  • Yusei Kikuchi SP | LAA

    Angels' Yusei Kikuchi: Gives up season-high six runs

    Kikuchi (6-9) took the loss Tuesday against the Rangers, allowing six runs on four hits and three walks in four innings. He struck out three.

    Kikuchi has been quite dependable overall for the Angels and fantasy managers in 2025, but he conceded greater than four runs for the first time this year Tuesday. The Japanese left-hander has also struggled for consistency since the beginning of July, posting a 5.18 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 57:20 K:BB over his last 57.1 innings. Kikuchi will try to regain his footing next week against the division-rival Astros, who have a weak .667 OPS versus left-handed pitching since the All-Star break.

  • Patrick Corbin SP | TEX

    Rangers' Patrick Corbin: Twirls eight brilliant innings

    Corbin (7-9) earned the win Tuesday against the Angels, allowing three hits and one walk in eight shutout innings. He struck out eight.

    On a day when the Rangers learned that ace Nathan Eovaldi (shoulder) is unlikely to return this season, Corbin delivered arguably his finest performance of the year. The veteran southpaw matched a season high in innings, fell one punchout shy of his season best and tied a season low in hits allowed while logging his first scoreless start of at least six frames on the campaign. Corbin will carry a 4.33 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 109:43 K:BB over 131 innings into his next scheduled start, which is set to be a tough matchup against an Arizona club with an .830 OPS versus left-handed pitching since the beginning of August.

  • Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Fans 10 in no-decision

    Misiorowski didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Diamondbacks, allowing three runs on four hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out 10.

    It was an encouraging showing overall for Misiorowski, who had not worked at least five innings in any of his previous four starts. The rookie phenom generated a whopping 19 whiffs en route to recording double-digit strikeouts for the second time this year, and he threw a season-high 93 pitches as well. Misiorowski holds a 4.33 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 65:21 K:BB over 43.2 frames, and he's in line for a tough test on the road against the first-place Blue Jays over the weekend.

  • Brandon Pfaadt SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Brandon Pfaadt: Tagged for six runs in short outing

    Pfaadt took a no-decision Tuesday against the Brewers, allowing six runs on eight hits and one walk in 2.2 innings. He struck out four.

    It was Pfaadt's shortest start since he failed to record an out during his calamitous May 31 outing against the Nationals. The 26-year-old right-hander is now up to seven appearances with at least eight hits allowed among his 27 starts, and he's also yielded at least six runs on five occasions this season. Pfaadt is set to bring a rough 5.24 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 117:33 K:BB over 142.2 frames into a scary matchup on the road against the Dodgers this weekend, which makes him tough to trust from a fantasy standpoint.

  • Padres' Robert Suarez: Locks down 35th save

    Suarez picked up the save Tuesday against the Mariners. He allowed no hits or walks with no strikeouts over a perfect inning.

    Suarez gave up some hard contact but retired the side to lock down a Padres win Tuesday. The flamethrowing right-hander has endured shaky moments when his command wavers, yet he's still converted 35 of 40 save chances -- tied for the most saves in the majors with Carlos Estevez.

  • Colt Keith DH | DET

    Tigers' Colt Keith: Homers in three-hit effort

    Keith went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Athletics.

    Keith's blast tied the game at 5-5 in the fifth inning. He entered the contest in an 0-for-11 slump at the plate. The infielder is up to a .264/.343/.433 slash line, 12 homers, 40 RBI, 58 runs scored and one stolen base through 118 games this season. Keith remains in a strong-side platoon role and has seen the bulk of his playing time come at third base lately.

  • Eugenio Suarez 3B | SEA

    Mariners' Eugenio Suarez: Clubs 41st homer

    Suarez went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Padres.

    Suarez sparked Seattle with a go-ahead three-run homer in the fifth inning, but the momentum was short-lived as San Diego answered back in the sixth inning and held on for the win. Since being dealt from Arizona at the trade deadline, the third baseman has struggled to replicate his previous success, slashing .174/.250/.395 with four doubles, five homers and 14 RBI across 24 games in his second career stint in a Mariners uniform.

  • Riley Greene LF | DET

    Tigers' Riley Greene: Launches grand slam in loss

    Greene went 2-for-5 with a grand slam in Tuesday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Athletics.

    Greene has hit safely in five straight games, with three homers among his seven hits in that span. The outfielder made an early impact in the third inning Tuesday, though the Tigers coughed up the lead in the bottom of the frame. Greene is now at 32 homers, 99 RBI, 72 runs scored, two stolen bases and a .268/.323/.517 slash line through 130 contests on the year.

  • Will Vest RP | DET

    Tigers' Will Vest: Takes blown save, loss

    Vest (6-3) allowed two runs (one earned) on one hit and three walks over one-third of an inning, taking the loss and a blown save versus the Athletics on Tuesday.

    Vest couldn't find the strike zone, throwing just nine of 23 pitches for strikes. It was just the fourth time all year he's walked multiple batters in an appearance. Vest has allowed six runs (five earned) over 11.1 innings in August, converting three of his five save chances. With Kyle Finnegan yet to allow a run since being acquired from the Nationals, Vest can't afford to have too many shaky outings. Vest is 19-for-25 in save chances while adding three holds with a 2.81 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 64:19 K:BB through 57.2 innings this season.

  • Charlie Morton SP | DET

    Tigers' Charlie Morton: Surrenders five runs

    Morton allowed five runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out seven over five innings in a no-decision versus the Athletics on Tuesday.

    Morton had trouble early, allowing a three-run home run to Jacob Wilson in the first inning. A pair of wild pitches didn't help Morton's performance, but the Tigers' offense spared him from ending up with a loss. Morton is now at a 5.25 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 137:58 K:BB through 128.2 innings over 28 appearances (22 starts) between Detroit and Baltimore this season. The right-hander's next start is projected to be at home versus the Mets.
