Falter (1-3) yielded seven runs (five earned) on eight hits and two walks over 4.1 innings Sunday, striking out two and taking a loss against the Dodgers.

Falter struggled right out of the gate Sunday, coughing up four runs in the first inning and another in the second. He settled in for a bit until the Dodgers plated three more runs in the fifth frame, with two being charged to the left-hander. It's the second time that Falter has allowed seven runs in a start this season and his ERA jumped to 5.93 through 30.1 innings. He's projected for a home matchup with the Padres next weekend.

Allen (1-2) took the loss against the Red Sox on Sunday, allowing seven runs on nine hits and three walks with two strikeouts over 4.1 innings.

Allen had allowed only five earned runs across his first four starts of the year but couldn't escape a four-run fifth inning Sunday. The southpaw struggled to put hitters away, throwing just 57 of 96 pitches for strikes with 10 whiffs. He'll take a 4.21 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 18:13 K:BB across 25.2 innings into a road matchup with the Blue Jays next weekend.

Schmidt did not factor into the decision in the Yankees' 5-1 win over the Blue Jays in Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader. He allowed one run on one hit and four walks while striking out six over five innings.

Schmidt limited the Blue Jays to five baserunners while generating 14 whiffs on 90 pitches (52 strikes), and his lone blemish came in the third inning on an Anthony Santander solo home run. It was Schimdt's best start since being activated from the 15-day injured list April 16, and through three starts he has a 5.52 ERA and 1.43 WHIP over 14.2 innings. Schmidt will look for his first win of 2025 next weekend at home against Tampa Bay.

Bello (2-0) earned the win against the Guardians on Sunday, allowing three runs on six hits and three walks with four strikeouts over six innings.

Bello was given an early lead and ran with it before surrendering a three-run homer in the sixth inning. The 25-year-old threw 61 of 99 pitches for strikes while generating 10 whiffs, turning in his second straight solid effort since returning from the injured list. He owns a 3.27 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 7:6 K:BB across 11 innings and lines up for a home matchup with the Twins next weekend.

Bassitt (2-2) came away with the loss in Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Yankees, allowing four runs on six hits and one walk while striking out five over 5.2 innings.

Bassitt gave up a leadoff homer to Trent Grisham to open the outing, but the former settled in keep the Yankees off the board over the next four frames. However, things fell apart in the sixth for Bassitt, as he was tagged for three more runs, including a solo home run by Aaron Judge. Bassitt allowed just two earned runs over his first four starts of the season, but he has given up eight runs over his last two outings and is up to a 2.62 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 39:7 K:BB across 34.1 innings. He's lined up to face the Guardians at home next weekend.

Fried (5-0) earned the win in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Blue Jays, allowing one run on six hits and two walks while striking out three over six innings.

Fried gave up two hits and two walks in the first frame but limited the damage to one run. He settled in over the next five innings and retired the last eight batters he faced (including three strikeouts) to earn his fourth quality start of the season. Fried has a 1.43 ERA and 1.06 WHIP, which ranks third and 14th in the American League, respectively, among qualified starters. He'll look for a sixth-straight win in his next start, tentatively slated for next weekend at home against the Rays.

Gausman (2-3) took the loss in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Yankees, allowing six runs on three hits and five walks while striking out two over 2.2 innings.

Gausman got through the first two innings with relative ease but ran into trouble in the third. He issued a single and five walks (including two with the bases loaded) before giving up a bases-clearing double to Austin Wells that gave the Yankees a 6-1 lead. Gausman tossed 53 of his 71 pitches in the third inning before being lifted, and he was subsequently ejected for arguing balls and strikes from the dugout. He has now allowed 10 runs and walked eight batters in his past two starts. The right-hander is up to a 4.50 ERA and 1.03 WHIP through 34 innings.

Glasnow could be set for a stint on the injured list after exiting Sunday's start against the Pirates due to right shoulder discomfort, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

The right-hander described the injury as something that "kind of comes and goes," and he felt it grab at him while warming up for his second inning on the mound. Manager Dave Roberts said that he's more worried about Glasnow in the short-term than the long-term, suggesting that he believes the issue to be a minor concern. That being said, Roberts outlined that a stint on the IL is "certainly a possibility" for Glasnow, per Benjamin Royer of L.A. Times Sports. The 31-year-old will likely undergo additional imaging on his shoulder in the near future.

Kirby (shoulder) will throw a live batting practice Monday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Kirby will face live hitters for the first time since being shut down due to right shoulder inflammation March 7. The right-hander will need a substantial build up before making his return to the Mariners' rotation, but Monday's session is a substantial step in his recovery. Kirby produced a 3.53 ERA and 1.07 WHIP with a career-high 179 strikeouts over 191 innings in 33 starts last season.

Megill didn't factor into the decision Sunday against the Nationals, allowing three runs on three hits and one walk over 6.1 innings. He struck out nine.

Megill held the Nats to one run on just one hit (a Dylan Crews homer -- the first given up by Megill this season) through his first six innings. However, he'd allow two more hits in the seventh before turning it over to Jose Butto out of the bullpen, who allowed both inherited runners to score. Still, it's the first time Megill has made it through six innings this year, and he's yet to allow more than three earned runs in a start. His ERA sits at a sparkling 1.74 with a 1.13 WHIP and 39:12 K:BB across six outings (31 innings).
