The 24-year-old right-hander also issued four free passes on the night while striking out two. The Tigers pushed two runs across on a two-run triple by Spencer Torkelson in the second inning, then added on four more while chasing Chandler in the third inning — the final two scampering home on a wild pitch that struck out Spencer Torkelson with the bases loaded. Chandler got eight whiffs on 77 pitches on the night, registering a CSW of 26 percent. He finishes the season with a disappointing 8-10 record, 4.62 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and a 140/80 K/BB ratio across 154 innings of work.

Chandler gave up eight hits, walked one and struck out six. He had won his last two starts, but failed to even complete five innings against the Royals Saturday. Chandler has a 4.34 ERA overall, but a 3.63 ERA in 11 starts since the All-Star break. He’s lined up to face the Tigers on the road next weekend.

Chandler allowed five hits, including a two-run homer, and walked four, but thanks to a couple of double plays, he was able to keep it together and improve to 5-1 since the beginning of August. He’s now 8-9 with a 4.28 ERA overall, and he’s a decent fantasy option in a home start against the Royals next weekend.

The Pirates led 5-0 after one and 7-0 after two, and Chandler did an unusually nice job staying around the zone afterwards, walking none and allowing only four hits. It’s the first time in 28 starts this year that he’s gone without walking a batter. The win makes him 7-9 with a 4.25 ERA. He’s slated to face the Cubs on Sunday.

Rafael Devers homered in the first. The other two runs came in the fifth in a rally that started with a double to right center that really ought to have been caught and then a Devers popup that dropped in shallow right for a single. So, that wasn’t much Chandler’s fault. Still, it was rather disturbing that Chandler got just one swing and miss all night. 88 pitches, 40 swings and one miss. He’ll take a 4.30 ERA into his next start against the White Sox.

Chandler struck out three in the outing as Pittsburgh couldn’t pull off the sweep. Their rotation has been up-and-down throughout 2026, but by most metrics, Chandler has been their best starter in the second half. He combines one of the group’s lowest walk rates with a favorable ground-ball rate. Still just 23 years old, he’ll draw the Giants at home next time out.

Chandler gave up his four runs on a two-run homer by Max Muncy in the first, and a two-run single by Mookie Betts two frames later. There were no other scoring plays, but damage done in a mediocre — at best — outing for the 23-year-old. The right-hander had pitched exceptionally well in August prior to Friday with a 2.16 ERA, but the Dodgers didn’t have much trouble against him. A chance to get back on track comes next week in San Diego against the Padres.

Chandler was solid in this one, allowing just one baserunner through his first three innings of work. He would make it through the first four innings without allowing a run, but gave up two runs in the fifth inning thanks to an RBI single by Andruw Monasterio and a sacrifice fly by Nick Sogard. Chandler has been allowed two earned runs or less in five of his last six starts and has tallied five or more strikeouts in all but one of those outings. His next start is scheduled for Wednesday at home against the Tigers.

Chandler struck out five and walked one in his second scoreless start of the season. He must have something against the New York teams, because he also shut out the Yankees for 6 1/3 innings in the Bronx last month. We’re not really sure if Chandler has turned the corner, but he does have a 2.36 ERA in his last five starts, mostly because he hasn’t allowed any homers. His 24/10 K/BB during the span still isn’t particularly impressive, and he was lifted shy of five innings in two of the outings. He’ll have a tougher assignment next week against the Red Sox.

Chandler dealt with some traffic on the basepaths, but managed to hold Milwaukee off the scoreboard until an RBI single by Joey Ortiz with two outs in the fifth inning. He gave up another RBI single with two outs in the ensuing frame that led to his exit from the contest. He departed after striking out five and handing out four free passes. The 23-year-old former top prospect holds a pedestrian 4.49 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 98/61 K/BB ratio across 110 1/3 innings this season. He’s in line for a favorable matchup against the Mets on Saturday to finish off a two-start week.

Once again tonight, Chandler was quite good at limiting hard contact, but this still makes three times in four starts that he’s failed to complete five innings. He allowed eight hits despite giving up just five hard-hit balls. Chandler has definitely made real gains since the early part of the season, but it’s still not resulting in much fantasy value at all. He hasn’t won since June 25, and he’s just 3-8 on the season. He’ll likely face the Reds on Sunday.

