Jose Quintana SP | COL
Brewers' Jose Quintana: Throws five frames in return
Quintana did not factor in the decision during Sunday's win over Philadelphia. He yielded two runs on four hits and four walks over five innings while striking out three batters.
Quintana made his first start since May 9 after spending nearly a month on the injured list with a shoulder issue. He threw only 48 of 82 pitches for strikes but tossed three scoreless innings after giving up a run in each of the first two frames. Quintana earned a win in each of his first four starts this season but has since posted a 5.28 ERA over 15.1 frames in his last three outings. He'll carry a 2.77 ERA into his next matchup, which is lined up to be at home against the Padres.

Andrew Heaney RP | LAD
Pirates' Andrew Heaney: One out shy of quality start
Heaney allowed two runs on five hits and struck out three without walking a batter over 5.2 innings in a no-decision Sunday versus the Padres.
Heaney rebounded well from his previous outing, in which he allowed five runs over five innings against Arizona. He came up an out short of a quality start Sunday, and he also missed out on the win after Tanner Rainey and Caleb Ferguson combined to squander the Pirates' lead in the seventh inning. Heaney is now at a 3.39 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 47:24 K:BB across 66.1 innings over 12 starts this season. He's allowed two runs or fewer in four of his last five starts and in eight of his 12 outings this year. He is projected to make his next start at home versus the Phillies.

Randy Vasquez SP | SD
Padres' Randy Vasquez: Short outing Sunday
Vasquez allowed four runs on six hits and three walks while striking out three over 3.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Pirates on Sunday.
Vasquez had gone six starts without allowing more than three runs, but that streak ended Sunday. He gave up home runs to Andrew McCutchen and Adam Frazier, which accounted for three of the four runs on his line. The long ball has been an issue lately, as Vasquez has given up seven homers over his last five starts. For the season, the right-hander has a 3.99 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 35:30 K:BB over 58.2 innings across 12 starts, numbers that suggest he has gotten fairly lucky so far. He is tentatively projected to make his next start at Milwaukee.

Samuel Aldegheri SP | LAA
Angels' Sam Aldegheri: Expected to join big-league roster
Aldegheri is expected to join the Angels in Boston for their three-game series beginning Monday, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.
Aldegheri will return to the big leagues after spending the entirety of the 2025 campaign with Double-A Rocket City so far. The left-hander has produced a 4.34 ERA with 48 strikeouts over 47.2 innings in nine starts with the Trash Pandas to this point. It's unclear what role the 23-year-old will have with the Angels, but he compiled a 4.85 ERA and 1.92 WHIP with 10 punchouts over 13 innings in three starts with the team in 2024.

Ranger Suarez SP | BOS
Phillies' Ranger Suarez: Delivers quality start
Suarez did not factor in the decision during Sunday's loss to Milwaukee. He allowed two runs (one earned) on seven hits while striking out two over six-plus frames.
Suarez gave up a run through six innings before he was charged with an unearned run in the seventh. He faced just one batter in the frame, yielding a double to Caleb Durbin before exiting the contest. Suarez's two punchouts and five swinging strikes were both the lowest he's produced this season. He was tagged with seven runs in his season debut but has since turned in five straight quality starts with a 1.10 ERA during that span. Suarez will carry a 2.72 ERA into his next start, which is projected to be in Pittsburgh.

Mitchell Parker RP | WAS
Nationals' Mitchell Parker: Struggles early in loss
Parker (4-5) allowed three runs on three hits and two walks while striking out two over five-plus innings to take the loss versus the Diamondbacks on Sunday.
By his recent standards, this was actually one of Parker's better starts. It didn't go well early on, as he allowed all three runs, including a two-run home run by Eugenio Suarez, in the first inning, but he retired 14 straight batters before exiting after a leadoff walk in the sixth. Parker has allowed at least three runs in seven straight outings, and this was the third time in that span he's completed at least five innings. He's already on shaky ground in Washington's rotation, and he has a 4.71 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 42:28 K:BB through 65 innings over 12 starts. Parker is tentatively lined up for a home start versus the Rangers in his next outing.

Kevin Gausman SP | CHC
Blue Jays' Kevin Gausman: Fans seven in no-decision
Gausman did not factor in the decision during Sunday's win over the Athletics. He allowed three runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out seven over 4.2 innings.
Gausman gave up one run through four innings before Luis Urias' two-run double in the fifth knocked him out of the contest. It was just the second time in 12 starts that Gausman failed to complete five frames. He'd given up one run over 15 frames in his previous two starts before Sunday. Gausman threw 60 of 96 pitches for strikes and generated 13 whiffs, including 10 with the splitter. He's registered a 3.82 ERA alongside a 68:14 K:BB through 70.2 innings. Gausman's next start is expected to be in Minnesota.

JP Sears SP | SD
Athletics' JP Sears: Rebounds against Blue Jays
Sears did not factor in the decision during Sunday's loss to Toronto. He allowed two runs on seven hits while striking out three over five frames.
Sears threw four shutout frames before the Blue Jays plated a pair of runs in the fifth inning. He was in line for his first win since April 28 before Toronto exploded with a six-run eighth inning. Sears gave up 15 runs in his previous two outings and posted an 8.37 ERA across five May appearances. He dropped his ERA to 5.05 with a 46:11 K:BB through 62.1 innings. Sears' next outing is expected to be a home matchup against the Orioles.

Corbin Burnes SP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Corbin Burnes: Dealing with elbow issue
Burnes (elbow) was removed from Sunday's 3-1 win over the Nationals due to right elbow inflammation, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports. He struck out six and allowed one run on four hits and one walk over 4.2 innings before leaving the game.
Burnes called for the team trainer after surrendering a two-out single on a cutter to CJ Abrams in the top of the fifth inning. Manager Torey Lovullo said following the contest that his concern level on the starter's elbow is "more than minimal," according to Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com. Burnes will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of the injury. If Burnes ends up landing on the injured list or misses his next start, the Diamondbacks would likely reopen a spot in the rotation for Ryne Nelson, who had been expected to shift to the bullpen with Eduardo Rodriguez (shoulder) due to return from the IL this week.

Eury Perez SP | MIA
Marlins' Eury Perez: One more rehab start on tap
Perez (elbow) is scheduled to make his eighth rehab start Tuesday with Triple-A Jacksonville, FishOnFirst.com reports.
Perez turned in his best rehab outing yet with Jacksonville this past Wednesday, striking out four and inducing whiffs on seven of his 72 pitches while spinning five shutout innings. He'll look to push his pitch count up to the 75-to-85 range Tuesday, and if all goes well, it could be his final outing in the minors before making his return from the 60-day injured list. Perez has been sticking to a five-day rest schedule between his recent rehab starts, so if that pattern holds, he could make his 2025 Marlins debut June 9 in Pittsburgh.
