Sale (0-2) took the loss against the Rays on Sunday, allowing four runs (three earned) on six hits and three walks with seven strikeouts over 4.1 innings.

Sale threw 63 of 98 pitches for strikes and limited hard contact, but he failed to complete the fifth inning for a second straight start. The veteran southpaw has yet to go beyond five innings in any of his four outings this season, yielding at least three earned runs in each of the them. As a result, he'll carry a 6.63 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 24:4 K:BB across 19 innings into a home matchup with the Twins next weekend.

Feltner (illness) is listed as the Rockies' probable starting pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers in Los Angeles.

Feltner battled the flu during his most recent start in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Brewers, but he pitched effectively while under the weather, limiting Milwaukee to one earned run on three hits and two walks over six innings. His condition has apparently taken a turn for the better over the weekend, so Feltner looks like he'll be ready to go for his next turn through the rotation on his normal four days' rest.

Webb (2-0) earned the win against the Yankees on Sunday, allowing three runs on five hits and four walks with five strikeouts over five innings.

Webb yielded three runs over the first two innings but battled to hold the Yankees scoreless over his final three frames. He generated 12 whiffs on 97 pitches but also found the strike zone on just 57 of them, tallying a season-high four walks. On the year, the 28-year-old has posted a strong 2.63 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 26:7 K:BB across 24 innings. He's slated for a road matchup with the Angels next weekend.

Peralta did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 5-2 loss at Arizona, allowing two runs on four hits and four walks with six strikeouts over 5.1 innings.

The Diamondbacks ran up the pitch count on Peralta, as the Milwaukee right-hander required 104 pitches -- only 58 of which were strikes -- to complete 16 outs. Despite being chased before completing the sixth inning, Peralta managed to generate an impressive 16 whiffs. He now owns a 2.31 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 28:8 K:BB across 23.1 innings. The 28-year-old is currently slated to make his next start against the Athletics at home this weekend.

Gallen took a no-decision Sunday against the Brewers. He struck out five over six innings while allowing two runs on five hits and three walks.

The Arizona right-hander looked sharper in this 89-pitch outing, firing 56 strikes to bag his second quality start of the season. The only blemish on Gallen's outing was a second inning two-run homer by William Contreras, which snuck out of the park, measuring 375 feet. With this effort, Gallen lowered his season ERA from 5.28 to 4.64 and will look to keep rolling in his next start, currently slated to be at the Cubs this weekend.

King (3-0) threw a complete-game shutout in Sunday's 6-0 win over Colorado. He allowed two hits and one walk while striking out eight.

The San Diego right-hander absolutely dominated the Rockies to collect his first career complete-game shutout. King threw 110 total pitches and generated a stellar 17 whiffs. The 29-year-old has put himself in the early NL Cy Young conversation with his start, pitching to a 2.42 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 24:8 K:BB across 22.1 innings. King is currently slated to make his next start at Houston this weekend.

Freeland (0-3) took the loss Sunday at San Diego, allowing five runs on eight hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out two.

The veteran southpaw is now three starts from the record for most games started in Rockies franchise history, currently held by Aaron Cook at 206. Freeland stumbled out of the gate in this appearance, allowing four runs on four hits in the first inning. The 31-year-old has had a tough beginning to the season, sporting a 4.88 ERA and 1.21 WHIP over 24 innings; however, better things may be around the bend for Freeland, as he's pitched to a solid 2.49 FIP with 17:2 K:BB. He currently lines up to make his next start at home against the Nationals this weekend.

Quantrill didn't factor into the decision in Sunday's win over the Nationals. He allowed three runs on seven hits and five walks while striking out two over five innings.

Quantrill gave up one walk over his first two starts, but his command of the strike zone was off Sunday as he issued five free passes. He managed to limit the damage to three runs despite allowing 12 baserunners but came away with a no-decision. Quantrill has begun the season with a 5.79 ERA and 1.79 WHIP across 14 innings, and his next start is slated for next weekend on the road against the Phillies.

Gore (1-2) took the loss against the Marlins on Sunday. He allowed four runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out seven across six innings.

Gore needed 105 pitches (of which 64 were strikes, including 11 whiffs) to reach six innings Sunday, and while he fanned seven batters for a second consecutive game, he wasn't able to get enough run support to avoid the loss. Gore leads the National League with 32 strikeouts, and through four starts he's registered a 3.52 ERA and 1.26 WHIP across 23 innings. He'll look to get back into the win column in his next start, which is tentatively slated for next weekend on the road against the Rockies.

Mlodzinski (1-2) took the loss against the Reds on Sunday. He allowed four runs on five hits and two walks while striking out four over 4.1 innings.

Mlodzinski got through the first two innings without issue, but he gave up a two-run single to Santiago Espinal in the third frame. Mlodzinski found himself in trouble again in the fifth frame and was tagged for two more runs, and he wasn't able to get enough run support to avoid his second loss of the season. The 26-year-old right-hander generated only eight whiffs and has started the season with a 6.23 ERA, 1.77 WHIP and 14:6 K:BB across 13 innings. Mlodzinski will look to get back in the win column in his next start, which is slated for next weekend at home against the Guardians.
