Bibee was scratched from his scheduled start with Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday and instead could be called up to make his MLB debut with the Guardians on Wednesday versus the Rockies, Joe Noga of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Bibee has posted a 1.76 ERA and 19:8 K:BB over 15.1 innings through his first three starts for Columbus. The move to Triple-A hasn't fazed Bibee, who broke out in 2022 while logging a 2.17 ERA and 167:27 K:BB across 132.2 frames between High-A Lake County and Double-A Akron. The Guardians will likely wait and see how Tuesday's game plays out before deciding on a starter for Wednesday, but if Bibee does in fact get the nod, he could make for a solid streaming option in a favorable matchup at Progressive Field. If Bibee starts and pitches well Wednesday, he could have a chance to stick around in the rotation on a more permanent basis.

Lynn (0-3) took the loss Monday, allowing four runs on five hits and three walks over five innings against Toronto. He struck out four.

Lynn posted three scoreless frames before getting into trouble in the fourth. After retiring the first two batters in the frame, the veteran right-hander allowed five straight baserunners to reach, including a three-run homer by Cavan Biggio that gave the Blue Jays a 4-2 lead. Lynn has allowed multiple runs in each of his five starts this season and has gotten through six innings just once. He currently has a 7.52 ERA and a 1.78 WHIP, but his 32:13 K:BB through 26.1 innings is somewhat encouraging.

Eovaldi did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing four runs (three earned) on six hits and one walk over six innings during a 7-6 loss the Reds. He struck out seven.

The Reds took a 1-0 lead in the first inning on a throwing error from Josh Jung, but the Rangers responded with five unanswered runs before Eovaldi was tagged for three earned runs in the third. The right-hander was able to get through three more innings and was in line for the win until Cincinnati made a late-inning comeback. Eovaldi has gotten through six innings in three consecutive starts and currently holds a 5.20 ERA and a 1.41 WHIP with a 31:5 K:BB across his first five outings (27.2 innings).

Bradley (3-0) picked up the win Monday in an 8-3 victory over the Astros, giving up three runs on four hits over five innings. He struck out six without walking a batter.

The rookie right-hander showed some blemishes, serving up the first two homers of his career, but Bradley has now won each of his first three big-league starts, although it should be noted the red-hot Rays have averaged nine runs a game for him so far. He fired 53 of 82 pitches for strikes before exiting, and his 23:2 K:BB through his first 15.1 MLB innings has all the hallmarks of an ace. Bradley will look to make it four wins in a row in his next outing, likely to come on the road this weekend against the White Sox.

Urquidy (1-2) took the loss Monday as the Astros fell 8-3 to the Rays, coughing up six runs on seven hits and two walks over 2.2 innings. He struck out three.

Houston took leads in the top of the first and third innings, and both times Urquidy couldn't stop a relentless Tampa Bay squad from answering right back. The right-hander got the hook after 73 pitches (43 strikes), and about the only positive takeaway from the performance was that he and the Astros bullpen became the first staff this year to prevent the Rays from leaving the yard, snapping their MLB-record 22-game home run streak to begin a season. Urquidy will carry a 5.64 ERA, 1.75 WHIP and 20:9 K:BB through 22.1 innings into his next outing, likely to come at home this weekend against the Phillies. He's running out of time to prove he should keep a rotation spot once Lance McCullers (forearm) is ready to return.

Kremer (2-0) picked up the win Monday, giving up four runs on seven hits and a walk over 5.2 innings in a 5-4 victory over the Red Sox. He struck out five.

The right-hander had a rocky start to the game and dug the O's a 4-0 hole after three innings, serving up long homers to Triston Casas and Rafael Devers along the way. However, Kremer regained his focus over the next few frames and gave his offense a chance to wake up. While his undefeated record is nice, the 27-year-old will take a less appealing 6.20 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 19:7 K:BB through 24.2 innings into his next start, likely to come this weekend in Detroit.

Sale (1-2) took the loss Monday as Boston was downed 5-4 by Baltimore, surrendering five runs on nine hits and a walk over five innings without striking out a batter.

While the veteran lefty did keep the ball in the park, four of the O's hits went for doubles, as Sale gave up plenty of loud contact after being staked to an early 4-0 lead. He also wasn't fooling anyone, as he managed a paltry two swinging strikes among his 83 pitches. Sale has only one quality start through his first five outings of the season and has yet to string together back-to-back solid performances, saddling him with an 8.22 ERA and 1.74 WHIP despite a 30:10 K:BB through 23 innings. He'll try to turn things around his next time out, which is likely to come at home this weekend against the Guardians.

Quantrill (1-2) took the loss Monday, coughing up five runs on eight hits and two walks over 3.1 innings as the Guardians fell 6-0 to the Rockies. He struck out two.

A Jurickson Profar solo shot in the first inning set the tone for the evening, and Quantrill got chased in the fourth after giving up four singles and two walks to the first seven hitters he faced in the frame. It's not clear if the leg bruise he suffered in his prior start after a line drive comebacker had any impact on his poor performance, but the right-hander will take a 5.40 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 15:8 K:BB through 25 innings into his next outing, likely to come this weekend in Boston.

Keller did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing four runs on four hits and six walks over four innings against the Diamondbacks. He struck out two.

Keller has now lasted just four innings in each of his last two starts. In fact, the right-hander has completed six innings only once across his five appearances this year. The struggling Royals desperately need the 27-year-old to give them more length on a consistent basis, in order to preserve their bullpen. The veteran is tentatively slated to face the Twins on the road in his next start.

Suarez allowed seven runs on eight hits and two walks over five innings during Monday's loss to Oakland. He struck out five and did not factor in the decision.

Suarez was cursed by the long ball Monday, coughing up five home runs in the ugly start. He served up back-to-back shots to Brent Rooker and Jesus Aguilar in both the first and third innings. Suarez was in line for the loss before the Angels' bats got hot late and forced an extra inning. He's struggled out of the gate this season, posting an ugly 10.26 ERA and 12:9 K:BB through four outings. At this point, it's unclear if he'll get another shot in the rotation.
