Mitch Bratt to start Saturday against Giants

Mitch Bratt

AZ Starting Pitcher #60

Player Stats

Mitch Bratt will serve as the 27th man for Saturday’s doubleheader against the Giants.

Bratt gets the ball for the nightcap of Saturday’s twin bill at Oracle Park. The 23-year-old rookie has compiled an underwhelming 4.54 ERA and 25/28 K/BB ratio across 39 2/3 innings for Arizona this season. He’s not a recommended fantasy option in this spot.

Mitch Bratt allowed three runs in 4 1/3 innings and took the loss against the Giants on Saturday.

Bratt gave up three hits, walked two and struck out two. He fell to 1-3 with the loss. Bratt had a 4.54 ERA entering play Saturday and didn’t fare well in the spot start against the Giants on the road. He allowed three runs and failed to complete five innings. As the 27th man for Saturday’s doubleheader, he’ll head back to the minors following the game.

Diamondbacks optioned LHP Mitch Bratt to Triple-A Reno.

Bratt heads back to the minors after allowing three runs over just three innings in his latest start against the Reds over the weekend. The 23-year-old rookie southpaw has posted a pedestrian 4.54 ERA and 25/28 K/BB ratio across 39 2/3 innings in his big-league debut.
Mitch Bratt

AZ Starting Pitcher #60

Mitch Bratt allowed three runs in three innings but did not qualify for a decision Sunday against the Reds.

Bratt looked like he was going to pick up a loss Sunday, but the Diamondbacks were able to score five unanswered to prevent that from happening. Another mediocre — at best — outing wasn’t prevented, however, and that’s the second straight outing that Bratt has gone three innings and given up as many runs. He has a friendly matchup on paper next weekend against the Giants, but he’s pretty hard to trust in redraft leagues right now.
Mitch Bratt

AZ Starting Pitcher #60

Mitch Bratt allowed three runs in three innings and took the loss against the Red Sox on Monday.

Bratt gave up four hits, walked three and struck out none. He fell to 1-2 with the loss. Bratt allowed two runs in the second inning and another in the third inning before he was lifted from the game. Then the fireworks really started for the Red Sox as Boston put up eight runs on the Arizona bullpen. Bratt has a 4.17 ERA. He’s lined up to face the Reds at home on Sunday.
Mitch Bratt

AZ Starting Pitcher #60

Mitch Bratt allowed two runs and struck out four batters over six innings in a no-decision against the Rockies on Tuesday.

Bratt held the Rockies scoreless through five innings until Kyle Karros got to him for a two-run homer in the sixth. Bratt would finish the inning and end his day after six frames with a quality start. He struck out four. The 23-year-old left-hander will carry a 3.74 ERA, 1.40 WHIP, and a 25/19 K/BB ratio across 33 2/3 innings into a start against the Red Sox in Boston on Monday.
Mitch Bratt

AZ Starting Pitcher #60

Mitch Bratt allowed one hit over seven scoreless innings and struck out nine in the Diamondbacks’ 10-4 rout of the Padres on Wednesday.

Kevin Ginkel lost the shutout bid in the ninth, but this was still a rout. It’s Bratt’s first major league victory. He was 0-1 with a 5.23 ERA and a 12/15 K/BB in five starts before this gem. We wouldn’t trust him based on this outing alone, but he does have an awfully favorable matchup Monday against the Rockies. The risk there in weekly leagues is that he’ll also probably face the Braves in Atlanta next Sunday.
Mitch Bratt

AZ Starting Pitcher #60

Mitch Bratt allowed one earned run over five innings while striking out two, picking up the no-decision on Friday against the Guardians.

Bratt turned in his best start of the season on Friday. Despite some shaky command that resulted in three walks, Bratt never allowed more than two baserunners in an inning, and the lone run he surrendered came in the first inning on an RBI single by Rhys Hoskins to bring home José Ramirez. Bratt has now pitched out of the fifth inning in back-to-back starts and is scheduled to make his next appearance on Wednesday against the Padres.
Mitch Bratt

AZ Starting Pitcher #60

Mitch Bratt allowed five runs with three strikeouts over five innings in a loss against the Nationals on Saturday.

