    Gage Jump allowed two runs with 11 strikeouts over six innings in a win over the Red Sox on Saturday.

    The Red Sox put a pair of runs on the board in the opening frame, scoring two on a single, walk, double steal, and a base hit. Jump then settled in nicely, pitching five more scoreless innings while collecting an impressive 11 strikeouts for his first career double-digit strikeout performance. The 23-year-old left-hander will take a 4.46 ERA, 1.46 WHIP, and an 84/33 K/BB ratio across 72 2/3 innings into a start against the Rangers in Sacramento on Friday.
Culpepper will be viable in fantasy 'right away'
James Schiano looks at what fantasy managers can expect from Kaelen Culpepper, the "slick-fielding" shortstop who is capable of making a fantasy impact in his debut and beyond.

    Jump walked a career-high six batters, but it didn’t hurt him severely until the fourth inning. After issuing a pair of one-out walks, he gave up a two-run single to Gleyber Torres. He walked another batter before being pulled for Elvis Alvarado, who served up a two-run double to close the book on Jump’s afternoon. The rookie southpaw has walked 14 batters in 14 1/3 innings over his last three starts, so he’s much too erratic to trust in mixed fantasy leagues. He’ll get the Red Sox on the road next time out.

    Jump dominated the Red Sox in Sacramento on Tuesday, holding Boston scoreless over six innings. He scattered three hits and stranded four walks, striking out seven on 90 pitches. The 23-year-old left-hander will look to build on the strong outing when he takes a 4.00 ERA, 1.40 WHIP, and a 68/25 K/BB ratio across 63 innings into a start against the Tigers in Sacramento on Sunday.
  • ATH Starting Pitcher
    Jump has lost five straight starts, giving up 20 runs and seven homers over 21 2/3 innings in the process. He’s still missing plenty of bats, but not enough to make up for the homers and walks. The A’s don’t have any great options to replace him, but they still might want to send him down to regain some confidence anyway. If not, he’ll face Boston next week.
  • ATH Starting Pitcher
    Jump was perfect through two before a walk and three hits produced a three-run third inning. In the fourth, he walked a batter with one out and gave up an RBI double with two outs, resulting in his removal after 87 pitches. It his fourth consecutive loss, leaving him 3-5 with a 3.78 ERA since his callup. He remains one of the game’s most intriguing young pitchers, but in a really tough situation with the A’s, he’s probably just a streaming play at the moment. He’ll likely pitch in Arizona on Wednesday.
  • ATH Starting Pitcher
    The A’s will set their rotation to start the second half as Jump on Friday, J.T. Ginn on Saturday, and Jacob Lopez on Sunday in their three-game set against the Nationals. Jump, 3-4 with a 3.51 ERA, struggled a bit towards the beginning of July but bounced back against the White Sox. He’s definitely a viable mixed-league starter when he’s not pitching at home.
  • ATH Starting Pitcher
    It was a nice rebound outing for Jump, but with the A’s getting shut out, he dropped his third start in a row anyway. While Jump was roughed up in his previous two outings, this makes five times in nine major league starts that he has allowed one or no runs. He’ll take a 3-4 record and a 3.51 ERA into the All-Star break. It’s likely that he’ll face the Nationals next weekend.
  • ATH Starting Pitcher
    Jump was bad from, well, the jump; allowing a homer in the first and two more runs in the second. He gave up three more in the third, and to say he didn’t match the effort of Eury Pérez — who threw seven perfect innings — is quite the understatement. Jump has struggled in his last two outings while allowing 11 runs, and will try and rebound from those disappointing efforts against the White Sox in Chicago this weekend.
  • ATH Starting Pitcher
    This was still kind of impressive from Jump. One of baseball’s best offenses certainly got the better of the 23-year-old, but while free passes could have turned this into a true massacre, he didn’t walk anyone and struck out five. Jump is still 3-2 with a 2.93 ERA and a 40/10 K/BB over 40 innings through seven big-league starts. As tough as the situation is in Sacramento, he’s not a lock to remain useful in mixed leagues over the rest of the season. However, he seems well on his way to becoming an excellent major league starting pitcher. He’ll get the Marlins on Sunday.
  • ATH Starting Pitcher
    It might seem like the A’s have a quality offense this year, but it’s largely a product of their Triple-A ballpark; they came into tonight hitting .266/.351/.462 with 216 runs scored at home and .229/304/.367 with 149 runs scored on the road. Jump would appear to be legit with his 96-mph fastball and plus slider, but with no support in San Francisco tonight, he remained 3-1 with a 2.04 ERA through six starts. He’ll pitch at home against the Dodgers next week. making him a weak play in shallow leagues.
  • ATH Starting Pitcher
    Jump was getting a battle at the end of his outing, throwing eight pitches to Denzer Guzman with two outs in the seventh. However, the last of those saw Vaughn Grissom wander too far off first on a ball in the dirt and get picked off by Shea Langeliers. Jump threw 107 pitches, an unusually high total for a rookie hurler in the year 2026, but he was in control from start to finish, striking out a new high of seven batters in his fifth major league start. He’s allowed a total of four runs in his four starts this month, with three of those coming in Las Vegas last week. He should be just fine to use in San Francisco next week.

