The 12 strikeouts matched his career high, but Misiorowski has no 2026 season stats in the database, making his performance trajectory unclear. Milwaukee (30-20, +67 run diff) won despite dropping 2 straight, relying on a bullpen that will need durability if the starter workload spikes.

Nationals Acquire Carson Palmquist From Rockies

Palmquist arrives with no 2026 stats available, optioned immediately to Triple-A. The move coincides with Kranick's 60-day IL placement, leaving Washington's rotation anchored by Griffin (3.63 ERA, 6-2) and Cavalli (3.86 ERA, 2-3) while Irvin, Littell, and Mikolas combine for a 3-10 record and 5.41 ERA.

Soto has played only 8 games this season with a .416 xwOBA, yet the Mets remain 22-31 and -21 in run differential—his absence compounds an offense averaging 3.9 RS/G. The timing is poor with Cincinnati's Lodolo (likely strong starter based on context) on the mound tonight.

Schneider departs with a .127 AVG and .211 SLG across limited action, clearing roster space for Lukes' return from the IL. Toronto (25-28, -6 run diff) continues shuffling depth pieces while the rotation anchored by Cease (3.05 ERA, 92 SO) and Gausman (3.23 ERA) faces Miami tonight.

Sabrowski has no current season stats available, making his impact unclear; Heuer replaces him with a 3.38 ERA and 0.224 xwOBA in limited work. CLE's rotation is anchored by Williams (3.25 ERA, 7-3) but Bibee (3.75 ERA, 0-6) remains winless despite league-average underlying metrics.

2026 MLB Power Rankings: Atlanta Holds Top Spot

Braves' +102 run differential leads MLB despite dropping 2 straight; Sale (1.89 ERA, 72 SO in 10 starts) and Elder (1.97 ERA) anchor a rotation where López remains underutilized at 4 starts with a 3.62 ERA.

6/10

Cubs extend losing streak to 8 games despite +20 run differential

Chicago has scored 253 runs but allowed 233, yet sits 2-8 over last 10 games—a collapse driven by pitching inconsistency across the rotation, where Taillon (5.21 ERA, 0.356 xwOBA) and Rea (4.83 ERA, 0.355 xwOBA) have deteriorated sharply. The Twins simultaneously swept Boston behind Bradley (2.77 ERA, 5-1) and Ryan (3.02 ERA, 0.271 xwOBA), with Minnesota now 7-3 in last 10 despite a +4 run differential.

5/10

Mets swept in 'devastating fashion' with Peterson still winless

New York's rotation has allowed 227 runs across 53 games (4.28 RA/9) while Peterson remains 0-4 with a 5.03 ERA and 0.332 xwOBA over five starts. The Mets are 4-6 in their last 10 and sit 11 games below .500 away from home (11-18).

Los Angeles is -62 in run differential (worst in MLB) but has won three straight—a variance that won't sustain with Detmers (4.57 ERA, 1.14 WHIP) anchoring a rotation where Soriano (2.44 ERA, 6-3) remains the only reliable arm.

5/10
