Priester (4-2) earned the win Tuesday against Atlanta after giving up one run on seven hits and no walks in six innings. He struck out seven.

Priester is beginning to find a rhythm after being lit up for seven runs back on May 2, tossing at least five innings in each of his last seven starts while allowing one run or fewer on five occasions during that stretch. The right-hander matched a season high in strikeouts Tuesday, and he registered his third quality start of the year. Priester has produced a 2.35 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 26:10 K:BB over his last seven outings (38.1 innings), and he'll look to keep the good times rolling his next time out versus the Cardinals.

Holmes (3-5) took the loss Tuesday against Milwaukee after giving up three runs on five hits and three walks in 5.1 innings. He struck out nine.

It was a mixed bag for Holmes, who matched his season high in strikeouts but allowed three runs while working fewer than six innings in his third straight start. The 29-year-old right-hander did generate a staggering 20 whiffs Tuesday, but three of his five hits allowed went for extra bases, and two of them left the yard. Holmes will take a 4.07 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 77:32 K:BB through 73 innings into his next scheduled outing versus the Mets, who are slugging a potent .456 against righties since May 1.

Evans (3-2) allowed four runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five over five innings to take the loss versus the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

Evans was likely only getting a spot start, as he didn't do anything particularly impressive while filling in for Bryce Miller (elbow) in this outing. Evans got through the order with little trouble the first time, but Arizona got to him in the third, fourth and fifth innings, and it was too much for Seattle to come back from. Evans has done fine when called upon this season, posting a 3.38 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 30:12 K:BB across 40 innings through seven starts. He'll likely head back to Triple-A Tacoma when Logan Gilbert (elbow) is activated from the injured list.

Pfaadt (8-4) allowed two runs on nine hits and a walk while striking out four over five-plus innings to earn the win over the Mariners on Tuesday.

Pfaadt had five scoreless innings on his ledger before allowing solo home runs to Randy Arozarena and Rowdy Tellez in the sixth. Even with the late fade, this was a massive improvement over Pfaadt's previous two outings, during which he allowed a total of 14 runs over three innings. The right-hander is still at an ugly 5.37 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 55:18 K:BB through 70.1 innings over 14 starts this season. His next start is projected to be on the road versus the Blue Jays next week.

Gordon (oblique) played catch on the field prior to Tuesday's game against the Giants, MLB.com reports.

Gordon has been sidelined since June 3 with an oblique strain, and Tuesday's throwing session was his first since he was placed on the injured list. There is no timeline for his return.

Cease (2-5) allowed three hits and five walks while striking out 11 over seven scoreless innings to earn the win over the Dodgers on Tuesday.

Cease overcame issuing a season-high five walks to post his first scoreless outing of the season. The 11 strikeouts were also a season high, and it was enough to get him back in the win column for the first time since April 2. The right-hander is now at a 4.28 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 96:29 K:BB through 75.2 innings over 14 starts, five of which have been quality starts. Cease's next outing is projected to be a rematch versus the Dodgers in Los Angeles early next week.

Soriano allowed one run on two hits and two walks while striking out 12 over seven innings in a no-decision versus the Athletics on Tuesday.

Soriano gave up a season-high seven runs to the Red Sox in his last outing, but he bounced back well Tuesday. The 12 strikeouts were easily a season high, and he was able to come away with his seventh quality start of the campaign. He also walked fewer than three batters for the first time in seven starts. The right-hander is now at a 3.86 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 64:39 K:BB across 79.1 innings over 14 starts. Soriano is projected to make his next start in a tough road matchup versus the Yankees.

Smith (3-3) earned the win Tuesday, allowing one run on seven hits and two walks over six innings against the Astros. He struck out four.

The right-hander allowed nine Astros to reach base but limited the damage to just one run, which came on an Isaac Paredes sacrifice fly in the third inning. Smith has bounced back from a rough end to May -- he posted a 6.23 ERA over his final two starts of the month -- by giving up only one run across 11.1 innings through his first two outings in June. The 25-year-old owns a 2.37 ERA and 1.17 WHIP over 13 starts this season.

Gore didn't factor into the decision during Tuesday's extra-inning loss to the Mets, allowing two runs on five hits and no walks across six innings. He struck out six.

Gore turned in his fourth consecutive quality start, adding to what's been a stellar campaign for the 26-year-old. He allowed a solo homer to Juan Soto in the third inning, marking the first long ball Gore has allowed in six starts. Gore has struck out six or more batters in all but one of his 14 starts this season, and he owns a 2.88 ERA to pair with a 114:22 K:BB over 81.1 innings in 2025. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Marlins on Sunday to close out a two-start week.

Canning didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against Washington, allowing four runs on seven hits and two walks with four strikeouts over 5.1 innings.

Canning was not as sharp Tuesday after blanking the Dodgers over six innings in his previous start. He tied his season highs in hits and earned runs allowed, and he yielded a pair of home runs. Still, it's been a strong season for the 29-year-old, who has taken just one loss since his season debut. He has tallied a 3.22 ERA over 64.1 innings in 2025 and is tentatively lined up to face the Rays on Sunday.
