Dobbins did not factor into the decision in Monday's 3-1 victory over the Mets, allowing one run on five hits and one walk over 4.2 innings. He struck out two.

The rookie right-hander fired just 66 pitches as he was lifted with two runners on in the fifth inning so lefty reliever Justin Wilson could face Francisco Lindor. The lone blemish on Dobbins' line came earlier in the third via a Tyrone Taylor RBI single. Dobbins looks like he's going to stick in the Boston rotation given that he's pitched to a respectable 3.62 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 25:5 K:BB across 32.1 frames. He currently lines up to make his next start against the Orioles at home this weekend.

Castillo (4-3) yielded three hits over seven shutout frames while striking out five batters and picking up a win against the White Sox on Monday

Castillo was dominant in picking up his first win since April 26. He allowed just one runner to reach scoring position and retired the final 14 batters he faced. Castillo threw 64 of 94 pitches for strikes and did not issue a free pass after walking at least two batters in each of his first nine appearances. He's given up two or fewer runs in eight of his 10 starts this season but has completed at least seven innings just twice. He'll carry a 3.20 ERA into his next matchup, which is projected to be in Houston this weekend.

Senga (4-3) took the loss in Monday's game at Boston. He conceded three runs on five hits and three walks over six innings with five strikeouts.

With this 100-pitch effort, Senga collected his fourth quality start of the season. The New York right-hander yielded a season-worst three runs in this start, raising his ERA from 1.02 to 1.43. Through 50.1 innings, Senga has pitched to a fantastic 2.85 FIP, 1.19 WHIP and 47:22 K:BB. The 32-year-old is currently scheduled to make his next start against the vaunted Dodgers at home this weekend.

Kloffenstein (shoulder) has posted a 2.38 ERA and 1.94 WHIP with a 15:9 K:BB across 11.1 innings so far this season at Triple-A Buffalo.

Kloffenstein began the 2025 campaign on the injured list due to right shoulder fatigue. He'd looked sharp up until his last outing Saturday against Worcester, when he surrendered three runs on three hits and seven walks over 2.2 innings, his first earned runs allowed on the year.

Pepiot did not factor in the decision during Monday's loss to Houston. He allowed three runs on eight hits and a walk over six innings while striking out two.

Pepiot's start was better than the final line would suggest, outside of a three-run second inning by the Astros. All three runs came with two outs in the frame, starting with a solo shot by Victor Caratini. Pepiot has now produced six quality starts in 10 appearances this season, including three straight and five in his last six outings. Despite the overall consistency, he owns a disappointing 3.99 ERA with a 47:18 K:BB through 56.1 frames. Pepiot is currently lined up for a home start against Toronto this weekend.

Gordon did not factor in the decision during Monday's win over the Rays. He allowed three runs on five hits over 5.1 innings while striking out seven.

Gordon worked through four scoreless frames before coughing up a two-run shot to Danny Jansen in the fifth inning. Jose Caballero later knocked an RBI double in the sixth. Gordon generated eight whiffs on 83 total pitches after getting just two swinging strikes in his MLB debut. He's allowed three runs in each of his first two MLB starts, resulting in a 5.59 ERA over 9.2 frames. Should he see another turn in the rotation, Gordon would likely slot in at home against the Mariners this weekend.

Cabrera did not factor into the decision in Monday's 8-7 win over the Cubs, allowing three runs on five hits and one walk over five innings. He struck out seven.

The Miami right-hander returned from a nail injury to make his first start since May 10. Cabrera showed no ill effects of the injury and generated a solid 15 whiffs out of 90 total pitches. All of the runs he conceded came on one swing of the bat when he yielded a three-run homer to Miguel Amaya in the fourth. Through 34.1 innings, Cabrera now sports a 5.50 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 33:14 K:BB. He is currently slated to make his next start at the Angels this weekend.

Brown took a no-decision in Monday's 8-7 loss at Miami, allowing six runs on seven hits and no walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out eight.

Things were rough out the gate for Brown, as he yielded back-to-back homers to Jesus Sanchez and Agustin Ramirez to open the first frame. The Chicago right-hander was then cruising, as evidenced by his impressive 16 whiffs in 83 total pitches, until the fifth inning, when the Marlins plated four additional runs. Brown's inconsistent season continues with his ERA now standing at 5.44 through 46.1 innings; however, the 25-year-old has also pitched to a 3.50 FIP and 58:16 K:BB. He currently lines up to make his next start at Cincinnati this weekend.

Lodolo (4-4) collected the win Monday at Pittsburgh, allowing one run on four hits and one walk over six innings with seven strikeouts.

After allowing a first-inning RBI double to Joey Bart, Lodolo stymied the Pirates en route to his sixth quality start of the season. The Cincinnati southpaw efficiently worked through six frames in 89 pitches, generating a solid 12 whiffs. Across 58.2 total innings, Lodolo has pitched to a 3.22 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 49:10 K:BB. He will face a much tougher test this weekend in his next start, currently scheduled to be at home against the Cubs, who have scored the second-most runs in MLB.

Keller (1-6) took the loss Monday against the Reds, allowing two runs (one earned) on six hits and one walk over six innings. He struck out five.

The 29-year-old notched his third consecutive quality start, all of which have been losses as the Pittsburgh offense has scored two runs over those contests, with this 91-pitch performance. Keller has been a dependable starter since a seven-run disaster against the Yankees on April 4, pitching to a 3.17 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 40:12 K:BB across 46.1 innings since then. Overall, the right-hander now sports a 3.88 ERA and 3.42 FIP through 58 frames. Keller is currently slated to make his next start at home against the Brewers this weekend.
