Wrobleski (0-1) yielded eight runs on eight hits and three walks over five innings Tuesday, striking out four and taking a loss against Washington.

Wrobelski struggled out of the gate, coughing up a two-run homer to James Wood in the first inning. The Nationals plated three runs in the second and three more in the fourth, capped off by another Wood home run. Wrobelski posted a 5.70 ERA over 36.1 MLB innings in 2024. It's unclear if he'll stick with the big club or head back to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Lucas (2-0) yielded three hits and a walk over 5.1 innings Tuesday, striking out eight and earning a win over the Red Sox.

Lucas dominated on his way to a second straight win Tuesday. He allowed only one runner to reach scoring position while racking up a career-high eight punchouts. He threw 57 of 82 pitches and generated 12 swinging strikes. Lucas has thrown 10.1 shutout frames with an 11:3 K:BB in two starts. He's currently in line to start in Baltimore this weekend.

Crochet (1-1) yielded four runs (one earned) on five hits and four walks over 5.2 innings Tuesday, striking out five and taking a loss against Toronto.

Crochet rolled through five scoreless frames before unraveling in the sixth inning. He coughed up a solo homer to George Springer before the Blue Jays scored three unearned runs in the inning. Crochet threw a career-high 107 pitches (65 strikes) and forced 11 whiffs. Despite the shaky performance, he owns a 1.45 ERA with a 17:7 K:BB through three starts. Crochet's next outing is projected to be on the road for his first career matchup against the White Sox.

Sale (0-1) didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Phillies. He allowed five runs on nine hits while striking out five across 4.2 innings.

Sale gave up three runs in the third inning, and the veteran southpaw allowed a fifth run in the fifth frame on a 462-foot solo homer to center field from Kyle Schwarber. Sale managed to generate 60 strikes on 86 pitches (including 15 whiffs) and has logged 17 strikeouts over his first three starts, but he's also registered a 6.75 ERA and 1.36 WHIP across 14.2 innings. He's tentatively slated to face the Rays on the road this weekend, when he'll look to earn his first win of the 2025 campaign.

Freeland (0-2) took the loss Tuesday against the Brewers, giving up five runs on eight hits and no walks while striking out five in 6.1 innings.

Milwaukee first got to Freeland in the second inning, touching up the left-hander for four runs courtesy of a Jackson Chourio two-run double and one-run singles by William Contreras single and Sal Frelick. Freeland righted the ship for three scoreless frames afterward, but a Brice Turang home run in the seventh sent the southpaw packing Tuesday. Freeland has now gone at least six innings in each of his first three starts while working to a 3.79 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and a pristine 15:0 K:BB across 19 frames, but he'll face a difficult task in San Diego for his next scheduled start over the weekend.

Peralta (1-1) got the win Tuesday against the Rockies after allowing one run on three hits and three walks in five innings. He struck out six.

Besides a solo homer by Brenton Doyle in the third inning, it was smooth sailing for Peralta, as he gained his first win of the year despite having to work at hitter-friendly Coors Field. Through 18 innings (three starts) to open the campaign, the star right-hander now totes a strong 2.00 ERA, 0.72 WHIP and 22:4 K:BB. On tap for Peralta is another tough draw in Arizona for his next scheduled start this weekend.

Gillispie (0-1) did not factor into the decision against the Mets on Tuesday. He gave up two runs on three hits and one walk while striking out two over four innings.

Tuesday was the second straight start against the Mets for Gillispie, and for a second consecutive time he came away with a no-decision as Calvin Faucher was tagged with the loss. Gillispie tossed 74 pitches (43 strikes) but was unable to reach five innings of work after doing so in each of his first two starts of the 2025 season, and he's begun the year with a 3.27 ERA and 1.14 WHIP across 22 frames. With the Marlins slated for two off-days over the next week, Gillispie may not take the mound again until next weekend's series against the Phillies.

Corbin didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Cubs, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks with no strikeouts in four innings.

Corbin had a rough second inning in his Rangers debut, giving up a leadoff homer to Dansby Swanson and a two-run single to Seiya Suzuki. The veteran left-hander tossed three scoreless innings otherwise, and he was able to throw 74 pitches before his night came to an end. Corbin could have some deep-league streaming appeal at home against the Angels in his next scheduled start, which lines up for early next week.

Taillon didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Rangers after allowing three runs on five hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out six.

After allowing Jonah Heim to plate a pair of runs on a single in the second inning, Taillon served up a solo homer to Wyatt Langford in the third frame. Despite the early struggles, the veteran right-hander settled in to throw three scoreless innings thereafter to register a quality start and was in line for the win before the Cubs relinquished a 6-3 lead in the eighth. Taillon will take a 6.06 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 14:4 K:BB over 16.1 innings (three starts) into a tougher matchup in San Diego for his next scheduled start, which is tentatively set for early next week.

Holmes (1-1) came away with the win against the Marlins on Tuesday. He gave up four runs on five hits and three walks while striking out 10 across 5.1 innings.

Holmes got off to a rough start by allowing two runs in the first inning, but he was nearly flawless over the next four frames, striking out nine batters over that span. He was tagged for two more runs in the sixth, but the Mets were able to generate enough offense for Holmes to log his first win of the 2025 campaign. In his first three starts of 2025, Holmes has a 4.30 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 20:9 K:BB across 14.2 innings. His next start is tentatively slated for next week on the road against the Twins.
