Boyd will start Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Red Sox, Anthony Fenech of the Detroit Free Press reports.

This was expected after Boyd's scheduled start Monday was pushed back by a day due to inclement weather in Boston. The southpaw has impressed through four starts this season (2.96 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 36:7 K:BB over 24.1 innings) and will look to keep things rolling Tuesday.

Sale's scheduled start against the Tigers on Monday was postponed due to inclement weather, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

The game will be made up as part of a doubleheader Tuesday. Sale figures to start one of the two games, though the Red Sox have yet to confirm which one. The southpaw has struggled through four starts this season, going 0-4 while posting an 8.50 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 14:5 K:BB through 18 innings.

The game will be made up as part of a doubleheader Tuesday. Boyd figures to start one of the games, though it remains to be seen which one. Through four starts this season, Boyd owns a 2.96 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 36:7 K:BB over 24.1 innings.

Bieber (2-1) was charged with seven runs (five earned) on five hits over 2.1 innings in a loss to the Braves on Sunday. He struck out three and walked one.

Josh Donaldson accounted for most of the damage against Bieber, taking the right-hander deep in the first and second innings. Manager Terry Francona wouldn't let Bieber work out of trouble in the third, pulling him after only 65 pitches. It was a step backward, but Bieber was a top-15 starting pitcher in terms of earned 2019 value before this outing. He will look to get back on track next weekend in Houston.

Bundy (0-3) gave up four runs (two earned) on seven hits with one walk while striking out four over six innings in a loss to the Twins on Sunday.

An error to start the game immediately put Bundy in a difficult situation. Even with the loss, this is an encouraging start as he induced 13 swinging-strikes and did not allow a home run in his longest outing of the season. Bundy will look to build on this performance next Sunday in a rematch in Minnesota.

Gibson (1-0) struck out six and gave up two runs on five hits with no walks over six innings in a win over the Orioles on Sunday.

Gibson turned in a fine outing to win his first decision. This was easily his best start, as he induced 14 swinging strikes and 17 called strikes. The right-hander has a 1-0 record with a 6.10 ERA through four starts this season. Gibson will make his next start next Sunday in a rematch against the Orioles.

Glasnow struck out five and yielded two runs on three walks and three hits in 5.1 innings in a no-decision against Boston on Sunday.

Coming into Sunday's start, Glasnow had issued just three free passes in 24 innings but matched that total against the Red Sox. He also threw just 49 of 76 pitches for strikes. Still, he owns a terrific 29:6 K:BB and 1.53 ERA in 2019. The 25-year-old righty will try to get his revenge in Boston next Saturday.

Chirinos will start Monday against the Royals, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.

Chirinos has been used as both a starter and a long reliever -- pitching the bulk of the game after an opener -- so he should be able to pitch fairly deep into Monday's game. He's had good results this season, posting a 3.26 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 19:4 K:BB across 19.1 innings.

Paxton struck out 12 and gave up just three hits and one walk over six scoreless innings in a no-decision against the Royals on Sunday.

The left-hander was lights out for a second straight start and was unlucky not to get rewarded with the win as his bullpen melted down and coughed up a 5-0 lead. Paxton is locked in at the moment, as he's racked up 24 strikeouts against just two walks over his last 14 innings without allowing a run over that time. He's now sporting a 3.10 ERA, a 1.14 WHIP and an excellent 43:8 K:BB through 29 innings.

Snell (fractured toe) will not return for the series against the Royals and will throw another bullpen session either Monday or Tuesday, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.

A best-case scenario had Snell returning for Wednesday's game against the Royals, but now it seems like the new best-case scenario is that he returns for next weekend's series in Boston. This makes for a very tricky decision for fantasy managers, as we probably won't know if he will start next weekend until after weekly lineups lock.
