  • Will Warren P | NYY

    Yankees' Will Warren: Quality start wasted Tuesday

    Warren came away with a no-decision in Tuesday's 12-2 loss to the Tigers, allowing two runs on two hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out five.

    The right-hander made only one real mistake over 91 pitches (59 strikes), which resulted in a two-run homer by Parker Meadows in the fifth inning, and Warren left the mound with the score tied 2-2 before the Yankees' bullpen melted down in the seventh. It was his first quality start since Aug. 11 and his sixth of the season, and Warren continues to supply New York with reliable outings, posting a 2.97 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 30:10 K:BB over 36.1 innings since the beginning of August. He lines up to make his next start in a crucial AL East road matchup this weekend against the Red Sox.

  • Chris Paddack SP | DET

    Tigers' Chris Paddack: Looks sharp, earns first MLB save

    Paddack tossed three perfect innings of relief in Tuesday's 12-2 win over the Yankees to earn a save. He struck out four.

    After spending a few days on the bereavement list due to a death in the family, Paddack made his first appearance since Sept. 2 and looked sharp working the final three innings of the game to record his first career MLB save, albeit with a big cushion after the Tigers scored nine times in the seventh. It was the veteran righty's second relief outing this year across 29 games overall, and he's expected to stick in the Detroit bullpen moving forward. Paddack has an underwhelming 5.26 ERA and 6.3 K/9 on the season that limit his fantasy appeal, particularly now that he's not in the rotation, though his stuff could play up a bit in long relief.

  • Kyle Bradish SP | BAL

    Orioles' Kyle Bradish: Fires seven frames versus Pirates

    Bradish allowed one run on four hits and two walks while striking out six over seven innings Tuesday against the Pirates. He did not factor into the decision.

    The Pirates plated a run in the first versus Bradish and he shut them down from there, allowing just three baserunners the rest of the way. Tuesday was his longest outing in three starts since returning from Tommy John surgery, though a potential win was spoiled after Tommy Pham tied the game up in the ninth with a homer. Nonetheless, Bradish has been magnificent in a short sample size. He owns a 2.65 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 21:4 K:BB in 17 innings and lines up for a favorable start on the road against the White Sox next week.

  • Pirates' Mike Burrows: Effective versus O's

    Burrows allowed one run on two hits and a walk while striking out six over four innings Tuesday versus the Orioles. He did not factor into the decision.

    Burrows had his stuff working in his return to the rotation, racking up 14 whiffs on 56 pitches, while his six strikeouts tied his most in an outing under five innings. He's now posted a 3.22 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 46:13 K:BB in 44.2 innings over the second half of the season and is lined up to take the mound again this weekend versus the Nationals.

  • White Sox's Yoendrys Gomez: Allows two homers

    Gomez allowed four runs on five hits and a walk while striking out five in five innings Tuesday against the Rays. He did not factor into the decision.

    Three of the four runs against Gomez came via the long ball -- a two-run homer by Josh Lowe in the second and a solo shot by Richie Palacios in the fourth. It marks Gomez's first time in 18 appearances this season allowing multiple home runs. Gomez's strikeout numbers remain solid, as he has a 10.6 K/9 in his last four outings and he's issued only two walks in his last two starts after having some command and control issues to end August. Gomez lines up to complete a two-start week against the Guardians this weekend.

  • Casey Mize SP | DET

    Tigers' Casey Mize: Plenty of run support in 14th win

    Mize (14-5) allowed two runs on four hits across six innings of work to earn the win in Tuesday's 12-2 victory over the Yankees. He struck out eight.

    Mize allowed a solo home run to Aaron Judge in the first inning and then allowed another solo shot to Cody Bellinger in the fourth, but that was all New York could muster against the righty, who cruised to the win with plenty of run support. After giving up five runs across just 3.1 innings in an Aug. 27 start, Mize has responded by allowing only three total runs in 11 innings over his last two appearances, earning the win both times. The righty will take a 3.83 ERA and 1.27 WHIP into his next outing, which is scheduled for Sunday against the Marlins on the road.

  • Rays' Adrian Houser: Fans nine in no-decision

    Houser didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the White Sox, allowing three runs on four hits and no walks across 5.1 innings. He struck out nine.

    Houser has now set a season high in strikeouts in back-to-back appearances, after previously not fanning more than six hitters in a start. The 32-year-old hasn't taken a loss in five outings, posting a 3.90 ERA and 29:6 K:BB across his last 27.2 innings. Houser is on track to face the Cubs on Sunday for his next start.

  • Cade Horton P | CHC

    Cubs' Cade Horton: Continues NL RoY push

    Horton (10-4) allowed one run on four hits across 6.1 innings to earn the win Tuesday against Atlanta. He struck out two.

    Other than the low strikeout total, it was another dazzling effort for Horton. The rookie hasn't allowed more than two earned runs in any of his last 10 starts, and he has a sparkling 0.84 ERA and 0.79 WHIP during that span. Horton leads all National League rookies with his 10 wins, and he's making a strong case for NL Rookie of the Year honors with a 2.70 ERA and 1.11 WHIP across 110 innings overall. The 23-year-old righty will look to keep rolling in his next outing, which is penciled in for Monday on the road against the Pirates, the team with the fewest runs scored in the majors.

  • German Marquez SP | COL

    Rockies' German Marquez: Poor showing in 13th loss

    Marquez (3-13) allowed five runs on six hits and a walk while striking out two over five innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Dodgers.

    Marquez allowed scoring plays in each of the second through fifth innings. He allowed the opening run on a wild pitch and allowed two home runs for the third time in his last eight appearances. Marquez hasn't looked comfortable since returning from right biceps tendinitis, allowing 17 runs over 14.1 innings across three starts since his activation. He's at a 6.31 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 77:42 K:BB across 112.2 innings through 23 starts this season. The right-hander is tentatively projected to make a road start versus the Padres this weekend.

  • Emmet Sheehan SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Emmet Sheehan: Excellent in sixth win

    Sheehan (6-3) allowed one run on three hits and a walk while striking out nine over seven innings to earn the win over the Rockies on Tuesday.

    Sheehan retired the first 15 batters he faced before allowing back-to-back singles to open the sixth inning. The Rockies were able to score a run with a Tyler Freeman RBI single, but that was it for the damage on Sheehan's line. The 25-year-old was considered to be skipped for a start last week but has maintained his place in a six-man rotation for now, and it's tough to see him getting bumped after an outing this strong. He's now at a 3.32 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 69:19 K:BB through 59.2 innings over 12 appearances (10 starts). Sheehan is tentatively scheduled for a tough home start versus the Phillies next week.
