Howard (0-2) allowed three runs on two hits and a walk while striking out four over four innings as he was handed the loss against the Dodgers on Monday.

All the damage against Howard came via the long ball, as he allowed a two-run homer to Will Smith in the fourth and a solo shot to Chris Taylor in the fifth before being taken out of the game. Howard has potential as one of the Phillies' best young arms, but he's still grinding through some growing pains and has yet to top four innings in a start this season. The 24-year-old now owns a 5.09 ERA and 23:12 K:BB over 17.2 innings and is expected to take the mound again this weekend against the Giants.

Jansen needed just nine pitches to pick up the save over the Phillies on Monday. He struck out a batter and did not allow anyone to reach base in the process.

Jansen recorded his second save in as many days with a nice bounceback performance after allowing a run (not charged to him) on two hits against the Rangers on Sunday. The 33-year-old righty is fourth in the majors in saves with 16 and owns a 1.63 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 31:19 K:BB over 27.2 innings.

Manaea (6-2) allowed one run on nine hits and a walk over 5.2 innings Monday, striking out five and earning a win over the Angels.

Manaea had to escape threats with multiple baserunners in the first, second and fourth innings, but the only run to score against him was a solo shot by Juan Lagares. Despite it not being his most effective outing, the 29-year-old earned his third straight win and has allowed one or fewer runs in each of his last five appearances. He lowered his season ERA to 2.99 alongside a 78:19 K:BB. Manaea is lined up to face the Yankees on the road this weekend.

Jimenez (2-0) earned the win in relief Monday against the Royals after not allowing a run across two-thirds of an inning, striking out one.

Jimenez entered the game in the third inning after Alex Lange left the game with shoulder discomfort. The former recorded the final two outs of the inning with ease, needing just seven pitches to claim his second victory of the campaign. The right-hander now has four straight scoreless outings and seems to be trending in the right direction once again.

Trivino stuck out one batter in a perfect ninth inning Monday, picking up a save against the Angels.

Trivino had no problem rolling through the Angels in the ninth inning, needing just 12 pitches to secure the 8-5 win. He's gone 14.2 straight innings without allowing an earned run dating back to May 5. The 29-year-old owns a 2.25 ERA and is now 11-for-13 in save chances this season.

Reyes notched a save Monday against the Marlins after tossing a scoreless ninth inning with one strikeout.

Reyes picked up his 17th save of the campaign and was absolutely filthy, tossing nine of his 10 pitches for strikes and closing the door on the Marlins rather quickly. The right-hander has gone 17-for-17 in save chances thus far and owns a sizzling 0.84 ERA across 32 innings this season.

Gallegos (4-1) earned the win in relief Monday against the Marlins after tossing a scoreless inning. He didn't record a strikeout and didn't give up a hit or a walk.

Gallegos has recorded three straight scoreless appearances out of the bullpen and seems to be leaving behind a rough stretch between May 27 and June 1 in which he allowed three earned runs across three outings. Despite that poor run a few weeks ago, Gallegos still owns a strong 2.21 ERA across 36.2 innings on the season.

Foley was optioned to Triple-A Toledo following Monday's game against the Royals, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Foley surrendered one run on two hits in one inning Monday, and he'll head down to the minors after two other Detroit arms suffered injuries in the series opener. The team will likely call up multiple fresh arms Tuesday after deploying nine different pitchers.

Floro (2-4) was tagged with the loss in relief Monday against the Cardinals after allowing two runs on two hits and two walks while fanning one across one inning.

The Marlins limited the Cardinals to just two runs and eight hits through the first seven innings, but Floro melted down in the eighth and gave up the final two runs of the contest following an RBI double from Tyler O'Neill and an RBI groundout from Paul DeJong. Floro ended a streak of four straight scoreless appearances with this poor outing, but he still owns a decent 3.86 ERA on 28 innings this season.

Lange will likely require a stint on the 10-day injured list after leaving Monday's game against Kansas City due to shoulder discomfort, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

The Tigers have yet to make the move official, but skipper A.J. Hinch stated after the game that there's a good chance Lange will need a trip to the injured list.
