Williams (1-3) picked up the win in Tuesday's 10-0 rout of the Nationals, allowing three hits and two walks over five scoreless innings while striking out one.

The right-hander wasn't dominant, but he didn't give up much hard contact as all three hits off him were singles, and the Mets' offense did the rest. Williams also lasted five innings for the first time in four starts and nine appearances this season, giving him a rosier fantasy outlook if he can continue to last long enough to qualify for wins while acting as a stopgap in New York's injury-plagued rotation. He'll take a 3.58 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 23:6 K:BB through 27.2 innings into his next outing.

Corbin (1-8) took the loss Tuesday, surrendering seven runs on 12 hits and two walks over 4.1 innings as the Nationals were routed 10-0 by the Mets. He struck out six.

Only one player in the majors has as many losses as the left-hander, and that's his teammate Joan Adon -- which just about sums up the Nats' season to date. Corbin has given up five runs or more in three of his last four starts and six of 11 on the year, leaving him with a brutal 6.96 ERA and 1.79 WHIP to go with a 48:24 K:BB through 54.1 innings.

Gausman (5-3) picked up the win Tuesday, giving up three runs on six hits and a walk over five innings in a 6-5 victory over the White Sox. He struck out five.

The right-hander left the game after 98 pitches (67 strikes) with the Blue Jays down 3-2, but a four-run rally in the bottom of the fifth put Gausman back in the win column. He's proving his 2021 breakout with San Francisco was no fluke, posting a 2.51 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 70:6 K:BB through 61 innings this season.

Giolito (3-2) allowed six earned runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out eight across 4.2 innings to take the loss Tuesday against the Blue Jays.

Giolito surrendered a pair of home runs to Alejandro Kirk, which accounted for four of his six earned runs. He allowed an additional three extra-base hits and turned in his worst outing of the season. Though there weren't many positives, Giolito did induce 14 swinging strikes across 99 pitches, and he has struck out at least seven batters in six of his eight starts. Overall, he has a 3.61 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and a 59:17 K:BB across 42.1 frames on the campaign.

Gambrell has not yet pitched in 2022 due to an ankle injury, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Gambrell is still in Fort Myers rehabbing the injury. The 24-year-old righty was one of the players to be named later in the Andrew Benintendi trade. At the time of his acquisition, Boston general manager Chaim Bloom described Gambrell as a potential workhorse in either a starting or relief capacity who has a power arsenal with two different fastballs, a breaking ball and a changeup.

Suarez didn't factor into the decision during Tuesday's loss to the Giants after giving up two runs on five hits over 4.1 innings. He had five strikeouts and three walks.

Suarez started off with four scoreless frames, but he stumbled during the fifth inning and was pulled after allowing a pair of singles, both of which came around to score after his departure. The left-hander threw only 58 of his 100 pitches for strikes and issued at least three walks for the fourth time this year. Tuesday's outing was the third consecutive appearance in which Suarez failed to complete five innings, and he now has a 4.69 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 42:22 K:BB over 48 innings this season.

Urias (3-5) allowed four runs on eight hits and a walk with eight strikeouts in six innings, taking the loss Tuesday versus the Pirates.

Urias was tagged early, giving up a pair of two-run home runs to Michael Chavis and Tucupita Marcano in the first two innings. The southpaw settled in after that, but the Dodgers couldn't tie the game. With 70 of his 91 pitches going for strikes, Urias had better command than in his last start, an encouraging sign going forward. The 25-year-old has a 2.89 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 41:12 K:BB across 53 innings in 10 starts this year. He lines up for a tough home start versus the Mets this weekend.

Keller (2-5) earned the win Tuesday versus the Dodgers. He allowed two runs on two hits and five walks with five strikeouts in five innings.

The damage on Keller's line came in the form of a two-run home run by Trea Turner, but he was able to pitch around a lack of command. This was one of Keller's more effective starts this season, but he's pitched more productively out of the bullpen. The right-hander has a 5.77 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 37:20 K:BB through 43.2 innings across 10 outings (eight starts). It's unclear if Tuesday's start will earn him another turn through the rotation, but off days Thursday and Monday mean the Pirates won't need a fifth starter until some time next week.

Lynch (2-4) took the loss Tuesday at Cleveland after giving up six runs on nine hits with three walks and two strikeouts over four innings.

Lynch immediately ran into trouble Tuesday as the Guardians struck for three runs in the opening frame, and Austin Hedges delivered the critical blow during the third inning with a three-run homer. The 25-year-old entered the contest with a 2.91 ERA over his previous seven starts, but he was unable to contain the Cleveland offense.

Quantrill (2-3) earned the win Tuesday against the Royals after giving up three runs on six hits with five strikeouts and zero walks over 6.1 innings.

The right-hander limited Kansas City to two runs through six innings, but he was pulled with one out in the seventh after a HBP and a single, and another run came around to score after his exit. It was the third straight quality start for Quantrill, though it's his first win since Opening Day. He has a 3.52 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 33:19 K:BB across 53.2 innings this season.
