Severino allowed four runs on five hits and four walks while striking out five over six innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Monday.

Severino gave up all four runs in the third inning, but the Athletics quickly got him off the hook by tying the game in the fourth. The four walks matched his season high, and it was the first time in five starts Severino had allowed four or more runs. The right-hander has a 3.62 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 38:17 K:BB over 49.2 innings across eight starts this season. His next start is projected to be at home against one of his former teams, the Yankees, this weekend.

Mlodzinski allowed two runs on four hits and no walks while striking out two batters over 4.2 innings in a no-decision against St. Louis on Monday.

Mlodzinski allowed just four hits in the outing, but two of those were solo homers. That was the extent of the damage against the righty, who exited after 4.2 frames having thrown 88 pitches (53 of which were strikes). Mlodzinski has looked a little better in his past two starts, but he still holds an ugly 6.16 ERA on the campaign and has managed to complete five innings just twice through seven starts. His next trip to the mound is lined up to come at home against Atlanta.

Mikolas allowed three runs on four hits and three walks while striking out one batter over five innings in a no-decision against Pittsburgh on Monday.

Mikolas fell behind early, giving up a two-run homer in the first inning, but yielded just one more run over the remainder of his outing. As usual, the right-hander didn't do much in the strikeout department -- he had just one punchout Monday and is sporting a paltry 4.8 K/9 on the campaign, fifth-lowest among pitchers who have faced at least 100 batters. The lack of strikeouts is an obvious detriment to Mikolas' value in fantasy, and he hasn't done much to compensate for that flaw, as he holds a 4.76 ERA and 1.35 WHIP through 34 innings on the season.

Canning (5-1) allowed a run on six hits and a walk while striking out six over five innings to earn the win over the Diamondbacks on Monday.

Canning's second pitch of the outing was taken deep by Corbin Carroll. Other than that, it was another respectable start for Canning, who avoided walking multiple batters for the second time in seven starts this season. He wasn't quite at his best, but he was good enough to earn a fifth straight win. Over 36 innings this season, he has a strong 2.50 ERA, but his 1.39 WHIP and 37:15 K:BB are not as encouraging. Canning has made improvements by inducing more groundballs -- per Statcast, he's at a 51.7 percent groundball rate in his first year with the Mets compared to 41.3 percent in 2024 with the Angels. Canning's next start is projected to be this weekend at home versus the Cubs.

Roupp (2-3) took the loss against the Cubs on Monday, allowing four runs (two earned) on five hits and no walks while striking out four batters.

Roupp demonstrated good control, throwing 57 of 77 pitches for strikes, but he didn't miss many bats, notching just five whiffs. The right-hander gave up a two-run homer to Ian Happ in the third inning, and the other pair of runs he allowed were both unearned. Though Roupp took the loss, he at least pitched better than in his previous two starts -- in those outings, he allowed nine runs (seven earned) over eight frames while walking six batters. He's so far managed to hang onto a rotation spot despite posting a subpar 4.89 ERA and 1.54 WHIP over 35 innings.

Boyd (3-2) earned the win over San Francisco on Monday, allowing two runs on five hits and no walks while striking out seven batters over six innings.

The only runs Boyd allowed came on a Luis Matos homer in the fourth inning. The left-handed hurler was otherwise excellent, finishing with 16 whiffs and tying a season high with seven punchouts. Boyd also didn't walk a batter for the first time this season and notched his fourth quality start through seven outings. He now has a 37:13 K:BB over 39.1 frames along with a 2.75 ERA and 1.35 WHIP. Boyd's next start is projected to be a tough road matchup against the Mets.

Blanco (2-3) took the loss against Milwaukee on Monday, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out six batters over six innings.

Blanco pitched well enough to notch a quality start, but the Astros managed just one run against Brewers starter Tobias Myers and four relievers. Blanco impressed with 14 whiffs and threw 19 of 26 first pitches for strikes but was done in by a rough third inning during which he gave up all three of his runs, two of which came on a Christian Yelich homer. The right-hander has completed at least five innings and yielded three or fewer runs in each of his past five starts, and he's projected to face Cincinnati the next time he takes the mound.

Myers (1-0) earned the win over Houston on Monday, allowing one run on six hits and no walks while striking out two batters over 5.1 innings.

Myers breezed through five scoreless frames before running into trouble in the sixth. He yielded three hits in that inning and departed with the bases loaded and one out, but Milwaukee's bullpen was able to help him escape with just one run on his ledger. The right-hander wasn't overpowering with a modest seven whiffs and two punchouts, but he had excellent control, tossing 58 of 80 pitches for strikes. This was just the fourth outing of the season for Myers, and his third start -- in his previous appearance, he tossed one inning out of the bullpen. He's registered a 3.65 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 8:7 K:BB through 12.1 frames and is lined up face Tampa Bay on the road in his next start.

Pivetta did not factor in the decision during Monday's win over the Yankees. He gave up three runs (two earned) on five hits and four walks over five-plus innings while striking out five.

Pivetta wasn't very effective Monday, needing 91 pitches (57 strikes) to complete five frames. Most of the damage against him came on Trent Grisham's two-run shot in the third inning. It was Pivetta's first time walking more than three batters in a start this season and he now owns a 44:12 K:BB with a stellar 2.01 ERA through seven outings. After three straight quality starts, he's failed to complete six innings in back-to-back appearances. Pivetta's next start is projected to be in Colorado this weekend.

Rodon did not factor in the decision during Monday's loss to the Padres. He allowed three hits and a walk over 6.2 shutout innings while striking out five.

Rodon was dominant Monday; he did not give up an extra-base hit and only one Padre reached scoring position with him on the mound. He was in line for his fifth win of the season before San Diego posted a four-run eighth inning to win 4-3. Rodon has given up two or fewer runs in four straight starts, dropping his season ERA from 5.48 to 2.96 in the process. He also completed at least six frames in each of those four outings. Rodon will look to ride the momentum into his next matchup, which is lined up to be on the road against the Athletics this weekend.
