Hughes allowed five runs on four hits and two walks while striking out seven over 5.1 innings in a no-decision Tuesday versus the Rays.

Hughes gave up all five runs in the third inning, highlighted by a Liam Hicks grand slam. This was Hughes' worst outing yet, though he was able to avoid a fourth consecutive loss with some help from the Rockies' offense. Hughes has pitched to a 4.25 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 28:9 K:BB through 29.2 innings over six games (five starts) in the majors. The rookie right-hander is projected to make his next start at Arizona.

Peralta allowed seven runs on nine hits and a walk while striking out three over 3.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Rockies on Tuesday.

Peralta's first outing for the Rays didn't go well, though this start came at Coors Field. The right-hander was acquired from the Mets on Sunday. Peralta has allowed at least five runs in four of his last eight outings, so there's a glaring consistency issue he'll need to work through with his new team. He's at a 5.37 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 116:49 K:BB through 117.1 innings over 23 starts this season. Peralta's next outing is expected to be in another hitter-friendly venue in Sacramento against the Athletics.

Jones (2-3) took the loss Tuesday against the Brewers, allowing three runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out four over four innings.

Jones was tagged for a solo homer by Jackson Chourio in the third inning before Andrew Vaughn led off the fourth with a solo shot of his own as part of a two-run frame. The right-hander matched his season-high pitch count of 83 but was only able to complete four innings. He has now taken a loss in consecutive starts. After missing all of 2025 while recovering from Tommy John surgery, Jones owns a 4.02 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 62:16 K:BB across 56 innings in his comeback campaign. He's slated to face the Mets at home Sunday in his next start.

Henderson (6-1) earned the win Tuesday against the Pirates, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk while striking out eight over six innings.

Henderson surrendered a solo homer to Jacob Gonzalez on the first pitch of the third inning before Endy Rodriguez led off the fifth with another solo shot. Aside from those two mistakes, the right-hander was in control and capped his outing by striking out the side in order on 13 pitches in the sixth. Henderson has now won six of his last seven major-league starts while posting a 2.19 ERA during that stretch. Through 10 total starts, he owns a 2.70 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and an impressive 11.2 K/9 across 50 innings. His next start is scheduled for Monday against the Padres.

Ryan (6-8) took the loss Tuesday against the Royals, allowing five runs (four earned) on seven hits and two walks while striking out three over 5.1 innings.

Kansas City wasted little time getting to Ryan, stringing together two singles and a double in the first inning to score twice. He settled in until the fifth, when Bobby Witt lined a two-run double and later scored to extend the Royals' lead. After posting an impressive 2.85 ERA with a 128:25 K:BB across 110.1 innings before the All-Star break, Ryan has unraveled in the second half, surrendering 17 runs (16 earned) while recording just 10 strikeouts over 15.1 innings in three starts. He now owns a 4.08 ERA and 1.15 WHIP across 125.2 innings this season and is tentatively scheduled to face the Brewers on Sunday.

Dobnak (2-0) earned the win Tuesday against the Twins, allowing one run on three hits and three walks while striking out one over five innings.

Dobnak surrendered just one hit through the first three innings before allowing a run in the fourth, when he loaded the bases before a sacrifice fly. The veteran right-hander has been especially outstanding for Kansas City lately, allowing only two runs across his last 27 innings. Through six appearances this season, Dobnak owns a 1.16 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 15:13 K:BB across 31 innings. His next chance to continue his unexpected success is scheduled to come Sunday against the Cubs.

Yesavage is scheduled to undergo an MRI on his left knee Wednesday, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

Yesavage said he felt a pinch in his knee while warming up for the third inning of Tuesday's tilt against Houston, which prompted an early exit from the game. It remains unknown whether he'll require a trip to the injured list, though his MRI results should provide some answers.

Bello earned his first career save Tuesday against the White Sox, striking out two over three hitless innings.

Bello entered in the seventh inning with an 11-run lead and made quick work of Chicago, throwing no more than 11 pitches in any of his three scoreless frames on the way to his first career save. Since being recalled July 12, Bello has allowed just one run across 16.2 innings while posting a 15:2 K:BB. Through seven starts and nine relief appearances for Boston this season, he owns a 5.10 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 59:26 K:BB over 77.2 innings.

Sandoval (1-0) earned the win Tuesday against the White Sox, allowing two runs on six hits and four walks while striking out five over five innings.

Sandoval worked around frequent traffic on the bases before Chicago finally broke through in the fifth inning with a sacrifice fly. He returned for the sixth but walked the leadoff batter, prompting his exit, and watched from the dugout as the inherited runner came around to score. Fortunately for the left-hander, Boston erupted for 13 runs through the first six innings, handing him his first win of the season on a silver platter. Sandoval has now completed at least five innings in three of his five starts with the Red Sox, posting a 3.38 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 25:10 K:BB across 24 innings. He's scheduled to face the Athletics in his next start Sunday.

Dobbins (2-2) took the loss against the Yankees on Tuesday, allowing two runs on four hits and three walks while striking out four across 6.1 innings.

Dobbins was called up from Triple-A Memphis on Monday as the Cardinals opted to expand their rotation to six starters, even after trading Dustin May to the Brewers. Dobbins pitched well Tuesday, with his two blemishes coming on solo home runs from Jazz Chisholm and George Lombard in the second and fifth innings, respectively. Unfortunately for Dobbins, he did not receive any run support from his Cardinals teammates in a 2-0 loss. Assuming he stays in St. Louis' rotation, his next start would be lined up for next week at home against the Phillies.
