Lopez did not factor into the decision on Tuesday, allowing two runs on three hits with one walk in 7.2 innings against the White Sox. He struck out 10.

Lopez rebounded from a shaky start after allowing two runs in a 31-pitch first inning. However, the 27-year-old held the White Sox scoreless for the rest of his outing and retired the final 23 batters he faced before exiting in the eighth. The right-hander has impressed in his first three starts since joining the Twins, posting an outstanding 1.35 ERA and 26:5 K:BB over 20 innings pitched. His next start is tentatively set for this weekend against the Yankees.

Muller did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing six runs on seven hits and three walks over four innings against the Orioles. He struck out three.

The left-hander avoided a loss because Oakland offered a good amount of run support, but it was not a strong outing for the rookie southpaw. A mediocre effort turned into a poor one when he gave up a three-run homer to Ryan Mountcastle in the fifth that brought Baltimore within a run. Over three starts, Muller has registered a 5.52 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 11:7 K:BB across 14.2 innings.

Rodriguez did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing five runs on six hits and four walks over 4.1 innings in a 12-8 victory for the Orioles over the Athletics. He struck out six.

Rodriguez had some good moments in his first-ever start in front of a home crowd in Baltimore, but they were too often followed by moments of frustration. The 23-year-old didn't give up a ton of hard contact, but he did struggle to consistently locate his pitches for the second consecutive outing. Despite the difficulties, Orioles manager Brandon Hyde confirmed Rodriguez will remain a member of the Baltimore rotation. His next start is scheduled against the White Sox on Sunday.

Lynn did not factor into the decision on Tuesday, allowing three runs on seven hits over six innings against the Twins. He struck out 10.

The 35-year-old righty rebounded from giving up early home runs to Byron Buxton and Michael Taylor to finish with 10 strikeouts before being relieved in the seventh inning. Despite the struggles of the White Sox rotation, Lynn's performance offers reason for optimism. He has a 7.31 ERA and 21:7 K:BB over 16 innings and is tentatively scheduled to return to the mound this weekend against the Phillies.

An MRI revealed that Marquez has a right forearm strain but no structural damage, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Marquez was removed from Monday's start after five innings while pointing to his forearm, and while this all but confirms that the right-hander will be placed on the injured list, it's a positive development that he's avoided a more significant injury. The Rockies will likely announce a roster move involving Marquez's replacement before Wednesday's game.

Manning fractured the fifth metatarsal in his right foot in Tuesday's loss to the Blue Jays. He allowed four runs over six innings on six hits with one walk and three strikeouts before exiting.

Manning was hit in the foot with a comebacker and was seen wearing a boot in the clubhouse after the game. The right-hander is heading to the injured list, and a timeline for when he'll be able to rejoin the Detroit rotation -- and who will replace him in the starting group -- should be provided in the coming days.

Javier did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing four runs on five hits and one walk over six innings against the Pirates. He struck out three.

Javier gave up a pair of homers in the no-decision; a two-run blast to Jack Suwinski in the second and a solo blast to Ji-Man Choi. He also gave up a run on a sac fly in his final frame, and he needed to be bailed out late to not pick up the loss. Javier was impressive against the Tigers on Wednesday with six inning of one-run ball, but he was disappointing in this effort. His next chance to rebound is scheduled for Monday against the Blue Jays.

Keller did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks over six innings against the Astros. He struck out seven.

Keller gave up both of his runs on solo homers. Alex Bregman took him deep in the first inning, and Kyle Tucker connected off the right-hander an inning later. From that point on Keller was outstanding, but he just didn't get the run support necessary to factor into the decision. Keller now has a 3.57 ERA, 22:8 K:BB and 1.36 WHIP across 17.2 innings over his first three starts.

Gaddis (0-1) took the loss Tuesday, allowing eight runs on eight hits and two walks over three innings against the Yankees. He struck out three.

Gaddis has pitched poorly in two of his three starts to begin the year, with the one exception being the six shutout innings he fired against the rebuilding Athletics last Wednesday. The right-hander was staked a 2-0 lead, but he gave up a run in the second and five more in the third with three of them coming on a blast by Franchy Cordero. He'd allow two more in the fourth without getting an out to see his ERA balloon to 8.53 on the season. Gaddis is lined up to face the Tigers early next week.

Cole improved to 3-0 after striking out three and allowing two runs on five hits and two walks over seven innings in Tuesday's 11-2 win over the Guardians.

Cole didn't make many bats miss Tuesday, but he was effective nevertheless against the Cleveland lineup. He was particularly good after the first inning, as he allowed a pair in that frame before keeping the Guardians off the scoreboard through the next six innings to get his third win in as many starts. Cole now has a 1.40 ERA and 22:7 K:BB over 19.1 innings to begin the campaign.
