Suarez (4-3) earned the win Monday, allowing three runs on five hits and a walk over six innings in a 6-3 win over the Nationals. He struck out eight.

Suarez surrendered a leadoff homer to James Wood but settled in over the middle innings before allowing a two-run double to CJ Abrams in the sixth frame, though the southpaw still was credited with a quality start and the win. Monday capped off a stellar June, during which Suarez posted a 2.10 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 35:7 K:BB across 30 innings (five starts). The 30-year-old will take a 2.94 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 92:26 K:BB across 104 innings (18 starts) into his next outing, tentatively scheduled for Sunday against the Angels.

Imanaga allowed two runs on nine hits and no walks while striking out four batters over 6.1 innings in a no-decision against San Diego on Monday.

The nine hits he allowed tied a season-worst mark for Imanaga, but he mostly dodged damage and gave up just two runs. The southpaw got 13 whiffs and threw 67 of 97 pitches for strikes while completing six frames for the first time over his past four starts. Imanaga has had an up-and-down June, allowing four or more runs twice and two or fewer runs three times. Overall, he holds a 4.30 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 92:23 K:BB across 98.1 frames spanning 17 starts.

Ashcraft (8-3) earned the win Monday against the Phillies, allowing five runs on five hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out eight.

Ashcraft was hit pretty hard, serving up a season-high three home runs, but he lasted long enough to turn in his third consecutive start with at least six innings. The 26-year-old right-hander has been mostly dependable in 2026 in spite of Monday's hiccup, giving up two runs or fewer in 13 of his 17 outings while working at least five frames in all but one. Ashcraft will take a 3.33 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 115:23 K:BB over 102.2 innings into his next scheduled appearance against an upstart Nationals lineup.

Nola (3-5) took the loss Monday against the Pirates, allowing eight runs (seven earned) on eight hits and two walks in 4.1 innings. He struck out five.

Nola came away with three scoreless innings to begin his outing, but he fell apart while giving up two runs in the fourth frame and six more in the fifth. The 33-year-old right-hander has struggled to keep runs off the board all year long, surrendering at least three earned runs in 11 of his 17 starts now. Nola's 6.04 ERA and 1.49 WHIP through 85 innings are career-worst figures, and he'll remain difficult to trust in fantasy leagues this weekend despite facing a soft matchup against the lowly Royals.

Weathers (3-6) took the loss Monday against the Tigers, allowing five runs (two earned) on seven hits and one walk in 1.2 innings. He struck out three.

Monday was a mess from the get-go for Weathers, who couldn't even complete two frames amid his shortest outing of the year. Three earned runs were kept off the 26-year-old southpaw's ledger due to a throwing error by Jose Caballero in the second inning, but the hurler was pulled at 55 pitches after allowing three consecutive baserunners. Weathers will be aiming to put Monday's start in the rear-view mirror over the weekend against the Twins, holding a 4.08 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 98:26 K:BB over 88.1 innings.

Baz allowed two runs on four hits and four walks while recording six strikeouts over seven innings Monday against the White Sox. He didn't factor into the decision.

Baz managed to bounce back after surrendering five runs in a miserable outing against the Angels. He was wild at times Monday, as evidenced by four walks, but he received assistance from his fielders and gave Baltimore a chance to win, exiting with the score tied at two. Baz has been solid of late, holding the opposition to two runs or fewer in six of his last eight starts while striking out 45 in 49 frames over this stretch.

Burke didn't factor into the decision Monday against the Orioles after allowing two runs on four hits and three walks while striking out eight over 5.1 innings.

Burke continued his stretch of strong outings and has now surrendered two runs or fewer in each of his previous three appearances. He gave up one run in the first inning and one in the third, but he was otherwise able to avoid trouble despite issuing three free passes. Burke also tied his season high in strikeouts Monday and has racked up 22 punchouts in his last 19 innings of work.

Mize (3-5) earned the win Monday against the Yankees, allowing no runs on one hit and no walks in seven innings. He struck out 10.

After giving up a season-worst eight hits his last time out against the Yankees, Mize bounced back in a huge way during Monday's rematch. The 29-year-old right-hander fanned a season-high 10 in his longest outing of the year, also surrendering a season-low one hit on the evening. Mize will be looking to build on Monday's showing this weekend in Texas, where he'll take an outstanding 2.63 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 68:14 K:BB across 65 innings.

Yesavage (4-3) earned the win Monday against the Mets, allowing one run on three hits and no walks in 6.2 innings. He struck out three.

Yesavage had a hard time finding the zone, matching a season low in punchouts while tossing just 57 of his 94 offerings for strikes, but he hung in there for a strong outing overall. The 22-year-old right-hander remains incredibly difficult to hit, giving up fewer than six knocks in each of his first 12 starts for a .185 opponent batting average. Yesavage is slated to finish a two-start week this weekend in Seattle, where he'll bring a 3.34 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 61:30 K:BB over 67.1 innings.

Glasnow (back) has been cleared to begin a throwing program, Jack Harris of the California Post reports.

Manager Dave Roberts stated Monday that the club is approaching Glasnow's rehab with caution, so it's not clear at this time when he could resume throwing off a mound. The right-hander has been on the injured list since early May after experiencing lower-back spasms and remains without a clear timetable for a return.
