  • Ixan Henderson SP | STL

    Cardinals' Ixan Henderson: Set for left elbow surgery

    Henderson is scheduled to undergo left elbow surgery Wednesday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    Henderson missed the first three months of the season with a flexor strain, only to go down with an elbow strain in his season debut in early August. It's unclear whether Wednesday's operation will be flexor tendon surgery or a different procedure, but it will end his 2026 campaign and could wipe out most, if not all, of his 2027 season.

  • Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Struggles out of bullpen in return

    Wrobleski allowed three runs (two earned) on two hits and one walk while striking out four batters over two relief innings during Tuesday's loss to St. Louis.

    Wrobleski was activated off the injured list Tuesday afternoon after recovering from a bout of left forearm inflammation. The left-hander worked out of the bullpen for the second time this season, entering in the seventh inning with Los Angeles down six runs. Wrobleski gave up a Joshua Baez solo homer in his first frame but did manage to strike out the side. He gave up two more runs -- one of which was unearned -- in the eighth and struggled with his control, walking one batter and uncorking a wild pitch. It's been a rough second half for Wrobleski, as he's followed his first career All-Star nod by posting a 7.07 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 31:9 K:BB over 28 innings across six second-half appearances. The long ball has been a huge problem during that span -- he's given up 12 homers, including multiple in three of those outings. Wrobleski figures to work in middle and long relief down the stretch, which will give him a chance to iron out his recent issues ahead of the postseason.

  • Rays' Freddy Peralta: Revenge game against Mets

    Peralta (7-11) picked up the win Tuesday, allowing one run on three hits over six innings in a 6-2 victory over the Mets. He struck out seven without walking a batter.

    Francisco Lindor's leadoff home run was the only blemish on Peralta's line, as he stymied the team that sent him south at the trade deadline. Peralta needed just 74 pitches (53 strikes) to deliver his second straight quality start and third in six outings for Tampa Bay, after he managed to produce only four in 22 trips to the mound for New York. He'll look to keep rolling in his next start, which could come either Sunday in Texas or next Tuesday in Atlanta, depending on whether the Rays plan to expand to a six-man rotation once Griffin Jax (elbow) returns from the injured list to start Wednesday's series finale with the Mets.

  • Sean Manaea SP | NYM

    Mets' Sean Manaea: Stung by Rays

    Manaea (4-7) took the loss Tuesday, giving up five runs on 11 hits and a walk over 5.2 innings as the Mets fell 6-2 to the Rays. He struck out two.

    It was the first time all season Manaea had allowed double-digit hits and four of them went for extra bases, including a Yandy Diaz solo shot in the sixth inning that helped chase the veteran lefty from the game. Manaea's midseason resurgence seems to have petered out -- he's been tagged for at least four earned runs in four straight trips to the mound, sagging to a 7.23 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 16:6 K:BB over 23.2 innings during that stretch. He'll try to turn things around in his next start, which lines up to come on the road early next week in Miami.

  • Paul Skenes SP | PIT

    Pirates' Paul Skenes: Stumbles against Giants

    Skenes didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's wild 13-12 win over the Giants, coughing up five runs on eight hits and three walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out four.

    An anticipated pitchers' duel between Skenes and Logan Webb never materialized, as the San Francisco ace got chased from the game in the third inning, while his Pittsburgh counterpart couldn't escape the fifth. Skenes has been able to complete six frames just once in his last seven starts, limping to a 5.77 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 41:18 K:BB through 34.1 innings over that stretch with an 0-3 record. He'll try to get back in the win column in his next outing, which is scheduled to come at home this weekend against the Angels.

  • Logan Webb SP | SF

    Giants' Logan Webb: Keelhauled by Bucs

    Webb escaped with a no-decision in Tuesday's wild 13-12 loss to the Pirates, surrendering nine runs on nine hits and two walks over two-plus innings. He struck out one.

    Pittsburgh put nine runs on the board in the third inning without getting any extra-base hits, chasing Webb from the game after seven straight batters reached base on five singles and two walks. It was his shortest outing of the season, and the nine runs allowed were a career worst for the right-hander. Webb is struggling to get to the finish line in 2026 -- he's failed to last three frames in two of his last three starts, with his ERA rising from 3.50 to 4.21 during that rough stretch. He'll try to turn things around in his next trip to the mound, which is set to come on the road this weekend against the Mets.

  • Gabriel Hughes SP | COL

    Rockies' Gabriel Hughes: No-decision Tuesday

    Hughes allowed one run on four hits and two walks while striking out four across 4.2 innings Tuesday against the Orioles. He didn't factor into the decision.

    Hughes held the Orioles to one run but couldn't make it through the fifth. The Orioles loaded the bases with two outs in that frame, prompting Colorado to summon Brennan Bernardino, who retired Gunnar Henderson to preserve the 2-1 lead. Hughes lowered his ERA to 6.19 with this outing, and this was the first time he didn't give up multiple earned runs since July 22. Hughes projects to make his next start on the road against the Yankees next week.

  • Luis De Leon SP | BAL

    Orioles' Luis De Leon: Takes loss in MLB debut

    De Leon (0-1) was tagged with the loss Tuesday against the Rockies after allowing two runs (one earned) on one hit while striking out one over one inning.

    De Leon entered the game in the seventh and the first batter he faced, Mickey Moniak, reached on a fielding error from Jackson Holliday before TJ Rumfield smacked a two-run homer to put the Rockies up for good. De Leon could continue seeing work out of the bullpen, but unless he gets into the mix for holds or saves, he won't carry much fantasy appeal.

  • Kyle Bradish SP | BAL

    Orioles' Kyle Bradish: Allows two runs in no-decision

    Bradish didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Rockies. He allowed two runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four over five innings.

    Bradish ran into trouble in the second inning, when Adael Amador opened the scoring with a two-out solo homer before Zac Veen tripled and scored on Jake McCarthy's RBI single. However, the right-hander kept the Rockies off the board over his final three frames, including working around a double and a walk in the fourth. While Bradish didn't factor into the decision, he still delivered a respectable performance in a tough environment in Colorado. This was a bounce-back effort after he allowed seven runs over 4.1 innings in a no-decision against the Cardinals his last time out. Bradish lines up to make his next start over the weekend at home against the Red Sox.

  • Nick Lodolo SP | CIN

    Reds' Nick Lodolo: Delivers quality start Tuesday

    Lodolo didn't factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks over six innings in a 4-3 victory over the Padres. He struck out five.

    It was Lodolo's first quality start since July 5, and his best performance since returning from the IL in mid-August with a new grip on his breaking ball to try and avoid further blisters. Over five starts since being activated, the southpaw has stumbled to a 6.45 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 19:8 K:BB in 22.1 innings. Lodolo will try to build on Tuesday's effort in his next outing, which lines up to come on the road early next week against the Dodgers.
