Mariners Rotation Set to Start the Second Half

Seattle Mariners right-hander Luis Castillo has been given the nod to start the first game after the All-Star break against their division opponent, the Houston Astros. This is a big series for the Mariners, as they find themselves five games behind the Astros in the AL West race. Castillo has been solid for the Mariners […]


Diamondbacks Set Rotation to Kick Off Second Half

Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Brandon Pfaadt is scheduled to start on Friday against the St. Louis Cardinals for the start of the second half. It is odd that Pfaadt is the first to start after the All-Star break, considering he owns a 5.16 ERA in 99 1/3 innings pitched thus far in 2025. Nonetheless, Pfaadt will […]


Tyler Glasnow Scheduled to Start on Friday

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Tyler Glasnow is scheduled to toe the rubber versus the Milwaukee Brewers in their first series post-All-Star break. Glasnow faced the Brewers in his last turn through the rotation on July 9, which was also his first start back from his shoulder injury that had kept him out since late April. […]


Carlos Estevez Drawing Interest as the Trade Deadline Approaches

MLB.com's Francys Romero reported on Thursday that Kansas City Royals reliever Carlos Estevez might be one of the bullpen pitchers drawing the most interest. Teams like the Yankees have been keeping an eye on him in recent months, per sources. The Royals have underachieved thus far this season, and it appears that the Detroit Tigers […]


Nestor Cortes Expected to Return in the Next 10-14 Days

Milwaukee Brewers left-hander Nestor Cortes (elbow) is expected to return to the Milwaukee Brewers in about 10-14 days after suffering a left-elbow flexor strain back on April 6, Francys Romero reports. Thus far this season, he has made two starts, one of which was a nightmare, where he allowed eight earned runs against the New […]


Kyle Schwarber Named All-Star Game MVP

Philadelphia Phillies designated hitter Kyle Schwarber was named the 2025 Ted Williams All-Star Game MVP in Tuesday's National League win over the American League in an extra-inning swing-off. During the game, Schwarber went 0-for-2 with a walk, but blasted three home runs in the swing-off to help the National League come home with the win. […]


Aroldis Chapman and Red Sox Have Not Discussed Contract Extension

Boston Red Sox left-hander Aroldis Chapman said he hasn't talked to the Red Sox about any contract beyond this season, beat writer Rob Bradford reports. Chapman is currently under a one-year, $10.75 million contract with the Red Sox, which is set to expire at the end of this season. Chapman is putting together a great […]


Ezequiel Tovar Likely Back After the All-Star Break

The Colorado Rockies have reported that shortstop Ezequiel Tovar (oblique) is likely to return after the All-Star break, according to Thomas Harding, the Rockies' beat writer. Tovar injured his oblique back on June 6, and over the past few weeks, he has played in six rehab games, struggling mightily. He's gone 3-for-25 with no extra-base […]


Shane Bieber Fans Five in Rehab Start

Cleveland Guardians right-hander Shane Bieber (elbow) was sharp in his rehab start against the Dodgers in the Arizona Complex League. He threw two innings, allowed one hit, no runs, one walk, and struck out five batters. While the line is solid for Bieber in this one, the most crucial thing will be that he does […]


Blake Snell Sharp in Second Rehab Start

Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Blake Snell (shoulder) took another step toward his eventual return to the Majors on Tuesday night. Snell completed his second rehab start on Tuesday, this time with the Dodgers' Arizona Complex League affiliate, tossing three innings, allowing one earned run, and racking up seven strikeouts. He appeared sharp in this outing, […]


Spencer Arrighetti Nearing a Rehab Assignment

Houston Astros right-hander Spencer Arrighetti (thumb) could begin a rehab assignment in the next week or two, according to Astros general manager Dana Brown. Arrighetti is currently throwing live batting practice in Florida, and a rehab assignment would be a significant next step in getting him back in the Astros' rotation and helping them make […]


Max Fried Still Dealing With a Blister on his Finger

New York Yankees left-hander Max Fried (finger) said it's still too soon to know if he'll pitch against the Atlanta Braves after the All-Star break, but his blister is moving in the "right direction" and "getting better," the New York Daily News' Gary Phillips reports. Fried exited in his start against the Chicago Cubs on […]


Zach Eflin Decent in Rehab Outing at Double-A Chesapeake on Sunday

Baltimore Orioles right-hander Zach Eflin (back) was decent in his rehab outing on Sunday with Double-A Chesapeake, throwing four innings while allowing five hits, two earned runs, one walk, two strikeouts, and giving up one home run. He is scheduled to throw Friday in Sarasota and then potentially rejoin the Orioles' rotation after that. Eflin […]


Bailey Ober Continues to Throw Bullpens

Minnesota Twins right-hander Bailey Ober (hip) has been able to throw multiple bullpen sessions since landing on the injured list July 2, MLB.com reports. Following his start on June 28 against the Detroit Tigers, Ober landed on the injured list with a hip injury. He proceeded to take an anti-inflammatory medicine, and since then, his […]


Zebby Matthews Sharp in His Rehab Outing on Sunday

Minnesota Twins pitcher Zebby Matthews (shoulder) threw four shutout innings with nine strikeouts, no walks, and one hit allowed in his start Sunday for Triple-A St. Paul. His fastball reached 97-98 mph, and he got 12 outs on 56 pitches. It might be a one-and-done rehab assignment, depending on the Twins' rotation plan out of […]


