Kopech allowed two runs on four hits and three walks over 5.1 innings in Sunday's win over Detroit. He struck out four and did not factor in the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Kopech got off to an ugly start Sunday; he walked Riley Greene on four pitches and then served up a two-run shot to Javier Baez before recording an out. After the early struggle, Kopech kept the Tigers off the board for the rest of his outing. He broke an ugly four-start losing streak in which he allowed 16 earned runs over 21 innings. The 26-year-old righty owns a 3.35 ERA with a 72:38 K:BB through 78 innings this season. Kopech is projected to start in Minnesota next week.

Kopech (2-6) took the loss during Tuesday's 8-2 defeat at the hands of the Twins, allowing six runs on eight hits and four walks with five strikeouts in 4.2 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Kopech escaped a bases-loaded jam in the first inning and fired a scoreless second, but it was all downhill from there. The 26-year-old went on to permit long balls in each of the next three frames and was stung with a season-high six earned runs while issuing four walks for the fourth time this season. Kopech has now lost four straight starts, though his season line still features an above average 3.34 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 68 strikeouts in 72.2 innings. He'll look to get back on track this weekend as he's set to oppose Detroit.

Kopech (2-5) took the loss against the Angels on Wednesday, allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits and two walks while striking out six batters over 5.1 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Kopech fell behind early, allowing two runs in the first inning -- including one that scored on his own error. He settled down to hold Los Angeles scoreless over the next four frames before serving up a two-run homer to Luis Rengifo in the sixth. That was more than enough for the Angels to claim victory on a night when Shohei Ohtani struck out 11 over 5.2 scoreless frames. Kopech has taken a loss in each of his past three starts, allowing 10 earned runs and posting a 12:7 K:BB over 16.1 innings during that stretch.

Kopech (2-3) allowed four runs on seven hits and a walk with four strikeouts in five innings, taking the loss Sunday versus the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Kopech didn't have to miss a turn in the rotation after leaving last Sunday's start with knee discomfort. He wasn't great in his return to game action, with three of the four runs he allowed coming on home runs -- a solo shot by J.J. Matijevic in the fourth inning and a two-run blast from Mauricio Dubon in the fifth. Kopech has allowed multiple runs in only four of his 12 starts this season. He has a strong 2.38 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 55:25 K:BB through 56.2 innings. Sunday's was a tough matchup for the 26-year-old, but he lines up for a more favorable home start versus the Orioles next weekend.

EDGE Analysis

Kopech left his previous start last Sunday with a knee issue after recording just two outs. He was quickly cleared of anything worse than discomfort, however, and he noted the next day that he felt much better after getting some fluid drained. He tested his knee in a bullpen session Thursday and evidently proved to the team that he was good to go without missing a turn in the rotation.

EDGE Analysis

Kopech sustained a knee injury Sunday against the Rangers but felt better Monday after getting fluid drained from his knee. He'll test his knee during Thursday's throwing session and tentatively lines up to start Sunday against Houston if he feels good after his bullpen.

Kopech is feeling "a lot better" Monday after getting fluid drained from behind his knee, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kopech left his start Sunday against the Rangers with right knee discomfort after recording just two outs, but he's yet to be placed on the injured list. He was cleared of structural damage following an MRI on Sunday, so if he continues to feel fine, he seemingly has a good chance to make his next start next weekend against the Astros.

Kopech (knee) underwent an MRI on Sunday that didn't reveal any structural damage, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kopech exited Sunday's start against the Rangers due to right knee discomfort and said after the game that he has some fluid built up and is feeling sore. While it's not yet clear whether the right-hander will need to miss any additional time, he hasn't been ruled out for his next turn through the rotation, and his injury doesn't appear to be a particularly serious concern. If Kopech is cleared to make his next start, he projects to take the mound on the road against Houston on Sunday.

Kopech left Sunday's start against the Rangers with right knee discomfort, 670 The Score reports.

EDGE Analysis

He recorded only two outs before exiting, and it's unclear how much more time he will miss. Reynaldo Lopez came in to relieve Kopech, and Davis Martin could be an option to come back up from Triple-A to replace Kopech in the rotation if necessary.

Kopech exited Sunday's start against the Rangers with an apparent injury, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kopech winced after throwing a pitch to Adolis Garcia in the first inning and exited after a discussion with team trainers. The exact nature and severity of his injury are not yet clear. Reynaldo Lopez replaced him out of the bullpen and could be a candidate to step into the rotation if Kopech is forced to miss an extended period.
