Gore (2-3) came away with the loss against the Orioles on Thursday. He allowed two runs on four hits and one walk while striking out eight across six innings.

Gore faced the minimum number of batters in three of the first four innings. He gave up both of his runs in the fifth frame, and while he bounced back to retire the side in the sixth, Gore wasn't able to get enough run support from the Nationals' offense to avoid the loss. Gore generated 14 whiffs in 99 pitches (66 strikes), and his 53 strikeouts leads the majors. He'll look to get back in the win column next week on the road against the Phillies.

Dollander (1-3) took the loss against the Royals in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader, allowing five runs on seven hits and two walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out three.

It was another tough outing for Dollander, who's now allowed four or more runs in three of his first four big-league starts. The 23-year-old rookie sports a 7.91 ERA with a 1.71 WHIP and 21:7 K:BB through 19.1 innings this year. Dollander currently lines up for a home matchup with the Athletics in his next start.

Beck went 4-for-6 with three solo home runs in Thursday's doubleheader against the Royals.

Beck tallied his first home run of the season in the first game of the doubleheader, a 419-foot blast off Cole Ragans, before adding another two long balls in the nightcap. It was quite a day for the 24-year-old outfielder, who's gone 6-for-16 in five games since he was recalled from Triple-A. Overall, Beck's slashing .250/.341/.556 with seven runs scored, seven RBI and three stolen bases across 41 plate appearances as he looks to carve out a role in Colorado's outfield.

Beeks was struck in the left arm by a comebacker and exited Thursday's game against the Rays, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Beeks managed to get the out on the play but was removed quickly thereafter. The severity of the injury is unclear, but it would be bad news for an already shorthanded Arizona bullpen if Beeks misses any additional time.

Myers didn't factor into the decision in Thursday's 6-5 loss to the Giants. He allowed two runs on four hits and four walks while striking out two across four innings.

Thursday was Myers' 2025 debut after he began the season on the 15-day injured list due to a left oblique strain. The 26-year-old looked rusty at times with just two punchouts and eight baserunners in four innings of work, but he worked up to 82 pitches (47 strikes) should be clear of any workload restrictions before long. Myers is lined up to take on the White Sox on the road next week.

Roupp didn't factor into the decision of Thursday's 6-5 win over the Brewers. He allowed five runs (four earned) on six hits and three walks while striking out two over 3.2 innings.

Roupp was tagged for a run in three of the four innings he pitched, including three in the fourth frame. He was lifted after tossing 78 pitches (44 strikes) with only five whiffs, and his two punchouts were his lowest across five starts this season. Roupp has given up four earned runs in two of his last three outings, and he has a 4.91 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 31:11 K:BB across 25.2 innings for the campaign. Roupp's next start is tentatively slated for next week on the road against the Padres.

Gonsolin (back) is likely to return from the 15-day injured list next week to make his 2025 debut with the Dodgers, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

The Dodgers went with a bullpen game Wednesday the last time the team required a fifth starter, so Gonsolin should be in line to fill that spot in the rotation the next time it comes up Tuesday against the Marlins. Gonsolin didn't pitch for the Dodgers and was limited to just three minor-league rehab starts in 2024 while he completed his recovery from Tommy John surgery, and he opened this season on the IL after tweaking his back in spring training while lifting weights. The right-hander was cleared to begin pitching in minor-league games April 3 and made the fourth start of his rehab assignment Wednesday, covering five innings for Triple-A Oklahoma City and allowing two earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out three. He built up to 79 pitches (49 strikes) in that outing, so Gonsolin should be ready to handle a traditional starter's workload if the Dodgers activate him during the upcoming week.

Puk (elbow) is unlikely to pitch for at least a couple of months, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

The Diamondbacks have not officially announced a timeline for Puk, who is awaiting word from two orthopedic doctors as to the severity of his elbow injury. However, team officials have spoken as if they are preparing for Puk to be sidelined for a lengthy period, and potentially the rest of the season. His absence will likely solidify Justin Martinez's role as the closer, though Kevin Ginkel (shoulder) is also nearing a return.

Cavalli (elbow) threw five shutout innings while allowing two hits and one walk with four strikeouts across five innings with Double-A Harrisburg on Thursday, Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post reports.

Cavalli has had a long recovery from Tommy John surgery, which included some time dealing with a dead arm last summer, but he has looked good through two rehab outings. He ramped up to 69 pitches Thursday, 43 of which went for strikes. Cavalli will likely remain on the injured list until mid-May but will continue to build up in the minors.

The Rockies returned Mejia to Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday.

Mejia received his first MLB call-up Thursday, serving as the Rockies' 27th man for the team's doubleheader against the Royals. He made his debut in the second contest, allowing one unearned run on one hit while striking out one.
