  • Zack Littell SP | CIN

    Reds' Zack Littell: Bounces back in no-decision

    Littell took a no-decision Tuesday against the Padres, allowing two runs on two hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out four.

    Tuesday's showing was a major improvement for Littell, who had matched a season worst with four home runs allowed his last time out. The veteran right-hander leads MLB with 34 homers given up in 2025, although he's served up just two long balls over four road starts since joining the Reds as opposed to six big flies across three home outings for Cincinnati. Littell, who owns a 3.80 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 119:29 K:BB through 170.2 frames this year, is slated to make his next start in St. Louis.

  • Ryan Pepiot RP | TB

    Rays' Ryan Pepiot: Battling fatigue, will miss start

    Pepiot was scratched from his scheduled start Wednesday against the White Sox due to fatigue, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

    Pepiot has gone three consecutive starts (15 innings) without giving up an earned run and has conceded just two hits and six walks while striking out 15 batters in that span. He'll need at least a few days before he takes the mound again, however, and the Rays haven't specified how much extra rest he will require. Tampa Bay will instead lean on its bullpen Wednesday and send out Griffin Jax to record the first few outs.

  • Adam Mazur P | MIA

    Marlins' Adam Mazur: Struggles against Nationals

    Mazur (0-3) yielded six runs (four earned) on eight hits and three walks over 4.1 innings Tuesday, striking out one and taking a loss against Washington.

    Mazur was greeted with a three-run shot by Josh Bell in the first inning. The Marlins then plated a pair of unearned runs in the fourth before Daylen Lile belted a solo homer in the fifth. Mazur had allowed two home runs through three starts at the MLB level this year before Tuesday's poor performance. He's now sporting a 6.30 ERA with a 13:8 K:BB across 20 MLB innings. Mazur is currently projected to face the Tigers at home this weekend, though it's unclear if he'll get another turn in the rotation.

  • Nationals' Mitchell Parker: Earns win with quality start

    Parker (8-15) allowed two runs on four hits and two walks over 7.2 innings Tuesday, striking out two and earning a win over the Marlins.

    Parker gave up one run through seven innings before the Marlins scored a second run in the eighth inning. Prior to that, the only damage against him was Joey Wiemer's solo shot in the second. Parker earned his first win since July 26 after going 0-5 with a dreadful 9.28 ERA over his last seven appearances. Tuesday's outing marked his first time completing at least seven innings since April 22. For the year, he's sporting a 5.69 ERA with a lackluster 100:56 K:BB through 153.1 frames. Parker is currently slated to face the Pirates at home this weekend.

  • Sean Manaea RP | NYM

    Mets' Sean Manaea: Tagged with four runs

    Manaea (1-3) yielded four runs on five hits and a walk over five innings Tuesday, striking out five and taking the loss against Philadelphia.

    Manaea coughed up all four runs in the first two innings before ending his outing with three near-perfect frames. He produced a 2.08 ERA through his first four appearances but has since given up at least four runs in six of his last seven starts. Manaea has registered a 7.71 ERA during that span, ballooning his season ERA to 5.76 with a 64:10 K:BB across 50 innings. He's currently lined up to face the Padres at home next week.

  • Ranger Suarez SP | PHI

    Phillies' Ranger Suarez: Fans 12 in dominant win

    Suarez (12-6) allowed a hit and three walks over six shutout frames Tuesday, striking out 12 and earning a win over the Mets.

    Suarez rolled through the Mets' lineup with ease and let only one runner reach scoring position. He racked up a season-high 12 punchouts and has double-digit strikeouts in three of his last five outings. Suarez did not produce double-digit strikeouts in any of his first 18 starts. Over his last five appearances, he's 4-0 with a 0.88 ERA over 30.2 innings. Suarez has dropped his season ERA to 2.77 with a 140:33 K:BB through 143 innings. He's currently projected for a road matchup with the Dodgers next week.

  • Rockies' Chase Dollander: Awaiting MRI results on knee

    Dollander underwent an MRI on his left knee Tuesday, Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette reports.

    Dollander said after his start Monday that his sore left knee was beginning to affect his command and velocity, per Henry, so the Rockies pulled him after he made it through five innings of one-run ball. The team brought him in for imaging to determine whether the right-hander's injury is the result of a structural issue, and the results of the test will help determine his availability for his next scheduled start -- tentatively scheduled to come Saturday in San Diego.

  • Luis Garcia SP | HOU

    Astros' Luis Garcia: Exits with elbow trouble Tuesday

    Garcia was removed from his start Tuesday against the Blue Jays with right elbow discomfort, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Garcia made it through just 1.2 innings before calling for a trainer to come take a look at him, and he was removed after a very brief discussion with the Astros' staff. More details regarding his injury won't be known until the team takes a closer look at him, though it's worth noting that the right-hander's velocity was down for the duration of his start.

  • Connelly Early SP | BOS

    Red Sox's Connelly Early: Contract selected

    The Red Sox selected Early's contract from Triple-A Worcester ahead of his start Tuesday versus the Athletics.

    After posting a 2.60 ERA and 1.11 WHIP across 100.1 innings between Double-A Portland and Triple-A Worcester, Early will be thrust into the MLB rotation as the replacement for Dustin May (elbow). Early, 23, most recently pitched six innings of one-run ball while punching out 10 batters at Worcester, but he'll be challenged in his MLB debut Tuesday while facing an Athletics lineup that's posted an .823 OPS since the beginning of the month.

  • Dustin May SP | BOS

    Red Sox's Dustin May: Officially placed on IL

    The Red Sox placed May on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with right elbow neuritis.

    The Red Sox haven't officially ruled out May for the remainder of the regular season, though the timing of his injury would likely allow him to make just one more start in September if he returns after a minimum-length stay. Connelly Early was promoted from Triple-A Worcester to fill the void in Boston's rotation and will make his MLB debut Tuesday against the Athletics.
