Berrios (2-3) earned the win Tuesday, allowing no runs on four hits and one walk over seven innings in a 7-0 win over the White Sox. He struck out nine.

Berrios turned in his best outing of the season Tuesday, giving up no runs for the first time in any of his five starts and setting a new high in punchouts with nine. The right-hander got out to a blazing start, striking out the side in the first and retiring 12 of his first 13 batters overall. Berrios owns a so-so 4.71 ERA with a 1.08 WHIP and a 9.42 K/9 so far this season. However, brighter days appear to be ahead, considering he has allowed just three runs over his last 19 innings and has gone seven frames in each of his last two starts.

Turnbull didn't factor in the decision Tuesday in Milwaukee after he gave up two runs on three hits and three walks across four innings during a 4-3 victory. He struck out two.

The right-hander threw 42 of his 75 pitches for strikes and generated just four whiffs, as he was unable to pitch deep enough to qualify for the win after Detroit's four-run second inning. Turnbull surrendered 12 runs in his first two starts of the season, though he's been better in his past three outings with a 3.77 ERA and 11:7 K:BB over 14.1 frames.

Cortes (3-1) was charged with the loss Tuesday in Minnesota after he allowed four runs (three earned) on five hits across five-plus innings. He struck out six and walked one.

The left-hander ran into trouble during the third and sixth innings, as the Twins tallied a pair of runs against him in each frame, including a two-run homer by Byron Buxton in the sixth. Cortes certainly wasn't at his best Tuesday but still produced 13 swinging strikes and kept the Yankees close. The 28-year-old has yet to give up more than three earned runs in any of his five starts this year and has a 3.49 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 28:5 K:BB over 28.1 innings.

Rasmussen (3-2) took the loss Tuesday, allowing five runs on nine hits and two walks over 4.2 innings against the Astros. He struck out five.

Rasmussen worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the first inning and held Houston off the board over the first four frames. However, he'd stumble in the fifth, allowing five runs on six hits en route to a 5-0 loss. Rasmussen has held the opposition scoreless in three of his five outings this year, though he's allowed 10 runs over his other two starts. The 27-year-old right-hander has a 3.33 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 31:9 K:BB through 27 innings this season.

Ryan (5-0) earned the win Tuesday against the Yankees, allowing two runs (one earned) on seven hits and no walks across seven innings. He struck out seven.

The right-hander surrendered single tallies during the first and fifth innings but otherwise blanked New York by scattering seven singles. Ryan dominated the zone and threw 72 of his 91 pitches for strikes, generating 14 whiffs. He's gone at least six frames in all five of his starts this season and has a 2.81 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 36:4 K:BB across 32 innings.

Garcia (2-2) earned the win Tuesday, allowing three hits and two walks over six scoreless innings in a 5-0 win over Tampa Bay. He struck out seven.

Garcia hasn't allowed a run over his last two starts, striking out 16 in that span, after starting the year 0-2 with a 7.71 ERA in his first three outings. It certainly appears that his early season struggles are behind him, as the 26-year-old righty lowered his ERA to 4.00 with a 1.26 WHIP and 31:10 K:BB after shutting down the first-place Rays on Tuesday. Garcia will look to keep his scoreless streak going in his next start, tentatively lined up to come next week against the Giants.

Angels manager Phil Nevin said Tuesday that Suarez will remain in the team's rotation on a start-by-start basis, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Suarez's start to the season has certainly been less than ideal -- he holds a 10.26 ERA and 2.28 WHIP through his first four starts. After allowing five homers and seven earned runs against Oakland on Monday, his leash has now been tightened even further. Nevin said he liked what he saw from Suarez after making some adjustments in the fourth inning Monday, so the 25-year-old lefty will keep his spot in the rotation for now. However, one more subpar performance might result in him being demoted to the bullpen or even Triple-A Salt Lake.

Gilbert's start was pushed back to Wednesday because he felt muscle spasms in the scapula area while working out Sunday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Gilbert was supposed to take the hill against the Phillies on Tuesday, but the Mariners will have the right-hander move back a day as a precautionary move. Divish notes the right-hander threw in Philadelphia on Monday and felt fine, but the Mariners won't take any chances with the 25-year-old. Marco Gonzales is starting Tuesday's series opener in Gilbert's absence.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters Tuesday the plan is for Rodon (back) to throw off the mound Friday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Rodon was able to play catch Sunday and now will be ready to throw a bullpen as he continues to make progress from his forearm strain and back injury. The southpaw will likely need to throw several bullpens before beginning his rehab assignment, and he could be making starts for the Yankees in the middle of May if everything goes smoothly.

Skubal (elbow) is completing a throwing progression and will throw a bullpen this week, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Skubal is playing catch for a week before being schedule to throw his first bullpen since undergoing left flexor tendon surgery. It's a major step forward for the southpaw in his hope to return to the Detroit rotation in the summer months. Because of how much time he's missed, Skubal will likely need to make a handful of rehab appearances on top of completing several bullpens before he's a rotation option.
