Manoah (1-4) took the loss Monday, allowing five runs on six hits and seven walks over four innings in a 7-4 loss to the Yankees. He struck out three.

Manoah walked a season-high seven batters and allowed five or more runs for the third time this year. He currently sports a 5.40 ERA and 1.80 WHIP with an abysmal 35:32 K:BB over 45 innings. The right-hander was one of the best pitchers in the AL last year, posting a 2.24 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 180:51 K:BB over 31 starts (196.2 innings), but he hasn't looked like the same guy to start 2023. Manoah will look to find a rhythm during his next start, which is tentatively scheduled for a three-game weekend set versus Baltimore.

Irvin was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk by the Orioles on Tuesday.

Per Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun, it appears the O's are bringing Irvin back to provide some length out of the bullpen. Irvin was sent down last month after posting a 10.66 ERA in three starts for Baltimore, but he got back on track at Norfolk with a 3.19 ERA in five outings.

Rodriguez (2-1) took the loss against the Angels on Monday, allowing eight runs on nine hits and three walks over 3.1 innings. He struck out three.

Rodriguez served up a season-high eight earned runs Monday and has now allowed multiple home runs in three straight starts. The right-hander has been a hit-or-miss player during his first big-league stint, allowing four total earned runs in four starts (20.2 innings) while surrendering 23 runs over his other four appearances (16.1 innings). Overall, the rookie sports a 6.57 ERA and 1.73 WHIP, but his 44:17 K:BB across 37 innings is encouraging. Rodriguez will look to bounce back in his next start, which is tentatively scheduled for a three-game weekend set in Toronto.

Corbin (2-5) earned the win Monday, allowing two runs on eight hits and one walk across six innings during a 10-3 win over the Mets. He struck out one.

Corbin allowed three or fewer earned runs and completed at least five innings for a sixth straight start. During that stretch, the left-hander has posted a 22:4 K:BB across 36.1 innings. Corbin has been far from perfect, but his recent string of solid starts is a step in the right direction after he surrendered 14 runs over his first 14 innings this season. Overall, he sports a 4.65 ERA and 1.43 WHIP over nine outings (50.1 innings) and will look to make it four straight quality starts next time out, which is tentatively scheduled for a three-game weekend set versus the Tigers.

Peterson (1-6) took the loss Monday, allowing six runs on nine hits and two walks over five innings during a 10-3 defeat at the hands of the Nationals. He struck out five.

Peterson has struggled in his second stint in the big leagues this year, allowing 10 runs over two starts (8.1 innings) while posting a 9:4 K:BB. The left-hander wasn't much better the first time around, surrendering 25 runs over six starts (30.2 innings). Overall, he sports a 8.08 ERA and 1.74 WHIP, but his 45:14 K:BB across 39 innings is encouraging. With Max Scherzer healthy again and Carlos Carrasco (elbow) close to returning from the injured list, Peterson may be sent back to Triple-A Syracuse soon.

Shuster was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett by Atlanta on Tuesday.

Shuster is set to start Tuesday against the Rangers and has a chance to stick around for a while as his team battles multiple injuries in the rotation. The left-hander has posted an 8.31 ERA and 5:9 K:BB over 8.2 innings in his two starts in the majors this season and has also been inconsistent at Gwinnett, so fantasy managers would be wise to take a wait-and-see approach.

Houck has a 2.33 ERA the first time through an order, but the ERA swells to 5.40 when facing hitters a second time, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

The numbers get uglier a third time through, when Houck's ERA climbs to 13.50. Boston manager Alex Cora said nothing has been different about Houck later in games -- throws the same pitches, the stuff is the same, keeps attacking hitters. The pattern emerging could lead Cora to move Houck to the bullpen. The Red Sox are currently operating with six starters -- and a seventh, Garrett Whitlock (elbow), on the way. Decisions need to be made, and Houck's inability to sustain his early-inning success could make it an easy decision for the manager.

Ragans allowed four runs on four hits and two walks while striking out four over three innings in Monday's 12-0 loss to Atlanta.

Ragans ceded his first two home runs of the season in clean-up work following rookie starter Cody Bradford, who allowed six earned runs over five innings. Eating multiple innings in relief is Ragans' job, and he's hit some bumps along the way. The left-hander has allowed 12 runs over his last 12.1 innings.

Lynch (shoulder) will make another rehab start with Triple-A Omaha on Wednesday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Lynch stretched out to 73 pitches in his latest rehab start, but it appears he'll need one more outing in the minors before joining the big-league roster. Assuming all goes well Wednesday, the southpaw could be an option to make his season debut at some point during next week's home series versus the Tigers.

Syndergaard (finger) struck out five and allowed two runs on four hits in four innings in Monday's 9-8 win over the Twins. He didn't factor into the decision.

Syndergaard made his first start since exiting his May 9 start due to a cut on his right index finger. The righty tossed 59 pitches to get through four innings. Syndergaard's first season as a Dodger has not gone well. He has a 5.94 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and has struck out just 26 batters in 36.1 innings.
