  • Ryan Gusto P | MIA

    Marlins' Ryan Gusto: Ambushed by Atlanta

    Gusto (7-7) took the loss Wednesday as the Marlins were routed 12-1 by Atlanta, coughing up nine runs on seven hits -- including three home runs -- and five walks over 3.2 innings. He struck out two.

    A leadoff homer by Jurickson Profar set the tone for the afternoon, as Atlanta went yard five times in total off Miami pitchers -- in fact, utility infielder Javier Sanoja was the only player to take the mound for the Marlins and not surrender a home run. Gusto saw his already bloated 6.00 ERA through two starts with his new club swell even further to 9.77, a mark that comes with a 1.66 WHIP and 10:8 K:BB through 15.2 innings. With Adam Mazur set to get a start Thursday, top prospect Robby Snelling knocking very loudly on the door at Triple-A, and Ryan Weathers (lat) about to begin a rehab assignment, Gusto's stint in the big-league rotation could end at any time. For the moment however, he's scheduled to make his next outing on the road early next week against the Nationals.

  • Adam Mazur P | MIA

    Marlins' Adam Mazur: Returning to Miami

    The Marlins will recall Mazur from Triple-A Jacksonville to start Thursday's game against the Mets at Citi Field, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.

    The 24-year-old righty will fill the void in Miami's rotation left by Janson Junk's (elbow) move to the injured list Wednesday. Mazur gave up four earned runs over 5.2 innings during his lone MLB start of the season against Philadelphia on June 18, and he'll be welcomed back to the big leagues by a Mets offense that has turned in a staggering .849 OPS since the start of August.

  • Max Fried SP | NYY

    Yankees' Max Fried: Cruises to 14th win

    Fried (14-5) picked up the win in Wednesday's 11-2 rout of the Nationals, allowing one run on four hits and two walks over seven innings. He struck out six.

    A nine-run third inning by the Yankees put the game well out of reach, and Fried lost his shutout bid on an RBI single by CJ Abrams in the sixth. He racked up 32 called or swinging strikes among his 94 pitches (61 total strikes) en route to his 16th quality start of the season. Fried will take a 3.06 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 154:42 K:BB over 162 innings into his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road early next week in Houston.

  • Cade Cavalli SP | WAS

    Nationals' Cade Cavalli: Hammered by Yanks

    Cavalli (1-1) took the loss Wednesday as the Nationals were routed 11-2 by the Yankees, surrendering eight runs (seven earned) on eight hits -- including four home runs -- and a walk over 2.1 innings. He struck out four.

    The home squad sent 15 men to the plate in a nine-run third inning that saw Cavalli serve up long balls to Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger and Ryan McMahon before he got the hook. Cavalli had been pitching well since joining the big-league rotation for Washington in early August, but Wednesday's disastrous outing sent his ERA soaring from 2.82 to 5.11. The right-hander will look to rebound in his next start, which lines up to come at home early next week against the Marlins.

  • Nathan Eovaldi SP | TEX

    Rangers' Nathan Eovaldi: Officially placed on injured list

    The Rangers placed Eovaldi (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday, retroactive to Sunday.

    Eovaldi is expected to miss the remainder of the 2025 campaign due to a rotator cuff strain, cutting short what had been a phenomenal season with a 1.73 ERA and 0.85 WHIP through 130 innings (22 starts). Caleb Boushley will join the Rangers' bullpen and take Eovaldi's place on the active roster; meanwhile, Jacob Latz will claim the fifth spot in the rotation.

  • Brady Basso SP | ATH

    Athletics' Brady Basso: Headed to majors

    The Athletics recalled Basso from Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday.

    With Joey Estes (back) headed to the injured list, Basso will come up from Triple-A to round out the Athletics' pitching staff. The 27-year-old has worked primarily as a starter throughout his career but has transitioned into a relief role since returning from a shoulder injury that kept him on the shelf until Aug. 11. Now back in the bigs, he'll presumably continue to work in middle relief.

  • Joey Estes SP | ATH

    Athletics' Joey Estes: Lands on 15-day IL

    The Athletics placed Estes on the 15-day injured list Wednesday, retroactive to Monday, with a herniated disc in his lower back.

    Estes performed well Sunday during his return to the majors, firing four shutout innings while allowing one hit and striking out one batter. He'll now be forced to sit out until at least Sept. 9, however, and the A's will call up Brady Basso from Triple-A to fill the opening on the active roster.

  • Angels' Jack Kochanowicz: Officially recalled

    The Angels recalled Kochanowicz from Triple-A Salt Lake ahead of his start Wednesday versus Texas.

    After giving up 25 runs (22 earned) in 21.2 innings over his last five starts in the majors, Kochanowicz's ERA ballooned to 6.19 before being demoted to Salt Lake on Aug. 11. He'll match up against a Rangers offense Wednesday that put up eight runs against him in just 2.2 frames July 10 and has registered an .811 OPS over its last 10 games.

  • Jose Berrios SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Jose Berrios: Won't start this week

    Blue Jays manager John Schneider said that Berrios won't make his next start until Tuesday in Cincinnati, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Berrios will have gone more than a week between starts, as he most recently took the hill in Miami this past Saturday, when he struck out eight batters and allowed two earned runs over 6.1 innings. The veteran right-hander doesn't seem to be dealing with an injury coming out of the start, but he'll be pushed to the back of the pitching schedule as the Blue Jays realign their rotation ahead of an important series this weekend against the NL-leading Brewers and next weekend against the Yankees, who sit four games behind Toronto in the AL East. The Blue Jays are now tentatively slated to have their top three members of the rotation -- Shane Bieber, Kevin Gausman and Max Scherzer -- make one start apiece in both of those series.

  • Quinn Priester SP | MIL

    Brewers' Quinn Priester: Pushed to Saturday with wrist issue

    Brewers manager Pat Murphy said that Priester's next start will be pushed back to Saturday versus the Blue Jays due to a "wrist thing," Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Priester had been scheduled to start Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, but the Brewers have opted to give him some extra rest due to a minor injury. Aaron Ashby is serving as the Brewers' opening pitcher, and the newly signed Erick Fedde will pitch in bulk relief for the Brewers on Wednesday.
