Narrowly misses quality start Baz didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Astros after allowing three runs on seven hits and no walks in 5.2 innings. He struck out three.

Impact Baz got just four whiffs, but he did come just one out short of what could've been his first quality start since April 25. Although it was the first time the right-hander didn't issue a walk in his last eight starts, Baz still owns a rough 7.26 ERA, 1.74 WHIP and 19:13 K:BB over his last six outings (31 innings). After posting a 2.45 ERA through his first five appearances in 2025, Baz should have a prime opportunity to get back on track his next time out versus a Rangers team that has a miserable .602 OPS in the month of May.

Earns fourth win Baz (4-3) came away with the win against the Blue Jays on Saturday, allowing one run on four hits and three walks while striking out four across 5.2 innings.

Impact Baz was able to work out of a bases-loaded jam in the second inning and kept the Blue Jays off the board through the first five frames of Saturday's game. His lone blemish came in the sixth when he yielded a solo home run to Vladimir Guerrero, and Baz was taken out of the game before recording the final out of the frame for what would have been his fifth quality start of the season. Still, the 25-year-old right-hander got enough support from the bullpen to earn his first win since April 25 against the Padres. He'll take a 4.94 ERA and 1.39 WHIP (across 54.2 innings) into his next start, tentatively slated for next week on the road against the Astros.

Coughs up five runs in loss Baz (3-3) took the loss Sunday at Miami, allowing five runs on nine hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out two.

Impact Despite generating a solid 13 whiffs out of 96 total pitches, Baz fanned just two batters. This outing continues a tough stretch for the Tampa Bay right-hander, as he's conceded 21 runs on 30 hits across his last 19.2 innings (9.61 ERA). Through 49 total innings, Baz sports an unsightly 5.33 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 48:19 K:BB. He looks to right the ship in his next start, which currently lines up to be against the Blue Jays at home next weekend.

Gives up pair of homers Baz allowed three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out six in 4.2 innings Tuesday against the Blue Jays. He did not factor into the decision.

Impact Baz jumped out to a great start by retiring seven in a row while picking up four strikeouts. His second time through the order wasn't as successful, as Bo Bichette and Daulton Varsho took him deep in the third and fourth frames. Baz failed to make it to five innings for a second straight outing and has struggled after a really strong beginning to the season. Over his last five starts Baz owns a 7.88 ERA, 1.71 WHIP and 19:12 K:BB in his last five starts. He'll aim to bounce back in a road matchup versus the Marlins this weekend.

Struggles again in second loss Baz (3-2) took the loss Wednesday against the Phillies after allowing six runs on eight hits and two walks in 3.1 innings. He struck out three.

Impact After giving up a season-high seven runs on nine hits in his last start, Baz struggled mightily once again. Wednesday matched his shortest outing of the season, and the right-hander has now yielded five runs or greater in three of his last four appearances. During this stretch, Baz has a 8.38 ERA and 13:10 K:BB over 19.1 innings. He'll look to get back on track in his next scheduled start against the Blue Jays, who have a weak .643 OPS against right-handed pitching through 35 games.

Takes first loss Baz (3-1) took the loss Thursday against the Royals, allowing seven runs on nine hits and three walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out one.

Impact Baz managed to work around traffic to keep the Royals off the board in his first three innings. He'd eventually give up a run in the fourth before Kansas City exploded for six runs over Baz's final 2.2 frames. The right-hander has been excellent in four of his six starts this year, allowing just three runs in 26 innings. However, he's now given up 12 runs across nine frames in his other two outings. Overall, Baz sports a 3.86 ERA with a 1.17 WHIP and 37:12 K:BB this season. He'll look to rebound in his next start, currently scheduled for next week against the Phillies.
