Dunn registered a no-decision Tuesday against Baltimore, going 5.1 innings and allowing one run on three hits and four walks with six strikeouts in a 5-2 win.

Dunn was decent yet unspectacular as has become the norm for him and it's worth noting his two best games have come against the Orioles. He's gone between 4.2 and 5.2 innings in every start and has allowed no more than three runs in any of them, good for a 3.51 ERA.

Cease (2-0) picked up the win Tuesday, giving up one hit and three walks over six scoreless innings while striking out a career-high 11 in a 9-0 victory over the Reds.

The right-hander extended his scoreless streak to 13 innings with another dominant effort. Cease not only shut down a potent Cincy offense, he made a surprising contribution at the plate, going 3-for-3 with a double and a run scored. In the process, he became only the fourth pitcher in the expansion era to record hits in his first three career plate appearances. Cease will take a stellar 2.37 ERA and 40:15 K:BB through 30.1 innings into his next outing.

German didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Astros, allowing three runs on four hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out six.

The right-hander tossed 51 of 83 pitches for strikes but didn't stick around long enough to take advantage of the Yankees' offensive eruption in the sixth inning and get credit for the win. German did serve up two more homers, the third time in five starts he's been tagged for multiple long balls, and as a result he'll take a 4.32 ERA and 25:5 K:BB through 25 innings into his next outing.

Greinke didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 7-3 loss to the Yankees, giving up three runs on three hits and four walks over four innings while striking out four.

The veteran right-hander seemed a bit rattled by the atmosphere at Yankee Stadium as the Astros made their first visit to the Bronx with fans in attendance since the sign-stealing scandal came to light, and he threw 50 of 84 pitches for strikes before exiting. He'll take a 3.76 ERA and 31:10 K:BB through 40.2 innings into his next outing.

Gibson gave up three runs on three hits and two walks while fanning eight across eight innings against the Twins on Tuesday. He didn't factor into the decision.

Gibson gave up five runs and couldn't get out of the first inning in his season debut, but he's looked dominant since then, allowing just six earned runs across his last 41 innings -- good for a blistering 1.32 ERA in that span. The veteran right-hander will try to extend his dominant stretch when he takes the ball next week on the road against the Giants.

Arihara (finger) will throw a bullpen session Wednesday, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

The 28-year-old was scratched from Wednesday's scheduled start after receiving an injection in his right middle finger, but he's now scheduled for a bullpen session and could start Saturday if all goes well. Arihara was able to throw without any pain Tuesday, and he'll likely push things harder during the bullpen session.

Wacha was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with hamstring tightness, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The 29-year-old was rocked for four runs over 2.2 innings Sunday, and the hamstring issue apparently cropped up while he was doing some running Monday, per Topkin. Wacha isn't expected to face a significant absence and could return when eligible May 13. Rich Hill could be asked to pitch deeper for the Rays with Wacha sidelined.

Sale (elbow) threw off a mound Tuesday for the first time since March 1, 2020, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

He only threw a few pitches, but it was nonetheless a big step in his recovery from Tommy John surgery. Along his road to recovery, Sale was delayed by neck stiffness and COVID-19 in January along with a minor back injury in spring training. There's no timetable for Sale's return to game action, but he's making strides in the right direction.

Singer (heel) threw a bullpen session and is on track to make his scheduled start Wednesday against Cleveland, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

He took a comebacker off his heel in Friday's start against the Twins, leading to a short outing. Singer has been mostly excellent this season, logging a 3.09 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 26 strikeouts in 23.1 innings (five starts).

Springs has secured his second win and fourth hold over his last two trips to the mound, allowing two hits over 2.2 scoreless innings with two strikeouts in that span.

Springs picked up the victory with a perfect frame against the Astros on Sunday before notching a hold with 1.2 innings immediately following Tyler Glasnow's six-inning quality start Monday. The 28-year-old pitched to 6.40 and 7.08 ERAs the past two seasons, but his 3.55 figure and 1.03 WHIP over his first 12 appearances this season appear to be helping him build trust with manager Kevin Cash.
