Iglesias earned a save against the Angels on Tuesday, allowing two hits and striking out three batters over 1.2 scoreless innings.

Iglesias got the call in the eighth inning with Atlanta up 5-2 and the tying run at the plate for the Angels with one out. He struck out both Logan O'Hoppe and Travis d'Arnaud to escape the jam, and then returned for the ninth after Atlanta plated two more runs. Iglesias notched a third straight strikeout to begin the ninth before giving up consecutive singles, and he was able to end the game by inducing a double-play grounder. For Iglesias to complete more than one inning was pretty unusual -- it was the first time he's done so during the regular season since September of 2024. With Robert Suarez around as his setup man, Iglesias doesn't figure to pitch more than one frame frequently, but his fantasy managers are certainly glad he was able to do so Tuesday since it resulted in his second save of the season.

Misiorowski (1-1) took the loss Tuesday against the Red Sox, allowing three runs on two hits and four walks with 10 strikeouts across 5.1 innings.

Misiorowski struck out the first five batters he faced Tuesday and was trading zeros with Garrett Crochet before Boston broke through in the bottom of the sixth inning. Misiorowski loaded the bases with three walks, and DL Hall came on with one out in a 0-0 game. Trevor Story tagged Hall for a two-run double before Caleb Durbin drove in a third run with a groundout. Misiorowski's stuff was electric, as he averaged 98.8 mph with his fastball. The 24-year-old has a league-best 28 strikeouts through three starts with nine walks and a 3.31 ERA. He's slated to face the Blue Jays at home next Tuesday.

Moniak went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Tuesday against the Astros.

Moniak remains a key contributor in the Rockies' lineup against right-handed pitching, slotting either second or third in the order. His two-run home run in the seventh inning came off of Kai-Wei Teng, his third of the season across only four starts. Moniak also has at least one hit in all four of his starts.

Sanchez (1-1) took the loss against San Francisco on Tuesday, allowing four runs (two earned) on 11 hits and no walks while striking out six batters over five-plus innings.

Sanchez entered Tuesday having given up just one run on seven hits through two starts spanning 11.1 frames, but he was less effective against the Giants. The southpaw had to frequently work out of trouble over his first three innings, though he managed to make it through four frames with just one run allowed. Things fell apart for Sanchez a bit in the fifth, as he yielded a pair of runs (both were unearned) on three hits, including a double. He returned for the sixth but allowed the only two batters he faced to reach base before being pulled, with one more run being charged to him following his departure. Sanchez's ERA still sits at an attractive 1.65, and this shaky outing isn't going to remove him from the conversation as one of the baseball's top starting pitchers.

Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-1 loss to the Pirates.

Bogaerts accounted for the Padres' offense in this one, as San Diego mustered three hits total. Bogaerts' first home run of the season came off Paul Skenes in the top of the seventh inning. The veteran shortstop is now slashing .233/.283/.349 with the one homer, four RBI, one run scored and 3:4 BB:K across 46 plate appearances.

Pivetta (1-2) took the loss Tuesday against the Pirates, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk with eight strikeouts across five innings.

Both Pivetta and Paul Skenes were firing up zeros before the Pirates were able to break through against Pivetta in the bottom of the fifth inning, as Oneil Cruz ripped a two-run double with two outs. Pivetta then struck out Brandon Lowe to end his night after 86 pitches. Through three starts, Pivetta owns a 5.54 ERA and 20:6 K:BB across 13 innings. His next start will come at home against the Rockies on Sunday.

Griffin went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 7-1 win over the Padres.

Griffin ended an 0-for-13 skid at the plate with an infield single in the fifth inning. He later came around to score on a double by Oneil Cruz. Griffin then grounded into a double play in the seventh before singling home a pair of runs in the eighth. Through his first 20 plate appearances, Griffin is slashing .176/.300/.235 with a double, three RBI, two runs scored and a 2:4 BB:K. He still has yet to attempt to steal a base after swiping 65 bags in the minors last season.

Ray (2-1) earned the win over Philadelphia on Tuesday, allowing three hits and issuing three walks while striking out seven batters over 6.2 innings.

Ray has posted exactly seven punchouts in two straight outings and has compiled an 18:6 K:BB through 17.1 frames spanning three starts. His performance Tuesday was his best so far, as he completed six innings for the first time while recording his first quality start and second victory. Ray lowered his ERA to 2.08 and has yet to give up more than two earned runs in an outing. He lines up to make his next start on the road in Cincinnati.

O'Hearn went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Tuesday's 7-1 win over the Padres.

O'Hearn has reached base safely in all 10 starts this season and has reached base multiple times in nine of those 10 contests. He's swinging a hot bat in the middle of the Pittsburgh lineup and is now slashing a team-best .389/.489/.694 with three home runs, 11 RBI, six runs scored and an 8:7 BB:K across 45 plate appearances.

Castro went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in a 5-1 win against Houston on Tuesday.

Castro put the Rockies on the board with a run-scoring single in the second inning and added a 436-foot, two-run blast in the fourth. The long ball was his first of the campaign, though he also has three doubles among his 10 overall hits. Castro has logged at least one start at each infield position already this season and is slashing .250/.318/.400 with seven RBI while maintaining an everyday role in the lineup.
