Lynn (7-2) picked up his second loss of the season Monday after allowing three runs on six hits and three walks while striking out eight over six innings against the Rays.

Lynn had a six-game winning streak snapped and lost for the first time since April 15. He was touched for a two-run home run in the first by Austin Meadows, then Brandon Lowe hit a solo shot in the third. It was just the second time in 12 starts that the right-hander has allowed more than two runs. Lynn will carry a league-best 1.51 ERA into his next start, which is expected to come Saturday at Houston.

Kremer (0-6) took the loss Monday, giving up four runs (three earned) on four hits over 5.1 innings in a 4-3 loss to Cleveland. He struck out two without walking a batter.

The 25-year-old continues to hunt for his first win of 2021, but this was actually one of Kremer's better efforts for Baltimore -- it's only the second time in 10 starts he's pitched past the fifth inning, and he'd surrendered nine earned runs over seven innings in his last two starts before his late-May demotion. He'll carry a 6.65 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 39:16 K:BB through 43.1 innings into his next outing.

Keller (6-6) was tagged with the loss Monday against the Tigers after allowing seven runs (six earned) on eight hits and a walk while fanning five across five innings.

Keller has given up at least five runs in back-to-back starts for the first time this season, and he seems to be trending in the wrong direction of late after posting a strong 3.86 ERA across six starts during May. The right-hander owns a 7.75 ERA in three outings this month, and he'll attempt to bounce back in his next start, scheduled for this weekend at home against the Red Sox.

Bundy (1-7) allowed seven runs on five hits and two walks over 2.1 innings Monday, striking out three and taking a loss against Oakland.

Bundy coughed up a two-run shot to Sean Murphy in the second inning but most of the damage against him came during Oakland's five-run third frame. He allowed four runs in the inning before he was removed in favor of James Hoyt, who would let an inherited runner score. Bundy has now failed to finish six innings in six straight starts and his ERA jumped once again to an unsightly 6.98 through 59.1 innings. Bundy is lined up for a home matchup with the Tigers this weekend.

Manoah allowed one run on four hits and one walk while striking out five across six innings in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Red Sox. He didn't factor into the decision.

Manoah made a mistake in the bottom of the third inning, surrendering an RBI double to left field, but he held Boston in check the rest of his start. He's now looked strong in back-to-back outings, surrendering just two earned runs across 11 total frames while punching out nine. Manoah's next outing tentatively lines up for Saturday in Baltimore.

Eovaldi allowed three hits and one walk while striking out four across 6.2 innings Monday against the Blue Jays. He didn't factor into the decision.

Eovaldi was dominant in this one and would have come away with the victory had the Red Sox not surrendered a 1-0 lead in the top of the ninth. Boston was ultimately able to win the contest in the bottom half of the frame, however. Eovaldi was coming off a tough showing his last time out, as he was tagged for five runs on 11 hits and three walks against Houston, but he's been rock solid of late despite that outlier, giving up two runs or fewer in four of his last five starts.

Glasnow left Monday's start against Chicago due to right elbow inflammation, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

This is concerning news for Tampa Bay's top hurler, though it remains unclear if he'll require a trip to the injured list. The team should know more about a timetable for his return after further evaluation.

Glasnow was removed from Monday's game against the White Sox after just 53 pitches, Steve Carney of Sports Radio 620 WDAE reports.

The team has yet to disclose an injury, but Glasnow was spotted flexing and stretching out his right arm before being removed. It's also concerning that he was shut down for the night after just four innings of work. The Rays likely won't offer up an explanation until after the contest.

Boyd left Monday's start against Kansas City due to discomfort in his arm, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Boyd had to be removed in the bottom of the third inning after recording the first out. He made it through 2.1 scoreless frames despite surrendering five hits prior to his exit. The severity of Boyd's injury is not yet known, but he's currently undergoing further evaluation, per Jason Beck of MLB.com.

Maeda (arm) was activated from the 10-day injured list and will start Monday against the Mariners, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

The 33-year-old landed on the shelf with a right adductor strain May 23 and dealt with some right arm soreness while rehabbing, but he'll officially rejoin the starting rotation Monday. Maeda has struggled through nine starts with a 5.27 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 80:10 K:BB over 42.2 innings this season, and he'll look to rebound now that he's healthy.
