  • Hunter Greene SP | CIN

    Reds' Hunter Greene: Throws one-hitter Thursday

    Greene (7-4) threw a shutout Thursday versus the Cubs, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out nine over nine innings.

    This was the second shutout of Greene's career, with the other coming in his rookie year in 2022. He was perfect through four innings before Moises Ballesteros reached on an error to lead off the fifth. Greene then walked Michael Busch in the sixth and allowed a double to Seiya Suzuki in the seventh. Aside from a poor showing versus the Athletics last Saturday, Greene has been dominant in September, allowing a total of seven runs over 24.2 innings across his four starts this month to keep the Reds feasibly still in the hunt for a playoff spot. Greene is now at a 2.74 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 125:24 K:BB through 101.2 innings over 18 starts this season. He is projected to make his last start of the regular season at home versus the Pirates next week.

  • Roki Sasaki P | LAD

    Dodgers' Roki Sasaki: Making appearance in relief

    Sasaki (shoulder/calf) is scheduled to pitch in relief for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Sasaki suffered a calf injury in his rehab appearance Sept. 9 and is also working his way back from a shoulder injury that has sidelined him for most of the season. His shift to a relief role is notable, as he could also be auditioning for a postseason roster spot as a bullpen arm.

  • J.T. Ginn P | ATH

    Athletics' J.T. Ginn: Six strong innings in fourth win

    Ginn (4-6) picked up the win Thursday against the Red Sox, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out three.

    Thursday marked Ginn's first quality start since July 27 in Houston, and he's now yielded just three runs over his first 15.1 innings of the month. The right-hander also took on a season-high workload, tossing 98 pitches, and he generated an impressive 14 whiffs. Next week's scheduled outing against the division-rival Astros could be the final appearance of the year for Ginn, who'll be looking to build on Thursday's performance and improve his middling 4.57 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 95:28 K:BB over 86.2 innings.

  • Brayan Bello SP | BOS

    Red Sox's Brayan Bello: Struggles to provide length in loss

    Bello (11-8) was charged with the loss Thursday against the Athletics, allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits and two walks in four innings. He struck out three.

    It was the first time Bello was unable fire at least five innings since way back on May 28, and the 70 pitches represented his second-lowest total of the season. The month of September hasn't been kind so far for the right-hander, who has a 5.85 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 13:9 K:BB across his last 20 innings. Bello will be aiming to right the ship in what may be his final appearance of the regular season next week in Toronto, where he'll bring a career-best 3.34 ERA and 1.24 WHIP to go with a 121:56 K:BB over 161.2 frames.

  • Chris Bassitt SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Chris Bassitt: Falls to Rays

    Bassitt (11-9) took the loss Thursday against Tampa Bay, allowing three runs on eight hits and two walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out three.

    All three runs charged to Bassitt came in the second inning, when the Rays strung together five straight two-out singles. The 36-year-old Bassitt has gone 10 starts without a win (his last victory came on July 23), though he had pitched to a 2.30 ERA in five outings prior to Thursday. Overall, the right-hander sports a 3.96 ERA with a 1.33 WHIP and 166:52 K:BB through 170.1 innings this season. Bassitt's currently in line to face the Red Sox at home his next time out.

  • Shane Baz SP | TB

    Rays' Shane Baz: Rebounds vs. Toronto

    Baz (10-12) earned the win Thursday over the Blue Jays, allowing two hits and a walk over five scoreless innings. He struck out four.

    After giving up five runs in just 2.1 innings against the Cubs his last time out, Baz bounced back with an impressive showing against the Blue Jays with his second scoreless outing in his last four starts. It's been an up-and-down year overall for the 26-year-old Baz, who sports a 4.99 ERA with a 1.35 WHIP and 173:61 K:BB through 30 starts (162.1 innings). He's currently lined up to face the Orioles on the road his next time out.

  • Tarik Skubal SP | DET

    Tigers' Tarik Skubal: Strikes out nine in no-decision

    Skubal did not factor into the decision Thursday against the Guardians, allowing one run on seven hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out nine.

    Skubal certainly appeared to be healthy Thursday after leaving his last start in the fourth inning with side tightness. The lone run against the left-hander came on a Jhonkensy Noel solo homer in the fourth inning. Skubal's now logged eight or more strikeouts in 16 starts this season. His ERA sits at an AL-leading 2.23 with a 0.88 WHIP and 233:30 K:BB through 30 starts (189.1 innings). Skubal's tentatively scheduled for a rematch with Cleveland on the road his next time out.

  • Tanner Bibee SP | CLE

    Guardians' Tanner Bibee: Sharp again in win

    Bibee (11-11) earned the win Thursday over the Tigers, allowing a run on four hits and two walks across six innings. He struck out eight.

    Bibee's turned in three straight quality starts, giving up just four runs over 21.2 innings while striking out 21 in that span. The 26-year-old right-hander's lowered his ERA to 4.34 on the season with a 1.23 WHIP and 157:52 K:BB through 30 starts (176.1 innings). Bibee will look to keep rolling in his next outing, tentatively scheduled as a home rematch with the Tigers next week.

  • Jose Soriano RP | LAA

    Angels' Jose Soriano: Lands on IL

    The Angels placed Soriano on the 15-day injured list Thursday with a right forearm contusion.

    Soriano was taken out of his most recent start Wednesday after getting hit on the forearm by a comebacker. X-rays on his forearm came back negative, but the Angels will place him on the injured list anyway, putting an early end to his season. The 26-year-old will finish 2025 with a 4.26 ERA and 1.40 WHIP alongside a 152:78 K:BB across 169 innings. Sam Aldegheri was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move.

  • Padres' Randy Vasquez: Stumbles vs. Mets

    Vasquez (5-7) took the loss Thursday against the Mets, allowing four runs on four hits and a walk across 2.1 innings. He struck out three.

    After turning in back-to-back quality starts in his previous two outings, Vasquez struggled Thursday, giving up a solo homer to Pete Alonso in the first inning before allowing another three runs before departing in the third. Through 125.2 innings this year, Vasquez sports a 3.94 ERA with a 1.36 WHIP and 74:50 K:BB. He'll look to get back on track in his next start, tentatively scheduled for next week at home against the Brewers.
