Imanaga (13-3) got the win over the Dodgers on Tuesday, allowing three runs on seven hits while striking out four over seven innings. He did not issue a walk.

Imanaga was hurt by the long ball, as he allowed three solo home runs, including two home runs to Tommy Edman. Imanaga was awarded a fourth straight victory after the Cubs rallied in the eighth for five runs to put him in line for the win. The lefty has now reached seven innings in three of his last four starts and Tuesday marked his eighth start this season without a walk. He owns a 3.03 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 159:25 K:BB in 160.1 innings and lines up for a home start against Oakland to begin next week.

Yamamoto did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's loss to the Cubs, allowing one run on four hits while striking out eight over four innings. He did not issue a walk.

Yamamoto looked electric in his first start since June 15, striking out eight through three innings and registering an impressive 41 percent CSW rate on 59 pitches. His only troublesome inning was in the second when the Cubs strung together three singles to bring home their only run against him. Yamamoto will likely continue to build up his pitch count as the Dodgers gear up for another playoff run and he has a great matchup ahead of him against the Marlins next week. The 26-year-old now owns a 2.88 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 92:17 K:BB in 78 innings this year.

Civale (6-8) got the win over the Giants on Tuesday, allowing two runs on three hits and a walk while striking out two over 5.1 innings.

Civale was given an early 2-0 lead before he took the mound. He gave up a run of his own in the bottom of the first but then went on to retire 13 of the next 14 batters he faced before Mike Yastrzemski opened up the sixth inning with a solo home run. Civale was pulled after just 68 pitches, but the Brewers were able to hang on to get him his fourth win in his last six starts. He's now 4-2 with a 3.84 ERA in 11 starts for Milwaukee compared to 2-6 with a 5.07 ERA in 17 starts for the Rays. For the year, Civale owns a 4.57 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 136:47 K:BB in 145.2 innings and lines up for a tough road matchup against the Diamondbacks this weekend.

Gordon will start for the Rockies on Wednesday in Detroit, MLB.com reports.

Gordon will be making a spot start in place of Austin Gomber (personal), who was placed on the paternity list Tuesday. The right-hander holds a 7.55 ERA and 25:6 K:BB over 31 innings covering seven starts with the big club in 2024 but is coming off his best start of the season with Triple-A Albuquerque, having tossed eight shutout frames last Wednesday in Tacoma.

Darvish (5-3) got the win over the Mariners on Tuesday, allowing two runs on seven hits while striking out five over five innings.

The damage against Darvish was done early with solo home runs by Cal Raleigh and Luke Raley in the first and second inning. Darvish finished with three scoreless innings and got his first win since May 19. He tossed exactly 63 pitches for a second straight start since coming off the injured list and recorded five whiffs while throwing over 75 percent of his pitches for strikes. Darvish now owns a 3.52 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 62:17 K:BB in 64 innings. He lines up for a home start versus the Astros next week.

Gallen (12-6) earned the win over the Rangers on Tuesday, allowing two hits and two walks while striking out seven over five shutout innings.

Gallen has kept a scoreless stat line in three of his last four outings, with the exception being a five-run outing against the Dodgers. Over that four-start span, Gallen has a 31:12 K:BB across 22 innings. The right-hander is now at a 3.55 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 133:49 K:BB through 132 innings over 25 starts this season. He'll look to keep things on track in his next start, which is projected to be at Colorado.

Pallante (6-8) allowed three runs on six hits and five walks while striking out six over five innings, taking the loss Tuesday versus the Reds.

Pallante has issued five walks in back-to-back starts, and he's allowed multiple walks in each of his last nine starts. Over the longer span, he's given up 24 runs (23 earned) across 51 innings while surrendering just three home runs. Despite the command troubles, Pallante has maintained a 4.13 ERA with a 1.40 WHIP and 77:45 K:BB across 102.1 innings over 26 appearances (17 starts) in the majors this year. If the Cardinals stick with a six-man rotation into next week, Pallante is projected to make his next start at home versus the Pirates.

Lowder (1-1) allowed five hits and struck out three without walking a batter over five shutout innings to earn the win over the Cardinals on Tuesday.

Lowder continues to impress in the majors, having allowed just one run over 15.1 innings across his first three starts. He showed improvement in his one weak spot by issuing zero walks Tuesday after walking four batters in each of his first two outings. The right-hander is now at a 0.59 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 12:8 K:BB. He's tentatively projected for a road start versus the Twins this weekend.

Suarez didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 9-4 win over Tampa Bay, allowing four runs on 12 hits and two walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out two.

The 12 hits given up by Suarez are a new season high. The left-hander's been in a rut of late -- he's failed to make it through six innings in seven of his last eight starts, posting a 6.02 ERA in that span. Overall, Suarez is 12-6 on the season with a 3.05 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 134:33 K:BB across 24 starts (138.2 innings). He'll look to get back on track in his next outing, currently scheduled for early next week in Milwaukee.

Lopez was removed from Tuesday's game against the Nationals due to right shoulder tightness.

Lopez only managed to last one inning in Tuesday's contest, during which he allowed one hit and struck out one batter. His velocity was also noticeably down, and it now appears his shoulder may have had something to do with that. There's no telling at the moment if he'll require a trip to the injured list, though Atlanta may wait a few days to see how he recovers before making a decision.
