Griffin didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Royals, allowing one run on six hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out six.

The 30-year-old lefty produced his second straight quality start and seventh of the season on 100 pitches (74 strikes), but Griffin saw his eighth win slip away when the Nationals' bullpen coughed up a two-run lead in the top of the seventh inning. Griffin has been locked in over his last five outings, posting a 1.93 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 26:5 K:BB though 28 innings. He'll look to keep rolling in his next start, which is scheduled to come at home early next week against the Phillies.

Woodruff (shoulder) allowed three runs over 5.1 innings while notching six strikeouts in a rehab start with High-A Wisconsin on Tuesday.

There's no word on what Woodruff's velocity was in the outing, but he got his pitch count up to 82. That leaves him sufficiently stretched out if the Brewers believe he's ready for his next start to be in the majors. Woodruff has yet to make a start this season on four days' rest, so the earliest he could rejoin the big-league rotation is likely Monday in Cincinnati. He's been shelved since late April with right shoulder inflammation.

Pallante (8-4) earned the win Tuesday against the Padres after allowing two runs on four hits across seven innings. He struck out six without issuing a walk.

The six punchouts were Pallante's best output in that category since he fanned seven across 6.2 innings against the Royals on May 17. He has continued to provide length and strong performances when his name has been called of late. He's given up two earned runs or fewer in five of his last six starts, a stretch in which he's posted a 2.88 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 7.6 K/9 across 34.1 innings. He's lined up to make his next start Monday at home against the Diamondbacks.

King (4-6) was tagged with the loss Tuesday against the Cardinals after allowing three runs on five hits and three walks across 4.1 innings. He struck out one and hit a batter.

King posted a quality start in his previous outing against the Reds on June 10, but he struggled in this one and couldn't even get out of the fifth inning. The 31-year-old right-hander has allowed at least three earned runs in each of his last five starts, posting a 6.41 ERA and 1.46 WHIP across 26.2 innings over that stretch. He's expected to make his next start at home against Atlanta next week.

Gasser didn't factor in the decision Tuesday against Cleveland. He tossed 5.2 scoreless innings, allowing two hits and two walks while fanning five.

Gasser allowed a season-high six runs across five innings in a loss to the Athletics in Las Vegas in his previous start, but he bounced back admirably and delivered his first scoreless outing of the campaign. Gasser's inconsistencies limit his fantasy appeal; he has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three of his five starts, but in the other two, he's given up 10 runs on 12 hits. Gasser is still searching for his first win of the season and is lined up to make his next start this weekend against Atlanta.

Ray will be the Giants' first pitcher in the resumption of Tuesday's suspended game Wednesday in Atlanta, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Ray had been slated to start Wednesday's regularly scheduled contest, but he will instead take the ball in the bottom of the second inning as the two teams resume Tuesday's game that was suspended by inclement weather. The Giants are clinging to a 3-2 lead in the contest, so Ray will have a better chance to pick up a victory. San Francisco will go with a bullpen game in the nightcap.

Luzardo (6-4) picked up the win in Tuesday's 8-2 victory over the Marlins, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks over seven innings. He struck out nine.

The southpaw blanked the team that traded him to the Phillies ahead of the 2025 campaign for six innings before Esteury Ruiz touched him up for a two-run homer in the seventh. Luzardo has won three straight decisions, posting a 3.00 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 31:12 K:BB through 30 innings over five starts since his last defeat, and Tuesday's quality start was his seventh of the season. Luzardo will look to keep rolling in his next outing, which is set to come on the road early next week against the Nationals, the team that originally drafted him in 2016.

Singer (3-6) earned the win Tuesday against the Mets, allowing one run on three hits and three walks while striking out five over five innings.

Singer got off to a strong start, retiring the first six batters he faced before running into trouble in the middle innings. The right-hander allowed seven total baserunners across the third and fourth innings but limited the damage to just one run on a Bo Bichette RBI-single after stranding the bases loaded in both frames. The three hits allowed were a season low, as his 1.61 WHIP this season illustrates the traffic he has allowed on the bases. Singer now owns a 5.32 ERA and 52:23 K:BB across 66 innings and is slated to face the Brewers at home in his next start.

Senga (0-5) took the loss Tuesday against the Reds, allowing four runs on four hits while striking out five over four innings in his return from the injured list.

Making his first start since April 26, Senga's return from the injured list got off to a disastrous beginning. Before recording his first out, he served up a three-run homer to Sal Stewart, and later in the opening frame Spencer Steer added a solo shot. To Senga's credit, he settled in afterward and held Cincinnati hitless over the next three innings, topping out at 97.9 mph with his fastball, but the damage had already been done. The outing did little to improve what has been a difficult season for the right-hander, as his ERA remained at an ugly 9.00. He also owns a 1.88 WHIP and a 28:17 K:BB across 24 innings and will seek to collect his first win of the season in his next start, slated to be against the Cubs.

Kelly (5-6) allowed six runs on 11 hits and a walk while striking out four over 5.1 innings to take the loss versus the Angels on Tuesday.

This was Kelly's third consecutive loss. He pitched a scoreless first inning but was tagged for at least one run in each of the next five frames, creating a deficit too large for the Diamondbacks to escape. During his skid, Kelly has given up 15 runs over 16.1 innings while posting a 9:6 K:BB. He's at a 5.81 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 42:28 K:BB through 69.2 innings over 12 starts this season. His velocity has been stable compared to the last couple of years, but a back injury that delayed his start to the season may have disrupted his rhythm. Kelly is projected to make his next start in St. Louis early next week.
