Civale and Cleveland won't face the White Sox on Wednesday after the game was postponed due to inclement weather in Northeast Ohio, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.

The two teams will make up Wednesday's game during a traditional doubleheader on Memorial Day. As a result of the postponement, Cleveland will push each of its five starters back a day in the pitching schedule with the exception of Shane Bieber and Triston McKenzie, who will flip spots in the order. That puts Civale on track to start Thursday's series opener with the Yankees in Cleveland, according to Mandy Bell of MLB.com.

Lyles (1-1) allowed three earned runs on five hits while striking out five across six innings Tuesday, taking the loss to the Angels.

Lyles made his longest and first quality start of the season, but it resulted in his first loss. He has allowed at least one home run in each of his four starts, with Tuesday's coming from the bat of Mike Trout in the sixth inning. The 30-year-old has consistently produced decent starts without any splashy numbers and by consistently limiting damage, producing a 4.64 ERA in 21.1 innings.

Canning (1-1) allowed two earned runs on two hits while striking out two across 2.1 innings, earning the win over the Rangers on Tuesday.

Canning was moved to the bullpen after Shohei Ohtani reentered the starting rotation. In the 24-year-old's first relief appearance, he surrendered a solo home run to Nick Solak but did enough to maintain the lead. The Angels have some form of a six-man rotation going on and Canning's role will likely bounce between starting and relief through the season. He has a 5.68 ERA in 12.2 innings.

Garcia (0-1) was charged with the loss against Colorado on Tuesday despite giving up two earned runs across 5.2 innings. He allowed three hits and three walks while striking out six.

The right-hander averaged 65 pitches over his first two outings this season, so he had no issue absorbing 5.2 frames on 84 pitches against the Rockies. Garcia held Colorado scoreless until a two-out double off the bat of C.J. Cron in the sixth inning chased him from the game. He was impressive overall, however, inducing 14 swinging strikes and allowing only three hits. Garcia will likely return to a long-relief role moving forward, but he showed well enough Tuesday to remain a rotation candidate for Houston if the need arises.

Keller (1-2) was charged with the loss against Tampa Bay on Tuesday, pitching 1.2 innings and allowing five runs on three hits and three walks while striking out one.

Keller made it through the first inning with one run charged to his tally, but he fell apart in the second. The Rays notched only one hit in the frame but worked three walks off the right-hander to chase him from the game. Keller was largely responsible for his own demise, as he threw only 29 of 54 pitches for strikes and uncorked a wild pitch to boot. This was the 25-year-old's second major implosion of the campaign, leading to an ugly 12.00 ERA. He'll try to turn things around Monday when he takes on the Tigers in Detroit.

Hill allowed four runs on four hits and a walk over two innings in a no-decision against Kansas City on Tuesday. He struck out one.

The veteran southpaw made it through his first two frames unscathed, but he exited in the third after the first five Royals reached base, resulting in four runs crossing the plate. Hill has given up exactly four runs in each of his four starts this season, and he's pitched past the fifth inning only once, with Tuesday's outing his shortest of the campaign thus far. His ERA now stands at an inflated 8.82, though he has yet to be tagged with a loss. Hill will strive for a better outcome when he takes on Oakland at home Monday.

Luzardo (1-1) recorded the win in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Twins, scattering two hits and a walk over 5.1 scoreless innings while striking out six.

It was the best outing of the season for the young southpaw, who fired an impressive 44 of 65 pitches for strikes before exiting the game. Luzardo still has a 5.89 ERA through 18.1 innings and hasn't been allowed to go too deep into any games yet, but his 21:8 K:BB highlights his upside. He's next set to take the mound Sunday in Baltimore.

Rodon (3-0) earned the win Tuesday at Cleveland after allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits with eight strikeouts and five walks over five innings.

The 28-year-old followed up his no-hitter with another effective performance Tuesday, though the walks led to an elevated pitch count and prevented him from pitching deeper into the contest. The runs were the first Rodon has surrendered this season, and he now has a 0.47 ERA, 0.68 WHIP and 24:8 K:BB through three starts (19 innings). He lines up to face the Tigers at home next Tuesday.

Berrios (2-2) took the loss in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Athletics, allowing one run on four hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out five.

It was another sharp outing for the right-hander, who tossed 59 of 89 pitches for strikes, but the Twins failed to score a run in either half of the twin bill. Berrios will take a 3.00 ERA and 30:7 K:BB through 21 innings into his next start, set for Monday in Cleveland.

Ryu (1-2) allowed four earned runs on eight hits and no walks while striking out two across five innings to take the loss Tuesday against the Red Sox.

Ryu had little trouble getting through three scoreless innings to begin the outing. However, he ran into trouble in the fourth, allowing singles to the first two batters he faced followed by a three-run homer to Xander Bogaerts. Entering the contest, Ryu had allowed only four earned runs across his first 19 innings of the season to go along with a 19:2 K:BB. This performance should just be a small setback, and Ryu will look to bounce back in his next start, currently projected to come Sunday at Tampa Bay.
