Ryu (2-2) gave up four runs on six hits and a walk while fanning six across five innings Thursday at Oakland. He was credited with the win.

Ryu didn't have his best stuff Thursday and tied a season high in runs allowed, but he still found a way to pick up his second win of the campaign. The veteran left-hander has done a good job limiting walks this season and owns an excellent 8.0 K/BB through 32.2 innings so far. He is slated to take the ball next week on the road against Atlanta.

Heaney did not allow a run on four hits and walked one while striking out 10 over 6.2 innings of work in Thursday's loss to the Rays. He didn't factor into the decision.

The lefty had his best outing of the year, as he threw 60 of his 95 pitches for strikes. The 29-year-old now holds a 4.20 ERA on the year, but his sterling 44:10 K:BB and 1.04 WHIP suggest that he'll be able to bring that number down.

McKenzie (1-1) pitched five scoreless innings on two hits and four walks while striking out five, earning the win over the Royals on Thursday.

McKenzie turned the tide Thursday, earning his first win of the season while holding the opposition off the scoresheet for the first time. However, the 23-year-old still walked four batters for the fourth start in a row. He'll carry a 4.94 ERA and 1.61 WHIP in 23.2 innings into Wednesday's start against the Cubs.

Cole allowed two earned runs on five hits and no walks while striking out four across seven innings Thursday against the Astros. He did not factor into the decision.

Cole allowed two solo home runs -- both to Yordan Alvarez -- but otherwise held Houston without an extra-base hit. It was something of a down performance in the sense that Cole only managed four strikeouts, but the rest of his line was still typically strong. For the season, Cole has a 1.61 ERA with a sensational 66:3 K:BB across 44.2 innings. He currently lines up to draw his next start Wednesday at Tampa Bay.

McCullers allowed three earned runs on six hits and four walks while striking out eight across six innings Thursday against the Yankees. He did not factor into the decision.

McCullers fought his command early, as he issued three free passes in the first inning. He racked up punchouts from there on, generating 20 called strikes and 14 swinging strikes on 105 total pitches. Though he surrendered a pair of home runs, he's still allowing only 0.8 HR/9 for the season. Overall, McCullers has a 3.58 ERA with a 38:18 K:BB across 32.2 frames. He currently projects to draw his next start Tuesday against the Angels.

Eovaldi allowed six runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out five over 4.1 innings in a victory over Detroit on Thursday. He didn't factor into the decision.

Facing the Tigers for the first time since 2015, Eovaldi just couldn't find a way to silence their bats. The 31-year-old gave up a season-worst six runs during his shortest start of the year. It was the first time this year Eovaldi was unable to pitch at least five innings. Luckily, his teammates made up for it offensively, racking up 12 runs en route to the win. The right-hander will bring a 4.62 ERA and 1.23 WHIP into his next projected start Tuesday against Oakland.

Turnbull surrendered four runs (two earned) on seven hits and no walks while striking out three across three innings during Thursday's loss to the Red Sox. He did not factor into the decision.

While Turnbull managed to avoid any extensive damage, he did allow a run in each of his innings during what turned out to be his shortest outing of the season. The 28-year-old didn't issue any walks for the second time this year, but the positive takeaways end there. After missing the first three weeks, Turnbull has compiled a 4.74 ERA and 1.26 WHIP across four starts.

Lyles did not factor into the decision during Thursday's win against the Twins after allowing three runs on seven hits and a pair of walks while striking out seven across five innings.

The Twins got to Lyles right away with a leadoff home run by Max Kepler in the first inning. Luckily, the right-hander pulled it together from there, only allowing another pair of runs to sneak in due to an RBI single off the bat of Willians Astudillo in the third. It wasn't the cleanest outing, but Lyles limited the damage enough to position Texas for an extra-inning win. The 30-year-old has surrendered nine homers while claiming only one victory this season, which came in his first start back on April 4. He'll look to improve upon a 7.09 ERA and 1.64 WHIP when he lines up to battle the Giants in San Francisco on Tuesday.

Mize didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 6-5 win over Boston in 10 innings after limiting the Red Sox to one run on three hits and four walks over six frames. He struck out three in the 95-pitch outing.

With only eight swinging strikes on the night, Mize didn't overpower Boston, but limiting one of MLB's most potent offenses to three base hits has to count as a win for the 24-year-old. The free passes remain a concern, however; Mize has now issued at least three walks in each of his last three starts.

Ryu (hip) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Thursday's start against the Athletics, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

Ryu spent the minimum of 10 days on the injured list with a glute strain, and he'll be on the mound for Thursday's series finale in Oakland. The left-hander recorded a 2.60 ERA and 1.05 WHIP in 27.2 innings across five starts to begin the season. Right-hander David Phelps (lat) was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move.
