Imanaga (5-2) recorded the win Wednesday against the Guardians, giving up three runs on four hits and no walks in 5.1 innings. He struck out four.

Imanaga ran into trouble early, serving up back-to-back solo jacks in the second inning and another homer in the third, but he was able to settle down a bit thereafter. The left-hander was pulled after throwing 81 pitches in his second start following almost two months on the injured list with a hamstring injury, but he did toss at least five frames in his ninth consecutive outing. Imanaga will look to further extend his pitch count in his next scheduled appearance against the Twins in Minnesota. He sports a 2.78 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 41:15 K:BB through 55 innings for the campaign.

Bibee (4-9) took the loss Wednesday against the Cubs, giving up five runs on six hits and four walks in four innings. He struck out five.

Bibee labored particularly in the third inning, when he threw 32 pitches to stretch his count up to 73 for the game at that point. Wednesday ultimately matched the 26-year-old right-hander's shortest outing of the year, and his four walks also tied a season high. Bibee's performance has been up and down in 2025 with a 4.20 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 87:30 K:BB across 98.2 frames, and a difficult task against the Astros in Houston awaits him in his next scheduled appearance.

Eovaldi (5-3) recorded the win Wednesday against the Orioles, giving up no runs on two hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out five.

Eovaldi was making his second start after spending a month on the shelf with a triceps injury, and the Rangers decided to turn to their bullpen following the hurler's 72 pitches while they held a 6-0 lead. It was the veteran right-hander's fifth scoreless outing of at least five frames this season, and he poured in 50 of his pitches for strikes. Eovaldi will try to build up closer to a full workload in his next scheduled appearance against the Angels in Anaheim, where he'll bring a stellar 1.75 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 80:13 K:BB over 77.1 innings.

Sugano (6-5) took the loss Wednesday against the Rangers, giving up six runs on 10 hits and one walk in 4.2 innings. He struck out five.

After yielding a career-high seven runs on nine hits his last time out, Sugano's struggles dragged into Wednesday's start. The right-hander had surrendered greater than three runs on a lone occasion through his first 15 outings of the year, but he's now been knocked around for 13 runs on 19 hits over his last two appearances. Sugano has posted a 8.87 ERA, 2.15 WHIP and 17:8 K:BB across his past five starts (22.1 innings), so he appears to be difficult to trust in his next scheduled outing at home versus a tough Mets lineup.

Roupp didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against Arizona, allowing two runs on five hits and four walks over four-plus innings. He struck out four.

Roupp held the Diamondbacks scoreless through four innings, but he was promptly pulled before logging an out in the fifth frame. He yielded a leadoff homer, back-to-back walks and then a single, leaving the bases loaded for Erik Miller. Roupp has been excellent since being tagged for six runs across 1.2 innings during a June 14 start against the Dodgers, boasting a 1.17 ERA and a 15:9 K:BB in 15.1 innings across three starts since. He's scheduled to face the Phillies next time out.

Kelly didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against San Francisco, allowing three runs on five hits and three walks with three strikeouts over six innings.

Kelly got off to a rough start, allowing a solo homer, a triple and a walk as part of a two-run first inning for the Giants. While he settled in afterward and logged his fourth quality start in six outings, he notched his fewest strikeouts since May 2 and snapped a streak of five straight starts with at least seven Ks. On the year, Kelly owns a 3.55 ERA across 104 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to make his next start in San Diego.

Kershaw didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against the White Sox, allowing four runs on nine hits and one walk with three strikeouts over six innings.

Kershaw became the 20th player in MLB history to record 3,000 career strikeouts, and he did so in dramatic fashion. The 37-year-old labored through five innings, yielding four runs and throwing 92 pitches with merely two strikeouts, but he still came out for the sixth frame. Kershaw retired Mike Tauchman to start the inning before allowing a double to Michael Taylor. Taylor was caught stealing third base, setting up an inning-ending strikeout of Vinny Capra for Kershaw to etch his name in the history books. While he couldn't continue his four-start win streak, Kershaw maintained his lossless 2025 campaign since the Dodgers rallied for the walk-off win. In his last five appearances, Kershaw has a 2.48 ERA and a 24:5 K:BB across 29 innings. He's on track to face the Brewers for his next start.

Burke didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against the Dodgers, allowing one run on six hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out five.

The only damage against Burke came in the second inning, when Andy Pages clubbed a solo homer. Wednesday's outing continued a stellar stretch of play for the 25-year-old pitcher, who's allowed just two earned runs in his last three starts (16.1 innings) to go along with a 19:5 K:BB. His season-long ERA is down to 4.03 across 87 innings. Burke is lined up to face the Blue Jays early next week.

The Mariners will recall Evans from Triple-A Tacoma to start Thursday's game against the Royals, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

With Bryce Miller (elbow) likely out until late July and with Emerson Hancock recently getting demoted to Triple-A, Evans will come up from the minors to claim the fifth spot in Seattle's rotation. The 24-year-old has already made seven starts for the Mariners this season, turning in a 3.38 ERA and 1.33 WHIP alongside a 30:12 K:BB over 40 innings, but he gave up eight runs in only three frames during his most recent outing with Tacoma this past Saturday. That being said, Evans will draw a favorable matchup in his return to the big club, as he'll face a Royals offense that has posted a .617 OPS over the past two weeks.

Cameron didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against Seattle, allowing four hits and one walk with five strikeouts across 4.2 scoreless innings.

Cameron delivered his fourth scoreless start of his rookie season, bouncing back from two consecutive losses and an appearance in which he yielded five runs over four innings to the Dodgers. Eleven of the 25-year-old's 16 earned runs allowed over 55.1 innings in 2025 have come in two starts: the aforementioned outing against Los Angeles and a June 27 start against the Yankees. When he hasn't faced arguably the two most potent offenses in baseball, he's been utterly dominant, boasting a 0.96 ERA and a 33:15 K:BB in 46.2 innings. He's slated to face the Pirates next time out.
