Cal Quantrill RP | TEX
Marlins' Cal Quantrill: One out shy of earning win
Quantrill allowed two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out three over 4.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Giants on Tuesday.
Quantrill ran into trouble in the fifth inning, and he ended up coming up an out short of the win. He was pulled with the tying run on base, and Anthony Bender got the final out as Rafael Devers was thrown out at the plate on a Heliot Ramos double. Quantrill is no stranger to short outings this season -- this was his seventh start of less than five innings, and he's yet to complete six frames in any of his 15 starts. He's pitched to a poor 5.56 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 51:21 K:BB across 68 innings. The right-hander is projected to make his next start at Arizona this weekend.

Trevor Williams RP | TEX
Nationals' Trevor Williams: Takes ninth loss
Williams (3-9) allowed four runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out three over five-plus innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Padres.
The Nationals scored the first three runs of the game, but Williams couldn't fend off the Padres' comeback. He allowed two runs in the fourth inning and a game-tying solo shot to Martin Maldonado in the fifth before issuing two walks to begin the sixth. One of those runners came around to score, saddling Williams with his fourth loss in five starts in June, a month in which he has allowed 16 runs (15 earned) over 24.1 innings. That's in line with his 5.65 ERA for the year, which comes with a 1.47 WHIP and 61:20 K:BB through 79.2 innings across 16 starts. The right-hander is tentatively projected for a tough home start versus the Tigers early next week.

Garrett Crochet RP | BOS
Red Sox's Garrett Crochet: Strikes out 10 in no-decision
Crochet allowed three hits and three walks while striking out 10 over seven innings in a no-decision Tuesday versus the Angels.
Crochet was excellent, but the Boston offense supplied just one run of support while he was in the game. He's allowed one run or fewer in seven of his last 10 starts and in 10 of 17 starts overall. This was also his fourth double-digit strikeout game of the year. Crochet has a 2.06 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 135:31 K:BB across 109.1 innings. His next start is tentatively projected to be at home versus the Reds.

Tyler Anderson SP | LAA
Angels' Tyler Anderson: Inefficient in no-decision
Anderson allowed a run on two hits and two walks while striking out five over 4.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Red Sox on Tuesday.
Anderson fell short of completing five innings for the third time in five starts in June. While this was arguably his best start of the month, he was pulled at 82 pitches (51 strikes), which shows there was a bit of inefficiency involved. The southpaw is now at a 4.41 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 70:33 K:BB through 85.2 innings over 16 starts. Anderson is projected to make his next start at Atlanta.

Ryan Bergert SP | KC
Padres' Ryan Bergert: X-rays negative
X-rays on Bergert's right forearm came back negative after he was struck by a comebacker in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Nationals, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
Bergert surrendered three earned runs over three innings before making an early exit in the fourth inning after a 103-mile-per-hour line drive connected with his forearm. Although he managed to escape without suffering a serious injury, the right-hander said after the game that he was still quite sore, and there's no telling at this point if he'll be ready to make his next start. He's tentatively scheduled to take the hill Monday against Philadelphia.

Jonathan Pintaro RP | NYM
Mets' Jonathan Pintaro: En route to Queens
The Mets are expected to select Pintaro's contract from Double-A Binghamton on Wednesday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
Pintaro owns a 3.40 ERA and 1.12 WHIP through 42.1 innings in Double-A. The 27-year-old right-hander has worked almost exclusively as a starter throughout his minor-league career, though he will likely be used out of the bullpen upon reporting to the Mets.

Taj Bradley SP | MIN
Rays' Taj Bradley: Cruises against Royals
Bradley (5-5) allowed two hits and a walk over 6.2 shutout frames Tuesday, striking out four and earning a win over Kansas City.
Bradley retired the first 16 batters he faced in the dominant performance. He faced a jam in the sixth inning with two runners in scoring position but escaped unscathed. It was a much-needed rebound after he gave up 19 runs (13 earned) over his previous three appearances. Bradley threw 57 of 87 pitches for strikes to earn his first win since May 21. He now owns a 4.57 ERA with a 77:35 K:BB through 86.2 innings this season. Bradley is lined up to start in Baltimore this weekend.

Kris Bubic SP | LAD
Royals' Kris Bubic: Fans eight in loss
Bubic (6-5) yielded four runs (two earned) on eight hits over six innings Tuesday, striking out eight and taking a loss against the Rays.
Bubic coughed up a two-run homer to Danny Jansen in the second inning. The Rays later plated unearned runs in the fourth and fifth frames. Bubic has posted a 14:1 K:BB over his last two outings after walking four batters against the Yankees on June 11. However, he's given up 10 earned runs in his last three starts after giving up only seven runs in his previous eight outings. Bubic still owns a terrific 2.18 ERA and a 96:27 K:BB through 91 frames. He's currently slated for a tough home matchup against the Dodgers this weekend.

Andrew Heaney RP | LAD
Pirates' Andrew Heaney: Tagged with seven runs
Heaney (3-7) allowed seven runs on seven hits and three walks over four-plus innings Tuesday, striking out three and taking a loss against Milwaukee.
Heaney delivered a pair of scoreless innings before his outing unraveled. He gave up three total home runs in the third and fourth frames, including two by Joey Ortiz. The Brewers tacked on another run in the fifth inning. Heaney has given up seven runs across four innings in back-to-back starts, driving his season ERA up from 3.33 to 4.48 through 86.1 innings. He hasn't won a start since May 21, going 0-4 with a 6.46 in six outings since then. Heaney is expected to face the Cardinals at home next week.

Freddy Peralta SP | TB
Brewers' Freddy Peralta: Fans eight in win
Peralta (8-4) yielded three runs on seven hits over five-plus innings Tuesday, striking out eight and earning a win over the Pirates.
Peralta rolled through five shutout frames before stumbling in the sixth inning. He gave up three straight hits without recording an out, capped off by Nick Gonzales' three-run shot, which ended his outing. Peralta has won three straight starts but has completed only five innings in each of his last two appearances. It was his first start without issuing a walk since April 2. The 29-year-old righty now owns a 2.90 ERA with a 98:34 K:BB through 93 frames. Peralta is lined up for a road matchup against the Mets next week.
