  • Sean Burke SP | CHW

    White Sox's Sean Burke: Unable to qualify for decision

    Burke did not factor into the decision in Monday's 8-3 win at Tampa Bay. He allowed two unearned runs on three hits and four walks over four innings with five strikeouts.

    Thanks to his lineup plating eight runs off Rays starter Shane Baz, Burke appeared set to cruise to his fifth win of the season; however, the Chicago right-hander issued four free passes and ran up his pitch count to 89 through four frames. This marks the fourth time this season Burke has yielded four or more walks in an outing, as he now sports a 4.2 BB/9. Across 101 total innings, the 25-year-old has pitched to a 4.19 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 85:47 K:BB. Burke is currently scheduled to make his next start against the crosstown rival Cubs at home this weekend.

  • J.T. Ginn SP | ATH

    Athletics' J.T. Ginn: Slated for Tuesday's start

    Ginn will start Tuesday's game against the Rangers, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Ginn has been pitching out of the bullpen of late, but he'll return to a starting role for Tuesday's matchup. He should be able to cover at least a few innings for the A's considering he fired 3.2 innings June 30 out of the bullpen and has navigated multiple frames in relief since.

  • Shane Baz SP | BAL

    Rays' Shane Baz: Clobbered by White Sox

    Baz (8-6) conceded eight runs on eight hits and two walks over four innings to take the loss in Monday's contest against the White Sox. He struck out four.

    Nothing went right for the Tampa Bay right-hander, as he allowed a career-worst eight earned runs in this 87-pitch disaster. Baz did not have his sharpest stuff, managing to generate just six whiffs. The 26-year-old has been prone to implosions this season, with this marking the sixth time he has allowed five or more runs out of 20 total starts. Baz will carry a 4.66 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 111:42 K:BB across 114 total innings into a dangerous matchup at Cincinnati this weekend.

  • Kyle Manzardo 1B | CLE

    Guardians' Kyle Manzardo: Homers in win

    Manzardo went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double and a walk in Monday's 10-5 win over the Orioles.

    Manzardo gave the Guardians a 6-5 lead they wouldn't relinquish with a solo homer in the sixth inning before being pinch hit for in the seventh to avoid a lefty-on-lefty matchup. The 25-year-old appears to be heating up, having homered three times while collecting hits in four of his past five games. For the year, he's slashing .219/.295/.453 with 16 long balls, 38 RBI, 28 runs scored and one steal across 308 plate appearances.

  • Davis Martin SP | CHW

    White Sox's Davis Martin: Set for Tuesday return

    Martin (forearm) will be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Tuesday's game against the Rays, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

    Martin completed his last rehab appearance July 13 at Triple-A Charlotte, and the club has since determined the right-hander is ready to return from the IL. He's been on the shelf since June 12 due to a right forearm strain, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see the White Sox monitor his pitch count closely during Tuesday's outing.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Reaches 20-20 milestone in win

    Ramirez went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run, a walk and two additional runs scored in Monday's 10-5 win over the Orioles.

    Ramirez tied the game with a three-run blast in the first inning and later came around to score in the fourth and seventh. According to Tim Stebbins of MLB.com, the 32-year-old became just the sixth player in major-league history to record seven 20-homer, 20-steal seasons, tying him for fourth on the all-time list. For the year, he's slashing .294/.364/.521 with 20 homers, 55 RBI, 60 runs scored and 29 stolen bases across 409 plate appearances.

  • Orioles' Ramon Laureano: Homers, drives in four in loss

    Laureano went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Monday's 10-5 loss to the Guardians.

    Laureano drove in a pair on a single in the first inning and then added a two-run homer in the third. The 31-year-old has hit safely in nine of his past 12 games, collecting five extra-base hits, 13 RBI, four runs scored and a stolen base in that span. He's been quietly productive for the struggling Orioles, slashing .280/.343/.511 with 12 home runs, 40 RBI, 36 runs scored and four steals across 251 plate appearances.

  • Tanner Bibee SP | CLE

    Guardians' Tanner Bibee: Delivers quality start in win

    Bibee (6-9) earned the win against the Orioles on Monday, allowing five runs (three earned) on six hits and no walks with four strikeouts over seven innings.

    Bibee allowed five runs over the first three innings but settled in with four scoreless frames to finish his outing. The 26-year-old generated an impressive 15 swinging strikes on 86 pitches and logged his first quality start in four July appearances. He'll carry a 4.27 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 99:33 K:BB across 116 innings into a road matchup with the Royals this weekend.

  • Orioles' Tomoyuki Sugano: Chased early in no-decision

    Sugano did not factor into the decision in Monday's 10-5 loss to the Guardians, allowing four runs (three earned) on six hits and four walks with four strikeouts over 3.2 innings.

    Sugano was spotted a three-run lead in the top of the first inning but gave it right back in the bottom half. The 35-year-old threw just 50 of 90 pitches for strikes and has now failed to complete five frames in five of eight outings since the start of June. He'll carry a 4.54 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 63:26 K:BB across 103 innings into a favorable home matchup with the Rockies this weekend.

  • Tyler Anderson SP | LAA

    Angels' Tyler Anderson: Concedes four runs in no-decision

    Anderson did not factor into the decision in Monday's 7-5 loss to the Mets. He allowed four runs on four hits and five walks over six innings with four strikeouts.

    The Los Angeles southpaw was solid through his first six innings, allowing just two runs on a Brett Baty homer in the fourth. Anderson then unraveled in the seventh, allowing the first two batters to reach before being removed after 87 total pitches -- reliever Reid Detmers subsequently allowed both inherited runners to score. This marks the fifth time in his last seven outings that Anderson has yielded three or more runs, as he now sports a 4.43 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 86:44 K:BB across 107.2 total frames. The 35-year-old will make his next start in the Angels' upcoming home series against Seattle this weekend.
