Urena (4-4) allowed three hits and issued five walks while striking out seven batters over five scoreless innings to earn the win over Houston on Tuesday.

The Angels sprinted out to a 7-0 lead by the end of the second inning, giving Urena plenty of runaway to record the victory. However, the right-hander battled his control, and he ran his pitch count up so high that it wasn't certain he'd stick around long enough to qualify for the win. Manager Kurt Suzuki ultimately let Urena sweat out five innings, over which he threw a whopping 107 pitches (only 59 of which were strikes). Control issues aside, Urena looked good in holding Houston scoreless while registering seven punchouts. The rookie's 1.36 WHIP is somewhat worrying, but he's still managed to post a strong 2.44 ERA through 55.1 frames on the season.

Rea (5-4) took the loss against Colorado on Tuesday, allowing seven runs on nine hits and three walks while striking out two batters over 4.2 innings.

Rea fell behind quickly when he gave up a two-run home run to Hunter Goodman in the first inning. The Rockies got to him for three more runs in the second, with Ezequiel Tovar contributing a solo homer, and Chicago never got close after that. The seven earned runs Rea allowed were a season-worst mark, and the veteran hurler ended with more walks (three) than punchouts (two) while notching just five whiffs. His season ERA jumped up to an undesirable 5.19, which is accompanied by a 1.43 WHIP and 54:25 K:BB through 69.1 innings across 14 appearances (11 starts).

Peralta (4-5) took the loss Tuesday against St. Louis, surrendering six runs on six hits and two walks while striking out five across six innings.

A disastrous third inning did Peralta in as five batters reached base, leading to a four-run frame that put St. Louis firmly in control. The right-hander compounded the damage in the fifth when Alec Burleson launched a two-run homer to extend the lead. The six runs allowed were a season high, but Peralta continued his streak of having surpassed 90 pitches in each of his last 13 starts. He now owns a 4.04 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 79:32 K:BB across 78 innings. Peralta is scheduled to make his next start at home against Atlanta.

Sugano (6-4) earned the win over the Cubs on Tuesday, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three batters over five-plus innings.

Sugano cruised through five frames, allowing just one run. He remained in the game to begin the sixth and gave up a homer to Michael Busch followed by an Alex Bregman single before getting pulled. Though Bregman eventually came around to score, Sugano got enough support to notch the victory. The right-hander has now yielded three or fewer runs in five straight starts, compiling a decent 4.10 ERA across 26.1 frames during that span. He's been a steady but unspectacular part of the Rockies' rotation, posting a 4.08 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 39:20 K:BB through 68.1 innings spanning 13 starts. Sugano's home park and low strikeout numbers greatly dampen his appeal in fantasy.

May (4-6) earned the win Tuesday against the Mets, tossing six scoreless innings on four hits and one walk while striking out six.

May was at his best Tuesday, working a season-high 101 pitches with 70 going for strikes and racking up an impressive 31 called and swinging strikes. It was the right-hander's first scoreless start of 2026, and he's now recorded a quality start in eight of his last 11 outings. May now owns a 4.21 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 66:20 K:BB through 72.2 innings and lines up for a home outing against San Diego next.

Gallen did not factor into the decision Tuesday against Miami. He allowed four runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out three across 5.1 innings.

It was the second straight start in which Gallen gave up nine hits. He's also given up at least four earned runs in three consecutive outings and in six of his last eight starts. Over 69.2 innings, the veteran right-hander has a 5.43 ERA and 1.55 WHIP, both of which are worst in the National League among qualified starters in 2026. Gallen's next start is slated for this weekend on the road against the Reds.

Cecconi did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Yankees, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks while striking out seven across five innings.

All of the damage against Cecconi came on a Spencer Jones two-run homer in the second inning. The right-hander didn't post a single 1-2-3 inning all outing but managed to strand runners consistently and limit the damage to just that one big swing. He's now allowed three earned runs or fewer in seven straight starts, a stretch that stands in contrast to his season-long performance (4.83 ERA, 1.44 WHIP). Cecconi is lined up to face Milwaukee on the road in his next scheduled start.

Meyer did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Diamondbacks, allowing two runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five across 5.1 innings.

Both of the runs Meyer allowed came on solo home runs from Corbin Carroll and Gabriel Moreno, marking the second time this season that Meyer has given up two homers in a game. He's yielded two earned runs or fewer in 10 of 14 starts and ranks fourth in the National League in strikeouts (86) and in the top 12 in both ERA (2.85) and WHIP (1.09) across 79 innings. Meyer's next start is slated for this weekend on the road against the Pirates.

Wheeler did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Blue Jays, allowing one run on six hits while striking out five across six innings. He did not issue a walk.

Wheeler was locked in a pitchers' duel with Dylan Cease, with the former clinging onto a 1-0 lead through five innings before yielding a solo homer to Jesus Sanchez in the sixth. Wheeler generated 15 whiffs on 96 pitches and is up to seven quality starts in nine outings this season. He will bring a 2.22 ERA and 0.85 WHIP over 56.2 innings into his next start, which is lined up for next week at home against the Marlins.

Eovaldi (5-7) took the loss against Kansas City on Tuesday, allowing four runs on four hits and three walks while striking out three batters over 5.2 innings.

Eovaldi got through four scoreless frames before serving up a solo homer to Jac Caglianone in the fifth inning. Things got worse for the veteran hurler in the sixth, as he surrendered two doubles and a triple before being pulled with two outs and was ultimately charged with three more runs. Eovaldi didn't have his swing-and-miss stuff working, as he induced just six whiffs and finished with three punchouts, tying a season-low mark. He's now given up at least four earned runs in three straight starts, pushing his ERA up to 4.26 to go along with a 1.18 WHIP and 77:20 K:BB over 80.1 innings spanning 13 starts.
