Spencer Schwellenbach P | ATL
Braves' Spencer Schwellenbach: Fires seven innings
Schwellenbach (6-4) yielded two runs on four hits and a walk over seven innings Monday, striking out four and earning a win against the Mets.
Schwellenbach rolled through five shutout frames before Juan Soto popped a two-run shot in the sixth inning. Other than that, Schwellenbach allowed only one runner to reach scoring position. He's thrown at least seven innings in three straight outings and six of his last eight; during that span, he's produced a 3.04 ERA over 56.1 innings. Schwellenbach owns a 3.21 ERA with a 96:17 K:BB this season. He's projected for a home matchup with the Phillies this weekend.

Nick Lodolo SP | CIN
Reds' Nick Lodolo: Fans six in short outing
Lodolo did not factor in the decision during Monday's win over the Yankees. He allowed a run on six hits while striking out six over 4.1 frames.
Lodolo coughed up a solo shot to Aaron Judge in the first inning but otherwise kept the Yankees off the board. However, despite not walking a batter, Lodolo threw 94 pitches and failed to complete five frames. It was the second time in his last three starts that he threw fewer than five innings, and he coughed up six runs in the other. Lodolo is now sporting a 3.63 ERA with an 80:18 K:BB through 89.1 innings this season. He's lined up to face the Padres at home this weekend.

Eduardo Rodriguez SP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Eduardo Rodriguez: Dazzles in third win
Rodriguez (3-4) earned the win Monday against the White Sox, allowing five hits and two walks over six scoreless innings. He struck out 10.
The veteran southpaw notched his third game of double-digit Ks and third quality start of the season with this 92-pitch performance. Rodriguez entered this month with an unsightly 7.05 ERA; however, things were better under the hood as evidenced by a 4.28 FIP and 10.5 K/9. He has been much improved so far in June, pitching to a 2.05 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 22:6 K:BB across 22 innings. The 32-year-old is scheduled to take his next turn in the rotation in Arizona's home series against Miami this weekend.

Allan Winans SP | NYY
Yankees' Allan Winans: Stumbles in season debut
Winans (0-1) yielded four runs on five hits over 4.1 innings Monday, striking out one and taking a loss against the Reds.
Winans worked through three scoreless innings before falling apart in the fourth. The Reds plated three runs in the frame, capped off by Gavin Lux's solo shot, before adding another run in the fifth inning. Winans was promoted from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre for Monday's outing and threw only 62 pitches before getting the hook. As things stand, he will likely be sent back down rather than sticking around in the rotation.

Shane Smith RP | CHW
White Sox's Shane Smith: Trounced in short outing
Smith (3-5) suffered the loss in Monday's game against Arizona, allowing five runs on four hits and two walks over two innings. He struck out two.
The Chicago right-hander labored through this 64-pitch appearance and surrendered five earned runs for the second consecutive start. Smith allowed the first two runs on a double by Josh Naylor in the first inning and then conceded a three-run homer to Pavin Smith in the second. Before this string of five-run outings, Smith sported an impressive 2.37 ERA, which has now bloated to 3.38 through 74.2 total innings. The 25-year-old currently lines up to make his next start against the Giants at home this weekend.

Yordanny Monegro SP | BOS
Red Sox's Yordanny Monegro: Set for Tommy John surgery
Monegro was diagnosed last week with a torn UCL in his right elbow and will require Tommy John surgery, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.
Double-A Portland attributed Monegro's placement on the 7-day injured list June 14 to elbow inflammation, but follow-up testing evidently revealed ligament damage. He'll likely go under the knife in the coming days and will miss the rest of the 2025 season and most or all of the 2026 campaign. Before being shelved with the elbow injury, Monegro posted a 2.67 ERA and 35.8 percent strikeout rate over 33.2 innings with Portland.

Patrick Corbin SP | TOR
Rangers' Patrick Corbin: Coughs up five runs
Corbin (4-7) allowed five runs on nine hits over five-plus innings Monday, striking out six and taking a loss against Baltimore.
Corbin gave up one run through four innings before Jackson Holliday ripped a three-run shot in the fifth. Corbin then loaded the bases without recording an out in the sixth inning but Baltimore only scratched across one run after he was removed. He produced a surprising 3.13 ERA through his first six starts this year but has since registered a 5.04 ERA over his last 44.2 frames (eight appearances). Corbin now owns a 4.24 ERA and a 59:23 K:BB for the season. It's unclear when his next start will be, as Jacob Latz will make a spot-start Tuesday and Nathan Eovaldi (triceps) is expected to return from the injured list later this week.

Bryan Woo SP | SEA
Mariners' Bryan Woo: Cruises to seventh win
Woo (7-4) picked up the win Monday at Minnesota, allowing two runs on six hits and one walk over six innings. He struck out nine.
The 25-year-old tidily handled the Twins lineup, blowing them away with 18 whiffs out of his 91 total pitches. The only blemishes on Woo's line came in the sixth when he had a seven-run lead and allowed back-to-back solo homers to Trevor Larnach and Carlos Correa. With this performance, Woo collected his 11th quality start, marking a new career best. He will carry a sterling 3.12 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 87:15 K:BB through 95.1 frames into his next start, which projects to be at Texas this weekend.

Bailey Ober SP | MIN
Twins' Bailey Ober: Clobbered again
Ober (4-5) took the loss in Monday's game against Seattle, allowing seven runs on seven hits and no walks over seven innings with seven strikeouts.
Ober's ugly June continues, as he's now allowed four or more earned runs in each of his four outings this month. Across 24.1 June innings, he's pitched to a horrid 8.51 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 19:7 K:BB while yielding 10 long balls, including three in this performance against the Mariners. The Minnesota right-hander began the month with a respectable 3.48 ERA but now sports a 4.90 mark through 86.1 total frames. Assuming he continues to stick in the rotation, Ober currently lines up to make his next start at Detroit this weekend.

Trevor Rogers SP | BAL
Orioles' Trevor Rogers: Twirls gem for victory
Rogers (1-0) allowed three hits over eight shutout frames Monday, striking out four and earning a win over the Rangers.
Rogers was outstanding Monday, sprinkling three singles across eight scoreless frames. He let only one runner reach scoring position and had a string of 14 consecutive batters retired. Rogers was efficient, with 72 of his 101 pitches being strikes. He's struggled with his command throughout his career but has walked just three batters through 16.2 MLB innings this season. Rogers owns a 1.62 ERA and likely earned himself another turn in the rotation, which is lined up to be this weekend at home against the Rays.
