Schwellenbach (1-2) yielded four runs (three earned) on seven hits and a walk over six innings Sunday, striking out six and taking a loss against Arizona.

Schwellenbach never found a groove Sunday, coughing up a run in each of the first, second, fourth and fifth innings. He tossed 58 of 88 pitches for strikes and generated 16 whiffs, including six each with the slider and splitter. After allowing only one run through 20 innings to start his 2025 campaign, Schwellenbach has been tagged with 13 runs (11 earned) over his last 17.2 frames. He still owns a strong 2.87 ERA with a 33:6 K:BB. Schwellenbach is expected to face the Dodgers at home next weekend.

Falter (1-3) yielded seven runs (five earned) on eight hits and two walks over 4.1 innings Sunday, striking out two and taking a loss against the Dodgers.

Falter struggled right out of the gate Sunday, coughing up four runs in the first inning and another in the second. He settled in for a bit until the Dodgers plated three more runs in the fifth frame, with two being charged to the left-hander. It's the second time that Falter has allowed seven runs in a start this season and his ERA jumped to 5.93 through 30.1 innings. He's projected for a home matchup with the Padres next weekend.

Glasnow could be set for a stint on the injured list after exiting Sunday's start against the Pirates due to right shoulder discomfort, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

The right-hander described the injury as something that "kind of comes and goes," and he felt it grab at him while warming up for his second inning on the mound. Manager Dave Roberts said that he's more worried about Glasnow in the short-term than the long-term, suggesting that he believes the issue to be a minor concern. That being said, Roberts outlined that a stint on the IL is "certainly a possibility" for Glasnow, per Benjamin Royer of L.A. Times Sports. The 31-year-old will likely undergo additional imaging on his shoulder in the near future.

Megill didn't factor into the decision Sunday against the Nationals, allowing three runs on three hits and one walk over 6.1 innings. He struck out nine.

Megill held the Nats to one run on just one hit (a Dylan Crews homer -- the first given up by Megill this season) through his first six innings. However, he'd allow two more hits in the seventh before turning it over to Jose Butto out of the bullpen, who allowed both inherited runners to score. Still, it's the first time Megill has made it through six innings this year, and he's yet to allow more than three earned runs in a start. His ERA sits at a sparkling 1.74 with a 1.13 WHIP and 39:12 K:BB across six outings (31 innings).

Parker did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Mets, allowing seven runs (six earned) on seven hits and five walks over five innings.

While Parker's final line was disappointing, the left-hander did good work to make it through five innings after allowing five runs on 43 pitches in the first. Parker had held opponents to one run or fewer in four of his first five starts coming into Sunday -- his ERA now sits at 2.65 with a 1.13 WHIP and 20:16 K:BB across 37.1 innings. Parker's currently lined up for a road matchup with the Reds in his next outing.

Soroka (biceps) allowed two earned runs on four hits and a while striking out four over 4.1 innings during his rehab start with Double-A Harrisburg on Sunday.

The right-hander built up to 78 pitches in his second rehab outing, though he didn't quite reach the goal of five innings. Even so, Soroka may be built up enough to make his next start with the Nationals, though he'll need to rejoin the big club to be evaluated before any decision is made. If cleared to return from the 15-day injured list, he's likely to pitch next weekend in Cincinnati.

Lodolo (3-2) picked up the win Sunday at Colorado, allowing two hits and one walk over seven scoreless innings. He struck out nine.

The Cincinnati southpaw had no trouble in the thin Coors Field air, efficiently picking up his fourth quality start on just 91 pitches. Lodolo completely silenced the Rockies, scattering two singles and generating 15 whiffs. The 27-year-old has been fantastic to open the season, pitching to a 2.25 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 27:5 K:BB across 36 innings. He is currently scheduled to make his next start against the Nationals at home next weekend.

Glasnow was removed from Sunday's start against the Pirates due to right shoulder discomfort, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Glasnow threw 17 pitches and surrendered two solo homers during the opening frame, but he didn't seem to be in any visible discomfort until he began throwing his warm-up tosses for the second inning. The right-hander also left his start last weekend with lower leg cramps, but this is a much more concerning diagnosis. Glasnow should be considered day-to-day for now, but any arm issue puts his availability for the next turn through the rotation up in the air.

Glasnow was removed from Sunday's start against the Pirates due to an apparent injury, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

The right-hander exited his previous start last weekend due to cramps in his right lower leg, but it's unclear exactly what prompted his departure from Sunday's contest after throwing some warmup tosses ahead of the second inning. Glasnow surrendered a pair of solo homers during the opening frame before leaving the contest.

Smith-Shawver could be called up from Triple-A Gwinnett to start Tuesday's game against the Rockies in Colorado, Lindsay Crosby of AthlonSports.com reports.

Atlanta hasn't publicized its pitching plans for Tuesday, but the team still has a hole in its rotation following Spencer Strider's (hamstring) placement on the injured list last week, and Smith-Shawver would be available to enter the big-league rotation after making his most recent start for Gwinnett last Wednesday. The 22-year-old made Atlanta's Opening Day roster after a strong spring training, but he was demoted to Gwinnett on April 13 after turning in a 4.61 ERA, 1.98 WHIP and 17:8 K:BB across 13.2 innings over three starts. He's since made two appearances for Gwinnett and has supplied a 4.82 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 13:4 K:BB in 9.1 innings.