Bratt started his day with two scoreless frames before the Nationals got to him in the third. He didn’t help himself with three walks in the inning as Washington brought four runs home on four hits. CJ Abrams added a run on a solo homer in the fifth inning. Bratt’s day would be done after five frames. He struck out three. The 23-year-old left-hander will take a 6.32 ERA, 1.98 WHIP, and a 10/11 K/BB ratio across 15 2/3 innings into a start against the Guardians in Cleveland on Friday.
Mitch Bratt

AZ Starting Pitcher #60

Mitch Bratt yielded two runs in 4 2/3 innings Monday in a no-decision against the A’s.

Bratt gave up eight hits, but only the solo homers from Joshua Kuroda-Grauer and Jacob Wilson mattered. He’s now made three starts for Arizona and allowed six runs in 10 2/3 innings. He’ll probably start again this weekend against the Nationals before having his rotation status revisited.
Mitch Bratt

AZ Starting Pitcher #60

Mitch Bratt gave up three runs in three innings in his emergency start Sunday against the Dodgers.

Bratt was called up after it was revealed Saturday that Zac Gallen was being scratched. He struck out none and walked three today, throwing just 29 of his 58 pitches for strikes. The Diamondbacks, though, wound up winning 5-3 anyway, as six relievers all pitched scoreless innings behind him. It’s unclear if Bratt will stick around and start the second half in the rotation or return to Triple-A.

Athletics’ manager Mark Kotsay told reporters on Friday that J.T. Ginn (elbow) is unlikely to return this season.

The 27-year-old right-hander has made very slow progress in his recovery from a right elbow impingement and with only a couple of weeks left, it sounds like the A’s may just shut him down completely. If he doesn’t get it addressed surgically over the winter, it’s possible that the issue could linger into the 2027 season.

Yankees’ manager Aaron Boone told reporters on Friday that right-hander Clarke Schmidt (elbow) will make one final minor league rehab start on Saturday.

As long as everything goes smoothly there, he’ll then be activated from the injured list. The expectation remains that Schmidt will work out of the Yankees’ bullpen down the stretch which greatly limits his appeal for fantasy purposes.

Alika Williams is not in the Athletics’ starting lineup for Friday night’s skirmish against the Mariners.

The 27-year-old has settled in as the team’s regular shortstop while Jacob Wilson has been sidelined, but he’ll get a breather in this one. Donovan Walton will slide over to cover short with Jeff McNeil manning second base and Tommy White starting at first base against Mariners’ right-hander George Kirby.

This move officially ends Lauer’s 2026 season. The 31-year-old southpaw landed on the injured list last week due to inflammation in his pitching elbow. Josue De Paula was promoted from Double-A Tulsa on Friday to take Lauer’s spot on the Dodgers’ 40-man roster.

Dodgers placed DH/P Shohei Ohtani on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to September 8, with right biceps inflammation.

Even with the backdated stint on the injured list, the earliest that the superstar slugger will be able to return is September 23. Dodgers’ top prospect Josue De Paula was promoted from Double-A Tulsa to take Ohtani’s place on the Dodgers’ active roster on Friday.

Padres recalled INF Mason McCoy from Triple-A El Paso.

With Ty France heading to the paternity list on Friday, McCoy will get his first opportunity at the MLB level this season. The 31-year-old infielder has hit .284/.359/.408 with 10 homers, 67 RBI and 37 stolen bases in 546 plate appearances at Triple-A El Paso this season. He’s unlikely to see enough action to gain relevancy from a fantasy perspective.

Gunnar Henderson (knee) rejoined the Orioles’ starting lineup for Friday’s series opener against the Blue Jays.

The 25-year-old shortstop was held out of Wednesday’s lineup due to left knee discomfort. He appears to be doing much better after Thursday’s off-day though and is back in there at shortstop and batting fifth for the O’s against Blue Jays’ righty Max Scherzer.