    Chris Cotillo of Mass Live reports that the Red Sox will select the contract of Seth Martinez before Sunday’s game against the Athletics.

    Cotillo reports that Martinez will be up to take Raymond Burgos’ spot on the staff. Martinez was signed to a non-roster invite prior to the season, and the 31-year-old will get a chance to make his season debut if/when he gets into a game. Obviously, there’s no fantasy ramifications here.

    Robert Gasser allowed three runs in 4 2/3 innings and got a no-decision in the Brewers’ 4-3 victory over the Twins on Saturday.

Gasser allowed two runners on, but got the next two batters out. Then he hit Austin Martin to load the bases, his second hit batter of the inning.

He’s lined up to face the Dodgers on the road next weekend.

    Angel Genao went 2-for-3 with a homer, but the Guardians fell 6-3 to the White Sox on Saturday.

    Genao has impressed since being called up Wednesday, and while it comes in a losing effort, the 22-year-old was able to collect his first MLB homer with a solo homer off Jordan Hicks in the seventh inning. It’s a small sample, but one that contains a slash of .438/.471/.625. Obviously that’s not sustainable, but it’s a pretty good indicator of the talent that Genao possesses. The question will be how he’ll adjust when the league does the same.

    Munetaka Murakami hit a solo homer in a win for the White Sox on Saturday over the Guardians.

    Murakami also drew a walk. The 26-year-old has gone deep 26 times in his first taste of MLB action, and the two-reach game improves his slash to .237/.370/.540. That average seems to be as good as it can get for Murakami because of his immense swing-and-miss issues, but if he gets on at this kind of clip with this kind of power, it’s worth it.

    Max Clark went 2-for-5 with a triple, a run scored and two RBI against the Giants on Saturday.

    Clark’s first hit was a fly ball to left field that left his bat at 82.9 mph in the second inning. Even with the bases-loaded and only one out, the Tigers didn’t score. In the seventh inning, Clark roped a fly ball to centerfield and wound up on third easily with his speed. The 21-year-old outfielder is far from a finished product, but Clark has reached base safely in all eight major league games he’s played so far. He also made a great catch on a sharp fly ball off the bat of Drew Gilbert in the second inning. Clark is hitting .333 with a .966 OPS and six RBI so far.

    Jac Caglinanone finished with two homers and two doubles in powering the Royals past the Cubs 6-4 on Saturday.

    It’s Caglianone’s fifth career two-homer game and second with two doubles and, obviously, his first with two of both. Rather surprisingly, he’s the first player this year with four extra-base hits in a game. 13 players did it last year, with Nick Kurtz even managing five in his four-homer game. Caglianone, though, is the first Royal with four extra-base hits in a game since Kendrys Morales in 2015. Caglianone’s hits ranged from 104.9 mph to 111.9 mph. He now has 20 homers and 21 doubles in the season.
