Lorenzen (3-4) took the loss Wednesday against the Astros after allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk in 7.1 innings. He struck out five.

Although Wednesday marked Lorenzen's longest outing of the season, he gave up greater than three runs for just the third time in nine starts. While the veteran right-hander matched a season worst with seven hits allowed, he's now tossed at least six frames in four of his past five appearances. Lorenzen will look to continue providing length for the Royals in his next scheduled start against the Giants next week, when he'll carry a steady 3.76 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 45:15 K:BB over 52.2 innings in 2025.

Corbin (3-2) earned the win Wednesday against the Rockies after allowing three runs on four hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out nine.

Corbin established a season high with nine punchouts, which also represented his most Ks in a start since 2023. Wednesday marked his second straight quality start, and the veteran left-hander also produced a strong 15 swinging strikes, notably fanning six in a row at one point. Corbin will take a quality 3.35 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 29:13 K:BB over 37.2 frames into a tough matchup on the road against the Yankees, who boast an .878 OPS versus left-handed pitching through their first 42 games.

Vasil picked up the save in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Reds, allowing one walk with no strikeouts over a scoreless ninth inning.

Vasil has been a multi-inning reliever in 2025, but after tallying a 1.88 ERA through 24.0 innings to open his rookie season, the White Sox opted to give him a try in the ninth inning. He cashed in on the opportunity, logging the first save of his career. Considering the White Sox's lack of reliable arms, Vasil could continue to see save chances. However, those are expected to be few and far between.

Martin (2-4) picked up the win in Wednesday's 4-2 victory over the Reds, allowing one run on seven hits and no walks across 6.2 innings. He struck out five.

Martin had allowed seven runs in 9.1 innings spanning his last two starts, a stretch that ballooned his ERA from 3.24 to 4.01. He bounced back Wednesday by exceeding six innings for the first time all year and picking up his first win in six starts. He holds a 3.65 ERA and a 33:12 K:BB across 49.1 innings this season and is expected to take the mound again Monday against Seattle.

Bassitt did not factor into the decision in Wednesday's game against Tampa Bay, allowing one run on seven hits and two walks while striking out six over 5.2 innings.

Bassitt entered Wednesday's game having yielded three earned runs or more in each of his last four outings. He allowed at least two baserunners in three of the first four innings, but he was able to limit the damage to a single run. Bassitt has a 3.16 ERA and 1.27 WHIP across 51.1 innings this season, and his 55 strikeouts is eighth most in the American League. He also boasts a 4.1 percent walk rate, which is in the 93rd percentile in the majors. Bassitt is slated to face the Padres at home next week.

Pepiot (2-5) took the loss against the Blue Jays on Wednesday, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk while striking out seven across six innings.

Pepiot managed to keep the Blue Jays off the board through the first five innings, but he gave up a three-run homer to Alejandro Kirk in the sixth and was unable to get enough run support from the Rays' hitters to avoid the loss. Pepiot has logged a quality start in four of his last five appearances but has taken the loss in three of those outings. The 27-year-old right-hander has a 3.47 ERA and 1.26 WHIP across 49.1 innings this season and is lined up to face the Astros at home next week.

Dobbins did not factor into the decision in Wednesday's game against Detroit, allowing five runs on nine hits while striking out four across five innings. He did not issue a walk.

Dobbins was able to limit the Tigers to two runs over the first five frames. He was brought back for the sixth inning, but he was unable to record an out and was tagged for three more runs, highlighted by a two-run homer by Riley Greene. It was the most runs Dobbins has given up in a start this season, and his efforts Wednesday brought his ERA and WHIP up to 3.90 and 1.30, respectively, over 27.2 innings. It looked to have been his last run in the Red Sox's rotation due to the impending return of Walker Buehler (shoulder) next week, but Tanner Houck (forearm) was placed on the 15-day injured list Wednesday, which prompted Boston to recall Cooper Criswell from Triple-A Worcester. It remains to be seen whether Dobbins or Criswell will serve in the Red Sox's rotation while Houck is on the shelf.

Skubal allowed five runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out 11 over 6.1 innings, but he did not factor into the decision in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Red Sox.

Skubal limited the Red Sox to two runs through the first six innings and looked to be on his way to earning his sixth quality start of the season. He was brought back for the seventh frame, but he was lifted after allowing three consecutive baserunners and was tagged for three more runs. Skubal still managed generate 21 whiffs on 95 pitches (67 strikes) and tallied double-digit strikeouts for the third time in his last four outings. The 28-year-old southpaw is in line to face the Cardinals on the road next week.

Castillo allowed a run on six hits and two walks while striking out six over six innings in a no-decision versus the Yankees on Wednesday.

Castillo wasn't at his sharpest but still kept the Yankees off the board until Jasson Dominguez's RBI double in the sixth inning. This was Castillo's fourth quality start of the season, three of which have come over his last four outings. The six strikeouts matched his season high, but he also continued the trend of walking at least two batters in every start so far. He's posted a 3.65 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 39:20 K:BB across 49.1 innings through nine starts in 2025. Castillo is projected for a much more favorable matchup on the road versus the White Sox next week.

Warren allowed two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out nine over five innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Wednesday.

Warren's nine strikeouts were a season high, and he's now fanned 24 batters over his last 17 innings. The right-hander limited the damage to a two-run double by Julio Rodriguez in the third inning. Warren wasn't all that efficient Wednesday, throwing just 53 of 92 pitches for strikes, but he kept things from getting too lopsided, and the Yankees responded with late offense to keep him out of the loss column. He's now at a 4.61 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 50:17 K:BB over 41 innings through nine starts this season. Warren's next outing is projected to be at home versus the Rangers.
