    • Kutter Crawford bounces back in loss to Phillies
      Kutter Crawford allowed four runs (two earned) on six hits over six innings in a loss to the Phillies on Tuesday.

      Advice: Crawford had allowed 15 earned runs in 16 1/3 innings in his last three starts, so giving up just two tonight is a huge step in the right direction. He also struck out eight and walked just one while posting a 28 percent whiff rate and a 36 percent CSW. Crawford was regularly in the zone with his fastball and cutter and posted four whiffs on seven swings with his splitter. It’s the kind of effort that should quiet some concerns about the 28-year-old, who will now take a 3.47 ERA into perhaps a tougher outing against the Yankees on Sunday. Rotoworld Tuesday, 6:54 pm

    • Zac Gallen (hamstring) throws bullpen on Tuesday
      Zac Gallen (hamstring) threw a 31-pitch bullpen session on Tuesday.

      Advice: It’s an encouraging development that Gallen has progressed to throwing side sessions after resuming throwing over the weekend without any issues. The 28-year-old workhorse landed on the injured list back in late May with a Grade 1 right hamstring strain and is expected to miss at least a few weeks. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo told reporters Gallen will throw another bullpen session on Friday and will likely need at least one or two simulated games before returning. Rotoworld Tuesday, 4:07 pm

    • Works off mound
      Gallen (hamstring) threw a bullpen session Tuesday, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

      Advice: Gallen began throwing off flat ground Saturday, and Tuesday marks the first time he's thrown off a mound since landing on the IL with a strained right hamstring. Manager Torey Lovullo said the 28-year-old righty is slated for another bullpen session Friday, after which he will likely progress to pitching sim games before returning to Arizona's rotation.

    • Notches seventh win
      Burnes (7-2) earned the win Monday against the Rays, allowing two unearned runs on five hits and one walk over seven innings. He struck out six.

      Advice: Burnes dazzled in the series finale, shutting down Tampa Bay to collect his ninth consecutive quality start and 11th overall. The only blemish on the 29-year-old's evening was a two-run homer yielded to Alex Jackson that drove in a pair of unearned runs. Overall, Burnes now sports a 2.08 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 82:22 K:BB in 86.2 innings while being tied for the league lead in quality starts. The Baltimore ace is currently scheduled to make his next start against the Phillies at home this weekend. Rotowire.com Monday, 6:36 pm
       
    • Corbin Burnes spins seven frames to defeat Rays
      Corbin Burnes was charged with a pair of unearned runs over seven innings on Monday in a win over the Rays.

      Advice: Burnes served up a two-run homer to light-hitting Rays backstop Alex Jackson in the second inning after a two-out error by second baseman Jordan Westburg allowed the frame to continue. He kept Tampa Bay’s lineup off the scoreboard otherwise into the late stages of the contest, outdueling opposing starter Ryan Pepiot in the process, to pick up his seventh win of the year. He finished with six strikeouts and only issued one walk. He’ll bring a stellar 2.08 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 82/22 K/BB ratio across 86 2/3 innings (14 starts) into a home outing on Saturday against the red-hot Phillies. Rotoworld Monday, 6:32 pm
       
    • Fires seven innings
      Kirby allowed a run on five hits over seven innings in a no-decision Sunday. He struck out four during the win over the Royals.

      Advice: The lone run to score on Kirby came via a sacrifice bunt in the fifth inning. After a shaky stretch in May, he's back to looking like his usual self recently; over his last three starts, Kirby has posted a 2.00 ERA and 21:1 K:BB. He was in line for the win after his seventh quality start of 2024 before the Royals tied up the game in the ninth inning. Kirby is now sporting a 3.81 ERA with a terrific 78:7 K:BB through 80.1 frames. His next start is lined up to be at home against the Rangers. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:32 pm

    • George Kibry strong for seven against Royals
      George Kirby pitched seven innings of one-run ball Sunday against the Royals.

      Advice: Kirby was in line for the win when he left, but a two-run lead was blown in the bottom of the ninth. Kirby has allowed a total of four runs in his last three starts, lowering his ERA from 4.33 to 3.81. He went without walking a batter today, and his K/BB stands at 78/7 through 80 1/3 innings.

    • Struggles in no-decision
      Ober escaped with a no-decision Sunday against Pittsburgh, allowing four earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five over 4.2 innings.

      Advice: Ober did not allow a home run for the first time since May 12, but his recent struggles continued. The right-hander yielded three extra-base hits Sunday and has now given up multiple earned runs in five consecutive starts. During that span, the 28-year-old has limped to a 7.61 ERA and a 1.76 WHIP in 23.2 innings. Ober will look to bounce back in his next start, currently scheduled for next weekend versus Oakland.

    • Bailey Ober hit around in no-decision against PIT
      Bailey Ober allowed four runs on seven hits in 4 2/3 innings in a no-decision against the Pirates on Sunday.

      Advice: This now marks five straight mediocre starts for Ober, who has allowed 20 earned runs in his last 23 1/3 innings over those five starts. It was easy to explain away Ober’s poor stats early in the season when he only had one bad start, but this has been a rough stretch. The tall right-hander saw his velocity up across his entire pitch mix today, and the Pirates certainly didn’t hit him overly hard, but he did allow seven hard-hit baseballs. There are no glaring red flags, and you have to keep Ober in your lineup for next week’s game against the Athletics. Rotoworld Sunday, 2:22 pm
