  • Kodai Senga SP | NYM

    Mets' Kodai Senga: Bound for injured list

    Manager Carlos Mendoza said Thursday that Senga was diagnosed with a right hamstring strain and will need to spend time on the injured list, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Senga's hamstring forced him to make an early exit from his start against Washington on Thursday after tossing 5.2 shutout innings. The Mets won't know more about the severity of his injury until he undergoes an MRI on Friday, but the team has already deemed his injury significant enough to warrant a stint on the IL. It's currently unknown who will take Senga's place in New York's rotation.

  • Wade Miley SP | CIN

    Reds' Wade Miley: Awarded another start

    Miley is slated to start Sunday's game against the Tigers at Comerica Park, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Miley made a two-inning relief appearance in his 2025 debut with the Reds back on June 4, but he's since moved into the Cincinnati rotation while Hunter Greene recovers from a right groin strain. The veteran southpaw was credited with a win in his first start Monday in Cleveland, but he gave up three earned runs on five hits and four walks over five innings. He'll make for a risky streaming option on the road versus a Detroit offense that has produced a collective 119 wRC+ versus left-handed pitching this season.

  • Mike Soroka SP | WAS

    Nationals' Michael Soroka: Falls to the Mets

    Soroka (3-4) took the loss Thursday against the Mets, allowing four runs on three hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out five.

    Soroka found himself in trouble early, issuing a pair of walks in the first inning before giving up a three-run homer to Jeff McNeil with two outs. Soroka would settle in, allowing just one additional run over his final four innings, but the Nats couldn't climb out of the early hole in an eventual 4-3 loss. The 27-year-old Soroka sports a 5.14 ERA despite posting a solid 1.12 WHIP and 40:10 K:BB through eight starts (42 innings) this season. He'll look to get back in the win column in his next start, currently slated for next week at home versus the Rockies.

  • Kodai Senga SP | NYM

    Mets' Kodai Senga: Exits with apparent leg injury

    Senga was removed from Thursday's start against the Nationals in the sixth inning with an apparent right leg injury, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Senga was covering first base and had to leap to grab a high throw from first baseman Pete Alonso. When he landed, he immediately grabbed at the back of his right leg and went down in a heap. Senga was able to walk off the field under his own power, but it looked to be a potentially significant leg injury. The Mets should have more on his status shortly. Senga had struck out five over 5.2 scoreless frames before exiting.

  • Bubba Chandler SP | PIT

    Pirates' Bubba Chandler: Can't find zone in very short start

    Chandler gave up one earned run on zero hits and four walks while recording just two outs in Wednesday's start for Triple-A Indianapolis.

    Chandler now has three four-walk starts in his past seven, logging a 3.81 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and 34:19 K:BB in 26 innings over that stretch. The young fireballer was dominant in his first six starts of the year (1.42 ERA, 0.67 WHIP, 36:7 K:BB in 25.1 IP), but it's possible he's trying too hard to force a promotion from Triple-A. Regardless, it doesn't seem like a promotion is imminent after he walked in a run and failed to complete the first inning Wednesday.

  • Austin Gomber SP | COL

    Rockies' Austin Gomber: In line for '25 debut Sunday

    The Rockies plan to activate Gomber (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list to have him start Sunday in Atlanta, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

    Colorado's decision to option No. 5 starter Carson Palmquist to Triple-A Albuquerque earlier Thursday seemed to signal that Gomber was on track to rejoin the rotation, and the 31-year-old has now been confirmed to make his 2025 debut with Colorado this weekend. After experiencing shoulder soreness in spring training, Gomber was expected to be in line for a brief absence to begin the season, but he had a setback coming out of a March 28 rehab outing with Albuquerque that extended his stay on the IL. He was cleared to resume his assignment earlier this month and has looked sharp in his starts with Double-A Hartford and Albuquerque, covering eight innings and striking out eight while allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits and three walks between those two outings. He tossed 69 pitches in his latest appearance Tuesday and should be ready to handle something close to a typical starter's workload Sunday.

  • Brewers' Brandon Woodruff: Shifted to 60-day injured list

    The Brewers transferred Woodruff (shoulder/elbow) to the 60-day injured list Thursday.

    The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Jacob Misiorowski, who has been called up to make his major-league debut Thursday. It does not change Woodruff's timetable, as he has already missed 60-plus days and recently had a setback on his rehab assignment when he was struck in the pitching elbow by a comebacker. Woodruff hasn't resumed throwing and will need a couple more rehab starts before being considered for the Brewers' rotation.

  • Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Added to roster ahead of debut

    The Brewers selected Misiorowski's contract from Triple-A Nashville on Thursday.

    Misiorowski is set to make his major-league debut Thursday with a start against the division-rival Cardinals. The 6-foot-7 right-hander earned a call-up after collecting a 2.13 ERA and 80:31 K:BB over 63.1 innings with Nashville. Misiorowski has dealt with control problems at times in the minors, but he has big strikeout upside and warrants rostership in virtually all fantasy formats.

  • Austin Gomber SP | COL

    Rockies' Austin Gomber: Excels in latest rehab start

    Gomber (shoulder) struck out five and allowed one unearned run on one hit and three walks in his rehab start with Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

    After resuming his rehab assignment June 4 with Double-A Hartford and tossing four innings of one-run ball, Gomber moved up a level for his second outing and delivered another sharp performance. He built up to 69 pitches in the start, and he looks like he could be ready to return from the 60-day injured list to make his 2025 debut with the Rockies as soon as this Sunday in Atlanta. Per MLB.com, Rockies interim manager Warren Schaeffer said the Rockies are still deciding on Gomber's next steps, but the veteran southpaw seems likely to rejoin the big club if he fares well in his between-starts bullpen session Friday.

  • Rockies' Carson Palmquist: Sent back to minors

    The Rockies optioned Palmquist to Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday.

    Palmquist struggled in his first five starts at the major-league level, collecting a 7.77 ERA and 16:13 K:BB across 22 innings of work. The left-hander's demotion to Albuquerque suggests that Austin Gomber (shoulder) could be ready to return from the 60-day injured list to take the hill the next time a fifth starter is needed Sunday in Atlanta.
