  • Zack Wheeler SP | PHI

    Phillies' Zack Wheeler: Seven shutout innings in win

    Wheeler (4-1) allowed three hits and two walks while striking out eight over seven shutout innings to earn the win over the Guardians on Sunday.

    Wheeler kept runs off the board for the first time in nine starts this season. It's also the fifth time he's allowed five or fewer baserunners, and he earned his seventh quality start. Wheeler has been in nearly peak form with a 2.95 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 74:11 K:BB across 58 innings this season. He's got a favorable matchup ahead, as he's projected to start at home versus the Pirates in his next outing.

  • Luis Ortiz SP | CLE

    Guardians' Luis L. Ortiz: Hard-luck loss Sunday

    Ortiz (2-4) allowed one run on four hits and two walks while striking out nine over six innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Phillies.

    Ortiz logged his third quality start of the season, with the lone blemish being a Kyle Schwarber solo shot in the second inning. Two of those quality starts have been in Ortiz's last three outings, though he had a clunker in between those efforts by allowing six runs (five earned) to the Nationals on Tuesday. Ortiz's overall numbers are still rather pedestrian -- he's at a 4.78 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 49:21 K:BB through 43.1 innings over eight starts, but he has shown flashes of potential. The 26-year-old's next start is projected to be at Cincinnati.

  • Zac Gallen SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Zac Gallen: Knocked around by Dodgers

    Gallen (3-5) allowed four runs on 10 hits and two walks while striking out five over 5.2 innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Dodgers.

    Gallen was able to keep the ball down on his watch, but the Dodgers still scraped together plenty of offense. After allowing just two runs over his previous 13 innings, this was a step back for Gallen, though it was far from a disaster. The veteran right-hander now has a 4.59 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 54:23 K:BB across 51 innings through nine starts this season. He's got a favorable matchup ahead, as he's projected for a home start against the Rockies when he next takes the mound.

  • Dodgers' Tony Gonsolin: Tosses five scoreless frames

    Gonsolin (2-0) allowed three hits and two walks while striking out four over five scoreless innings to earn the win Sunday over the Diamondbacks.

    Gonsolin landed just 48 of 84 pitches for strikes but still put together a strong start. It was his first scoreless outing in 2025, and he's now at a 2.81 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 21:4 K:BB across 16 innings through three starts. Gonsolin is providing quality innings for a Dodger rotation that's been battered by injuries in the early going. His next start is projected to be at home versus the Angels.

  • Tyler Anderson SP | LAA

    Angels' Tyler Anderson: Handed first loss

    Anderson (2-1) took the loss Sunday against the Orioles, allowing three runs (one earned) on four hits and two walks while striking out five in five innings.

    Anderson got tagged in the opening frame for a double and a triple (one of the hits dropped after it was lost in the sun) but escaped allowing only one run after punching out a pair. Anderson kept the Orioles at bay over the next three frames, but an error to begin the fifth awarded them two unearned runs before his day was done. It was his first time in his last five starts not reaching six innings but also his first time since April 18 not allowing a home run. Anderson's allowed three runs or fewer in every outing thus far but will have his hands full against the Dodgers on the road over the weekend.

  • Bryce Miller SP | SEA

    Mariners' Bryce Miller: Worst start of season

    Miller (2-4) allowed seven runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out three over five-plus innings to take the loss versus the Blue Jays on Sunday.

    Miller struggled throughout the 92-pitch outing, though the game didn't get out of hand until he allowed a three-run home run to George Springer in the fifth inning. The seven runs allowed were a season high for Miller, who has also given up four runs on three other occasions. He's now at a 5.22 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 35:21 K:BB through 39.2 innings over eight starts, and he's yet to complete six innings in any of them. He's tentatively projected to make his next start on the road in San Diego.

  • Jose Urena SP | LAA

    Blue Jays' Jose Urena: Limited usage in second start

    Urena allowed one run on two hits and a walk while failing to record a strikeout over two-plus innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Sunday.

    Urena was making his second start with the Blue Jays after giving up two runs over 4.1 innings to the Angels on Tuesday. He made it just once through the Mariners' lineup Sunday, which looks like it may have been planned -- he threw 31 pitches (19 strikes) in this outing compared to 74 pitches Tuesday. The Blue Jays have yet to reveal their pitching plans for the week ahead, but it's possible Urena could be shifting into an opener or piggyback role rather than functioning as a traditional starter.

  • Zach Eflin SP | BAL

    Orioles' Zach Eflin: Picks up win in return

    Eflin (3-1) got the win Sunday against the Angels, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five in five innings.

    Eflin got off to a rocky start, allowing two runs in the opening frame before rebounding with four scoreless. Despite throwing only 58 pitches in his lone rehab start, Eflin worked up to 83 pitches and left in line for the win with the team up 3-2. He'd registered a quality start in all three of his outings prior to getting injured and lines up for a favorable home matchup against the Nationals over the weekend.

  • Blake Snell SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Blake Snell: Not yet throwing

    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Snell is still dealing with some discomfort in his left shoulder and wasn't able to resume playing catch Sunday as planned, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

    Snell appears to be stuck in a holding pattern in his recovery from left shoulder inflammation, which has kept him on the injured list since April 6. He had been able to resume throwing bullpen sessions less than two weeks after being shelved with the injury, but he experienced a setback in late April and received an injection in his shoulder to aid in his recovery. The injection doesn't appear to have resolved Snell's shoulder discomfort as quickly as anticipated, and the lefty is now set to meet with Dr. Neal ElAttrache on Monday before the Dodgers determine his next steps. Even if he receives a positive evaluation from Dr. ElAttrache, Snell would still seem to be multiple weeks away from returning from the IL.

  • Tyler Glasnow SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: Begins playing catch

    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed Sunday that Glasnow (shoulder) resumed playing catch, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

    After landing on the 15-day injured list April 28 due to right shoulder inflammation, Glasnow was shut down for just over a week and a half before he was cleared to begin a throwing program. Glasnow has a checkup with Dr. Neal ElAttrache scheduled for Monday, and a clearer timeline for his return from the IL could begin to come into focus following that meeting.
