  • Keider Montero SP | DET

    Tigers' Keider Montero: Cruises to victory

    Motero (5-3) allowed three hits over five scoreless innings Sunday, striking out five and earning a win over the Marlins.

    Montero gave up three singles and did not allow a runner to reach scoring position. He fell short of a quality start but tossed 50 strikes on 76 total pitches; it was his highest pitch count since July 25, which was his last MLB appearance before spending just over a month with Triple-A Toledo. Montero now owns a 4.32 ERA with a 63:27 K:BB through 83.1 MLB innings this season. He's lined up for a home start against Atlanta next weekend.

  • Kodai Senga SP | NYM

    Mets' Kodai Senga: Slated for another Triple-A start

    Senga is expected to make another start at Triple-A Syracuse during the upcoming week, Will Sammon and Tim Britton of The Athletic report.

    After accepting a demotion to the minors Sept. 5 following a string of poor outings, Senga shined in his first start with Syracuse this past Friday, striking out eight batters over six innings while allowing one earned run on three hits and no walks. Unless the Mets place a player on a reserve list and recall Senga in a corresponding move, however, the right-hander won't be eligible to join the big club until Sept. 20. With that in mind, he'll stick around at Triple-A and will presumably stay on his typical five days' rest schedule to make his next start Thursday. If all goes well in that outing, Senga will likely rejoin the Mets for the final week of the regular season, but his exact role remains in flux. The Mets are already planning on using Sean Manaea in a piggyback role behind starter Clay Holmes on Tuesday against the Padres as the team transitions from a six-man rotation to a five-man setup during the upcoming week, and Senga could be deployed in a similar capacity as Manaea upon his return to the big club. Rookie Jonah Tong has struggled with both his command and control in his last two starts and may benefit from being used in a tandem when Senga is recalled, if Senga doesn't replace Tong in the rotation outright.

  • Adam Mazur P | MIA

    Marlins' Adam Mazur: Handed tough-luck loss

    Mazur (0-4) allowed two unearned runs on one hit and two walks over six innings Sunday, striking out four and taking a loss against Detroit.

    Mazur coughed up a pair of runs in the second inning due to two errors by his defense. He then retired 13 of the last 14 batters he faced to deliver his first quality start of the year. He had given up at least four runs in three of his last four starts, but he dropped his season ERA from 6.30 to 4.85 after Sunday's performance. Mazur has posted a 17:10 K:BB through 26 innings and has yet to strike out more than five batters in an outing. He's currently lined up for a road matchup with the Rangers next weekend.

  • Shane Bieber SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Shane Bieber: Wins with quality start

    Bieber (3-1) allowed a run on four hits and a walk over six innings Sunday, striking out five and earning a win against Baltimore.

    Bieber coughed up a solo homer to Coby Mayo in the second inning but otherwise did not face much trouble. It was Bieber's first quality start since his season debut Aug. 22. He had given up eight runs over 11.2 frames (6.17 ERA) over his last two starts before Sunday's win. Bieber forced a season-high 18 whiffs on 97 total pitches. He now owns a 3.72 ERA with a 30:4 K:BB through 29 innings. Bieber's next start is projected to be in Kansas City next weekend.

  • Bailey Ober SP | MIN

    Twins' Bailey Ober: Fans nine, takes loss

    Ober (5-8) took the loss Sunday against Arizona, conceding four runs on four hits and no walks over six innings. He struck out nine.

    Despite notching his eighth start without a free pass issued, Ober was saddled with the loss in this 101-pitch appearance. The Minnesota right-hander once again yielded a homer, his 30th given up of the season, when James McCann slugged a three-run long ball in the fourth inning, ruining Ober's opportunity for a quality start. The 30-year-old now sports a 5.12 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 114:28 K:BB across 135.1 total frames. He currently lines up to make his next start at home against Cleveland next weekend.

  • German Marquez SP | COL

    Rockies' German Marquez: Chased early Sunday

    Marquez (3-14) allowed seven runs (six earned) on nine hits and two walks while failing to record a strikeout over 2.1 innings, taking the loss Sunday versus the Padres.

    Marquez's last two starts have come on the road, but he's allowed a combined 12 runs (11 earned) over 7.1 innings in those games. The right-hander gave up three runs in each of the first two frames and continued to labor before Roansy Contreras relieved him in the third. On the year, Marquez has an awful 6.65 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 77:44 K:BB through 115 innings over 24 starts. He's tentatively projected for a home start versus the Angels in his next outing.

  • Yu Darvish SP | SD

    Padres' Yu Darvish: Collects fourth win

    Darvish (4-5) allowed three runs on four hits and struck out five without walking a batter over five-plus innings to earn the win over the Rockies on Sunday.

    Darvish had a sharp start through five frames, but he put on a pair of runners in the sixth, and Jeremiah Estrada wasn't able to prevent them from scoring. It was still a positive performance, as Darvish earned his first win since Aug. 22 versus the Dodgers, though he's allowed at least three runs in five of his last six outings. Darvish is at a 5.63 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 60:17 K:BB through 62.1 innings across 13 starts this season. His next outing is projected to be a road start versus the White Sox.

  • Miles Mikolas SP | STL

    Cardinals' Miles Mikolas: Collects eighth win

    Mikolas (8-10) earned the win Sunday at Milwaukee, yielding two runs on five hits and no walks over five innings with five strikeouts.

    The grizzled veteran continued his recent run of success, as he's pitched to a respectable 2.57 ERA and 1.00 WHIP across 21 innings over his last four outings. Both runs Mikolas conceded came by way of the long ball, with both Caleb Durbin and Danny Jansen popping solo shots off the St. Louis starter. Through 146.1 total frames, Mikolas has produced a 4.80 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 93:34 K:BB while coughing up 26 homers. The 37-year-old is currently slated for a rematch with the Brewers at home next weekend for his next turn in the rotation.

  • Kyle Hendricks SP | LAA

    Angels' Kyle Hendricks: No match for Mariners

    Hendricks (7-10) allowed nine runs on 10 hits and two walks while striking out six over 3.1 innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Mariners.

    Hendricks had allowed just three runs over his previous three starts (19 innings), but the Mariners' offense was able to do damage against him in the third and fourth innings. This was the third time in his last seven starts that he fell short of completing five frames. Hendricks is now at a 5.01 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 101:43 K:BB through 152.2 innings over 29 starts this season. The veteran right-hander is tentatively projected for a road start in Colorado for his next outing.

  • George Kirby SP | SEA

    Mariners' George Kirby: Fans 14 in win over Angels

    Kirby (9-7) allowed two runs on three hits and struck out 14 without walking a batter over 6.1 innings to earn the win Sunday over the Angels.

    Kirby had allowed 11 runs (10 earned) over six innings across his first two starts of September. He tied his career high for strikeouts in a game with this dominant performance. While Kirby has largely had mixed results all year, he's had the Angels' number in all three of his starts against them in 2025, allowing just six runs while posting a 37:3 K:BB over 19.2 innings. Overall, he's at a 4.46 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 120:28 K:BB through 115 innings across 21 starts. His next start is projected to be on the road versus Houston.
