Ryan Feltner SP | COL
Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Impressive in return
Feltner did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing two hits and two walks over five scoreless innings in a 2-0 loss to the Padres. He struck out five.
Feltner made his first appearance since May 13 after being hit in the head by a comebacker and fired off five scoreless innings Tuesday. Encouragingly, Feltner got up to 86 pitches and appeared to be fully stretched out. However, Feltner was never in contention for the win, as the Rockies were no-hit until the ninth inning. The 26-year-old is tentatively scheduled to take the mound Sunday during a road matchup with the Cubs.

Blake Snell SP | LAD
Padres' Blake Snell: Fires seven hitless frames
Snell did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing four walks over seven scoreless innings against Colorado. He struck out 10.
The Padres got another incredible outing from Snell on Tuesday, as he fanned 10 Rockies across seven innings without allowing a single hit. However, the Padres failed to put up any runs until the ninth inning, eradicating Snell's hopes for a fifth consecutive win. Over his last five appearances (32 innings), Snell owns a 0.56 ERA and a 43:17 K:BB. He'll look to continue his hot streak during his next start, which is projected to come against the Giants at Oracle Park early next week.

Ben Lively SP | CLE
Reds' Ben Lively: Needed for bulk relief
Lively allowed five runs on seven hits and four walks while striking out four over four relief innings in Tuesday's 7-0 loss to the Twins.
The plan Tuesday was not to need Lively for that many innings or at all, per Charlie Goldsmith of the Cincinnati Enquirer. Reds manager David Bell scripted a bullpen game and had the ability for relievers to cover the entire game instead of turning to Lively. The manager had four relievers open the game, but the plan went awry when Cincinnati fell behind early and had a lifeless offense. Bell said he plans to manage the final two weeks as if it were the playoffs, which could mean shorter outings for starters and multiple relievers.

Ryan Pepiot RP | TB
Dodgers' Ryan Pepiot: Strong as primary pitcher
Pepiot allowed a run on five hits and a walk while striking out four over six innings in a no-decision versus the Tigers on Tuesday.
Pepiot gave up a solo home run to Parker Meadows in the third inning, but that was it. Unfortunately for Pepiot, the Dodgers' offense was quiet and couldn't get ahead until the ninth inning. This was Pepiot's fifth time allowing one run or fewer across his six appearances this season. He's at a 1.91 ERA, 0.70 WHIP and 26:3 K:BB through 33 innings. He's projected to make his next appearance on the road in Colorado.

Zac Gallen SP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Zac Gallen: Gets back in win column
Gallen (16-8) allowed four runs on six hits and three walks while striking out six over five innings to earn the win Tuesday over the Giants.
Gallen gave up at least four runs for the fourth time in his last five outings, but he was able to escape with a win this time. The Giants put two runs up in the first inning and another two in the fifth, with two coming via sacrifice fly. Gallen has faltered lately but still has a 3.60 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 205:44 K:BB through 197.2 innings over a career-high 32 starts this season. He's projected for a favorable road start versus the White Sox early next week.

Joey Lucchesi RP | LAA
Mets' Joey Lucchesi: Two earned runs in no-decision
Lucchesi did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing three runs (two earned) on six hits and two walks over 5.2 innings against Miami. He struck out five.
Lucchesi followed up last week's impressive performance with another solid start in Miami on Tuesday, surrendering a run-scoring double in the third, an unearned run on his own throwing error in the fifth and an RBI single in the sixth. In his two outings since being recalled from Triple-A, the lanky lefty has posted a 1.42 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 7:5 K:BB across 12.2 innings. Assuming he remains in the Mets' six-man rotation, Lucchesi is tentatively scheduled for a mid-week rematch with the Marlins in his next start.

Braxton Garrett SP | CHC
Marlins' Braxton Garrett: Sharp in no-decision
Garrett did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing one run (zero earned) on five hits over six innings against the Mets. He struck out seven without issuing any walks.
Garrett looked laser-focused Tuesday, surrendering just one unearned run and retiring the final 10 batters he faced; however, the 26-year-old settled for a no-decision as Miami's bullpen was unable to retain the lead. Garrett has gone six innings and thrown exactly 91 pitches in back-to-back outings, amassing an impressive 14:2 K:BB without allowing any earned runs during that stretch. He currently lines up for a road rematch with the Mets next week.

Jackson Rutledge RP | PHI
Nationals' Jackson Rutledge: Better in second outing
Rutledge did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing two runs on six hits and a walk over 6.1 innings against the White Sox. He struck out two.
It was certainly a step in the right direction for Rutledge after he was tagged for seven runs in 3.2 innings in his debut outing against Pittsburgh. The 24-year-old right-hander will likely make one more start this season, currently scheduled for next week in Baltimore, as he looks to solidify a sport in the Nationals' 2024 rotation.
-
Cristopher Sanchez SP | PHI
Phillies' Cristopher Sanchez: Falls to Atlanta
Sanchez (2-5) took the loss Tuesday, allowing three runs on seven hits and a walk over four innings against Atlanta. He struck out two.
It was another rough outing for Sanchez, who's now allowed seven runs on 15 hits in his last two outings (11.1 innings), both against Atlanta. Overall, the 26-year-old southpaw sports a 3.55 ERA with a 1.09 WHIP and 85:15 K:BB across 17 starts (91.1 innings) this season. Sanchez is currently slated for a home matchup with the Mets in his next outing, though he could be set up for another "tandem start" with Michael Lorenzen.

Alex Cobb SP | DET
Giants' Alex Cobb: Exits with hip injury
Cobb was removed from his start Tuesday against the Diamondbacks with an apparent hip injury, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Cobb was grabbing at his left hip at the end of the second inning and was taken out of the game after not being able to get comfortable while warming up ahead of the third frame. The Giants will take a look at Cobb and should provide more details shortly, but fantasy managers should view Cobb as day-to-day for now.
