Warren (3-2) earned the win against the Rangers on Tuesday, allowing five hits and one walk while striking out 10 across 5.2 scoreless innings.

Warren didn't allow more than one baserunner through his first five innings. He loaded the bases in the sixth but avoided being tagged for any runs after being lifted for Mark Leiter, who struck out Joc Pederson. Warren has yielded three earned runs or fewer while striking out at least seven batters over his last four outings, and his 60 strikeouts (across 46.2 innings) are tied with teammate Max Fried for 10th in the American League this season. Warren is lined up to face the struggling Rockies on the road this weekend.

Bassitt (4-2) earned the win Tuesday against the Padres after allowing four hits and one walk in six scoreless innings. He struck out six.

Tuesday marked Bassitt's first scoreless start in his last seven outings, and he also fanned six in his third straight appearance. The veteran right-hander's four hits allowed fell just one short of his season best, and he's now given up only one run over his past two starts after surrendering 15 runs across his prior four outings. Bassitt has thrown at least five innings in each of his 10 appearances this year, and he'll bring a strong 2.83 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 61:11 K:BB covering 57.1 innings into his next scheduled start against the Rays.

Cease (1-3) took the loss Tuesday against the Blue Jays, allowing three runs on three hits and one walk in seven innings. He struck out six.

Although Cease's three runs allowed were the most in his last eight starts, he established a season high with seven innings. The hard-throwing right-hander has now fanned at least six in six of his last seven outings, posting a 3.20 ERA and 46:13 K:BB over 39.1 innings in that span. Two of Cease's hits surrendered went for home runs Tuesday, which represented his season worst in homers allowed, so he'll be looking to keep the ball in the yard in his next scheduled appearance against Atlanta.

Strider (0-2) took the loss in Tuesday's game against the Nationals, allowing four runs on six hits and one walk while striking out three across 4.1 innings.

Strider was activated from the 15-day injured list ahead of Tuesday's start after missing the last month due to a strained hamstring. He got off to a poor start by yielding three first-inning runs before giving up a fourth run in the second on a Dylan Crews solo homer. Strider has been limited to just two starts this season due to injury and has a 5.79 ERA and 1.39 WHIP across 9.1 innings. He'll look for his first win of the season in his next start, which is lined up for this weekend at home against San Diego.

Parker (4-3) earned the win against Atlanta on Tuesday, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk while striking out four across 5.1 innings.

All three runs Parker allowed came in the second inning, starting with a solo homer from Matt Olson followed by back-to-back RBI doubles. Parker bounced back to toss 3.1 scoreless innings, and the Nationals' bullpen kept Atlanta off the board to give the 25-year-old southpaw his first win since April 22. It was a return to form for Parker, who had given up four earned runs or more in each of his last four outings after yielding three runs or fewer in each of his first five starts of the season. He'll look to make it two wins in a row in his next start, tentatively slated for this weekend at home against the Giants.

Ryan will pitch Wednesday for the resumption of Monday's suspended game against the Guardians, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

The right-hander was penciled in to start Wednesday's series finale for Minnesota, but he'll instead take the mound for the suspended contest after Tuesday's game was also postponed. The Twin's held a 2-1 lead after three innings when the game was pushed Monday, so Ryan will have a strong opportunity to secure his fourth win in five starts. After the completion of the suspended game, Chris Paddack will start Wednesday's regularly scheduled contest for the Twins.

Cobb is still dealing with inflammation in his hip and is scheduled to receive a series of injections this week, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

The 37-year-old opened the campaign on the injured list due to hip inflammation, which began bothering him at the start of spring training. Cobb received an epidural shot in late February to aid in his recovery, and he's now receiving some additional injections. The right-hander continues to play catch daily, but he'll likely require a significant ramp-up period before being cleared to pitch in games.

Gomber (shoulder) threw a 30-pitch bullpen session Tuesday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

This appears to be the first time Gomber has thrown off a mound since being shut down from his rehab assignment in early April. The left-hander said afterward that his session went well, and the Rockies plan to have him throw a few more bullpens in the near future before having him face live hitters.

The Athletics placed Ginn on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right quad strain.

Ginn made his return from elbow inflammation Monday but struggled in his first start back to the tune of four runs allowed in just four innings. Now dealing with a quad injury, the 26-year-old righty will spend at least another 15 days on the injured list, and Anthony Maldonado will return to the Athletics to provide the big club with some extra bullpen depth.

Fitts (pectoral) is scheduled to make a rehab start with Triple-A Worcester on Thursday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

The right-hander has been sidelined over a month due to a pectoral strain, but he's now been cleared for game action. Fitts will likely need at least a couple rehab starts in the minors before rejoining the Red Sox. He pitched well in his three outings prior to the injury with a 3.18 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 13:5 K:BB across 17 innings
