  • Robert Stock SP | NYM

    Mets' Robert Stock: Starting for Mets on Sunday

    Stock is scheduled to start in the Mets' series finale against the Marlins on Sunday, Andrew Tredinnick of The Bergen Record reports.

    Stock is in line to make his first major-league appearance since June 8, 2025 as a member of the Red Sox, and it will be his first start in the majors since 2021. He's made two starts for Triple-A Syracuse, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out nine across 7.2 frames. Stock was competing for a spot in the Mets' rotation in spring training before undergoing thoracic outlet syndrome surgery in March.

  • Twins' Connor Prielipp: Escapes with no-decision Saturday

    Prielipp didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Mariners, giving up three runs on four hits and four walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out five.

    The rookie left-hander tossed 58 of 88 pitches for strikes in a shaky performance and found himself in a 3-0 hole after two innings, but Prielipp avoided his sixth loss of the season when his offense rallied to tie it up once he's hit the showers. Despite missing time in June due to a blister problem, Prielipp has given up three earned runs or fewer in five straight outings dating back to June 19, posting a 3.86 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 30:10 K:BB over 28 innings during that stretch. He'll look to tighten things up in his next start, which is scheduled to come on the road next weekend in Milwaukee.

  • Kevin Gausman SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Kevin Gausman: Nabs fifth win Saturday

    Gausman (5-10) picked up the win Saturday, allowing one run on nine hits and one walk over 5.2 innings in a 5-1 victory over the Cardinals. He struck out four.

    In what could be his final start as a Blue Jay, Gausman blanked the Cards for five frames before running out of steam in the sixth and falling just short of his 12th quality start of the season. It was the veteran righty's best performance since June 30, after he'd stumbled to a 6.10 ERA in 20.2 innings over four outings in July, and his first win since May 22. If he remains with Toronto past the trade deadline, Gausman is set to take the mound on the road next week against the Cubs.

  • Quinn Mathews SP | STL

    Cardinals' Quinn Mathews: Solid in MLB debut

    Mathews (0-1) took the loss Saturday as the Cardinals fell 5-1 to the Blue Jays, allowing two runs on six hits and three walks over five-plus innings. He struck out three.

    In his big-league debut, Mathews kept things close but got little help from his offense, tossing 63 of 97 pitches for strikes and getting pulled after giving up a bunt single to Daulton Varsho to lead off the sixth. The Cards have yet to confirm whether the 25-year-old southpaw will stick around in the rotation, but with Dustin May likely to be moved by the trade deadline, a permanent spot could be about to open up. If he stays on turn, Mathews lines up to make his next start at home next weekend against the Rockies.

  • Wyatt Mills RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Wyatt Mills: Recalled by Dodgers

    The Dodgers recalled Mills from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday, Maddie Lee of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Mills spent all of July in Triple-A, where he allowed three hits and one walk while striking out seven across 6.2 innings that spanned six outings. The addition of Mills and Kyle Hurt will bolster the Dodgers' bullpen, with Will Klein (elbow) moving to the 15-day injured list and Cole Irvin being designated for assignment in corresponding moves.

  • Kyle Hurt RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Kyle Hurt: Back with big club

    The Dodgers recalled Hurt from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday, Maddie Lee of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Both Hurt and Mills have been called up from Triple-A, with Will Klein (elbow) moving to the 15-day IL and Cole Irvin being designated for assignment in corresponding moves. Hurt has spent the majority of the 2026 season in the majors, where he has a 4.59 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, eight holds, one save and a 39:18 K:BB over 33.1 innings.

  • Bryan Baker RP | TB

    Rays' Bryan Baker: Nails down MLB-high 31st save

    Baker secured the save Saturday against the White Sox, throwing a clean ninth inning. He struck out one.

    Baker made things look easy Saturday, landing each of his six pitches for strikes to dispatch the White Sox bats. The All-Star closer extended his scoreless to 12 innings as well, and he's gone a perfect 20-for-20 in save situations since his last blown save May 13 in Toronto. Through 43.1 frames, Baker boasts a 1.45 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 46:15 K:BB with an MLB-high 31 saves in 34 chances.

  • Cole Irvin RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Cole Irvin: Booted off 40-man roster

    The Dodgers designated Irvin for assignment Saturday, Maddie Lee of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Irvin made his 2026 major-league debut Friday, when he took the loss in a bulk-relief role against the Red Sox and allowed six runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out five across six innings. He has spent most of the season with Triple-A Oklahoma City, where he has a 9-6 record across 20 starts with a 3.49 ERA and 1.55 WHIP over 98 innings. In corresponding moves, both Kyle Hurt and Wyatt Mills were recalled from Triple-A while Will Klein (elbow) was placed on the 15-day injured list.

  • Will Klein RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Will Klein: Lands on IL with elbow discomfort

    The Dodgers placed Klein on the 15-day injured list Saturday due to right elbow discomfort, Maddie Lee of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Klein has given up 10 runs (eight runs) over his last five outings spanning six innings. His recent struggles may be partly due to his right elbow injury, and while a minimum stint on the IL would mark a mid-August return, the Dodgers will have a better grasp of Klein's recovery timeline once he's cleared to resume baseball activities. In corresponding moves, Kyle Hurt and Wyatt Mills were both recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City while southpaw Cole Irvin was designated for assignment.

  • Luis Arraez 2B | SF

    Giants' Luis Arraez: Scratched due to cramps

    Arraez was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Padres due to cramps, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Arraez experienced the symptoms during pregame warmups and was removed from the Giants' lineup for "precautionary reasons." Osleivis Basabe will now start at second base and bat ninth while Bryce Eldridge hits out of the leadoff spot.
