McCullers (1-2) took the loss Tuesday, allowing four runs on four hits and four walks over five innings in a 4-2 loss against the White Sox. He struck out six.

The right-hander struggled to find a rhythm Tuesday, with Luis Robert giving him particular trouble via an RBI double in the second inning and a solo homer in the fourth inning. McCullers has had an inconsistent season, recording scoreless outings in three of his seven starts but allowing multiple runs in the other four -- including a rough appearance against the Reds in which he surrendered seven runs in just one-third of an inning. Statistically, the 31-year-old owns a 4.44 ERA and 1.40 WHIP across 24.1 innings.

Bassitt (7-3) earned the win Tuesday against St. Louis after giving up four runs on six hits and two walks in seven innings. He struck out three.

While Bassitt tallied his second-fewest punchouts of the season, he fired seven innings in his second straight start. The veteran right-hander has now allowed at least four runs in three of his last four outings, and as a result his ERA has jumped from 2.83 on May 20 to 3.70 to go along with a 1.31 WHIP and 78:19 K:BB over 80.1 innings for the campaign. Bassitt is in line for a tough matchup in his next scheduled appearance versus the Diamondbacks.

Woods Richardson (2-3) took the loss Tuesday against the Rangers after giving up seven runs (six earned) on seven hits and three walks in 4.2 innings. He struck out four.

Woods Richardson was unable to complete five frames in his fourth straight start, and he yielded six earned runs in his second consecutive major-league outing after being recalled Tuesday. The right-hander remains without a quality start in 2025, as he's yet to throw at least six innings in any of his nine appearances altogether. Woods Richardson now owns an uninspiring 5.74 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 39:17 K:BB over 42.1 innings this season.

Mahle (6-3) earned the win Tuesday against Minnesota after giving up four runs on 10 hits and one walk in 5.2 innings. He struck out three.

Mahle was knocked around for a season-high 10 hits, and he's now surrendered four runs in consecutive starts. The 30-year-old right-hander served up just two home runs in his first 12 outings, but he's been tagged for two long balls over his past two appearances. Mahle still owns a strong 2.34 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 56:27 K:BB through 77 innings in 2025, and he'll try to keep the ball in the yard in his next scheduled start versus the lowly White Sox.

Crawford went 1-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's 10-3 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Crawford has gone 18-for-42 (.429) with nine walks over his last 11 games, hitting safely in nine of those contests. The shortstop was able to make a rare contribution with speed Tuesday, logging his third steal of the season in the fifth inning. Crawford has maintained a .284/.401/.391 slash line with five home runs, 24 RBI, 28 runs scored and nine doubles across 64 games.

Tellez went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 10-3 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Tellez went back-to-back with Randy Arozarena in the sixth inning to get the Mariners on the board, but it didn't spark a larger rally. Tellez is up to 10 homers this season, but he's hit just two of them over his last 20 contests. The slugger has a .208/.253/.429 slash line with 26 RBI, 17 runs scored and four doubles over 166 plate appearances in a strong-side platoon role at first base.

Arozarena went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 10-3 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Arozarena got the Mariners on the board in the sixth inning with his homer, which was his first long ball since May 30. The outfielder has shown a spark at the plate, going 9-for-19 (.474) over his last four games, adding four extra-base hits and two stolen bases in that span. For the season, he's posted a .232/.346/.401 slash line with eight homers, 11 steals, 27 RBI and 26 runs scored over 64 games.

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.

Quero went 1-for-4 with two RBI against the Astros on Tuesday.

Quero has alternated starts consistently since May 31, most recently with Kyle Teel. Both were in the lineup Tuesday, with Quero at designated hitter and Teel behind the plate. Quero has RBI in three consecutive games while collecting at least one hit in five consecutive appearances.

Robert went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and two RBI on Tuesday against the Astros.

Robert took Lance McCullers deep in the fourth inning to tally his sixth home run of the season and first since May 2. He is hitting just .184 across 237 plate appearances on the campaign and has shown very few signs of turning things around by going just 5-for-33 across his last 10 games. The one positive to Robert's season is his 21 stolen bases.
