Early allowed one run on five hits and no walks while striking out seven in 5.1 innings Tuesday against the Athletics. He did not factor into the decision.

Early was phenomenal again in his second career major-league start, both of which have come against the Athletics. He generated 14 whiffs and was pounding the zone with a 70 percent strike rate on 80 pitches. Early also tied the Red Sox record with 18 strikeouts through his first two career starts. He was pulled for Greg Weissert with a runner on first after pitching into the sixth and Weissert would allow the runner to score on a double, spoiling Early's chances for the win. Early has done enough to continue on in the rotation and lines up for a road start versus the Rays this weekend.

Mize allowed three runs on seven hits across 5.1 innings and did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's 7-5, 10-inning loss to the Guardians. He walked one and struck out eight.

Mize was in line for his sixth loss of the season before Kerry Carpenter homered in the bottom of the ninth inning to tie the game at 3-3 and force extra innings. It was a slight step back for Mize, who had allowed a total of three runs on nine hits across 11 innings in his previous two starts combined. On the bright side, the righty continued to display good strikeout potential. He has now fanned 16 batters in 11.1 innings over his last two appearances, and his 8.3 K/9 is a big improvement from the 6.9 mark he posted during the 2024 regular season. Mize will look to keep missing bats and try to get back into the win column in his next outing, which is penciled in for Sunday against Atlanta.

Dana (0-2) took the loss Tuesday, allowing five runs on eight hits and three walks over 3.2 innings against the Brewers. He struck out four.

Dana struggled to settle in Tuesday, surrendering runs in each of the four innings he pitched. The Angels like his raw stuff and strikeout potential, but consistency has remained an issue both in the minors and the majors. Across 18 starts and 82 innings at Triple-A Salt Lake, he carries a 5.93 ERA and 1.59 WHIP, while his five MLB outings have produced a 7.45 ERA and 1.86 WHIP over 19.1 innings.

Matthews (4-6) took the loss Tuesday, allowing nine runs on 11 hits and two walks over three innings in a 10-9 loss against the Yankees. He struck out two.

Matthews was tagged for runs in each of the three innings he worked Tuesday, failing to find a groove before being pulled. The 25-year-old has endured a tough season, posting a 5.97 ERA and 1.58 WHIP across 15 starts and 72.1 innings. Still, there are reasons for optimism in his underlying metrics, including a 3.85 FIP and 3.4 K/BB pointing to better potential than the surface stats suggest.

Schlittler did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing four runs on three hits and five walks over 4.2 innings in a 10-9 win over the Twins. He struck out six.

Schlittler battled command issues Tuesday, throwing just 49 of his 89 pitches for strikes and issuing a career-high five walks. Despite some ups and downs with consistency, the rookie right-hander has flashed potential in his debut campaign. Through 12 starts, he owns a 3.41 ERA and 1.35 WHIP across 60.2 innings.

Wacha (9-12) took the loss Tuesday, allowing seven runs on nine hits and no walks over 2.2 innings against the Mariners. He recorded no strikeouts.

Wacha was rocked in his first start back from a brief injured list stint for a concussion, lasting fewer than three innings while surrendering six extra-base hits, including homers to Dominic Canzone and Cal Raleigh. The veteran right-hander entered with a 3.45 ERA and 1.18 WHIP, but those marks climbed to 3.79 and 1.22, respectively, across 29 starts and 161.2 innings this season.

Gilbert (5-6) earned the win Tuesday, allowing two runs on six hits and a walk over 5.2 innings against the Royals. He struck out five.

Gilbert was handed plenty of run support from the Mariners' offense and took advantage by attacking the zone to secure the win. After being tagged for six runs in two innings against the Phillies on Aug. 18, the right-hander has largely settled back in, posting a 2.54 ERA and 0.99 WHIP with a 12.4 K/9 across 28.1 innings over his last five starts.

Kelly (12-8) took the loss Tuesday against the Astros, allowing six runs on nine hits and a walk while striking out one over three-plus innings.

Kelly never fully settled in, and his outing unraveled in the fourth when he allowed five consecutive hits on just 12 pitches without recording an out before being lifted. The six runs were his highest total allowed in a start since April 3, when he was tagged for nine by the Yankees. It also marked Kelly's shortest outing since 2022, a discouraging result for a Texas team fighting for a playoff spot. The 36-year-old will look to rebound in his next scheduled start against the Twins.

Kremer (10-10) allowed two runs on four hits and three walks over 5.2 innings Tuesday, striking out four and earning a win against the White Sox.

It wasn't Kremer's sharpest outing, but he got the job done after allowing a two-run shot to Kyle Teel in the first inning. Despite striking out only four batters, Kremer racked up 16 whiffs on 97 total pitches, including eight with his splitter. However, it was the first time he issued more than two walks since July 19. Kremer is now sporting a 4.39 ERA with a 136:44 K:BB through 164 innings. He's lined up for a home start against the Rays next week.

Smith (6-8) yielded six runs on nine hits and a walk over 4.1 innings Tuesday, striking out seven and taking a loss against Baltimore.

Smith worked through two scoreless frames before things unraveled. He was charged with two runs in each of the third, fourth and fifth innings before getting the hook. It was the first time he didn't complete at least five innings since Aug. 1, and he took his first loss since July 6. Smith was 3-0 with a 3.04 ERA over nine starts since that last loss. He's now sporting a 4.06 ERA with a 129:54 K:BB through 135.1 innings on the year. Smith is projected for a road matchup with the Yankees next week.
