Lynn (4-7) allowed five runs (four earned) on six hits and two walks while striking out six over five innings, taking the loss Tuesday versus the Dodgers.

The Dodgers did their damage early, as Will Smith and David Peralta each took Lynn deep in the first inning. It's another stumble in a season full of them for Lynn -- he's allowed at least four runs in nine of his 14 starts. He's pitched to an ugly 6.75 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 86:31 K:BB over 77.1 innings this season. Lynn's projected for a road start in Seattle this weekend.

Bibee (2-2) allowed six runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out three over four-plus innings, taking the loss Tuesday versus the Padres.

The Padres' four-run first inning was ultimately all they needed to win. Bibee yielded four of the six runs on home runs by Gary Sanchez and Fernando Tatis over the first two frames before settling down a bit. This was Bibee's worst start of the nine he's logged in his young career, as he allowed season highs in hits and runs while walking multiple batters for the fourth time. He's still at a reasonable 3.91 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 45:14 K:BB over 48.1 innings. Bibee is projected for a tough road start in Arizona over the weekend, and his place in the rotation is at least somewhat stable until Cal Quantrill (shoulder) can return to the active roster.

Chirinos allowed two hits and a walk while striking out two over 3.2 scoreless innings Tuesday versus the Athletics. He did not factor in the decision.

Chirinos covered the most innings of the five pitchers the Rays used in a 2-1 loss. This was his first scoreless outing since April 23. It's unclear if Chirinos will be deployed as a traditional starter or work behind an opener going forward. He's pitched to a 2.35 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 17:12 K:BB through 38.1 innings over nine appearances (two starts) this season. Regardless of the usage, he's lined up for a weekend appearance on the road in San Diego if he remains a part of the Rays' rotation.

Severino did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing six runs on seven hits and three walks over 4.2 innings in a 7-6 victory over the Mets. He struck out four.

Severino needed 104 pitches to get through 4.2 innings after allowing four runs over his first two frames. The 29-year-old right-hander has struggled mightily of late, allowing 17 runs through 13.2 innings in his last three starts. Severino is 0-1 with a 6.48 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 22:10 K:BB through his first five starts (25 innings) this season. He'll look to get on track in his next start, tentatively scheduled for Sunday against the Red Sox.

Lyles (0-11) took the loss Tuesday, allowing five runs on five hits and three walks over six innings against Cincinnati. He struck out four.

Lyles struggled to find the zone all evening, as just 51 of his 94 pitches went for strikes. All five runs allowed came in the second inning, as the Reds were able to bat around and took a lead they would not relinquish. Although Lyles did not allow a home run in the outing, he has been especially victimized by them all season, giving up two or more homers in seven of his 13 starts. His next scheduled start is slated for Monday against the Tigers.

Kremer (7-3) earned the win Tuesday, allowing two runs on eight hits over six innings against the Blue Jays. He struck out six.

It was a solid bounce-back effort from Kremer after he allowed six runs in a loss to Milwaukee in his last outing. While the 27-year-old Kremer's record is impressive, he still sports a mediocre 4.74 ERA with a 1.43 WHIP and 65:19 K:BB through 14 starts (76 innings) this season. His 47 percent hard-hit rate also ranks in the bottom ninth percentile in the league. Still, Kremer has provided some stability in the Orioles' rotation. He's currently in line to face the Cubs on the road this weekend.

Bassitt (7-5) took the loss Tuesday, allowing eight runs on 11 hits and a walk over three innings against Baltimore. He struck out five.

All of the damage against Bassitt came via the home-run ball -- a pair of two-run shots before Gunnar Henderson blasted a grand slam in the third inning. It was a tough night for the 34-year-old Bassitt, who allowed just two runs in 15.2 innings over his previous two outings. His ERA is now up to 4.02 to go with a 1.13 WHIP and 75:2 K:BB through 14 starts (85 innings) this season. Bassitt is currently lined up for a tough road matchup against the Rangers in his next outing.

Olson's scheduled start versus Atlanta on Tuesday was postponed due to inclement weather, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Olson was scheduled to square off against Spencer Strider, but the poor weather in Detroit won't allows that to happen Tuesday. The game will be made up Wednesday with the two teams playing a straight doubleheader, and it's likely both will be involved in one of the two contests.

Maeda (triceps) is slated to make another rehab start Friday with Triple-A St. Paul, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

It will be his fourth rehab start, and possibly his final one. Out since late April due to a right triceps strain, Maeda has scattered two runs over nine innings so far with St. Paul. He's racked up 13 strikeouts against only one walk while working through some mechanical misalignments that stem back to his initial return from Tommy John surgery.

Urquidy (shoulder) said Tuesday that he thinks he could begin throwing off a mound by this weekend, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Urquidy began throwing on flat ground a couple weeks ago and is almost ready to test things out from the bump. The veteran hurler is coming back from right shoulder inflammation, an injury which landed him on the IL at the beginning of May.
