Anderson registered a no-decision during Tuesday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to San Diego, allowing two runs on three hits while striking out three in six innings.

Anderson permitted all the damage in the first inning, allowing both runs on a two-out Wil Myers single before retiring the next 16 Padres. The 32-year-old tossed an efficient 52 of 71 pitches for strikes with five of the swinging variety in extending his streak of surrendering three runs or fewer to nine starts. Across those nine turns, Anderson has pitched to a 1.85 ERA with 34 strikeouts in 58.1 innings. His 2.54 ERA and 1.00 WHIP both rank ninth in MLB and he'll look to wrap up a breakout campaign with one last start, currently set to come Sunday against the Rockies.

Snell didn't factor into the decision during Tuesday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the Dodgers, allowing one hit and walking three while recording six strikeouts in five scoreless innings.

Snell limited the damage to four baserunners across five innings and departed with a two-run lead, but Los Angeles immediately tied the game upon his exit. The 29-year-old continued his excellent performance of late and possesses a 1.80 ERA with 49 strikeouts across 35 innings during his last six turns. Snell seems to have found his stride a bit later than fantasy managers would've preferred, though he should be good for one more start this season, tentatively scheduled to come Sunday against the White Sox.

Ray (12-11) took the loss during Tuesday's 5-0 defeat at the hands of the Rangers, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks with eight strikeouts in 5.2 innings.

Ray served up a Josh Jung solo shot in the second inning and another run in the sixth before departing with two outs and the bases loaded, but reliever Penn Murfee was able to induce a groundout to end the frame. The two earned runs were enough for the loss as Seattle failed to score, and the 30-year-old has now lost three of four starts while pitching to a 4.57 ERA across 21.2 innings during the stretch. He carries a 3.58 ERA and 1.17 WHIP into his next start, tentatively scheduled to come Sunday against Oakland.

Marquez (8-13) took the loss during Tuesday's 5-2 defeat at the hands of the Giants, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk with six strikeouts in six innings.

Marquez was handed a one-run lead before he took the mound but gave it right back by surrendering two runs on four baserunners in the bottom of the first. He proceeded to keep San Francisco's offense quiet aside from a J.D. Davis solo home run in the fourth, though the three earned runs proved enough to hand the 27-year-old his third straight loss. Other than a nine-run outing Sept. 9, Marquez has pitched well of late with a 2.81 ERA across 32 innings in his five other most recent starts. He possesses a 5.12 ERA and 1.39 WHIP with 142 strikeouts in 175.2 innings in total this season.

Wacha tossed 3.1 innings, giving up six runs on eight hits while striking out three in Tuesday's 13-9 win over the Orioles. He did not factor into the decision.

Wacha struggled to keep the Orioles off the bases Tuesday, surrendering eight runs and three homers, both of which were season highs. The blowup ended a five-game streak of quality starts for the 31-year-old and raised his ERA from 2.70 to 3.06 on the season. He'll look to return to form in his final start of the 2022 campaign, which is tentatively set to come Sunday versus the Blue Jays.

Bradish pitched 2.1 innings, surrendering seven runs on four hits and four walks while striking out three in Tuesday's 13-9 loss to the Red Sox. He did not factor into the decision.

Bradish gave up a two-run homer to Triston Casas in the bottom of the second inning before he was tagged with five more runs in the following frame while only recording one out. The right-hander's performance Tuesday was a far cry from his last outing Thursday versus the Astros when he fell just short of a complete-game shutout. Prior to the difficult start, Bradish had produced a 1.64 ERA and 0.78 WHIP with 30 punchouts over 38.1 innings in his last six outings. He now sits with a 5.11 ERA and 1.39 WHIP with 106 strikeouts over 112.2 frames in 22 starts this season.

Webb (15-9) earned the win during Tuesday's 5-2 victory over Colorado, allowing one run on five hits and one walk with seven strikeouts in five innings.

Webb permitted his lone run on three singles in the top of the first and shut Colorado's offense down over the next four frames to fall in line for his fourth win in five September starts. During the stretch, the 25-year-old has pitched to a 2.96 ERA with 26 strikeouts in 27.1 innings. Webb has been one of the most durable pitchers this season -- he's tied for the MLB lead with 32 games started and ranks fourth with 192.1 innings. He lines up to make one more start before the campaign concludes Oct. 5.

Mikolas (12-13) got the win after he pitched six innings, surrendering one run on four hits and a walk while striking out nine Tuesday against the Brewers.

Mikolas was able to hold the Brewers scoreless over the first five innings, finally giving up a solo home run to Rowdy Tellez in the bottom of the sixth frame. The right-hander has now produced three consecutive quality starts, while the nine strikeouts were his highest since June 25. Over his last three outings, Mikolas has compiled a 2.00 ERA and 1.00 WHIP with 18 strikeouts over 18 innings. He tentatively lines up to pitch his final start of the regular season Monday versus the Pirates.

Davies (2-5) took the loss Tuesday, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks with three strikeouts over 4.1 innings in a 10-2 loss to the Astros.

Jose Altuve got to Davies to lead off the first inning, and after recording a couple of clean innings, Davies ran into trouble in the fourth and fifth innings. The 29-year-old has now failed to complete five innings in four of his last five starts, a period in which he has allowed 14 earned runs in 21 innings. He will take a 4.18 ERA into his next start.

Garcia (14-8) earned the win Tuesday, allowing one run on four hits and no walks over six innings against the Diamondbacks. He struck out six.

Garcia cruised to victory Tuesday, as the only damage on the night came via a Geraldo Perdomo solo home run in the third inning. The effort was Garcia's third quality start and second start without allowing a walk over 11 outings in the second half. He has a 3.81 ERA through 151.1 innings this season, just four innings shy of the innings mark he recorded in 2021. It is unclear whether the Astros will keep Garcia in the rotation, as they are likely closely monitoring his innings as they head into the playoffs.
