McDermott will be deployed as the primary pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Brewers, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

McDermott is in line for his second big-league outing of the season after getting touched up for four runs over three innings May 14 against the Twins. The 26-year-old will be called upon after Keegan Akin picks up the first three outs or so.

Martin (2-5) yielded two runs on four hits and a walk over 7.1 innings Monday, striking out three and taking a loss against Seattle.

Martin set a career high with 6.2 innings pitched in his last outing before setting a new career best with 7.1 frames Monday. He gave up one run through seven innings before Cam Booser gave up a grand slam to Julio Rodriguez after inheriting a runner from Martin. Over his last two starts, Martin has given up three runs, dropping his season ERA from 4.01 to 3.49 alongside a 36:13 K:BB through 56.2 innings. He's in line for a home start against Texas this weekend.

Akin will open Tuesday's game against the Brewers, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Akin has given up at least one run in three of six appearances so far this month, but he'll be tasked with handling the first inning or so of Tuesday's matchup before handing the ball to Chayce McDermott, who's set to serve as the primary pitcher.

Dobbins did not factor into the decision in Monday's 3-1 victory over the Mets, allowing one run on five hits and one walk over 4.2 innings. He struck out two.

The rookie right-hander fired just 66 pitches as he was lifted with two runners on in the fifth inning so lefty reliever Justin Wilson could face Francisco Lindor. The lone blemish on Dobbins' line came earlier in the third via a Tyrone Taylor RBI single. Dobbins looks like he's going to stick in the Boston rotation given that he's pitched to a respectable 3.62 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 25:5 K:BB across 32.1 frames. He currently lines up to make his next start against the Orioles at home this weekend.

Castillo (4-3) yielded three hits over seven shutout frames while striking out five batters and picking up a win against the White Sox on Monday

Castillo was dominant in picking up his first win since April 26. He allowed just one runner to reach scoring position and retired the final 14 batters he faced. Castillo threw 64 of 94 pitches for strikes and did not issue a free pass after walking at least two batters in each of his first nine appearances. He's given up two or fewer runs in eight of his 10 starts this season but has completed at least seven innings just twice. He'll carry a 3.20 ERA into his next matchup, which is projected to be in Houston this weekend.

Kloffenstein (shoulder) has posted a 2.38 ERA and 1.94 WHIP with a 15:9 K:BB across 11.1 innings so far this season at Triple-A Buffalo.

Kloffenstein began the 2025 campaign on the injured list due to right shoulder fatigue. He'd looked sharp up until his last outing Saturday against Worcester, when he surrendered three runs on three hits and seven walks over 2.2 innings, his first earned runs allowed on the year.

Munoz struck out the only batter he faced and earned a save against the White Sox on Monday.

Munoz entered a 5-1 game with bases loaded and quickly shut things down by striking out Michael Taylor on four pitches. Munoz has yet to allow an earned run through 20.2 innings and has converted 15 of his 17 save opportunities. He improved his K:BB to 28:8 and has struck out at least one batter in 20 of his 21 appearances this season.

Pepiot did not factor in the decision during Monday's loss to Houston. He allowed three runs on eight hits and a walk over six innings while striking out two.

Pepiot's start was better than the final line would suggest, outside of a three-run second inning by the Astros. All three runs came with two outs in the frame, starting with a solo shot by Victor Caratini. Pepiot has now produced six quality starts in 10 appearances this season, including three straight and five in his last six outings. Despite the overall consistency, he owns a disappointing 3.99 ERA with a 47:18 K:BB through 56.1 frames. Pepiot is currently lined up for a home start against Toronto this weekend.

Gordon did not factor in the decision during Monday's win over the Rays. He allowed three runs on five hits over 5.1 innings while striking out seven.

Gordon worked through four scoreless frames before coughing up a two-run shot to Danny Jansen in the fifth inning. Jose Caballero later knocked an RBI double in the sixth. Gordon generated eight whiffs on 83 total pitches after getting just two swinging strikes in his MLB debut. He's allowed three runs in each of his first two MLB starts, resulting in a 5.59 ERA over 9.2 frames. Should he see another turn in the rotation, Gordon would likely slot in at home against the Mariners this weekend.

Meyers went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, two runs scored, a stolen base and a walk in Monday's win over Tampa Bay.

Meyers walked, swiped second base and came around to score during Houston's three-run second inning. The team was held scoreless after that until the seventh when Meyers belted a go-ahead solo shot. It was his third home run of the year and first since his multi-homer performance May 3. Meyers is now slashing .301/.368/.426 with eight stolen bases and 10 extra-base hits through 154 plate appearances.
