Miller allowed a run on two hits and struck out 10 without walking a batter over six innings, taking a no-decision Tuesday versus the Athletics.

Miller didn't allow a baserunner in the first five innings, but a Tony Kemp single and Esteury Ruiz double led to a run in the sixth. While the A's are hardly an intimidating opponent, Miller still looked excellent with 57 of his 81 pitches going for strikes. The 24-year-old right-hander is expected to get an extended look in the Mariners' rotation with Robbie Ray (elbow) and Easton McGee (forearm) out, so Miller should be expected to face a much tougher opponent at home versus the Astros this weekend.

Gray did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing four runs on eight hits and one walk over 5.1 innings in a 6-4 win over Arizona. He struck out two.

All four runs Gray allowed came in the first three innings. He settled down to retire 10 of the last 11 batters he faced and rescue what could have been a disastrous start. The 31-year-old struck out just two batters, continuing a concerning trend. Gray, who has averaged more than a strikeout per inning in his career, has 19 strikeouts in 30.2 innings in 2023.

Peralta did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing two runs on seven hits and three walks over six innings in a 3-2 loss against Colorado. He struck out 10.

Peralta diced up the Rockies and set down a season-high 10 batters on strikes. He worked through some traffic, as he stranded six runners. The righty is delivering another solid season for the Brewers with a 3.63 ERA and 41 strikeouts in 34.2 innings. His WHIP is at 1.27, which would be his highest mark since the 2019 season.

Feltner did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing two runs on six hits and one walk over 5.1 innings against the Brewers. He struck out three.

Feltner shut the Rockies out through five innings, but he allowed three of the first four batters to reach in the sixth before being lifted. The 26-year-old allowed 13 runs in his first three starts of the season, but he's only surrendered two more in three subsequent starts to lower his ERA from 8.78 to 4.45. Feltner is tentatively scheduled to face the Mets on Sunday.

DeSclafani (3-1) earned the win Tuesday, allowing three hits over eight scoreless innings against the Astros. He struck out three.

DeSclafani rolled through the Astros lineup, posting a season high in innings pitched. The only downside to DeSclafani's outing was a season-low three strikeouts. The righty has been spectacular this season, going at least five innings in every start. He now has a 2.13 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 30 strikeouts in 38 innings.

Brown (3-1) took the loss Tuesday, allowing two runs on four hits and five walks over 4.1 innings against the Giants. He struck out four.

Brown set a career high in walks, as he failed to locate in the zone all game. The Giants managed to push across just two runs, helping Brown's ERA stay at 2.60 for the season. The rookie has failed to get out of the fifth inning three times in his six starts this season, as his pitch count has surpassed 90 in all three of those outings. Despite the walks and short starts, Brown has produced with his excellent ERA and 36 strikeouts in 34.2 innings.

Alcantara (1-3) took the loss Tuesday, allowing three runs on six hits and three walks over five innings against Atlanta. He struck out five.

Alcantara struggled Tuesday, though his final line certainly could've been worse, as he managed to strand nine baserunners over five high-stress innings. Overall, it's been a disappointing start to the year for Alcantara following his Cy Young campaign. His ERA is up to 5.09 with a 1.25 WHIP and 31:12 K:BB through six starts (35.1 innings). The 27-year-old Alcantara will look to get back on track in his next outing, tentatively lined up for this weekend against the Cubs, where the ace will be looking for his first win since April 4.

Astros manager Dusty Baker told reporters after Tuesday's game that Garcia's MRI on his right elbow is undergoing further evaluation by doctors, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Baker told reporters that they expected to have more clarity on Garcia's status this weekend. The right-hander was placed on the 15-day injured list with discomfort in his right elbow after leaving Monday's start against the Giants just eight pitches in. Garcia is going to miss at least two weeks while recovering, but fantasy GMs will have a better idea on whether this is a long-term injury in the next couple of days.

Nationals manager Dave Martinez said Irvin will be recalled from Triple-A Rochester to make the start against the Cubs on Wednesday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

Irvin will be making his MLB debut Wednesday. The 26-year-old has made five starts (22.1 innings) for Rochester while posting a 5.64 ERA and 20:11 K:BB. The Nationals have already sent down Cory Abbott to make room for Irvin on the roster. Whether Irvin makes multiple starts for Washington will be determined in part by how he pitches against the Cubs.

Wesneski allowed just one run on five hits across six innings but did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's loss to the Nationals. He struck out two and did not walk a batter.

Wesneski was sharp in his second quality start of the year, but the Cubs mustered only one run of support, denying him a shot at his third win. After allowing eight earned runs across six innings in his first two starts, the 25-year-old has allowed just six earned runs over 22.1 innings in his last four outings. Wesneski will look to keep it up in his next start, which is tentatively set for Sunday against the Marlins.
