Anderson didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Red Sox, giving up three runs on five hits and a walk over 4.1 innings. He struck out six.

The Rockies spotted Anderson an early 4-0 lead by the top of the third inning, but the veteran right-hander quickly gave most of it back and got the hook after 89 pitches (60 strikes). His line could have been a lot worse -- he left the bases loaded when he exited in the fifth, but Colorado's bullpen and defense bailed him out. Anderson has yet to get a decision in six starts since moving into the rotation, but his 3.16 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 23:7 K:BB through 31.1 innings have been surprisingly solid. He lines up to face a tough test in his next outing, which is set to come this weekend in Atlanta.

Cabrera (5-5) took the loss Tuesday against the Mariners, allowing five runs on four hits and three walks while striking out four over four innings.

Cabrera allowed home runs in the second and fourth innings, with both coming after leadoff walks. His control issues have always been his Achilles' heel, though he has been better with 11 walks over his last 31.2 innings after walking 30 batters in 35.1 innings through his first eight starts. For the year, the 25-year-old owns a 4.70 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 84 strikeouts in 67 innings. He lines up to face Toronto at home next week.

Corbin (4-7) took the loss Tuesday against the Astros, allowing two runs on four hits and five walks while striking out five over five innings.

Corbin kept the Astros off the board through four innings. The only damage done against him came on solo home runs by Mauricio Dubon and Kyle Tucker in the fifth. The southpaw was able to work around a season-high five walks and registered 11 whiffs while striking out five batters for just the third time since May 4. Corbin has given up multiple home runs in two of his last three starts and has given up 13 total this year, which is currently tied for fifth most in baseball. The 33-year-old now holds a 4.81 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 51:24 K:BB over 78.2 innings. He last picked up a win May 26 and will look to change that this weekend against Miami.

Ortiz (1-3) took the loss Tuesday, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks over 5.1 innings against the Cubs. He struck out four.

Ortiz was hit hard early on, as the Cubs plated three runs in the first inning and added another before he was removed in the sixth inning with runners on the corners. The outing marked the first time in five starts that Ortiz allowed more than three earned runs, and continued a pattern of issues with the long ball as the 24-year-old has now given up five bombs over his last four appearances. He is tentatively scheduled to start Sunday against the Brewers.

Taillon (2-4) earned the win Tuesday against the Pirates, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out four.

Taillon won his second consecutive start, going six innings while tossing 95 pitches in his longest outing of the season. After going 0-3 with an ugly 8.04 ERA in his first eight outings, the 31-year-old veteran has made modest improvements in the month of June, going 2-1 with a 4.24 ERA over three starts. The results are certainly not what the Cubs expected after signing Taillon to a four-year, $68 million deal in the offseason.

Gonsolin (4-1) allowed two hits and two walks while striking out six over six scoreless innings to earn the win Tuesday over the White Sox.

Gonsolin threw 60 of 90 pitches for strikes and picked up his third quality start in nine outings this season. He's won four of his last six starts, and this was the third time in that span he's kept runs off the board. The steady right-hander is at a 1.93 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 36:18 K:BB through 46.2 innings, though those ratios are likely too good to last since he's not dominating with strikeouts as much this year. He's projected to make his next start over the weekend at home versus the Giants.

Musgrove (4-2) allowed three runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out five over six innings to earn the win Tuesday over the Guardians.

Musgrove allowed multiple runs for the first time in four starts, but he also picked up his third quality start over that span. The right-hander has started to more regularly get through six innings after failing to do so in his first five starts of the season. He's now at a 4.37 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 47:14 K:BB over 47.1 innings through nine starts. Musgrove is lined up for a tougher home start versus the Rays this weekend.

The Pirates will call up Bido from Triple-A Indianapolis to start Wednesday's game against the Cubs, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.

The 27-year-old will be making his MLB debut Wednesday after registering a 4.55 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 56:26 K:BB in 55.1 innings with Indianapolis this season. Even against a mediocre Chicago lineup, Bido profiles as a risky streaming option for fantasy purposes, given his so-so numbers at Triple-A and lack of a prior MLB track record.

Milwaukee reinstated Lauer (shoulder) off the 10-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Nashville on Thursday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. "We want to get him right, to be healthy and be a contributor," Brewers general manager Matt Arnold said.

Lauer was placed on the 15-day injured list May 22 with an impingement in his non-throwing shoulder, and the southpaw struggled in his rehab start Sunday with Nashville, allowing seven runs (five earned) in two innings. Lauer was an effective part of the Milwaukee rotation in 2022, but he'll remain in the PCL until the Brewers deem him worthy of a roster spot again this summer.

Williamson (1-0) earned the win Tuesday, allowing four runs on seven hits over five innings in a 5-4 victory over the Royals. He struck out one.

After not factoring into the decision in his first five starts, Williamson was finally able to secure his first victory Tuesday. The young southpaw gave up runs in each of his first three innings before settling down the rest of the way. Williamson was able to induce just seven swinging strikes on the evening, although he did throw 51 of his 78 pitches for strikes. He is scheduled to start during a three-game set against the Rockies next week.
