Urquidy was removed from Sunday's start against the Phillies due to right shoulder soreness, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Urquidy exited Sunday's matchup with a trainer in the top of the sixth inning, and manager Dusty Baker revealed after the game that the right-hander has been diagnosed with a sore shoulder. Urquidy will see a doctor Monday, which will likely give the team a better idea of his status. If he's able to make his next start, he projects to take the mound in Seattle next weekend.

Suarez (1-1) earned the win during Sunday's 3-0 victory over Milwaukee, tossing five scoreless innings in which he allowed two hits and three walks. He struck out six.

Suarez allowed seven runs, including five homers, his last time out, but he was given another shot in the rotation and came through with his best outing of the campaign. The left-hander's ERA dropped from 10.26 to 7.89, and his six strikeouts were a season high. Despite the solid bounce back, the 25-year-old is likely still on the hot seat and could be in danger of being demoted to the bullpen or Triple-A if he struggles in his next start.

Urquidy exited Sunday's start against the Phillies in the top of the sixth inning due to an apparent injury, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Urquidy appeared to hurt himself while throwing a changeup with one out in the top of the sixth inning, and he was removed from the game after talking with a trainer. Prior to his departure, the right-hander was relatively effective after struggling in his last two starts. He allowed two runs on three hits and a walk while striking out three in 5.1 innings against Philadelphia, and it's unclear whether his injury will prevent him from making his next start, which tentatively lines up for next weekend in Seattle.

Bradish did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk over 4.2 innings during a 5-3 win over the Tigers. He struck out five.

Bradish was sharp through four straight scoreless frames, but he allowed a two-run homer and an RBI double in the fifth before getting pulled with two on and two out. It was a solid bounce back for the right-hander, who was tagged for seven runs over 2.1 innings last time out, but the results continue to be sporadic after a brief stint on the injured list. Bradish's next start is projected for Baltimore's upcoming three-game stint in Atlanta.

Turnbull (1-4) took the loss Sunday, allowing three runs (two earned) on five hits and two walks over four innings during a 5-3 loss to the Orioles. He struck out three.

Turnbull allowed two or fewer earned runs for the third time over his past four starts, but he still picked up his fourth loss. He threw just 50 of his 83 pitches for strikes and issued multiple walks for the fifth time over six starts. Turnbull's ERA actually dropped from 7.25 to 6.84, but he still doesn't look like the pitcher he was in 2021, when he posted a 2.88 ERA over nine starts (50 innings) before undergoing Tommy John surgery.

Bassitt did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing four runs on two hits and four walks over five innings in a 10-8 loss against the Mariners. He struck out seven.

After back-to-back strikeouts to start the game, Bassitt walked two and hit a batter before surrendering a grand slam to Taylor Trammell. The right-hander was able to settle down after getting through the first and was in line for the win after four straight scoreless frames. Sunday's performance marked just the second time Bassitt failed to get through six innings and snapped a run of four straight outings with two or fewer earned runs. Bassitt's next start is tentatively scheduled versus the Pirates, who are tied for fourth in MLB in runs per game (5.5).

Gonzales did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing eight runs (five earned) on eight hits and one walk over three innings during a 10-8 win over the Blue Jays in extras. He struck out two.

Gonzales was spotted a four-run lead in the top of the first, but he surrendered multiple runs in each of his three frames and was in line for the loss before Seattle made a late-inning comeback. The left-hander had been solid over his previous three starts (four total earned runs over 16.2 innings) after a shaky opening to the campaign, but Sunday's performance was his worst outing thus far and raised his ERA from 3.32 to 4.74. Things don't get easier for Gonzales, whose next start is scheduled during a three-game set with the Astros.

Gray improved to 4-0 after allowing one run on five hits and a walk while striking out seven in an 8-4 win over the Royals on Sunday.

Gray capped off April with another masterful performance. He tossed five shutout innings before the Royals finally got a run across in the sixth. The 33-year-old has now thrown at least five innings and allowed one run or fewer in each of his six starts this season, and his 0.77 ERA currently leads Major League Baseball among all pitchers with at least 25 innings thrown. Gray has been a fantasy star over the first month of the year and will look to keep things rolling in a divisional matchup against the Guardians next weekend.

Singer (2-3) was handed the loss Sunday against the Twins after giving up eight runs on five hits and three walks over 2.2 innings. He struck out five in the effort.

Singer allowed a run in the second and then completely unraveled in the third. He struck out two of the first three hitters he faced in the inning but could not get the final out. He walked two batters before Byron Buxton opened things up with a three-run blast to left. The next four batters would then reach on three base hits and a hit-by-pitch, tallying two more runs for the Twins. Singer was replaced by Josh Staumont with runners on first and third and was charged with two more runs before Staumont could close the door on the inning. After Sunday's outing, Singer now leads the majors in giving up 56 hard-hit balls over just 29.2 innings. It's been a disappointing first month of the season for him, and he now sits at an 8.49 ERA, which is the worst among all qualified starting pitchers in baseball. The 26-year-old should have an opportunity to get back on track with a projected matchup against Oakland next weekend.

Allen (1-1) took the loss Sunday, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over five innings against the Red Sox. He struck out eight.

Allen was good again in his second MLB start. He allowed just two runs on Alex Verdugo's two-run single in the fifth inning. However, he took his first loss as the Guardians could only provide one supporting run. Allen has now struck out eight batters in each of his first two outings while issuing just three walks. The 24-year-old left-hander has a 1.50 ERA and 1.00 WHIP through his first 11 innings. Allen will likely make at least one more start for Cleveland with Triston McKenzie (shoulder) and Aaron Civale (oblique) still sidelined.
