Braves @ Yankees
At Yankee Stadium
RHP
0-1, 7.27 ERA, 23 SO
Toussaint's curveball was working as he recorded a career-high nine strikeouts over 6 2/3 innings against the Blue Jays on Thursday. The right-hander will attempt to build on that career-best start as he fills the rotation spot of Mike Foltynewicz, who was designated for assignment on July 28.
LHP
2-1, 5.17 ERA, 10 SO
Montgomery was strong in his first start of the year, holding the Red Sox to a run over 5 2/3 innings, but he struggled last time out against the Phillies. Montgomery battled with an inconsistent changeup and said he didn’t have his curveball as the Phils knocked him for five runs and six hits over four innings.

Nationals @ Mets
At Citi Field
RHP
1-1, 2.75 ERA, 29 SO
Scherzer left his last start on Wednesday after just one inning because of a tweaked right hamstring. He was not concerned about the ailment and will not miss a turn in the rotation.
RHP
1-2, 5.68 ERA, 15 SO
Aided by strong defense, Porcello produced seven quality innings last time out. The Mets could continue starting their better defenders behind Porcello, given his propensity to induce contact.

Rays @ Red Sox
At Fenway Park
RHP
0-0, 2.25 ERA, 3 SO
Kittredge, who recorded the save in Monday's game, will serve as the opener on Tuesday. Kittredge is 0-1 with a 5.68 in 10 career starts, all serving as the opener. Jalen Beeks could be an option to provide bulk innings behind Kittredge.
LHP
2-2, 3.38 ERA, 16 SO

At Miller Park
RHP

D-backs @ Rockies
At Coors Field
RHP
0-0, 2.74 ERA, 28 SO
Gallen once again turned in a quality outing last time out against the Astros, allowing two runs on six hits over six innings. Gallen has one career start at Coors Field in which he allowed two runs in four innings on Aug. 13, 2019.
LHP
2-0, 2.45 ERA, 13 SO
Freeland will be fueled by how his last start ended. Scoreless through 6 2/3 against the Giants, two were on and manager Bud Black kept him in. He yielded a first-pitch Mauricio Dubón homer, which ended his chance at a win.

Padres @ Dodgers
At Dodger Stadium
RHP
1-1, 3.74 ERA, 19 SO
Richards was off to a fast start before his shaky outing against the Dodgers on Wednesday. He doesn't have to wait long for his rematch. Even though he allowed four runs over five innings, Richards still owns a 2.55 ERA in seven outings against L.A.
RHP
3-1, 3.97 ERA, 20 SO
Stripling again got into the sixth inning last time out against San Diego, but he wasn't as sharp as he was in his first two starts, giving up three extra-base hits, including a home run to Fernando Tatis Jr. His new changeup is a work in progress.

Athletics @ Angels
At Angel Stadium
RHP
1-1, 6.86 ERA, 7 SO

RHP
3-1, 1.57 ERA, 35 SO
