Burnes (8-4) allowed two hits and two walks while striking out three across six scoreless innings, earning the win over the Cardinals on Tuesday.

Burnes carried a no-hitter through 5.1 innings before allowing back-to-back singles. He was able to strand the pair of runners for his third straight quality start. The 26-year-old has a 1.55 ERA in 58.1 innings over his last nine starts. He only had a season-low three punchouts Tuesday, which lowered his high K/9 rate to 12.4. His next start projects for Sunday against the Nationals.

Marquez (11-9) allowed three runs on five hits and one walk with four strikeouts through 6.1 innings, getting the win in Tuesday's 7-3 victory over the Padres.

Everything was going swimmingly for Marquez on Tuesday until it wasn't. After blanking San Diego for six innings, the right-hander coughed up solo home runs to Fernando Tatis, Jake Cronenworth and Tommy Pham in the seventh. While the ending of his outing will no doubt leave a sour taste, Marquez's effort on the night was still good enough for a quality start and his 11th win. He remains the Rockies' workhorse and tentatively lines up to pitch next Monday against the Cubs.

Ynoa allowed three hits and one walk with four strikeouts across 5.1 scoreless innings Tuesday against the Marlins. He did not factor into the decision.

Ynoa was activated from the injured list Tuesday to make his first start since May 16. He showed little rust, holding the Marlins without an extra-base hit while also generating nine swinging strikes on 80 total pitches. Even with a three-month absence, Ynoa appears to be in the midst of a breakout as he has allowed one or fewer earned runs in six of his nine starts this season.

Alcantara (7-11) allowed one earned run on five hits and one walk while striking out seven across eight innings but took the loss Tuesday against Atlanta.

Alcantara allowed a one-out walk in the eighth inning, which turned into the the only run he allowed in the game. He dominated Atlanta otherwise, racking up 22 swinging strikes on 105 total pitches while also not allowing an extra-base hit. Alcantara has dominated of late. Even accounting for the 10 earned runs he allowed at Coors Field, he has allowed only 11 runs across his last 25.2 innings -- spanning four starts. For the season, Alcantara has a 3.39 ERA with 135 strikeouts across 151.1 frames.

Hendricks (14-5) tossed six innings of one-run ball to record the win Tuesday against the Reds. He allowed three hits and three walks while striking out three.

After a rough outing his last time out in which he allowed nine earned runs, this was a nice bounce-back effort for Hendricks, and it also helped snap a 12-game losing streak for the Cubs. The righty is unquestionably the ace of Chicago's staff, but he hasn't been as sharp this year compared to recent seasons. His current 4.04 ERA would be a new career worst, as he's been below 4.00 in each of his previous seven MLB campaigns. Hendricks still has time to whittle away at that figure, and he certainly will if he pitches like he did Tuesday night. Hendricks is tentatively lined up to make his next start Monday against the Rockies.

Manager Jayce Tingler said Tuesday that Darvish (back) is playing catch, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.

Darvish landed on the shelf with lower-back tightness over the weekend, so the fact he was never shut down from throwing bodes well for his recovery. The veteran right-hander will be eligible to be activated during the upcoming series against the Dodgers, which begins Aug. 24, though it's uncertain if he'll be ready to pitch by that point.

Manager Jayce Tingler said Paddack (oblique) could throw off a mound soon, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.

Paddack has been throwing off flat ground for nearly two weeks, and he's nearly ready to resume mound work. The 25-year-old is eligible to be activated off the injured list but remains without a timeline for his return. The right-hander may also require a rehab assignment before rejoining San Diego's starting rotation.

Greene (shoulder) started for Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday during the third inning, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

The 22-year-old was scratched from his start last week due to irritation in the AC joint of his right shoulder, but he was able to retake the mound a week later. However, Greene was ejected during the third frame after throwing a fastball behind Johan Camargo, who hit a homer off him earlier in the contest. Overall the right-hander surrendered four runs on four hits with four strikeouts and a walk across 2.2 innings.

Garrett was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Garrett was tagged for three runs on three hits and six walks over three-plus innings during Monday's start, and he'll return to the minors following the rough outing. The 24-year-old has struggled in eight outings for the Marlins this season with a 5.03 ERA, 1.82 WHIP and 32:20 K:BB across 34 innings.

Mikolas (forearm) is expected to return from the 60-day injured list to start Friday's game against the Pirates, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.

Mikolas missed the start of the season with a shoulder injury and returned to make just a single start in late May before being shut down with a tight forearm. He's now ready to go after making five rehab appearances and will be getting an extra day of rest in his return to major-league action, as his final rehab outing happened Saturday.
