Guardians' Parker Messick: Goes three innings
Messick allowed a run on six hits and a walk while striking out two over three innings in a no-decision versus the Royals on Sunday.
Messick's start was a shorter one, as expected, since the Guardians had nothing to play for in the regular-season finale. This outing will function to keep him on a normal schedule heading into the playoffs, where he's expected to get a start in the ALDS. Messick allowed no more than three runs in any of his last 15 starts of the season, providing excellent consistency. He ends the regular season with a 12-9 record, 2.56 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 193:49 K:BB over 186.1 innings through 32 starts.

Guardians' Parker Messick: Will start Sunday vs. Kansas City
Messick will be the Guardians' starter for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Royals, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
The Guardians secured the AL Central division Saturday -- and the No. 2 seed in the AL playoffs -- following their win over Kansas City and the White Sox's loss to the Rockies. Still, the Guardians will have Messick toe the rubber Sunday, though it will likely be an abbreviated outing for the 25-year-old southpaw.

Guardians' Parker Messick: No-decision against Boston
Messick did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Red Sox, allowing one run on five hits and one walk while striking out five over five innings.
Tuesday's pitchers' duel featured two candidates in the American League Rookie of the Year race in Messick and Payton Tolle. Messick got the better of Tolle, with the former allowing only one run on an RBI groundout in the second inning. Messick was in line for his 13th win of the season before the Red Sox tied things up at 2-2 in the eighth on a solo homer by Mickey Gasper. Messick is currently slated to make one final start in the regular season this weekend against the Royals, though the 25-year-old southpaw may not pitch depending on the Guardians' playoff situation. If Tuesday's outing at Fenway Park was Messick's last of the regular season, he'll finish with a 12-9 record across 31 starts with a 2.55 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 191:48 K:BB over 183.1 innings.

Guardians' Parker Messick: Secures 12th win
Messick (12-9) picked up the win Wednesday, giving up three runs on seven hits over six innings in a 6-3 win over the White Sox. He struck out eight without walking a batter.
The southpaw fired 62 of 86 pitches for strikes in an impressive outing that helped Cleveland claim first place in the AL Central for the first time since July 4. The quality start was Messick's 14th of the season, and he hasn't been tagged for more than three runs in an outing since June 29, posting a 2.21 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 80:18 K:BB in 77.1 innings over that span. He's set to make what will likely be his final start of the regular season on the road next week in Boston.

Guardians' Parker Messick: Limits Twins to one run
Messick didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Twins after allowing one run on three hits and two walks while striking out five over 5.1 innings.
Messick kept Minnesota quiet outside of the second inning, when Kody Clemens singled and Royce Lewis followed with an RBI double to open the scoring. The left-handed Messick allowed only one additional hit before departing with one out in the sixth, keeping Cleveland within a run until its offense eventually broke through. Messick owns a 2.51 ERA after the strong outing, though he was denied his 12th victory of the season. In 10 starts since the Midsummer Classic, Messick has a 2.09 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 68:11 K:BB across 60.1 innings. He's scheduled to make his next start at home against the White Sox in a matchup with plenty of playoff implications next week.

Guardians' Parker Messick: Strikes out 12 in loss
Messick (11-9) took the loss against the Tigers on Saturday, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks with 12 strikeouts over six innings.
The 25-year-old generated 19 whiffs on 103 pitches and tallied a career-high 12 strikeouts but was unable to solve Riley Greene, who homered twice and laced an RBI single off the southpaw. Despite the loss, Messick has now delivered a quality start in six of his nine outings since the All-Star break, posting a 2.13 ERA in that span. He'll take a 2.53 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 173:45 K:BB across 167 innings this season into a road matchup with the Twins next weekend.

Guardians' Parker Messick: Coasts to 11th win
Messick (11-8) earned the win against the Royals on Sunday, allowing one run on five hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out five.
After conceding a run in the opening inning, Messick cruised his way to victory on a day when the Guardians erupted for nine runs through four innings. The left-hander continues to deal on the hill, tossing at least five innings while giving up two runs or fewer in 10 consecutive starts since the beginning of July. He'll look to further improve upon an already excellent 2.46 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 161:43 K:BB over 161 innings in his next scheduled outing against Detroit.

Guardians' Parker Messick: Cruises to 10th victory
Messick (10-8) earned the win over the Angels on Monday, allowing one run on three hits and one walk while striking out four batters over six innings.
Messick was perfect for three innings, but the Angels got to him for a run on three singles in the fourth. Those ended up being the only hits the left-hander allowed, and he faced the minimum the rest of the way. Messick didn't have his swing-and-miss stuff working -- the four punchouts were his fewest since he notched just one strikeout against Miami on July 10 -- but he nonetheless recorded his second straight quality start and his 11th overall this season. He's been one of the AL's most effective starters in 2026 with a 2.50 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 156:41 K:BB over 155 innings spanning 26 starts.

Guardians' Parker Messick: Strikes out 10 in loss
Messick (9-8) took the loss against the Giants on Wednesday, allowing one run on six hits and no walks with 10 strikeouts over 6.2 innings.
Messick suffered a tough-luck loss, throwing 72 of 98 pitches for strikes while piling up 19 whiffs. The southpaw has now yielded two earned runs or fewer in eight straight outings, but he only has two wins to show for it. He'll carry a stellar 2.54 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 152:40 K:BB across 149 innings this season into a road matchup with the Angels next week.
