Ryu (4-2) earned the win Tuesday against the Red Sox after tossing seven scoreless innings, allowing four hits and fanning seven.

Ryu has now allowed one or fewer runs in three of his last four outings, but Monday's performance was perhaps his most dominating one of the season thus far -- he tossed 67 of his 100 pitches for strikes and only allowed one runner to reach scoring position. The left-hander owns a 2.37 ERA in three starts this month and is slated to take the ball during the upcoming weekend series at home against the Rays.

Dunn (1-2) allowed two earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out nine across 5.2 innings to take the loss Tuesday against Detroit.

Dunn matched his longest start of the season, highlighted by improved efficiency as he needed 94 pitches to record 17 outs. He also racked up his highest strikeout total of any outing on the campaign, which was backed by 14 swinging strikes. Dunn has struggled to work deep into games mostly due to walks, and he now has handed out 22 free passes in 34.2 innings. Even so, he's maintained an acceptable 3.63 ERA and 1.33 WHIP. He's projected to make his next start Tuesday at Oakland.

Turnbull (3-2) did not allow a hit, walked two and struck out nine across nine scoreless innings to earn the win Tuesday against the Mariners.

Turnbull threw 117 pitches to complete the no-hitter, the first for Detroit since 2011. He racked up nine strikeouts on 19 swinging strikes, but he generated the majority of his outs via groundballs. Turnbull had an inconsistent start to the season, though he has now turned in consecutive quality starts while facing the Royals and Mariners. He'll carry a 2.88 ERA and 0.96 WHIP across 34.1 innings into his next start, which is currently projected to come Monday against Cleveland.

Rodriguez (5-2) suffered his second straight loss Tuesday, allowing five runs on 11 hits and one walk while striking out six in an 8-0 loss to Toronto.

The Blue Jays were uber-aggressive against Rodriguez, who likes to throw first-pitch strikes. He entered the night with a first-pitch strike rate of a career-high 66 percent, per Jordan Horrobin of MLB.com. Toronto batters swung at the first pitch 16 times in 26 at-bats, which isn't necessarily a problem but can be if the pitcher is missing his target and catching too much of the plate. After winning his first four starts and posting a 3.52 ERA, Rodriguez is 1-2 with a 6.00 ERA in the last four outings. He lugs a 4.70 ERA into his next start Sunday at Philadelphia.

Odorizzi (forearm) threw three innings in a rehab start for Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Steve Schaeffer of the Houston Chronicle reports. He allowed four runs on five hits and one walk while striking out four.

Odorizzi sandwiched a pair of good innings around one bad, which included a three-run home run. The right-hander threw 36 strikes among his 57 pitches and needed just nine in a 1-2-3 third inning after giving up four runs in the second frame. It's unclear what the next step is, but another rehab start to build up pitch count could be in order.

Javier allowed three runs on five hits and one walk while striking out nine in a no-decision to Oakland on Tuesday.

Javier worked around three solo home runs and left with the game tied after six innings. The right-hander works up in the zone, so there is the potential for flyballs and homers. It's surprising he didn't allow any long balls in four April starts, but it's all catching up to him now. Javier's allowed seven HRs in 23.1 innings over four May starts (one loss, three no-decisions). His next start is expected to be Sunday on the road against Texas.

Gonzales (forearm) threw off a mound for the second straight day Tuesday without setbacks, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

The left-hander is getting closer to the one-month mark with respect to his injured-list stint, but with back-to-back days free of health-related snags, he could also be ready to face live hitters before the end of the week. If all continues to go smoothly for Gonzales, he could be deemed ready for activation before the end of the month without the need for a rehab assignment.

Taillon didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Rangers, giving up four runs on six hits and two walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out three.

The right-hander once again was unable to give the Yankees much length, and Taillon has now pitched past five innings only once in eight starts. Despite a stellar 46:10 K:BB through 37.2 innings, he'll take a 5.73 ERA fueled by a 2.15 HR/9 into his next outing.

Lynn did not factor into the decision Tuesday after holding the Twins to a pair of runs on five hits and a walk while striking out two across six innings.

All of Lynn's damage came off the bat of Miguel Sano, who tallied a pair of solo shots against the right-hander in the fourth and six innings. Otherwise, Lynn held the Twins in check, painting yet another solid outing while leaving the game poised for the win. The 34-year-old has thrown at least five innings in each of his four starts since coming off the injured list, earning three wins in the process. Better yet, across his last three starts, Lynn has allowed only two earned runs. He'll look to continue his success during his next projected start at home Monday against the Cardinals.

Ober did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the White Sox after allowing four runs on five hits and a walk while striking out four across four innings.

Ober was making his MLB debut after getting called up from Triple-A St. Paul to make a spot start in place of Michael Pineda. Most of Ober's damage came via the long ball, including a solo shot by Jake Lamb in the first inning and a two-run homer by Yasmani Grandal in the third. Across two Triple-A starts this season, the 25-year-old posted a 1.29 ERA in seven innings, and it's worth noting his unreal 0.69 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 100:9 K:BB in 78.2 innings across three levels of the minors in 2019.
