Ober allowed one run on three hits and no walks while striking out three batters over three innings Monday versus Cleveland in a game that was suspended until Tuesday due to inclement weather.

Ober gave up a run in the first inning but held a 2-1 lead before the contest was suspended. The right-hander threw 42 pitches (an efficient 35 of which were strikes) and will have to settle for a no-decision given the short outing. It's a disappointing outcome for fantasy managers who roster Ober, but the hurler should at least be well-rested by the time his next turn in the rotation comes up, which lines up to be this weekend versus Kansas City.

Ginn (1-2) allowed four runs on six hits and struck out seven without walking a batter over four innings, taking the loss Monday versus the Angels.

Ginn threw 48 of 79 pitches for strikes in his return from right elbow inflammation. The right-hander had been out since late April due to the injury, and he fell short of his expected 85-to-90 pitch count in his return. He struggled a bit, allowing home runs to Nolan Schanuel and Taylor Ward, which accounted for three of the four runs on Ginn's line. For the season, Ginn has a 5.60 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 22:6 K:BB across 17.2 innings, showing some strikeout upside despite the sinkerballer's other concerns in his profile, which has included him allowing six homers already this season. His next start is projected to be a tough home matchup versus the Phillies this weekend.

Freeland yielded one run on seven hits and two walks while striking out six batters over 5.1 innings in a no-decision against Philadelphia on Monday.

Freeland allowed at least one baserunner in each inning in which he appeared, but he got through four scoreless frames before allowing his lone run in the fifth. The southpaw finished with his second-highest strikeout total (six) of the season while racking up an impressive 15 whiffs. It was one of the better starts of the season for the veteran hurler, but he still holds a poor 5.68 ERA and 1.60 WHIP through 50.2 frames.

Soriano (3-4) allowed three runs on six hits and four walks while striking out four over six innings to earn the win over the Athletics on Monday.

Soriano wasn't at his best, but he was still good enough to picked up his third quality start over four outings in May. He also got back in the win column for the first time since April 10 versus the Rays. Soriano's continued success has come from keeping the ball down -- he hasn't allowed a home run in his last five starts and has given up just three long balls all season. That's helped to keep his ERA at 3.57 despite a 1.48 WHIP and 46:27 K:BB over 58 innings. His next start is expected to be in a favorable home matchup versus the Marlins this weekend.

Sanchez allowed three runs on five hits and no walks while striking out seven batters over six innings in a no-decision against Colorado on Monday.

Sanchez fell behind early when he gave up a solo homer to Ezequiel Tovar in the first inning, but he surrendered just two runs the rest of the way to finish with his third consecutive quality start. The southpaw recorded 10 whiffs and threw 63 of 89 pitches for strikes while issuing zero walks for the first time this season. Sanchez has been quite effective on the campaign, posting a 3.10 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 59:17 K:BB through 49.1 frames. He's tentatively scheduled to make his next start on the road against the Athletics.

Bubic (5-2) allowed two hits and three walks while striking out five over seven scoreless innings to earn the win Monday over the Giants.

Bubic carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning, but he lost it with two outs in that frame when he gave up a single to Wilmer Flores. He was still able to keep the Giants off balance throughout the start, which was Bubic's fourth scoreless outing in his last six starts. The left-hander has dazzled this season with a 1.47 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 61:18 K:BB across 61.1 innings in his return to a starting role after featuring as a reliever in 2024 following his Tommy John surgery in 2023. Bubic's next start is projected to be at Minnesota over the weekend.

Ray allowed six hits and a walk while striking out seven over seven scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Royals on Monday.

Ray earned his fifth straight quality start with this effort, which was also his second scoreless outing of the season. However, the Giants didn't generate any runs to support him while he was in the game and they ultimately lost 3-1. Ray has a 37:9 K:BB over his last 33 innings, and he's at a 2.67 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 62:27 K:BB through 57.1 innings over 10 starts this season. The veteran southpaw's next start is projected to be on the road versus the Nationals.

Montero surrendered five runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out three batters over 5.2 innings in a no-decision against St. Louis on Monday.

Montero worked in a bulk-relief role for the second straight game, though he took on a starter's workload with 5.2 frames and 98 pitches. The right-hander entered with one out in the first inning after Sean Guenther had allowed allowed a run on three hits, and though Montero got out of that frame without yielding further damage, he gave up four runs across the fourth and fifth innings and was charged with another after he departed in the seventh. It remains to be seen if Montero will continue entering behind an opener, but he should keep getting the ball on a starter's schedule even after Casey Mize (hamstring) returns from the injured list, as Reese Olson (finger) landed on the IL on Monday.

Gray (5-1) earned the win over Detroit on Monday, striking out 10 batters while allowing three hits and one walk over six scoreless innings.

Gray was dominant in the victory, racking up 13 whiffs and notching a season high in strikeouts. It was the third time this season that the right-hander has recorded a scoreless quality start, though Gray has also had some clunkers, surrendering four-plus earned runs three times -- including in his previous start, when he yielded seven runs over 3.2 frames against Philadelphia. Collectively, Gray has pitched to a 4.02 ERA and 1.13 WHIP with a 61:13 K:BB over 56 innings, making him an attractive option for fantasy purposes despite the hiccups along the way. He's lined up to face the Diamondbacks the next time he takes the mound.

Kremer did not factor in the decision during Monday's loss to the Brewers. He allowed four runs on nine hits and two walks over 5.1 innings while striking out six.

Kremer coughed up three runs in the second inning, including Brice Turang's two-run single. William Contreras later added an RBI double in the fifth. Kremer has been tagged with eight runs over his last 11 innings after delivering back-to-back quality starts in his previous two outings. The recent struggles have bumped his season ERA up to 5.50 with a 40:15 K:BB through 55.2 innings. Kremer is lined up to start in Boston this weekend.
