Ritchie (1-1) took the loss Monday against Miami, allowing six runs on six hits and one walk in four innings. He struck out four.

The rookie right-hander turned in his worst major-league start so far, surrendering a season-high six runs in a season-low four innings. Ritchie also plunked a pair of batters on the evening, with most of the damage being done during a disastrous fourth inning that saw the Marlins tag him for five runs. He's set to bring an underwhelming 4.91 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 21:16 K:BB over 25.2 frames into a difficult matchup against the division-rival Nationals this weekend.

Yelich went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, a walk, two total runs and two total RBI in a 9-3 win against the Cubs on Monday.

Yelich kicked off the scoring in the contest with a solo shot in the second inning and added an RBI double in the sixth. The veteran slugger recently missed four games due to back soreness, but he doesn't seem to have missed a beat, as he's homered in consecutive contests since his return. Yelich had gone deep just once in his first 16 games this season prior to the two-game power surge.

Meyer (4-0) notched the win Monday against Atlanta, allowing no runs on three hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out six.

Meyer twirled a gem Monday, scattering singles across six shutout frames against a tough Atlanta lineup. The 27-year-old right-hander is putting together a breakout start to his campaign, tossing at least five innings while yielding two runs or fewer in six of his last eight outings. Still unbeaten on the year, Meyer is set to carry a strong 2.85 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 60:19 K:BB over 53.2 innings into a matchup with the surging Mets over the weekend.

Bauers went 2-for-4 with a home run, two total runs and four total RBI in a 9-3 victory versus the Cubs on Monday.

Bauers gave the Brewers their second run of the game with an RBI single in the fourth inning. He then blew the contest open with a three-run blast in the fifth that made the score 8-0. Bauers extended his hitting streak to nine games, and he's logged multiple hits in five of those contests. He's batting a stellar .438 with two homers, eight RBI, seven runs and a stolen base during the hitting streak.

Imanaga (4-4) took the loss against the Brewers on Monday, allowing eight runs on nine hits and three walks while striking out two batters over 4.1 innings.

Imanaga got through three frames with just one run on his ledger, but Milwaukee tagged him for four runs in the fourth. The fifth didn't go any better for the southpaw, as Jake Bauers belted a three-run homer against him with one out to give the Brewers an 8-0 lead and end Imanaga's outing. The eight runs Imanaga allowed marked a season high, and his stretch of three straight quality starts came to a crashing halt. Imanaga's ERA jumped over a run from 2.32 to 3.38 as a result of the blow-up.

Bohm went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's 5-4 win over the Reds.

Batting third in Philadelphia's lineup for the first time this year, Bohm smashed his fourth homer of the season Monday. The third baseman has hit fifth or higher in the batting order in six consecutive games, so the Phillies are rewarding his hot streak at the plate. Over his last 22 contests, Bohm is hitting .301 (25-for-83) with three long balls, five doubles, 10 RBI and 10 runs scored to raise his season OPS to .604.

Gordon is expected to work in bulk relief behind opening pitcher Sammy Peralta during Tuesday's game against the Rangers, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Though he won't be drawing the start, Gordon will be essentially filling the rotation spot that previously belonged to Chase Dollander, who was placed on the injured list due to a right elbow sprain. After the injury limited Dollander to just one inning in his start this past Thursday against the Pirates, Gordon came on in long relief, striking out five while allowing one run over four frames. Gordon tossed 69 pitches in that appearance and should be capable of handling a typical starter's workload once Peralta exits Tuesday's contest, likely after working the first inning or two.

Peralta will serve as the Rockies' opening pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Rangers, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Peralta is lined up to make his first big-league appearance of 2026 after being called up from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday. He'll be expected to work the first inning or two before making way for a bulk reliever, with rigthy Tanner Gordon being the most likely candidate to cover multiple frames out of the bullpen.

Duran secured the save Monday against the Reds, throwing a clean ninth inning. He struck out two.

Duran has been especially dominant as of late, fanning multiple batters in six consecutive outings since coming off the injured list with an oblique strain in early May. The hard-throwing right-hander has established a very strong grip on Philadelphia's closer role, boasting a 1.42 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 21:5 K:BB over 12.2 innings while successfully converting all eight of his save opportunities.

House was optioned to Triple-A Rochester on Monday.

House has flashed plenty of pop early in the 2026 campaign, registering seven home runs over 44 games, including three home runs in May, but the club has elected to send him down. This move is presumably to make room for Dylan Crews, who is expected to be promoted ahead of Tuesday's matchup.
