Ryu (2-0) registered the win during Thursday's 6-3 victory over the Angels, allowing two runs on six hits and one walk with one strikeout in five innings.

Ryu was staked to an early four-run lead and limited the damage to two runs on three hits in the third inning for his second straight win. In three starts since returning from a forearm injury, the 35-year-old has allowed three runs in 15.2 innings compared to 11 through 7.1 innings in his first two turns. It all amounts to a 5.48 ERA and 1.35 WHIP in five starts while averaging fewer than five innings per start. He'll go for his third win when he faces the White Sox next week.

Montas registered a no-decision during Thursday's 4-1 loss to Texas, allowing an unearned run on three hits and two walks with 11 strikeouts in seven innings.

After sustaining a hand injury in his previous start, Montas limited the damage to one run in the second inning on one hit, two walks and an error as he's now surrendered no more than two runs in seven of 10 starts. Despite a 3.12 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 66 strikeouts in 57.2 innings, Oakland has lost each of the 29-year-old's eight turns besides his two wins. Montas will look to get back in the win column next week against Houston.

Perez didn't factor into the decision during Thursday's 4-1 win over Oakland, allowing one run on four hits and two walks with six strikeouts in seven innings.

For the seventh straight start, Perez limited the opposing offense to one run or less as Oakland was only able to scratch across one run in the fourth inning. Despite the excellent stretch, Perez has only won three starts despite a 1.12 ERA across 48.1 innings as Texas is scoring just 3.7 runs per game during the streak. A 3.65 xFIP indicates Perez's 1.60 season ERA stands to increase some, though he'll look to keep the momentum rolling against Tampa Bay next week.

Lynch allowed two runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out six across 5.1 innings against Minnesota on Thursday. He did not factor in the decision.

Lynch gave up only one extra-base hit in the outing, and he registered 16 swinging strikes among his 94 pitches. He allowed at least one baserunner in each of his innings but limited the Twins to just two runs, though he exited in the sixth in line for the loss before the Royals offense staged a comeback. This was a solid bounce-back performance after Lynch allowed four runs over 3.2 frames when he faced Minnesota six days ago. He's expected to make his next start in Cleveland early next week.

Corbin (1-7) allowed three earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out three across 6.1 innings to earn the win Thursday against Colorado.

Corbin entered Thursday having taken the loss in seven of his nine starts on the season. However, he was sharp against the Rockies, highlighted by 10 groundball outs. Corbin managed his third quality start of the season and has maintained a 6.30 ERA and 42:22 K:BB across 50 frames.

Nola (2-4) allowed one earned run on five hits and no walks while striking out 10 across 8.1 innings to earn the win Thursday against Atlanta.

Nola dominated Atlanta and allowed only two extra-base hits -- both to Matt Olson. He also struck out a season-best 10 hitters, backed by 24 called strikes and 15 swinging strikes across 109 total pitches. Nola entered the start having allowed 10 earned runs across his last three starts spanning 17.2 innings, but for the season he has maintained a 3.56 ERA and an elite 74:10 K:BB across 60.2 frames.

Wright (4-3) allowed three earned runs on three hits and two walks while striking out five across 6.2 innings to take the loss Thursday against the Phillies.

Wright breezed through his entire outing, but the bullpen allowed two inherited runners to score to sour his line. Despite tallying only five strikeouts, Wright managed 15 swinging strikes across 92 total pitches. Wright has now allowed more than three earned runs in only one of his nine starts this season, and he has maintained a 2.68 ERA and 61:18 K:BB across 53.2 frames.

Gibson will no longer start during the Phillies' weekend series against the Mets, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Gibson was originally slated to start Sunday, but Bailey Falter will start Friday and push the rotation back a day. As a result, Gibson lines up to start Monday against the Giants, though that has not been confirmed by the team. Zach Eflin will start Saturday, with Zack Wheeler following in the series finale.

Skubal allowed three runs on five hits across seven innings but did not factor into the decision in Thursday's win over the Guardians. He walked one and struck out five.

Skubal probably deserves more than the three wins he has in nine starts this season, but Detroit has been sluggish offensively. The lefty has still pitched great with a 2.44 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 55 strikeouts across 51.2 innings this year. With Eduardo Rodriguez (ribs) and Casey Mize (elbow) both on the injured list at the moment, Skubal has emerged as the team's clear ace. He'll look to keep it rolling in his next scheduled outing Tuesday as part of a doubleheader against the Twins.

Falter will start Friday against the Mets, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Falter is currently pitching at Triple-A Lehigh Valley, though he will be called up prior to the team's weekend series. No injury has been announced to a member of the Phillies' rotation, so presumably the Phillies are just pushing everyone back a day. Falter has maintained a 3.75 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 7:2 K:BB across 12 innings in the majors this season, though that has come primarily out of the bullpen.
