Tuesday SP Roundup: Paez Clouds Debut, Aces Shine Across the Pitching Slate

Jedixson Paez’s MLB debut was rough (3.2 IP, 8 ER) as Boston’s rookie struggled with his pitch mix, but the rest of the Tuesday slate offered a mix of strong performances (Gavin Williams, Jesús Luzardo, Freddy Peralta, Bryan Woo, Nick Lodolo) and notable command/workload concerns (MacKenzie Gore, Paul Skenes, Logan Webb, AJ Smith‑Shawver). Analysts note streaming decisions are better left to the daily SP Matchups/Streamer Rankings piece, with Game of the Day Cam Schlittler vs. Reid Detmers highlighted as a marquee matchup.

Padres lean on deadline starter and bullpen depth to chase a postseason push

With the trade deadline looming, the Padres plan to add a starting pitcher and won’t trade Mason Miller or Adrian Morejón, signaling a push for the 2026 postseason. They’ve reshuffled the rotation against the Diamondbacks, leaned on multi-inning bullpen outings, and are counting on the returns of Musgrove and Pivetta to stabilize the staff as JP Sears and Morejón deliver key performances in a critical stretch.

Cubs land Kevin Gausman from Blue Jays as deadline rental

Cubs land Kevin Gausman from Blue Jays as deadline rental

The Chicago Cubs acquired right-hander Kevin Gausman from the Toronto Blue Jays as a deadline rental, taking on a bit over $7 million of Gausman’s $23 million salary for this season in exchange for a package that reportedly includes Cubs prospects Ty Southisene and Brett Bateman (MLB Pipeline ranking No. 13 and No. 21 in the system). Gausman sports a 4.38 ERA and 1.288 WHIP across 23 starts (127.1 innings) this year, and with about 50 games remaining, Chicago projects roughly 10 starts from him. His first Cubs outing could come against his former club in a makeup game at Wrigley. This deal follows the similarly cash-intensive Taillon exchange with Toronto announced earlier today.

Blue Jays land Taillon to shore up rotation after Cubs DFA

Blue Jays land Taillon to shore up rotation after Cubs DFA

The Toronto Blue Jays acquired Jameson Taillon from the Chicago Cubs to bolster their rotation, adding a veteran right-hander after the Cubs designated him for assignment. Toronto will clear a 40-man spot by moving Lenyn Sosa to the 60-day injured list and will send cash considerations or a player to be named later back to Chicago. Taillon, 34, signed a four-year, $68 million deal with the Cubs in 2023 and had been a solid innings eater early in that contract, but he was tagged with a 5.92 ERA in 2026 as his home run issues spiked, contributing to the DFA. The move signals the Jays’ intent to add pitching depth for the stretch run, potentially absorbing innings as they navigate their rotation ahead of upcoming trades.

Reds Weigh Deadline Move as Hunter Greene Draws Heavy Trade Interest

Reds Weigh Deadline Move as Hunter Greene Draws Heavy Trade Interest

In a seller-friendly move, the Reds have reportedly told teams Hunter Greene is no longer available, signaling a possible deadline trade despite ongoing interest from multiple clubs. Greene’s high strikeout upside and affordable contract make him an attractive, controllable starter, though health and workload concerns linger. While several outlets have floated real trade chatter, any deal will hinge on the Reds receiving MLB-ready talent in return, with Elly De La Cruz among potential assets; if no compelling package emerges, Cincinnati could opt to keep Greene to solidify a rotation built around Burns and Abbott.

Holmes Trade Market Heats Up as Contenders Circle Mets Right-Hander

Mets right-hander Clay Holmes, healthy after a fractured fibula, has drawn a robust trade market with scouts from the Dodgers, White Sox, Rays, Phillies and others at a rehab start. Contenders have already shown interest in a pitcher who is under contract for $13 million this season with a $12 million option for 2027, and extensions appear unlikely as talks stall. With the deadline looming and several teams seeking pitching depth, Holmes has become one of the top starting-pitcher targets, with Brewers among other possible fits as interest continues to spread.

Reds Lock Up Chase Burns on 7-Year, $105M Extension Through 2033

Reds Lock Up Chase Burns on 7-Year, $105M Extension Through 2033

The Reds agreed to a seven-year, $105 million extension for right-hander Chase Burns, starting next season and running through 2033, adding two years of club control. At 23, Burns has broken out with a 2.54 ERA across 18 starts (102 2/3 IP), 28.6% strikeouts and 9% walks, powered by a 97.8 mph fastball and a 90.5 mph slider with a light-changeup. Left-handed hitters have produced a .214/.307/.409 line with 10 of his 12 homers allowed coming against lefties, while right-handers are at .195/.230/.286. The deal is the largest ever for a pitcher with under four years of service and cements Burns as a rotation cornerstone alongside Hunter Greene, even as the Reds sit nine games under .500 and eye potential further moves for controllable arms.
