Tomoyuki Sugano SP | BAL
Orioles' Tomoyuki Sugano: Labors versus Giants
Sugano (10-7) allowed seven runs on 10 hits and a walk while striking out four over 3.1 innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Giants.
Sugano gave up a solo shot to Rafael Devers in the first inning, and the right-hander ran into more trouble in the third and fourth frames. He's allowed 11 runs over 9.1 innings across his last two starts, which is discouraging after a three-start stretch in which he gave up just three runs (two earned) across 17.1 frames. For the season, Sugano has a 4.41 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 95:35 K:BB through 140.2 innings across 26 starts. He's tentatively scheduled to make his next start at home versus the Dodgers.

Pablo Lopez SP | MIN
Twins' Pablo Lopez: Excellent in final rehab start
Lopez (shoulder) pitched 5.2 scoreless innings in a rehab start with Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday, allowing four hits and one walk while striking out seven batters.
Lopez was sharp in what will likely be his final rehab outing, giving up just one hard-hit ball. He topped out at 95.6 miles per hour and averaged 93.9 mph with his fastball. Lopez totaled 82 pitches in the outing, so he appears set to handle something close to a normal workload upon his activation from the 60-day injured list. Assuming the Twins are satisfied with Lopez's condition coming out of Sunday's appearance, he'll likely line up to make a start against the Royals on the road next weekend.

Ian Seymour RP | TB
Rays' Ian Seymour: Fans eight in win
Seymour (3-0) allowed four runs (one earned) on four hits and a walk over five innings Sunday, striking out eight and earning a win over Washington.
Seymour gave up one run through three innings before two fourth-inning errors put three unearned runs on his line. The Rays scored three runs in the first three frames to lead Seymour to his second straight win. The rookie southpaw threw 57 of 82 pitches for strikes, and he generated 16 whiffs, including eight with his changeup. Seymour has looked impressive since joining the rotation, going 2-0 with a 16:2 K:BB over 10 innings. He owns a 2.97 ERA with a 42:10 K:BB at the MLB level this year. Seymour is projected to face the Guardians at home next weekend.

Martin Perez SP | CHW
White Sox's Martin Perez: Quality start in no-decision
Perez took a no-decision in Sunday's 3-2 win against the Yankees, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks over six innings with seven strikeouts.
The veteran southpaw held his own against a tough New York lineup in this 99-pitch outing, firing 62 strikes. Perez notched his fourth quality start of the season, as Aaron Judge accounted for the two runs he gave up -- the reigning AL MVP hit a solo shot in the first and scored on a Cody Bellinger double in third. Perez now sports a sterling 2.16 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 39:15 K:BB across 41.2 total frames. He is currently scheduled to face the division-leading Tigers in his next start on the road next weekend.

Kade Strowd RP | BAL
Orioles' Kade Strowd: Works scoreless outing Sunday
Strowd threw 1.2 scoreless innings of relief Sunday against the Giants, allowing one hit and one walk with one strikeout.
The rookie right-hander continues to be an effective member of Baltimore's new-look bullpen. Through 17 innings, Strowd has overcome a concerning 9:8 K:BB to produce a strong 1.59 ERA and 1.12 WHIP. Strowd has no holds or save chances in 2025, so he'll likely need to miss more bats and cut down on the walks in order to work his way up the pecking order.

Aaron Judge RF | NYY
Yankees' Aaron Judge: Slugs 43rd homer
Judge went 3-for-5 with a solo homer, a double and an additional run scored in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the White Sox.
The two-time MVP opened the game's scoring with a 426-foot solo shot off Chicago starter Martin Perez in the first inning. Prior to this performance, Judge had not been his typical self since rejoining to the lineup from an elbow injury Aug. 5, hitting .218 (17-for-78) with five homers and three doubles over 23 contests. The superstar has now homered in two straight, and Sunday marked his first game with three base knocks since his return from the injured list.

Luis Gil SP | NYY
Yankees' Luis Gil: Fans seven Sunday
Gil did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the White Sox. He allowed two runs on four hits and two walks over 5.1 innings with seven strikeouts.
The New York right-hander equaled a season high with his seven punchouts generated on 12 whiffs out of his 98 total pitches. Gil was cruising through the first five frames, conceding just one run on a Will Robertson double in the second. After giving up a solo homer to Colson Montgomery with one out in the sixth, Gil walked the next batter and was then lifted from the contest. Through 29.1 total innings, Gil now sports a 3.68 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 29:19 K:BB with a worrisome 25.6 percent groundball rate. The 27-year-old is scheduled to make his next appearance in the Yankees' upcoming home series next weekend against Toronto.

Pete Fairbanks RP | TB
Rays' Pete Fairbanks: Fans two for save
Fairbanks allowed two hits in a scoreless ninth inning to earn a save over the Nationals on Sunday. He struck out two.
Fairbanks worked around a pair of singles to escape unscathed in the 7-4 victory. He converted both of his save chances against Washington this weekend, but he's shown some shakiness lately; Fairbanks has given up four runs (three earned) on seven hits over his last five frames. Still, he owns a strong 2.81 ERA and 53:15 K:BB while converting 24 of his 29 save chances through 52 appearances.

Brandon Lowe 2B | TB
Rays' Brandon Lowe: Knocks grand slam
Lowe went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Sunday's win over Washington.
Lowe ripped a grand slam during the Rays' six-run second inning. It was his 28th long ball of the year and fourth in his last eight games. He leads all MLB second basemen in home runs and RBI (71) this season. Lowe owns a .264/.319/.493 slash line through 113 games and is approaching his first 30-homer campaign since 2021.

Daniel Schneemann 2B | CLE
Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Goes deep in loss
Schneemann went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk in Sunday's 4-2 loss to Seattle.
The Guardians utility man started at second before eventually shifting to third and snapped a 19-game long-ball draught in this contest. Schneeman cracked a 408-foot, two-run homer off Mariners starter Bryce Miller in the third to tally his team's only runs of the game. Schneeman, who is in a strong-side platoon role, is now slashing .220/.301/.381 with 11 homers, eight steals, 41 runs scored and 34 RBI across 357 total plate appearances.
