  • Giants' Carson Whisenhunt: Out with back strain

    The Giants placed Whisenhunt on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a back strain, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    The left-hander presumably suffered the injury during his start Wednesday against the Cubs, during which he picked up the win after allowing three runs across five innings. Whisenhunt will be eligible to be reinstated in mid-September, though it's unclear if he's expected to be healthy by that point. Kai-Wei Teng was called up from Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move and will take Whisenhunt's place in the rotation Monday at Colorado.

  • Andre Pallante RP | STL

    Cardinals' Andre Pallante: Takes sixth straight loss

    Pallante (6-13) took the loss Sunday against the Reds, allowing five runs (two earned) on six hits and four walks over five innings. He struck out six.

    It's the sixth straight defeat for Pallante, who's struggled to a 1-9 record with a 7.79 ERA in his last 10 starts. Overall, the right-hander sports a 5.38 ERA with a 1.44 WHIP and 101:52 K:BB across 27 starts (144 innings) this year. Pallante will look to turn things around in his next outing, tentatively scheduled for next week at home against the Giants.

  • Brady Singer SP | CIN

    Reds' Brady Singer: Notches 12th win

    Singer (12-9) earned the win Sunday over the Cardinals, allowing three runs on five hits and no walks across six innings. He struck out eight.

    Singer gave up a pair of runs in the first inning before settling down and holding the Cards to one run over his final five frames. It's the fourth straight quality start for Singer, who's gone 5-1 with a 2.20 ERA with 47 strikeouts over his last seven outings (41 innings). The 29-year-old Singer holds a 4.08 ERA on the season with a 1.26 WHIP and 140:52 K:BB across 27 starts (143.1 innings). He's currently slated for a home matchup with the Mets his next time out.

  • Aaron Civale RP | CHC

    Cubs' Aaron Civale: Moves across town

    The Cubs claimed Civale off waivers from the White Sox on Sunday.

    The veteran right-hander will move on to his third stop of the season, after the White Sox previously acquired him from the Brewers in the June 13 deal that sent Andrew Vaughn to Milwaukee. He had been making regular turns out of the White Sox rotation since the trade, submitting; a 5.37 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 55:26 K:BB in 67 innings over his 13 starts with the club. Since the 30-year-old is on an expiring contract and wasn't part of the rebuilding White Sox's plans, he was exposed to waivers and scooped by the Cubs. Civale's exact role with his new organization isn't yet clear, as the Cubs have been getting decent results from Colin Rea and Javier Assad at the back end of the rotation of late and may not view Civale as an upgrade over either pitcher. If that's the case, Civale could initially be ticketed for a long-relief role with the Cubs.

  • Tyler Anderson SP | LAA

    Angels' Tyler Anderson: Shelved with oblique strain

    The Angels placed Anderson on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a left oblique strain.

    The veteran left-hander delivered five scoreless frames Friday in Houston, but that could end up being his final start of the campaign. Anderson will be eligible to be reinstated Sept. 14, but oblique injuries often require longer than 15 days of recovery time. If the 35-year-old is unable to return to the mound in 2025, he'll finish the campaign with a 4.56 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 104:57 K:BB across 136.1 innings.

  • Jose Urena SP | LAA

    Angels' Jose Urena: Inks deal with Halos

    Urena agreed to a major-league contract with the Angels on Sunday.

    The right-hander elected free agency after being designated for assignment by the Twins last week, but he was able to find another home in the majors. Urena had made 13 appearances (five starts) with four different MLB clubs this season and has a 5.00 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 20:13 K:BB over 36 innings. After placing Tyler Anderson (oblique) on the injured list Sunday and optioning Jack Kochanowicz to Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday, the Angels have two open spots in the rotation, and Urena is a good bet to fill one of those slots during the team's upcoming series in Kansas City.

  • Ryan Gusto P | MIA

    Marlins' Ryan Gusto: Lands on injured list

    The Marlins placed Gusto on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a right shoulder impingement.

    The right-hander was tagged for nine runs during most recent start versus Atlanta on Wednesday and will now be sidelined for at least the next couple weeks. Gusto won't have much time to get healthy before the end of the season, and he won't be guaranteed a rotation spot even if he does return to the mound for the Marlins in 2025.

  • Luis Severino SP | ATH

    Athletics' Luis Severino: Expected to return for road trip

    Severino (oblique) is expected to return from the 15-day injured list during the Athletics' road trip that begins Monday in St. Louis, MLB.com reports.

    Severino has been on the shelf since Aug. 9 due to a left oblique strain, but his return appears close, and he seemingly won't require a rehab assignment prior to being activated. The right-hander was in strong form before landing on the shelf, posting a 2.93 ERA and 1.16 WHIP across 27.2 innings in his five most recent starts.

  • John Means SP | CLE

    Guardians' John Means: Rehab start coming Sunday

    Means (elbow) is scheduled to make his next rehab start for Triple-A Columbus on Sunday, MLB.com reports.

    Means will be making his fourth rehab start and second for Columbus. He was knocked around in his previous outing at Triple-A on Tuesday, allowing four runs on three hits (all home runs) in three innings. Means had much better results in his first two rehab starts, which came with High-A Lake County.

  • Kyle Hart SP | SD

    Padres' Kyle Hart: Summoned from Triple-A

    The Padres recalled Hart from Triple-A El Paso on Sunday.

    Right-hander David Morgan is scheduled to serve as the opening pitcher for Sunday's game in Minnesota, but Hart could be tasked with covering multiple innings behind him. Hart previously made six starts for the Padres and nine for El Paso this season, but he's worked largely in relief since the All-Star break. The southpaw hasn't covered more than three innings in any appearance in August, so the Padres could end up treating this as more of a bullpen game rather than leaning on Hart as a bulk reliever.
