A.J. Smith-Shawver SP | ATL
Braves' AJ Smith-Shawver: Stellar in latest rehab start
Smith-Shawver (elbow) struck out five and allowed two hits and no walks over four scoreless innings in a rehab start Sunday with Single-A Augusta.
Nearing the finish line in his recovery from June 2025 Tommy John surgery, Smith-Shawver has looked sharp through two rehab outings with Augusta, spinning seven innings of one-run ball while posting a 9:0 K:BB. He'll likely move up to a higher-level affiliate for his third minor-league start and will be looking to build on his pitch count after tossing 46 (33 strikes) in Sunday's outing. If Smith-Shawver can come close to maintaining the form he's displayed thus far during his rehab assignment in his subsequent minor-league outings, Atlanta should have room for him in the big-league rotation when he likely returns from the 60-day injured list at some point shortly after the All-Star break.

Ryan Feltner SP | COL
Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Next start coming Thursday
Feltner is slated to make his next start Thursday against the Giants in San Francisco, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Feltner was initially slated to get the ball for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers, but Colorado will instead use the series finale in Los Angeles to break rookie Gabriel Hughes into the rotation as a replacement for the injured Tomoyuki Sugano (back). As a result of the change, Feltner now lines up for a rematch with the Giants, whom he limited to three runs (two earned) over six innings at Coors Field his last time out Friday. Since returning from the injured list in late May, Feltner has arguably been the Rockies' most dependable starter, going 2-1 with a 3.23 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 27:12 K:BB in 39 innings across seven outings.

Jhony Brito RP | SD
Padres' Jhony Brito: Covers 1.2 innings in 2026 debut
Brito tossed 1.2 perfect relief innings with one strikeout to earn a hold in Tuesday's 4-1 win over Arizona.
Brito pitched in the majors for the first time since undergoing UCL internal brace surgery and a flexor tendon repair procedure in April 2025. The right-hander looked great in his return, throwing 13 of 17 pitches for strikes and retiring all five batters he faced. Brito also impressed in a minor-league rehab stint leading up to his activation, recording a 1.46 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 27:14 K:BB over 37 frames spanning eight starts. He's stretched out well beyond the pitch count he registered Tuesday, so Brito could eventually be deployed as a bulk reliever or as a starter. For now, he may be assigned to work in a piggyback role with German Marquez, who was initially tabbed as an opener for Tuesday's contest but ended up covering five innings on 82 pitches.

Logan Henderson SP | MIL
Brewers' Logan Henderson: Confirmed to start Thursday
Henderson (back) will be activated from the 15-day injured list and start Thursday's game in St. Louis, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
The Brewers previously had confirmed that Henderson's next start would come in the majors, and now he's been announced as the starter for Thursday's series finale versus the Cardinals. Henderson has been shelved since late May with a back strain but has been cleared to return after allowing two earned runs with an 11:2 K:BB over 6.2 innings in two rehab outings. The righty threw 68 pitches in his last rehab start, so he will not be ready for a full workload Thursday.

Gabriel Hughes SP | COL
Rockies' Gabriel Hughes: First MLB start on tap
Hughes will start Wednesday's game against the Dodgers in Los Angeles, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Following his call-up from Triple-A Albuquerque last week, Hughes made his MLB debut out of the bullpen Friday, collecting a save while allowing three baserunners over three scoreless frames. The 24-year-old righty will now get the chance to make his first big-league start, joining the Colorado rotation as a replacement for the injured Tomoyuki Sugano (back). Prior to his promotion, Hughes had been working out of the Albuquerque rotation and posted a strong 48:11 K:BB in 40.2 innings, though pitching in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League inflated his ERA (5.31) and WHIP (1.29).

Justin Bruihl RP | STL
Cardinals' Justin Bruihl: Back in action Tuesday
Bruihl (ankle) logged two scoreless innings in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Brewers.
Bruihl had to be lifted from an outing Monday with a right ankle sprain, but he bounced back quickly and was available for the Cardinals' next game. Though he got off to a slow start this season, the lefty reliever has settled in nicely with a 1.31 ERA and 16:4 K:BB over 20.2 innings covering his last 15 appearances.

Rafael Devers 1B | SF
Giants' Rafael Devers: Scores in loss
Devers went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Tuesday's 9-3 loss to the Blue Jays.
Devers hit a leadoff single in the second inning before coming around to score San Francisco's first run. The veteran infielder has reached base in 11 straight games, batting .333 with 10 runs scored, nine RBI and six home runs in 45 plate appearances during that span. He's now slashing .246/.312/.476 with 47 RBI, 46 runs scored and 18 long balls across 385 plate appearances this season.

Luis Arraez 2B | PHI
Giants' Luis Arraez: Multi-hit effort in loss
Arraez went 2-for-4 with an RBI double in Tuesday's 9-3 loss to Toronto.
Arraez singled in the third inning and lined an RBI double to right field in the fifth, driving in San Francisco's final run. He's reached base in 10 of his last 11 games, batting .372 with five runs scored, four RBI, a home run and a stolen base in 48 plate appearances during that span. Overall, he's slashing .327/.364/.462 with 45 runs scored, 34 RBI, seven stolen bases and four long balls across 380 plate appearances this season.

Jordan Walker RF | STL
Cardinals' Jordan Walker: Belts 21st homer
Walker went 3-for-8 with with a two-run home run and a second run scored across both games of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Brewers.
The breakout slugger gave his squad an early 2-0 lead in the matinee by taking Jacob Misiorowski deep, but it was pretty much all downhill from there for the Cardinals as they got swept. Walker has homered three times in the last seven games, giving him 21 long balls on the season, and during that stretch he's batting .348 (8-for-23) with two doubles, nine runs, 10 RBI and more walks (six) than strikeouts (five).
