Bundy (3-1) earned the win against Oakland on Tuesday, pitching seven scoreless innings and allowing four hits and one walk while striking out 10.

Bundy's outstanding start to the season continued Tuesday with his first scoreless outing as an Angel. The right-hander pitched a complete game his last time out, and he was equally impressive against Oakland, limiting the Athletics to six baserunners while tying his season high with 10 punchouts. Bundy's recent mastery over hitters is evident in his swinging-strike totals -- 16 in his last outing and 17 on Tuesday -- and he has yet to give up more than four hits in an appearance this season. The 27-year-old will carry a sparkling 1.57 ERA and 0.63 WHIP into his next start, which is scheduled to come at home against San Francisco on Monday.

Bubic allowed five runs on seven hits and one walk over five innings during Tuesday's extra-inning loss to the Reds. He struck out six and did not factor in the decision.

The 23-year-old gave up seven hits and five runs (four earned) combined over his first two starts, but the Reds matched those totals during Tuesday's contest, though he was taken off the hook for the loss. Bubic has a 5.40 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 15:4 K:BB through 15 innings and lines up to pitch Monday at Minnesota.

Montgomery (2-1) earned the win Tuesday against the Braves after allowing three runs on four hits with four strikeouts and one walk over six innings.

The left-hander worked through five frames without giving up a run, but Marcell Ozuna crushed a three-run homer during the sixth inning. Montgomery has a 5.17 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 10:3 K:BB over 15.2 innings, and he lines up to start early next week, either against Boston or Tampa Bay.

Cobb allowed three runs (two earned) on three hits and two walks while striking out two across 5.1 innings Tuesday against the Phillies. He did not factor into the decision.

Cobb mowed down the first six batters he faced, with only one ball leaving the infield. While he was brushed up a bit in the third inning, the only major damage was done on a solo home run by Jay Bruce to lead off the fifth frame. Cobb threw 71 pitches -- 49 of which went for strikes -- but was able to work efficiently by generating 11 groundouts. He has maintained a 2.75 ERA across 19.2 frames, though his 17:8 K:B suggests trouble may on the horizon. Cobb is scheduled to take his next turn through the rotation Sunday against the Nationals.

Hart will be recalled from the alternate training site to start Thursday's game against the Rays, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

The 27-year-old was unable to secure a spot on the Opening Day roster, but he's now set to make his major-league debut this week. Hart spent 2019 at Triple-A Pawtucket and had a 3.86 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 80:36 K:BB over 100.1 innings (15 starts), and a decent outing Thursday should bring additional opportunities with the Red Sox searching for answers in the starting rotation.

Ryu allowed one run on two hits and two walks over six innings during Tuesday's extra-inning win over the Marlins. He had seven strikeouts and didn't factor in the decision.

The 33-year-old surrendered a solo homer to Brian Anderson during the second inning, but he otherwise kept the Marlins in check all evening. The Blue Jays scored three runs in the bottom of the sixth to put him in line for the win, but the Marlins rallied late to for the 10th inning. Ryu gave up eight runs in nine innings during his first two starts, but in his last two outings he's allowed only one run on three hits across 11 frames. The left-hander will look to keep things rolling early next week in Baltimore.

Farrell was placed on the injured list Tuesday after coming in close contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19, though he has tested negative to this point, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Farrell was optioned to the Rangers' alternate training site Thursday, but he'll now be sidelined while continuing to undergo testing. The right-hander gave up five runs on five hits and four walks over 3.1 innings to begin the season.

Means was transferred to the injured list Tuesday while he undergoes intake testing, Jon Meoli of The Baltimore Sun reports.

After he spent the past several days on the bereavement list, Means will be sidelined several more days while he undergoes intake testing. The southpaw had lined up to start Thursday, but Tom Eshelman is expected to take his spot in the rotation against the Phillies. Assuming all goes well, Means should be able to return to the team in the coming days.

Clevinger (not injury related) was placed on the restricted list Tuesday.

Clevinger is in the midst of a mandatory quarantine process after violating team protocols over the weekend. He'll have to spend at least three days away from the team and produce a negative COVID-19 test before he's allowed to return. The earliest that the right-hander would be able to return would be Friday, but both Clevinger and teammate Zach Plesac could face further discipline from the team.

Springs was optioned to the Red Sox's alternate training site Tuesday.

Springs pitched inconsistently over four appearances with Boston this season, and he'll head to alternate camp after giving up three runs over 1.1 innings Monday. Right-hander Robert Stock was recalled to take Springs' place in the major-league bullpen.
