Flaherty (1-2) yielded two runs on five hits over six innings Tuesday, striking out nine and taking a loss against the Padres.

The lone blemish on Flaherty's night was the two-run shot he allowed to Elias Diaz in the second inning. San Diego's offense provided no nothing in the 2-0 contest, leading to Flaherty being handed a loss. It was his first time completing six innings this season, and he tied his season best with nine punchouts. Flaherty forced 17 whiffs, including 10 with the knuckle curve. He'll carry a 2.63 ERA into his next matchup, which is lined up to come in Houston next week.

Kremer (2-3) took the loss against the Nationals on Tuesday, allowing six runs (five earned) on 11 hits while striking out four across 5.1 innings. He did not issue a walk.

Kremer put the Orioles behind in the first inning when he gave up a two-run homer to Nathaniel Lowe. Following a wild pitch in the second inning that yielded another run, Kremer was able to retire nine of the next 10 batters he faced before allowing three more runs across the fifth and sixth frames. The 29-year-old right-hander has allowed five earned runs in three of his five starts this season and has a 6.34 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 17:4 K:BB across 25 innings. Kremer will look look to rebound in his next start, slated for this weekend at Comerica Park against the Tigers.

Parker (3-1) earned the win against the Orioles on Tuesday, allowing one hit and two walks while striking out four across eight scoreless innings.

Parker made it through eight innings while tossing 99 pitches (69 strikes), yielding only three baserunners while retiring the final 17 batters he faced. Parker has a quality start in all five appearances this season, and his efforts Tuesday lowered his ERA to 1.39, which is fourth best in the National League. The 25-year-old southpaw is slated for a home matchup against the Mets this weekend for his next start.

Gonsolin (back) is scheduled to start for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.

Gonsolin tossed four innings in his last rehab outing with Oklahoma City last Tuesday, and Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters he wants the 30-year-old right-hander to pitch into the fifth inning Wednesday, per Moreno. Gonsolin has made three appearances during his rehab assignment, logging a 3.00 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 13:4 K:BB across nine innings. He's in the final stages of his recovery from a back injury that he suffered in early March.

Sanchez was removed from Tuesday's game against the Mets due to left forearm soreness, Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Sanchez made it through only two innings before exiting the game, during which he gave up two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out two batters. It's currently unknown if his injury will prevent him from making his next start, though two days off in the next week for Philadelphia will give the 28-year-old southpaw extra time to recover.

Gipson-Long (elbow/hip) will throw a live batting practice session Thursday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

It would appear to be the first time Gipson-Long has faced hitters since he underwent Tommy John surgery last April and left hip surgery last July. The right-hander could conceivably be ready to contribute for the Tigers around midseason, but he still has a long way to go in his rehab program.

Strider was diagnosed with a Grade 1 strain of his right hamstring Tuesday, and his return timeline is expected to be determined over the next couple weeks, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

It's an encouraging diagnosis after Strider landed on the injured list Monday, though he still seems set to spend more than the 15-day minimum on the shelf. After recovering from the internal brace procedure he underwent on his elbow last year, the right-hander was able to make just one start in 2025 before suffering the hamstring injury.

Garcia (elbow) played catch at Daikin Park on Tuesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

The right-hander was diagnosed with right elbow inflammation in early April, the latest in a series of setbacks suffered by Garcia as he comes back from May 2023 Tommy John surgery. Previous reports indicated that Garcia would remain shut down until early May, so it appears he might be a bit ahead of schedule. Still, it's way too soon for any sort of timetable for the righty to be established.

Perez (elbow) is not expected to return this season, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

The specifics on Perez's left elbow injury remain scarce, with Rogers reporting only that the southpaw will not undergo Tommy John surgery. However, Rogers adds that Perez will not throw again until September, at the earliest, and after that long of a layoff he will not have time to make it back on a major-league mound in 2025. Perez will become a free agent this offseason after a $10 million mutual option for 2026 is officially declined.

The Tigers optioned Montero to Triple-A Toledo on Monday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Montero made two starts during his time in the majors, allowing nine runs (eight earned) with an 11:5 K:BB over 9.1 innings. He's being replaced on the roster by reliever Chase Lee.
