Cade Cavalli SP | WAS
Nationals' Cade Cavalli: Goes five innings in no-decision
Cavalli didn't factor into the decision Sunday against the Pirates, allowing three runs on three hits and four walks across five innings. He struck out two.
Cavalli struggled early Sunday, giving up three runs in the first inning, highlighted by a Nick Gonzales two-run triple. However, the 27-year-old right-hander stopped the bleeding there, holding the Pirates scoreless over his final four frames. Cavalli has held opponents to three runs or fewer in each of his last three starts, going 2-0 with a 4.20 ERA in that span. Overall, his ERA sits at 4.76 with a 1.46 WHIP and 31 strikeouts across eight starts (39.2 innings) this season. Cavalli currently lines up for a road matchup with the Mets his next time out.

Trey Yesavage SP | TOR
Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: Will start in MLB debut Monday
Blue Jays manager John Schneider announced that Yesavage will be called up from Triple-A Buffalo to start Monday's game at Tampa Bay.
Since Yesavage had worked in relief in two of his last three appearances with Buffalo, the early expectation was that he would begin his time in the big leagues in the bullpen, but Schneider noted that deploying the 22-year-old as a starter would make his MLB debut as "normal as possible," per Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca. Depending on how Yesavage fares Monday, he could continue starting or shift to a multi-inning relief role, with Schneider noting that the youngster won't face any sort of innings cap over the final two weeks of regular season, according to Davidi. Yesavage -- who has emerged as one of the top pitching prospects in baseball this season -- earned his call-up to the majors after he submitted a 3.12 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 160:41 K:BB in 98 innings across his four minor-league stops in 2025.

Tyler Mahle SP | TEX
Rangers' Tyler Mahle: Next outing in majors
Mahle (shoulder) will return from the 60-day injured list to make his next appearance with the Rangers during the upcoming week, MLB.com reports.
Mahle is ready to make his first appearance for the Rangers since June 10 after completing a three-start rehab assignment with Triple-A Round Rock. During his most recent outing Friday, Mahle struck out six and allowed one hit and no walks over four shutout innings while tossing 52 pitches. Since he's not yet stretched out enough to handle a typical starter's workload, Mahle could temporarily work as a bulk reliever, or perhaps get deployed in a piggyback arrangement with current No. 5 starter Jacob Latz.

Rhett Lowder SP | CIN
Reds' Rhett Lowder: Works two innings in rehab game
Lowder (oblique/forearm) allowed one earned run on two hits and struck out two over two innings in a rehab start for Triple-A Louisville on Saturday. He also hit a batter.
Lowder is expected to make one rehab start with Louisville before the minor-league season wraps up, but the right-hander may not be activated from the 60-day injured list before the end of the regular season. Though he appears to be in line for a normal offseason of preparation, Lowder is still expected to pitch in the Arizona Fall League to make up for the development time he lost out on in 2025. He's spent the entire season on the injured list, first due to a right forearm strain suffered in spring training before he was shut down again after straining his left oblique during a rehab appearance with Louisville on May 22.

Hunter Greene SP | CIN
Reds' Hunter Greene: Falters against A's
Greene allowed five runs on four hits and four walks while striking out three over 2.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Athletics on Saturday.
Greene gave up a pair of home runs in the second inning and his struggles continued in the third before the early hook. This was his shortest start of the year and his worst performance since allowing five runs over three innings April 19 versus the Orioles. He's still at a 3.01 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 116:23 K:BB through 92.2 innings over 17 starts, so this can be chalked up as a bad night, especially since four of his previous five outings were quality starts. The right-hander will try to get back on track in a home start versus the Cubs next week.

Luis Severino SP | ATH
Athletics' Luis Severino: Yields five runs
Severino allowed five runs on six hits and two walks while striking out two over five innings in a no-decision versus the Reds on Saturday.
All of the runs on his line came on a pair of home runs, as Will Benson hit a two-run shot in the second inning and Tyler Stephenson added a three-run blast in the fourth. Severino has now allowed eight runs with a 13:4 K:BB over five innings since returning from an oblique injury. He's at a 4.82 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 116:48 K:BB through 151.1 innings across 27 starts this season. The 31-year-old's next start is projected to be a favorable road matchup in Pittsburgh.

Sonny Gray SP | BOS
Cardinals' Sonny Gray: Fans eight in no-decision
Gray did not factor into the decision in Saturday's extra-inning game against the Brewers, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk while striking out eight across five innings.
Gray was in line for his 14th win of the season -- which would have tied a career high he set twice -- but the Cardinals squandered their 6-1 lead after yielding five runs across the eighth and ninth innings. He generated 14 whiffs on 95 pitches (58 strikes) and extended his streak of logging at least five strikeouts to 16 games. Gray is up to 187 strikeouts on the season, which is tied with Yoshinobu Yamamoto for seventh most in the National League. Gray is in line for a rematch against the Brewers at home next weekend.

Andrew Alvarez P | WAS
Nationals' Andrew Alvarez: Shines with six scoreless frames
Alvarez finished with a no-decision against Pittsburgh on Saturday, allowing three hits and one walk while striking out five batters over six scoreless innings.
Alvarez was very impressive in his third big-league outing, preventing the Pirates from crossing the plate over six frames. He exited in line for the victory, but Washington's bullpen blew the lead by giving up five runs in the final two innings. Though Alvarez was unable to record the win, he continued what has been an excellent beginning to his big-league career -- through three starts, he has a 1.15 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 11:6 K:BB across 15.2 innings. The southpaw's next appearance is slated to be a road matchup against the Mets.

Jacob Misiorowski SP | MIL
Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Yields four runs in no-decision
Misiorowski did not factor into the decision in Saturday's extra-inning win over the Cardinals, allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out four across five innings.
Misiorowski gave up home runs to Ivan Herrera and Brendan Donovan in the first and third innings, respectively, which made Saturday's contest just the second time Misiorowski has yielded more than one homer in a game this season. Misiorowski has yielded at least three earned runs in five of his last six starts, during which he's posted a 6.41 ERA and 1.35 WHIP across 26.2 innings. He's lined up for a rematch against the Cardinals in St. Louis next weekend.

Clayton Kershaw SP | LAD
Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw: Lacks best stuff in short start
Kershaw allowed four runs on five hits and four walks while striking out two over three innings in a no-decision versus the Giants on Saturday.
Kershaw gave up all four runs in the first inning and was shaky in the second before a sharp third. He was pulled at 67 pitches (39 strikes), though low pitch counts haven't been unusual for the veteran lefty this year. He's now at a 3.53 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 71:30 K:BB through 102 innings across 20 starts this season. Kershaw will aim to get back on track at home in a rematch with the Giants next week.