Chandler departed a scoreless game, so it’s his third straight no-decision and he remains stuck on three wins for the year. There still isn’t much in the way of consistency here, but he does have a 3.74 ERA in his last eight starts, largely because he’s allowed only two homers. It’s dropped his season ERA from 5.05 to 4.47. He’ll face the Diamondbacks next week.

Chandler quieted the Brewers’ bats through four innings before giving up two runs on three hits in the fifth. With three walks and six strikeouts, he drove his pitch count up to 97 with two outs in the inning before he was replaced on the mound. The 23-year-old right-hander ends the first half with a 4.77 ERA, 1.45 WHIP, and an 85/55 K/BB ratio across 94 1/3 innings.

Chandler also issued four walks on the afternoon and did not record a single strikeout. After starting the day with a pair of scoreless innings, he served up a two-run homer to Luis García Jr. in the third inning. After the Nats added a single run in the fourth, Chandler loaded the bases to start the fifth inning before handing a mess over to the bullpen, from which only one of those inherited runners ultimately scored. The 23-year-old righty got just two swings and misses on 86 pitches, posting a miserable CSW of 13 percent. He’ll carry an uninspiring 4.82 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and a 79/52 K/BB (89 2/3 innings) into Saturday’s showdown against the Brewers.

That’s pretty much the same line Braxton Ashcraft had in a win for the Pirates last night, but Ashcraft wasn’t matched up with Cristopher Sánchez and this turned out to be an 8-0 loss for the Pirates. Chandler struck out six, but he managed just seven whiffs on 51 swings and a 22 percent CSW. It still seems like Chandler, who topped out at 101.5 mph tonight, will find another gear at some point, but there isn’t much to be encouraged about in his numbers. He’ll likely face the Nationals on Sunday.

Chandler gave up nine hard-hit balls, walked three and struck out four yet outdueled Bryce Miller, who allowed three hard-hit balls, walked none and struck out 11. Both gave up five hits, but while two of Miller’s were homers, Chandler’s produced only six total bases. It’s the fourth straight outing in which Chandler has allowed two runs or fewer. It sure would be nice to see him improve on his 21 percent strikeout rate, 13 percent walk rate and 35 percent groundball rate, but he’s getting the job done of late. He’s due to pitch in Philadelphia next week.

It’s always tense when a pitcher who hasn’t been there best has to pitch against the Rockies in Coors Field. Chandler somewhat stood up to the test in terms of limiting damage, but his ability to generate swings-and-misses continues to be inconsistent. He forced just nine total whiffs and only one came from his slider after he seemed to turn a corner with that pitch last time out. His fastball is incredible, it just can’t be the only thing he uses to try and get major league hitters out. He’s scheduled to face the Mariners at home next time out.

Chandler tossed two clean innings, then gave up a run on a pair of hits in the third. He settled in for a clean fourth and fifth, then departed with two runners on and two outs in the sixth at 84 pitches. Overall, it was an encouraging start for the 23-year-old right-hander as he walked just one batter for only the third time in 13 starts. Chandler will look to build on his performance when he takes a 4.76 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, and a 68/41 K/BB ratio across 68 innings into a start against the Rockies in Colorado on Friday.

Chandler struck out seven and walked two while pitching in bulk relief. Despite entering after an opener, he logged his longest outing since April 17. The Pirates recently bumped Carmen Mlodzinski from the rotation when Jared Jones came back, so Chandler needs to keep pitching like this to hold his spot. His next start lines up for a favorable matchup at home against Miami.

Chandler served up a two-run homer to Yordan Alvarez in the first inning. He tossed a scoreless second, then surrendered an unearned run in the third after the leadoff man reached on an error. The Astros would bring one more run across in the fourth on a pair of hits. Chandler gave the Pirates one more inning, tossing a clean fifth to leave in line for a win. The 23-year-old right-hander will take a 4.89 ERA, 1.51 WHIP, and a 55/38 K/BB ratio across 57 innings into a tough start against the Braves in Atlanta on Sunday.
