| News | ||
| Gray's next start comes at Yankee Stadium — his first appearance there since a December interview in which he spoke about how much he dislikes the Yankees. He carries a 3.06 ERA into that matchup after Saturday's outing against Cleveland. Bruno Mulé Sun, May 31st | Stephen Kolek allowed four earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out five over five innings in Friday's loss to the Rangers. Chase Davis Sat, May 30th | |
| Sonny Gray allowed three earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four over four innings in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Twins. Chris Schommer Mon, May 25th | Stephen Kolek allowed zero earned runs on four hits and one walk while striking out two over nine innings in Saturday's win over the Mariners. Chase Davis Sun, May 24th | |

Chris Schommer Tue, May 19th | Stephen Kolek allowed zero earned runs on four hits and one walk while striking out three over 6.1 innings in Sunday's win over the Cardinals. Chase Davis Mon, May 18th | |
| Sonny Gray allowed one earned run on two hits while also walking one and striking out six through six innings in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Phillies. Chris Schommer Thu, May 14th | Stephen Kolek battled his control and paid for it Tuesday against the White Sox. Jesse Garcia Wed, May 13th | |

| Notes | ||
| Sonny Gray was one of the only bright spots in the Cardinals' 2025 season. He started 32 games, threw 180 2/3 innings, and struck out 201 batters. His ERA was inflated at 4.28 with an expected of 3.90, but his FIP (3.39) suggests both of these numbers are high, and his xFIP is even lower at 3.06. Gray turns 36 this year, and projections have him profiled as more of an SP3 or SP4. Still, the move to Boston should give him more win equity, and he is worth consideration in the middle rounds.
