Mitchell Parker RP | WAS
Nationals' Mitchell Parker: Rough opening frame
Parker did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Mets, allowing seven runs (six earned) on seven hits and five walks over five innings.
While Parker's final line was disappointing, the left-hander did good work to make it through five innings after allowing five runs on 43 pitches in the first. Parker had held opponents to one run or fewer in four of his first five starts coming into Sunday -- his ERA now sits at 2.65 with a 1.13 WHIP and 20:16 K:BB across 37.1 innings. Parker's currently lined up for a road matchup with the Reds in his next outing.

Osvaldo Bido RP | CHW
Athletics' Osvaldo Bido: Decent in no-decision
Bido took a no-decision Sunday against the White Sox, allowing one run on five hits and two walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out one.
The 29-year-old right-hander faired well in this 90-pitch outing, firing 58 strikes. The lone blemish on Bido's performance was a leadoff 400-foot home run surrendered to Joshua Palacios to open the game, which is the third straight start in which he's allowed a homer. Through 31.1 innings, Bido has pitched to a 4.88 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 17:12 K:BB. He currently lines up to make his next start against the Marlins in Miami next weekend.

Davis Martin SP | CHW
White Sox's Davis Martin: Pitches well in bulk role
Martin did not factor into the decision in Sunday's extra-inning loss to the Athletics, allowing three hits and two walks over six scoreless innings. He struck out five.
After Jonathan Cannon looked sharp behind an opener Saturday, the White Sox found success again in having Martin pitch after opener Brandon Eisert. Despite generating only five whiffs, Martin looked solid and produced his first scoreless appearance of the season. With this 73-pitch effort, the Chicago right-hander lowered his season ERA from 3.95 to 3.24 across 33.1 innings. It wouldn't be surprising to see the White Sox deploy Martin in a bulk role again for his next rotation turn, which currently lines up to be against the Astros at home next weekend.

Mike Soroka SP | ARI
Nationals' Michael Soroka: Builds up to 78 pitches
Soroka (biceps) allowed two earned runs on four hits and a while striking out four over 4.1 innings during his rehab start with Double-A Harrisburg on Sunday.
The right-hander built up to 78 pitches in his second rehab outing, though he didn't quite reach the goal of five innings. Even so, Soroka may be built up enough to make his next start with the Nationals, though he'll need to rejoin the big club to be evaluated before any decision is made. If cleared to return from the 15-day injured list, he's likely to pitch next weekend in Cincinnati.

Nick Lodolo SP | CIN
Reds' Nick Lodolo: Dazzles in third win
Lodolo (3-2) picked up the win Sunday at Colorado, allowing two hits and one walk over seven scoreless innings. He struck out nine.
The Cincinnati southpaw had no trouble in the thin Coors Field air, efficiently picking up his fourth quality start on just 91 pitches. Lodolo completely silenced the Rockies, scattering two singles and generating 15 whiffs. The 27-year-old has been fantastic to open the season, pitching to a 2.25 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 27:5 K:BB across 36 innings. He is currently scheduled to make his next start against the Nationals at home next weekend.

Tyler Glasnow SP | LAD
Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: Managing shoulder issue
Glasnow was removed from Sunday's start against the Pirates due to right shoulder discomfort, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
Glasnow threw 17 pitches and surrendered two solo homers during the opening frame, but he didn't seem to be in any visible discomfort until he began throwing his warm-up tosses for the second inning. The right-hander also left his start last weekend with lower leg cramps, but this is a much more concerning diagnosis. Glasnow should be considered day-to-day for now, but any arm issue puts his availability for the next turn through the rotation up in the air.

Tyler Glasnow SP | LAD
Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: Again departs with injury
Glasnow was removed from Sunday's start against the Pirates due to an apparent injury, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.
The right-hander exited his previous start last weekend due to cramps in his right lower leg, but it's unclear exactly what prompted his departure from Sunday's contest after throwing some warmup tosses ahead of the second inning. Glasnow surrendered a pair of solo homers during the opening frame before leaving the contest.

Dean Kremer SP | MIN
Orioles' Dean Kremer: Takes fourth loss
Kremer (2-4) took the loss Saturday against the Tigers, allowing five runs on four hits and four walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out three.
It's already the fourth time in six starts that Kremer has allowed more than five earned runs. His ERA now sits at 7.04 with a 1.57 WHIP and 20:8 K:BB across 30.2 innings. The 29-year-old right-hander will look to get on track in his next outing, which tentatively lines up for next weekend against Kansas City.
-
Tarik Skubal SP | LAD
Tigers' Tarik Skubal: Blanks Baltimore
Skubal (3-2) earned the win Sunday over the Orioles, allowing four hits across six scoreless innings. He struck out 11.
It was another stellar outing from Skubal, who logged double-digit strikeouts for the first time this season. The reigning AL Cy Young winner has held opponents scoreless in three of his first six starts -- his ERA is down to 2.34 with a 1.04 WHIP and 40:5 K:BB over 34.2 innings. Skubal will look to keep rolling in his next outing, currently scheduled for next week against the Angels.

Jose Soriano SP | TOR
Angels' Jose Soriano: Drops third straight
Soriano (2-4) took the loss Sunday against the Twins, allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out four.
Soriano held Minnesota to just one run through his first five innings, though he'd allow the first three men to reach in the sixth, ultimately resulting in three more runs (two earned) on his final line. Soriano has dropped three consecutive outings after starting the year 2-1 with a 2.70 ERA in his first three starts. His ERA now sits at 4.50 through six starts (34 innings) with a 1.47 WHIP and 26:15 K:BB. Soriano currently lines up to face the Tigers at home in his next start.
