  • Will Warren SP | NYY

    Yankees' Will Warren: Allows four runs in loss

    Warren (0-3) took the loss against the Cardinals on Saturday, allowing four runs on five hits and three walks with three strikeouts over four innings.

    Warren yielded four runs in the third inning, including a three-run home run to Brendan Donovan. The rookie generated just five whiffs on 76 pitches and has now surrendered four earned runs or more in four of his five starts with the Yankees. He owns a 9.55 ERA and 1.85 WHIP through 21.2 major-league innings and will likely cede his spot in the rotation upon the return of Luis Gil (back) or Clarke Schmidt (lat).

  • Kyle Gibson SP | BAL

    Cardinals' Kyle Gibson: Goes seven innings in win

    Gibson (8-6) earned the win against the Yankees on Saturday, allowing one run on five hits and no walks with six strikeouts over seven innings.

    Gibson tossed three separate 1-2-3 innings and earned his first win since July 7. While he threw just 55 of 93 pitches for strikes, he didn't issue a walk -- this was only the second outing in which the veteran didn't walk a batter this season. On the year, he owns a 4.39 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 134:56 K:BB across 147.2 innings and lines up for a home matchup with the Mariners next weekend.

  • David Buchanan SP | TEX

    Reds' David Buchanan: Added to big-league roster

    The Reds selected Buchanan's contract from Triple-A Louisville on Saturday.

    The Reds acquired Buchanan from Philadelphia on Tuesday in exchange for cash considerations, and the 35-year-old now has the opportunity to pitch in the majors for the first time since 2015. He posted a 4.91 ERA and 1.49 WHIP across 102.2 innings during his time with the Phillies' Triple-A affiliate and will most likely be used as a multi-inning reliever while with the Reds. Evan Kravetz was DFA'd in a corresponding move.

  • Jairo Iriarte SP | CHW

    White Sox's Jairo Iriarte: Slated for call-up

    The White Sox are expected to recall Iriarte from Double-A Birmingham on Sunday, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

    Iriarte, a 22-year-old right-hander, will come up to fill one one of the two openings on the expanded September roster. He is expected to work mostly out of the bullpen after working primarily as a starter at Double-A. Iriarte has gone 5-7 with a 3.71 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 122:57 K:BB across 126 innings for Birmingham this season.

  • Austin Gomber SP | TEX

    Rockies' Austin Gomber: Quality start in Friday's loss

    Gomber (4-10) took the loss Friday, giving up three runs on eight hits and a walk over six innings as the Rockies fell 5-3 to the Orioles. He struck out four.

    The southpaw delivered his 10th quality start of the season on 90 pitches (59 strikes), but a two-run homer by Emmanuel Rivera in the fourth inning put the visitors in the lead for good. Gomber has given Colorado at least six innings in five of six trips to the mound in August, posting a 4.37 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 24:9 K:BB in 35 innings over that stretch. He'll look for a better result in his next outing, which lines up to come on the road next week in Atlanta.

  • Albert Suarez RP | BAL

    Orioles' Albert Suarez: Sharp in seventh win

    Suarez (7-4) picked up the win Friday, giving up two runs on eight hits over seven innings in a 5-3 victory over the Rockies. He struck out four without walking a batter.

    The 34-year-old right-hander wasn't fazed by a trip to Coors Field, tossing 66 of 95 pitches for strikes en route to his fifth quality start of the season, and third in his last four trips to the mound. Suarez has been impressive since returning to the rotation, posting a 1.97 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 25:6 K:BB through 32 innings in August, and the Orioles could well keep him in that role even after Zach Eflin (shoulder) and Grayson Rodriguez (lat) get healthy. Suarez is scheduled to make his next start at home next week against the woeful White Sox.

  • Pablo Lopez SP | MIN

    Twins' Pablo Lopez: Extends scoreless streak Friday

    Lopez (13-8) picked up the win Friday, allowing six hits over 7.2 scoreless innings in a 2-0 victory over the Blue Jays. He struck out three without walking a batter.

    The right-hander extended his scoreless streak to 20.2 innings with another gem. Lopez has reeled off four straight quality starts, giving him 15 on the season, and since the All-Star break he's delivered a 1.92 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 43:10 K:BB over 51.2 innings. He'll look to give the Twins' playoff hopes another boost in his next outing, which lines up to come on the road next week in Tampa Bay.

  • Yu Darvish SP | SD

    Padres' Yu Darvish: Hurls 66 pitches vs. minor leaguers

    Darvish (personal/elbow) threw 66 pitches over four innings Friday in a controlled game against Cincinnati minor leaguers, Bernie Wilson of the Associated Press reports.

    Darvish continues to ramp up as he looks to return from an absence of over three months, initially due to an elbow injury and then because of a personal matter. The veteran right-hander threw on his own for a period while he was away from the team, and he's since tossed a bullpen and a sim game in addition to Friday's outing against minor leaguers, so he's not as far off as a starting pitcher might typically be after such a long absence. Per Wilson, Darvish felt fine following Friday's controlled game, but Darvish's next steps are yet to be determined.

  • Kevin Gausman SP | CHC

    Blue Jays' Kevin Gausman: Gets no help in Friday's loss

    Gausman (12-10) took the loss Friday as the Blue Jays were downed 2-0 by the Twins, giving up two runs on four hits and four walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out four.

    The veteran righty fought his control at times, tossing only 58 of 103 pitches for strikes, and the inefficiency cost him his 14th quality start of the season. Despite the loss, Gausman turned things around in August, posting a 2.20 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 26:11 K:BB over his last five outings and 32.2 innings. He'll try to extend his hot streak in his next start, which is scheduled to come on the road next weekend in Atlanta.

  • White Sox's Jonathan Cannon: Saddled with fourth straight loss

    Cannon (2-9) took the loss Friday as the White Sox fell 5-1 to the Mets, giving up four runs on five hits and four walks over five innings. He struck out three.

    The big blow was a two-run homer by J.D. Martinez in the third inning, but Cannon wasn't sharp as he got only 48 of his 92 pitches into the strike zone. The 24-year-old has lost four straight starts, and in five outings in August he stumbled to a 6.31 ERA, 1.79 WHIP and 20:14 K:BB over 25.2 innings. Things don't get any easier for Cannon, as he lines up to make his next start on the road next week in Baltimore.
