Gausman (2-2) picked up the win Tuesday against Colorado, pitching five innings and allowing two runs on two hits and one walk while striking out five.

It was a relatively easy outing for the veteran hurler given the 23 runs of support San Francisco put on the scoreboard in the rout. Gausman stuck around just long enough to qualify for the win, throwing 87 pitches and allowing only two hits -- both of which were homers off the bat of Garrett Hampson. Gausman will next face Arizona at home Monday.

Nola (4-2) earned the win Tuesday against the Nationals after giving up two hits with nine strikeouts and three walks over eight scoreless innings.

The 27-year-old delivered his best outing of the season as he completely shut down Washington's offense. Nola has a 2.45 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 57:12 K:BB through 43 innings and will look to replicate this performance Sunday against the Mets.

Corbin (2-3) took the loss Tuesday in Philadelphia after giving up two runs on five hits with two strikeouts and three walks over five innings.

It certainly wasn't the left-hander's best outing, but he was going to have a difficult time avoiding the loss regardless with the offense providing zero run support. Corbin has a 3.79 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 36:11 K:BB through 40.1 innings and will look to get back in the win column Sunday in Atlanta.

Kim (2-0) earned the win Tuesday against the Reds after allowing three hits with four strikeouts and two walks over five shutout innings.

The left-hander probably could have returned for another inning as he finished at 85 pitches, but there was no need to push it with the Cardinals already up 11-0 after five innings. Kim has been lights out in his three starts, allowing only nine hits with 10 strikeouts and three walks across 17 innings. He'll try to add another start to his impressive run Sunday against the Cubs.

Wood (shoulder) struck out two and hit a batter in a scoreless inning in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

Wood pitched in the eighth inning, and aside from hitting Tim Locastro with a pitch, it was a clean return to action for the 29-year-old southpaw. Wood will function in a relief role going forward, with the ability to make spot starts if necessary. He's not likely to make much of a fantasy impact working out of the bullpen.

Urias (3-0) allowed one run on four hits and struck out five over six innings in a win over the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

The only damage on Urias' line was a solo home run by Carson Kelly in the third inning. The other three hits he allowed were singles. Tuesday also marked the second time in seven starts Urias didn't walk a batter. The 24-year-old southpaw has a 3.27 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 29 strikeouts through 33 innings this season. He lines up for a home start versus the Rockies on Sunday.

Gray (5-2) was charged with the loss Tuesday against the Cardinals after recording only two outs and giving up six runs on five hits with one strikeout and three walks.

The 30-year-old was unable to make it out of the first inning as he delivered only 17 of his 38 pitches for strikes. Gray entered Tuesday's game with only nine runs allowed through seven starts, but the short outing made a significant dent in his numbers. The right-hander has a 3.19 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 56:18 K:BB through 42.1 innings and will look to get back on track Sunday in Pittsburgh.

Musgrove (triceps) will be activated off the 10-day injured list to start Wednesday against the Cubs, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

The 27-year-old advanced to throwing simulated games at the alternate training site last week and is now ready to rejoin the Pirates after spending three weeks on the injured list. Musgrove only pitched a few innings in his recent sim game and is unlikely to be fully stretched out Wednesday, so he may have a tough time reaching the necessary five innings to qualify for a victory.

Kershaw will start Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

The veteran lefty lined up to start Wednesday, but he'll receive an extra day of rest while Walker Buehler (hand) makes his return from the injured list. Kershaw has a 3-0 record with a 0.90 ERA, 0.60 WHIP and 21:3 K:BB over 20 innings across his past three starts.

Lorenzen threw four scoreless innings in relief in Monday's loss to the Cardinals, striking out three while allowing two hits and a walk.

While this was a huge effort to save the rest of the bullpen, it's not very good for Lorenzen's fantasy value. He's not going to be available for a few days, plus the Reds went out and acquired Archie Bradley, who presumably will be ahead of Lorenzen in the pecking order should anything happen to Raisel Iglesias.