Felix Bautista Not Likely to be Moved at the Trade Deadline

The Baltimore Orioles have reported that they are open to being sellers at the trade deadline this year after a disappointing season thus far, as they sit 11.5 games back in the AL East and have a 42-50 record. Per SportsNet New York, the Orioles are said to be ready or near ready to talk […]


Ezequiel Tovar Goes Hitless in Triple-A on Thursday

Colorado Rockies shortstop Ezequiel Tovar (oblique) was the designated hitter for the Albuquerque Isotopes on Thursday and was 0-for-4 with one strikeout. Tovar is now 2-for-20 with four strikeouts in July as he continues to rehab from his injury back in early June. On the season for the Rockies, he is slashing .258/.301/.406 with three […]


Nationals Release Their Weekend Rotation

The Washington Nationals announced their weekend starters on Thursday, as they will go with Mitchell Parker on Friday, Shinnosuke Ogasawara on Saturday, and Jake Irvin on Sunday, per Mark Zuckerman, beat writer for the Nationals. The Nationals are coming off a three-game series against the Saint Louis Cardinals that ended on Thursday, while the Brewers […]


Yoshinobu Yamamoto Tallies Eight Strikeouts on Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto (8-6) was fantastic again on Tuesday against the Chicago White Sox. In a dream matchup, he went seven innings, allowed three hits, one earned run, and tallied eight punchouts. In this outing, he fired 98 pitches, 65 of them being strikes, with his only blemish being a two-out RBI […]


Garrett Mitchell has Successful Shoulder Surgery

According to Milwaukee Brewers beat writer Adam McCalvy, outfielder Garrett Mitchell's shoulder surgery went as planned on Tuesday. There had previously been hope that he would play late this season, but after further deliberation, it is likely that Mitchell's season is over, Pat Murphy said. At this point, it appears Mitchell will do his best […]


Brandon Woodruff Likely to Pitch on Sunday in Miami

Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Brandon Woodruff (elbow) appears to have completed his rehab assignment and is expected to start this weekend in Miami against the Marlins. According to Curt Hogg, beat writer for the Brewers, "Pencil in your calendars: Brandon Woodruff "looks like" he will pitch in Miami on Sunday, Pat Murphy said. Woodruff will take […]


Rhys Hoskins Out of the Lineup in Game 1 of Doubleheader

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins will take a seat in Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the New York Mets. The Mets will deploy right-hander Clay Holmes on the mound in Game 1 and the less experienced Blade Tidwell in Game 2. Left-handed hitting Jake Bauers will start at first base in Game 1 […]


Marcell Ozuna Deals With Cramping on Tuesday, Should be in the Lineup Wednesday

Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker said that Marcell Ozuna was cramping on Tuesday and should play on Wednesday. Even if his hip is no longer an issue, there's reason to at least occasionally sit him and have either Drake Baldwin or Sean Murphy fill the designated hitter role, MLB.com's Mark Bowman reports. Ozuna played through […]


Blake Perkins Nearing a Return to the Brewers

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Blake Perkins (shin) is scheduled to play all nine innings for Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday and Wednesday before being ready to come off the injured list, MLB.com's Adam McCalvy reports. The outfielder fractured his shin in late February and has spent the season so far on the injured list. Last season for […]


Manuel Rodriguez Throws a Bullpen Session on Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays reliever Manuel Rodriguez (elbow) threw a bullpen session on Tuesday, MLB.com reports. The bullpen session reportedly went well, and this was a good step in Rodriguez's return to the Rays' bullpen. Back on June 10, his elbow was sore after recording three outs on June 9. Imaging showed slight inflammation due to […]


Tyler Mahle Transferred to the 60-Day Injured List

Texas Rangers right-hander Tyler Mahle (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Texas Rangers PR reports. The veteran right-hander has already been ruled out through the July 31 trade deadline due to the injury, so the move to the 60-day IL won't affect his return timeline much. Mahle will be eligible for reinstatement […]


X-Rays on Willsonn Contreras' Hand Come Back Structurally Clean

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Willson Contreras (hand) underwent X-rays, and the team has diagnosed him with bruising. The X-rays did not show any fracture. He is being called "day-to-day," Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. Contreras got hit in the hand by a Paul Skenes fastball in the fourth inning of Tuesday's […]


Shane McClanahan Throws a Full Intensity Bullpen Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays left-hander Shane McClanahan (triceps) threw a full-intensity bullpen session Tuesday, MLB.com reports. He is expected to throw at least one more time before either increasing his workload in the bullpen or progressing to facing live hitters in some capacity. The Rays reported that the session went well, but no further details were […]


Gabriel Arias Suffers Left-Ankle Sprain on Sunday

Cleveland Guardians infielder Gabriel Arias (ankle) was diagnosed with a left-ankle sprain after exiting in the third inning of Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Joe Noga of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Arias needed to be carted off the field when he sustained what looked to be a painful-looking ankle injury while diving for a […]


Zebby Matthews Throws a 20-Pitch Bullpen on Sunday

Minnesota Twins right-hander Zebby Matthews (shoulder) threw a 20-pitch bullpen session at Target Field on Sunday, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Matthews was diagnosed with a moderate subscapularis strain in his right shoulder on June 8 and has been on the injured list since. Matthews, a 25-year-old right-hander, is one of the Twins' top pitching […]
