Dean Kremer SP | BAL
Orioles' Dean Kremer: Fans six in no-decision
Kremer did not factor in the decision during Monday's loss to the Brewers. He allowed four runs on nine hits and two walks over 5.1 innings while striking out six.
Kremer coughed up three runs in the second inning, including Brice Turang's two-run single. William Contreras later added an RBI double in the fifth. Kremer has been tagged with eight runs over his last 11 innings after delivering back-to-back quality starts in his previous two outings. The recent struggles have bumped his season ERA up to 5.50 with a 40:15 K:BB through 55.2 innings. Kremer is lined up to start in Boston this weekend.

Morales was promoted to Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.
Morales got off to a strong start to the 2025 season, cruising to a 2.98 ERA while striking out 53 over 42.1 innings of work. His hard work is being recognized by the club, moving him one step closer to making his big-league debut.

McDermott will be deployed as the primary pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Brewers, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Davis Martin SP | CHW
White Sox's Davis Martin: Takes tough loss
Martin (2-5) yielded two runs on four hits and a walk over 7.1 innings Monday, striking out three and taking a loss against Seattle.
Martin set a career high with 6.2 innings pitched in his last outing before setting a new career best with 7.1 frames Monday. He gave up one run through seven innings before Cam Booser gave up a grand slam to Julio Rodriguez after inheriting a runner from Martin. Over his last two starts, Martin has given up three runs, dropping his season ERA from 4.01 to 3.49 alongside a 36:13 K:BB through 56.2 innings. He's in line for a home start against Texas this weekend.

Hunter Dobbins SP | STL
Red Sox's Hunter Dobbins: Sharp in no-decision
Dobbins did not factor into the decision in Monday's 3-1 victory over the Mets, allowing one run on five hits and one walk over 4.2 innings. He struck out two.
The rookie right-hander fired just 66 pitches as he was lifted with two runners on in the fifth inning so lefty reliever Justin Wilson could face Francisco Lindor. The lone blemish on Dobbins' line came earlier in the third via a Tyrone Taylor RBI single. Dobbins looks like he's going to stick in the Boston rotation given that he's pitched to a respectable 3.62 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 25:5 K:BB across 32.1 frames. He currently lines up to make his next start against the Orioles at home this weekend.

Luis Castillo SP | SEA
Mariners' Luis Castillo: Cruises to easy win
Castillo (4-3) yielded three hits over seven shutout frames while striking out five batters and picking up a win against the White Sox on Monday
Castillo was dominant in picking up his first win since April 26. He allowed just one runner to reach scoring position and retired the final 14 batters he faced. Castillo threw 64 of 94 pitches for strikes and did not issue a free pass after walking at least two batters in each of his first nine appearances. He's given up two or fewer runs in eight of his 10 starts this season but has completed at least seven innings just twice. He'll carry a 3.20 ERA into his next matchup, which is projected to be in Houston this weekend.

Adam Kloffenstein SP | TOR
Blue Jays' Adam Kloffenstein: Cleared for return
Kloffenstein (shoulder) has posted a 2.38 ERA and 1.94 WHIP with a 15:9 K:BB across 11.1 innings so far this season at Triple-A Buffalo.
Kloffenstein began the 2025 campaign on the injured list due to right shoulder fatigue. He'd looked sharp up until his last outing Saturday against Worcester, when he surrendered three runs on three hits and seven walks over 2.2 innings, his first earned runs allowed on the year.

Ryan Pepiot RP | TB
Rays' Ryan Pepiot: Delivers lackluster quality start
Pepiot did not factor in the decision during Monday's loss to Houston. He allowed three runs on eight hits and a walk over six innings while striking out two.
Pepiot's start was better than the final line would suggest, outside of a three-run second inning by the Astros. All three runs came with two outs in the frame, starting with a solo shot by Victor Caratini. Pepiot has now produced six quality starts in 10 appearances this season, including three straight and five in his last six outings. Despite the overall consistency, he owns a disappointing 3.99 ERA with a 47:18 K:BB through 56.1 frames. Pepiot is currently lined up for a home start against Toronto this weekend.

Colton Gordon P | HOU
Astros' Colton Gordon: Fans seven in no-decision
Gordon did not factor in the decision during Monday's win over the Rays. He allowed three runs on five hits over 5.1 innings while striking out seven.
Gordon worked through four scoreless frames before coughing up a two-run shot to Danny Jansen in the fifth inning. Jose Caballero later knocked an RBI double in the sixth. Gordon generated eight whiffs on 83 total pitches after getting just two swinging strikes in his MLB debut. He's allowed three runs in each of his first two MLB starts, resulting in a 5.59 ERA over 9.2 frames. Should he see another turn in the rotation, Gordon would likely slot in at home against the Mariners this weekend.

Sawyer Gipson-Long SP | DET
Tigers' Sawyer Gipson-Long: Makes third rehab start
Gipson-Long (elbow/hip) struck out three and allowed one earned run on five hits over 2.2 innings Sunday in a rehab start with High-A West Michigan.
Gipson-Long tossed 46 pitches (30 strikes) in the third start of his rehab assignment, which began May 8 with Single-A Lakeland. The right-hander is in the process of building back up after undergoing Tommy John surgery last April and left hip surgery last July, and he should be on track for activation near the end of his 30-day rehab window. Expect Gipson-Long to eventually move his assignment to Triple-A Toledo, though it's unclear if he'll do so for his fourth rehab start, which will likely come this weekend.
