up all four runs on three home runs in the first inning. He had allowed just one homer over his first two starts as a Padre, but his home debut for the team started poorly, and the damage was too much for his teammates to overcome. On the year, Cortes is now at a 5.87 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 22:15 K:BB through 23 innings across five starts between San Diego and Milwaukee. He is projected for a tough home start versus the Dodgers this weekend.

  • Robbie Ray SP | SF

    Giants' Robbie Ray: Secures 10th win

    Ray (10-6) allowed three unearned runs on three hits and a walk while striking out six over 6.2 innings to earn the win over the Padres on Monday.

    Ray was nearly untouchable until the Padres found some success in the seventh inning. However, the Giants' four-run first inning was enough to help the southpaw secure his first win since July 3 versus the Diamondbacks. Ray has recorded quality starts in four of his last eight outings, adding a 41:18 K:BB over 47.1 innings in that span. For the season, he's at a 2.85 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 158:57 K:BB through 154.2 innings across 26 starts. Ray is projected to make his next start on the road versus the Brewers.

  • Zac Gallen SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Zac Gallen: Yields two homers in loss

    Gallen (9-13) allowed three runs on five hits and struck out three without walking a batter over six innings to take the loss versus the Guardians on Monday.

    Gallen has recorded a quality start in three of his four outings in August, though his effort Monday wasn't enough to get a win. He allowed a solo home run to C.J. Kayfus in the second inning and gave up a two-run blast to Brayan Rocchio in the fifth, making this the first time in five starts Gallen has given up multiple homers. The veteran right-hander is now at a 5.28 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 134:52 K:BB through 150 innings over 26 starts this season. Gallen is projected to make his next start at home versus the Reds.

  • Dodgers' Yoshinobu Yamamoto: Solid over seven innings

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

    Yamamoto bounced back from a rocky start his previous time on the mound, when he gave up six runs over 4.2 innings against the Angels. The All-Star hurler couldn't hold an early 2-0 lead Monday, but he gave up just one extra-base hit (an Ezequiel Tovar solo homer) and recorded 12 whiffs along with six punchouts. Yamamoto has fallen behind in the NL Cy Young Award race, but he still ranks among the senior circuit's top pitchers in several categories, including ERA (2.90, ninth), WHIP (1.08, eighth) and strikeouts (151, 11th).

  • Freddy Peralta SP | MIL

    Brewers' Freddy Peralta: Hurls six one-hit, scoreless frames

    Peralta (15-5) earned the win over the Cubs on Monday, allowing one hit and issuing three walks while striking out six batters over six scoreless innings.

    Peralta was dominant in what was slated to be the first game of a doubleheader (Game 2 ended up being postponed), cruising through six scoreless frames on 95 pitches. The only hit he allowed was a first-inning single by Seiya Suzuki, and all three free passes he issued came to consecutive batters in the fourth. Peralta recovered from that wild stretch to retire the final eight batters he faced, finishing with his second straight scoreless quality start. The right-hander is in the midst of a career-best campaign -- he leads MLB with a career-high 15 victories and ranks 15th with 154 punchouts over 142.2 frames. Peralta's 2.78 ERA is on pace for a career-best mark.

  • Braves' Spencer Strider: Shelled again in 11th loss

    Strider (5-11) took the loss Monday against the White Sox, allowing seven runs on 10 hits and one walk in three innings. He struck out two.

    Strider has been out of sorts since he was scratched from his scheduled Aug. 2 appearance against the Reds due to rain. The right-hander has given up at least eight hits and five runs in all of his last three starts, and he's failed to throw at least five innings in each of those outings. Strider now has a ghastly 6.92 ERA, 1.79 WHIP and 45:16 K:BB over his last 40.1 frames since the beginning of July, and he's shaping up as a risky fantasy option against a formidable Mets lineup this weekend.
