  • Rays' Shane McClanahan: Worst start of 2022

    McClanahan (10-4) allowed five runs on seven hits, three walks and a hit batsman while striking out four in 4.1 innings, taking the loss Sunday versus the Guardians.

    McClanahan's five runs allowed were a season high, and he matched his season low for innings pitched. The Guardians built rallies against the southpaw in the second and fifth innings, with a two-run Austin Hedges single in the fifth off reliever Ryan Thompson adding the final damage to McClanahan's line. The good news is this has been a rarity for the 25-year-old -- he's given up three or more runs only four times in 20 starts, and he'd rattled off 13 quality starts in a row entering Sunday. He owns a 2.07 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 158:23 K:BB in 122 innings, just 1.1 frames shy of his rookie-season mark. He's on track for a favorable road start in Detroit next weekend.

  • Luis Castillo SP | CHW

    Mariners' Luis Castillo: Making team debut Wednesday

    Castillo will start Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

    Castillo was dealt from the Reds to the Mariners on Friday in a blockbuster deal, and he'll face a tough matchup at Yankee Stadium during his first start with his new team. The right-hander recorded a quality start in each of his final five appearances with the Reds, posting a 1.59 ERA and 0.97 WHIP in 34 innings during that time.

  • Wade Miley SP | CIN

    Cubs' Wade Miley: Another rehab outing on tap

    Miley (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Sunday and is scheduled for a rehab start with Triple-A Iowa this week, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

    Miley made his first rehab outing Friday with High-A South Bend and allowed five runs (four earned) across 2.1 innings. The veteran left-hander is set to make another start in the minors this week, which will come Wednesday if he remains on a typical five-day pitching schedule. Miley may require an additional rehab outing or two after this week since he's been sidelined over seven weeks with the shoulder injury.

  • Alek Manoah RP | LAA

    Blue Jays' Alek Manoah: Looks on track for next start

    Blue Jays interim manager John Schneider said Sunday that Manoah (elbow) is line to make his next turn through the rotation, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports.

    Manoah was fortunate to avoid anything more than a bruise after he was struck in his pitching elbow by a comebacker in his last outing Friday against the Tigers. He played catch Sunday and could be cleared to throw a side session Monday or Tuesday. If all goes well during the mound session, Manoah would be available to start as soon as Thursday's series opener in Minnesota. Due to an off day Monday, the Blue Jays would have the luxury of pushing Manoah's next start until Saturday if he needs a couple extra days to heal up.

  • Luis Severino SP | ATH

    Yankees' Luis Severino: Ready for throwing program

    Severino (lat) will begin a throwing program Monday, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.

    According to Marakovits, Severino said the pain and soreness in his strained right lat began to subside about four or five days after he was placed on the injured list July 14, but the Yankees still kept him shut down from activity for an additional two weeks. The right-hander will be eased into his throwing program by playing catch off flat ground from 60 feet Monday, and he should gradually increase his throwing distance by the end of the week. The Yankees likely won't have a precise timeline for Severino's return from the IL until he faces hitters again, but fantasy managers probably shouldn't bank on him being activated before mid-August.

  • Angels' Michael Lorenzen: Resumes throwing

    Lorenzen (shoulder) recently restarted a throwing program, and he could begin a rehab assignment soon, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Lorenzen was placed on the 15-day IL in early July, and he was able to start a throwing program about a week later. However, the right-hander subsequently had a setback that resulted in him being scratched from a rehab start. He's now back to throwing, but he'll need to progress to a rehab stint before he's able to rejoin the big club. Mid-August appears to be the earliest timeframe for his return.

  • Jose Berrios SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Jose Berrios: Stellar in win

    Berrios (8-4) earned the victory Sunday over Detroit, striking out six in seven innings while allowing a run on three hits and a walk.

    Berrios was highly efficient Sunday, needing just 80 pitches to complete the seven frames. The lone mark against him came on a Javier Baez solo homer to lead off the fourth inning. Following that blast, he retired 12 of the last 13 batters he faced. Berrios has been up-and-down all season but put together a solid July, going 3-0 and posting a 3.00 ERA and 42:7 K:BB across 36 innings in six starts. His next start will likely be next weekend in Minnesota.

  • Matt Manning SP | PHI

    Tigers' Matt Manning: Rejoining big club Tuesday

    Tigers manager A.J. Hinch confirmed that Manning (shoulder/biceps) is on track to return from the 60-day injured list to start Tuesday's game against the Twins in Minnesota, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    The young right-hander will rejoin the Detroit rotation for the first time since mid-April after a prolonged recovery from shoulder inflammation and biceps tendinitis. He built up to 85 pitches while covering 5.2 scoreless innings in his final rehab start for Triple-A Toledo on July 27, so Manning isn't expected to have any major restrictions from a workload standpoint in his return to the big club.

  • Brewers' Freddy Peralta: Return from IL imminent

    Manager Craig Counsell said Peralta (lat) will return from his rehab assignment and join the Brewers during the upcoming series in Pittsburgh, which begins Tuesday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    The 26-year-old made his second minor-league rehab start with Triple-A Nashville on Friday and threw 52 pitches across 3.1 innings, and the team has apparently seen enough to bring him back to the major-league club. Peralta isn't fully stretched out and may not immediately reclaim his spot in the starting rotation, and if that's the case he'll likely work in tandem with another pitcher for his first outing or two as he continues to build up his workload. He had a 4.42 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 50:13 K:BB across 38.2 innings (eight starts) before suffering the lat strain in late May.

  • Mets' Carlos Carrasco: Extends scoreless streak in win

    Carrasco (11-4) earned the win over Miami on Saturday, allowing four hits and two walks while striking out seven batters over 7.2 scoreless innings.

    Carrasco dominated the Marlins, allowing only one extra-base hit and preventing any runners from reaching third base en route to his 100th career victory. The veteran hurler was efficient, throwing 63 of 93 pitches for strikes in his second-longest outing of the campaign. Carrasco went through a rough patch in June but has turned things around dramatically in July, posting a 0.90 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 27:9 K:BB over 30 innings while compiling a 3-0 record. He's held his opponent scoreless in each of his past three starts and hasn't allowed any runs across his past 18.2 frames.
