3/10
Leahy (3.94 ERA, 5-3) will shift back in the STL rotation. The delay pushes the Cards' best current starter by xwOBA (0.382) out of this series against a Reds team struggling at -28 run differential.
7/10
Story was hitting .206/.249/.303 with a .249 xwOBA across 41 games, so his absence won't crater Boston's offense, but the Red Sox are already 8-14 at home and need depth at shortstop during a 22-27 season. Recovery timeline will determine if this impacts the remainder of the stretch.
3/10
Ross posted a 19.64 ERA in limited Triple-A work before release, offering depth relief for a Texas rotation where Gore (4.78 ERA) and Eovaldi (3.62 ERA) have struggled relative to deGrom's 3.02 ERA.
5/10
LAD (+98 run differential) and MIL (+75) are the division leaders, but STL sits 3rd at -5 run differential despite 28-21 record, while CIN (26-24, -28 diff) faces rotation volatility with Singer at 6.26 ERA and Paddack at 7.07 ERA.
4/10
SF adds outfield depth while sitting 20-30 with a -52 run differential, though Bericoto's role remains unclear without current season stats. The move comes as Jung Hoo Lee (0.314 xwOBA in 48G) hasn't solved the Giants' offensive struggles.
5/10
Harris II (.298 AVG, .395 OBP, .524 SLG, 11 HR in 48 G) has emerged as Atlanta's offensive engine with an xwOBA of 0.395, while Pittsburgh's +2 streak improves a team that sits 4-6 over its last 10 despite a +26 run differential.
4/10
Kyle Harrison (MIL) has posted a 1.77 ERA with a 0.275 xwOBA across 3 starts, though his minimal sample (15 SO in 3 GS) offers little predictive value in a rotation led by deeper starters as Milwaukee leads the NL Central at 29-18.
5/10
Shaw exits a Cubs team on an L5 streak with only a 2-8 record over their last 10 games. The loss adds another depth challenge to Chicago's lineup as they sit 2nd in NLC despite a +28 run differential.
3/10
Cubs are 2-8 over their last 10 games with Taillon posting a 4.97 ERA in the rotation, but Ramirez has no 2026 stats on record, making this a minor league depth consideration rather than an immediate solution.
3/10
Gonzalez arrives with no 2026 stats on record, representing a depth addition to Minnesota's RF rotation as the team sits 23-27 (-1 run differential) with limited offensive production (230 RS, 5th worst in AL Central).
5/10
Cole's status remains unclear in the database with no 2026 pitching stats listed, but he's scheduled to face Tampa Bay tonight. Valdez (DET) sits at 4.58 ERA over 10 starts—well below his typical standard—making his availability questionable for weekend action.
5/10
Guerrero returns to MLB for the first time since 2019 as Boston addresses rotation depth on a 22-27 team with a -11 run differential. Crawford's 60-day IL move suggests a significant arm issue for a Red Sox rotation already thin behind Suarez (2.40 ERA, 9 GS) and Gray (2.92 ERA, 5 GS).
5/10
Severino struck out 10 while allowing just three hits—a stark contrast to his season 5.10 BB/9 that's inflated his 4.45 ERA. The Angels remain 17-33 with a -68 run differential, the third-worst in MLB.
3/10
Agnos has no 2026 season stats on record, making this appearance a minor league callup or depth option contribution rather than a meaningful rotation development.
6/10
LAA's bullpen vulnerability compounds a -68 run differential (5th worst in MLB) on a team sitting 17-33 with a 2-8 record over its last 10 games. Yates' 4.91 ERA and lack of save stability forces uncertainty in late innings against a Rangers team starting deGrom.
