Shaky control Friday Rocker allowed three runs on four hits, five walks and a hit batsman while striking out three over five innings in a no-decision versus the Athletics on Friday.

Impact Rocker threw just 47 of 94 pitches for strikes while setting a new season high in walks. He's giving up too many baserunners in August -- he's allowed 21 hits and nine walks over 13.1 innings over his last three outings, leading to 12 runs. Rocker is now at a 4.50 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 106:47 K:BB through 116 innings over 23 games (21 starts). He is projected to make his next start at home versus the Nationals, which is a matchup fantasy managers will likely want to avoid.

Hit hard in loss to Orioles Rocker (4-9) took the loss Sunday against the Orioles, allowing six runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five over three innings.

Impact Rocker was in trouble from the outset, surrendering four hits and two runs in the first inning before Colton Cowser and Pete Alonso homered in the second. In the fourth, Rocker walked the leadoff batter, prompting his exit. Sunday was his shortest start since lasting two innings against Detroit on May 2. It marked the right-hander's third outing this season allowing at least six earned runs. Rocker now owns a 4.46 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 103:42 K:BB across 111 innings and will look to rebound in his next scheduled start Friday against the Athletics.

Allows 10 hits in no-decision Rocker did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Astros, allowing three runs on 10 hits and two walks while striking out five over 5.1 innings.

Impact Rocker threw 59 of his 88 pitches for strikes and generated 15 whiffs despite allowing a season-high 10 hits. The biggest blow came in the fourth inning, when Jeremy Pena launched a two-run homer. The right-hander has now issued multiple walks in all four of his starts since the All-Star break, posting a 4.56 ERA during that stretch. For the season, Rocker owns a 4.08 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 98:40 K:BB across 108 innings. His next start is scheduled for Saturday against the Orioles.

Secures fourth win of 2026 Rocker (4-8) earned the win against the Mariners on Monday, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out seven across 6.2 innings.

Impact Rocker has tossed quality starts in back-to-back outings, with his only blemishes Monday being a Randy Arozarena solo homer in the second inning and a Julio Rodriguez sacrifice fly in the third. Rocker induced 14 whiffs on 88 pitches (57 strikes), and it was the third time this season that he registered at least seven strikeouts. He'll take a 4.03 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 93:38 K:BB across 102.2 innings into his next start, which is lined up for this weekend on the road against the Astros.

Allows one hit across six innings Rocker (3-8) earned the win Tuesday against the White Sox, allowing one hit and two walks while striking out six over six scoreless innings.

Impact After surrendering seven runs with three long balls in his final start before the All-Star break, Rocker bounced back in dominant fashion Tuesday. He threw 50 of his 75 pitches for strikes, generated 12 whiffs and retired 15 of 16 batters during one stretch. The outing marked his fourth scoreless start of at least six innings this season, as he's shown flashes of upside despite an inconsistent campaign that saw him post a 4.40 ERA and 1.37 WHIP in the first half. Rocker is lined up to make his next start at home against the Mariners.

Rocked for seven runs in loss Rocker (2-8) took the loss against Houston on Saturday, allowing seven runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out six batters over 5.2 innings.

Impact Rocker gave up the seven runs on a trio of homers, including a grand slam off the bat of Lamonte Wade. That was out of character for the right-hander this season, as he entered Saturday with a 1.0 HR/9 and having yielded no more than two long balls in any outing. The seven earned runs and eight hits allowed were also season-worst marks for Rocker, who has had a very up-and-down campaign. He heads into the All-Star break with a 4.40 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 80:34 K:BB over 90 innings spanning 18 appearances (16 starts).

Takes loss vs. Tigers Rocker (2-7) took the loss Sunday against the Tigers, allowing three runs on five hits and one walk while striking out four over 4.1 innings.

Impact Most of Rocker's damage came on one swing, as he served up a two-run homer against Riley Greene in the fourth inning. He returned for the fifth, but after allowing a single he was lifted in favor of Robby Ahlstrom, who let Detroit break the game open with four runs in the inning. It was Rocker's shortest outing since May 8. He now owns a 3.95 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 74:32 K:BB across 84.1 innings and is scheduled to face the Astros at home in his next start.
