Imanaga didn't factor into the decision against the Dodgers on Tuesday after allowing five runs (two earned) on six hits and two walks in 5.2 innings. He struck out six.

The star left-hander was working against a vaunted Dodgers lineup and also the wind blowing out toward center field, but he fared well for the most part in spite of the difficult circumstances. Tommy Edman's first-inning three-run jack carried a bit into deep center field, but Gage Workman's fielding error earlier in the frame meant all three runs were unearned. Imanaga tied a career high with three homers allowed Tuesday, but he'll carry a strong 2.38 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 27:12 K:BB across 34 innings into a much softer matchup against the Pirates in his next scheduled start. As a team, Pittsburgh entered Tuesday ranked 28th in MLB in slugging percentage (.320).

May didn't factor into the decision against the Cubs on Tuesday after allowing seven runs on 10 hits and three walks in five innings. He struck out five.

On top of facing a Cubs offense that entered the day leading the majors in runs scored, May also had to deal with the wind blowing out a bit to center field. After giving up one run or less on three hits or fewer in each of his first three starts this season, May allowed a career-worst seven runs and 10 hits Tuesday. Better days are ahead for the 27-year-old right-hander, who'll take a solid 3.68 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 19:9 K:BB over 22 innings into a much more favorable situation at home against Miami in his next scheduled start.

Cabrera did not factor in the decision during Tuesday's win over the Reds. He allowed three runs on five hits and two walks over five-plus innings while striking out seven.

Cabrera coughed up a solo homer to Noelvi Marte in the third inning and an RBI double to TJ Friedl in the fifth. The Reds plated another run in the sixth after Cabrera allowed a hit and a walk before being removed. He has not completed six innings in any of his three outings this season, resulting in a 6.14 ERA with an 18:8 K:BB through 14.2 frames. Cabrera is in line for a tough road matchup against the Dodgers next week.

Canning (3-1) earned the win against the Phillies on Tuesday, allowing one run on seven hits and one walk while striking out five across five innings.

Canning tied a season high with seven hits allowed, but he managed to limit the damage to one run on an RBI single by Johan Rojas in the second inning. Four of Canning's five strikeouts came over his last two innings of work, and he finished the game tossing 84 pitches (54 strikes) while generating 15 first-pitch strikes and 12 whiffs. Canning has a 3.12 ERA and 1.38 WHIP in 26 innings to begin the season, and he's lined up to face off against the Nationals next week on the road.

Pivetta (4-1) allowed two hits and two walks over seven shutout innings Tuesday, striking out six and earning a win over Detroit.

Pivetta was dominant again Tuesday, letting just one runner reach scoring position. He's turned in seven scoreless frames in three of his five starts this season and dropped his ERA to 1.20 through 30 innings. He tossed 58 of 91 pitches for strikes in Tuesday's start, including 11 whiffs. Pivetta will carry a 30:7 K:BB into his next matchup, which is projected to be at home against the Giants next week.

Parker (3-1) earned the win against the Orioles on Tuesday, allowing one hit and two walks while striking out four across eight scoreless innings.

Parker made it through eight innings while tossing 99 pitches (69 strikes), yielding only three baserunners while retiring the final 17 batters he faced. Parker has a quality start in all five appearances this season, and his efforts Tuesday lowered his ERA to 1.39, which is fourth best in the National League. The 25-year-old southpaw is slated for a home matchup against the Mets this weekend for his next start.

Gonsolin (back) is scheduled to start for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.

Gonsolin tossed four innings in his last rehab outing with Oklahoma City last Tuesday, and Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters he wants the 30-year-old right-hander to pitch into the fifth inning Wednesday, per Moreno. Gonsolin has made three appearances during his rehab assignment, logging a 3.00 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 13:4 K:BB across nine innings. He's in the final stages of his recovery from a back injury that he suffered in early March.

Sanchez was removed from Tuesday's game against the Mets due to left forearm soreness, Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Sanchez made it through only two innings before exiting the game, during which he gave up two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out two batters. It's currently unknown if his injury will prevent him from making his next start, though two days off in the next week for Philadelphia will give the 28-year-old southpaw extra time to recover.

Strider was diagnosed with a Grade 1 strain of his right hamstring Tuesday, and his return timeline is expected to be determined over the next couple weeks, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

It's an encouraging diagnosis after Strider landed on the injured list Monday, though he still seems set to spend more than the 15-day minimum on the shelf. After recovering from the internal brace procedure he underwent on his elbow last year, the right-hander was able to make just one start in 2025 before suffering the hamstring injury.

Miley (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Dayton on Tuesday, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.

Miley was cleared to pitch in an official game after getting through an extended spring training contest last week with no issues. Coming back from a hybrid UCL repair he had on his left elbow last May, Miley will eventually work his way up to Triple-A Louisville and could become an option for the Reds' rotation if he pitches well.
