Lyles did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Rangers, allowing four runs on eight hits and two walks over 6.1 innings. He struck out four.

The veteran right-hander appeared headed for his third straight loss to open the campaign as Kansas City trailed 4-2 after seven innings, but the offense rallied over the final frames to force a 10th inning. Lyles has a 5.19 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 15:4 K:BB across 17.1 innings through his first three starts of the season.

DeGrom struck out nine and allowed two runs on seven hits and no walks across seven innings during Tuesday's extra-inning win over the Royals. He did not factor in the decision.

The veteran right-hander surrendered single tallies in the third and fourth innings, but he gave up just three singles across his other five frames. After an ugly debut for the Rangers during which he allowed five runs, deGrom has given up just three earned runs with a 20:2 K:BB in 13 innings over his last two starts.

Lopez did not factor into the decision on Tuesday, allowing two runs on three hits with one walk in 7.2 innings against the White Sox. He struck out 10.

Lopez rebounded from a shaky start after allowing two runs in a 31-pitch first inning. However, the 27-year-old held the White Sox scoreless for the rest of his outing and retired the final 23 batters he faced before exiting in the eighth. The right-hander has impressed in his first three starts since joining the Twins, posting an outstanding 1.35 ERA and 26:5 K:BB over 20 innings pitched. His next start is tentatively set for this weekend against the Yankees.

Muller did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing six runs on seven hits and three walks over four innings against the Orioles. He struck out three.

The left-hander avoided a loss because Oakland offered a good amount of run support, but it was not a strong outing for the rookie southpaw. A mediocre effort turned into a poor one when he gave up a three-run homer to Ryan Mountcastle in the fifth that brought Baltimore within a run. Over three starts, Muller has registered a 5.52 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 11:7 K:BB across 14.2 innings.

Rodriguez did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing five runs on six hits and four walks over 4.1 innings in a 12-8 victory for the Orioles over the Athletics. He struck out six.

Rodriguez had some good moments in his first-ever start in front of a home crowd in Baltimore, but they were too often followed by moments of frustration. The 23-year-old didn't give up a ton of hard contact, but he did struggle to consistently locate his pitches for the second consecutive outing. Despite the difficulties, Orioles manager Brandon Hyde confirmed Rodriguez will remain a member of the Baltimore rotation. His next start is scheduled against the White Sox on Sunday.

Lynn did not factor into the decision on Tuesday, allowing three runs on seven hits over six innings against the Twins. He struck out 10.

The 35-year-old righty rebounded from giving up early home runs to Byron Buxton and Michael Taylor to finish with 10 strikeouts before being relieved in the seventh inning. Despite the struggles of the White Sox rotation, Lynn's performance offers reason for optimism. He has a 7.31 ERA and 21:7 K:BB over 16 innings and is tentatively scheduled to return to the mound this weekend against the Phillies.

Manning fractured the fifth metatarsal in his right foot in Tuesday's loss to the Blue Jays. He allowed four runs over six innings on six hits with one walk and three strikeouts before exiting.

Manning was hit in the foot with a comebacker and was seen wearing a boot in the clubhouse after the game. The right-hander is heading to the injured list, and a timeline for when he'll be able to rejoin the Detroit rotation -- and who will replace him in the starting group -- should be provided in the coming days.

Javier did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing four runs on five hits and one walk over six innings against the Pirates. He struck out three.

Javier gave up a pair of homers in the no-decision; a two-run blast to Jack Suwinski in the second and a solo blast to Ji-Man Choi. He also gave up a run on a sac fly in his final frame, and he needed to be bailed out late to not pick up the loss. Javier was impressive against the Tigers on Wednesday with six inning of one-run ball, but he was disappointing in this effort. His next chance to rebound is scheduled for Monday against the Blue Jays.

Gaddis (0-1) took the loss Tuesday, allowing eight runs on eight hits and two walks over three innings against the Yankees. He struck out three.

Gaddis has pitched poorly in two of his three starts to begin the year, with the one exception being the six shutout innings he fired against the rebuilding Athletics last Wednesday. The right-hander was staked a 2-0 lead, but he gave up a run in the second and five more in the third with three of them coming on a blast by Franchy Cordero. He'd allow two more in the fourth without getting an out to see his ERA balloon to 8.53 on the season. Gaddis is lined up to face the Tigers early next week.

Cole improved to 3-0 after striking out three and allowing two runs on five hits and two walks over seven innings in Tuesday's 11-2 win over the Guardians.

Cole didn't make many bats miss Tuesday, but he was effective nevertheless against the Cleveland lineup. He was particularly good after the first inning, as he allowed a pair in that frame before keeping the Guardians off the scoreboard through the next six innings to get his third win in as many starts. Cole now has a 1.40 ERA and 22:7 K:BB over 19.1 innings to begin the campaign.
