Springs (3-3) allowed four runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out five over five innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Cardinals.

Springs was blitzed as the Cardinals rallied for four runs in the first inning. The Athletics got three back in the next frame, but they never pulled even, leaving Springs to take the loss even after he settled in to avoid further damage. He's gone five starts without a win, allowing 19 runs over 24.1 innings in that span. For the season, he's at a 4.22 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 44:15 K:BB through 49 innings over nine starts. The southpaw's next outing is projected to be a favorable home matchup versus the Giants over the weekend.

Ober (4-2) earned the win over Miami on Tuesday, allowing two hits and striking out seven batters without issuing a walk over nine scoreless innings.

Ober was in complete control throughout Tuesday's outing, limiting the Marlins to just two baserunners on a pair of singles. He retired the final 16 batters he faced and needed only 89 pitches to complete his first career shutout. It was also just the third complete game of Ober's six-year MLB tenure. After struggling to a career-worst 5.10 ERA and 1.30 WHIP over 27 starts last season, the right-hander has pitched much better so far in 2026. He has a 3.46 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 39:15 K:BB across 52 innings spanning nine starts.

Corbin didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Rays, allowing three runs on nine hits and one walk with one strikeout across 4.1 innings.

Corbin didn't have a single clean inning against Tampa Bay, as he generated just four whiffs on 86 pitches before getting the hook in the fifth. The veteran left-hander doesn't have swing-and-miss stuff at this stage of his career and is merely trying to soak up innings in Toronto while the Blue Jays deal with injuries in the rotation. Through seven starts, Corbin owns a 3.93 ERA and 22:10 K:BB across 34.1 innings.

Fedde did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Royals, allowing two runs on six hits and one walk while striking out two over five innings.

Fedde was tagged early, surrendering solo homers to Bobby Witt and Salvador Perez in the first inning, but he settled down nicely afterward and kept Kansas City scoreless over the next four frames. The veteran right-hander continues to struggle with the long ball, now allowing seven home runs across his last three starts. Despite that issue, Fedde still owns a respectable 3.77 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and a 26:14 K:BB across 43 innings. He'll face a difficult test in his next outing against the Cubs as he searches for his first win of the season.

McClanahan didn't factor into decision Tuesday against the Blue Jays, allowing one hit and one walk with seven strikeouts across five shutout innings.

McClanahan exited with a 4-0 lead, but the Tampa Bay bullpen imploded in the seventh inning, allowing five runs on four hits, one walk and an error. McClanahan hasn't allowed a run in any of his last four starts and has blanked the Blue Jays across 10.2 innings in back-to-back outings. The left-hander's off-speed and breaking stuff has been well above-average this season, and he now owns a 2.27 ERA and 41:15 K:BB across 39.2 innings. McClanahan is lined up to face the Orioles at home next week.

Bello didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Phillies, allowing one run on four hits and one walk with five strikeouts across 6.1 innings.

Bello has worked behind opener Jovani Moran each of his last two outings, and Bello has responded well with just two runs allowed on eight hits and two walks with 12 strikeouts across 13.1 innings. The right-hander has lowered his ERA to 6.46 with a 29:17 K:BB across 39 innings this season. Look for Boston to potentially again use Bello behind Moran for his next outing since it's yielded positive results the past two times against Detroit and Philadelphia.

Woo (3-2) allowed two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out nine over six innings to earn the win Tuesday against the Astros.

Woo threw 74 of 104 pitches for strikes, earning a second straight win. He matched his season high in strikeouts, a mark he's reached in three of his nine starts so far. He's also recorded six quality starts, though a couple of bad outings have taken a toll on his overall numbers. Woo has pitched to a 3.91 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 47:10 K:BB through 53 innings over nine starts this season. The Mariners' rotation is getting a boost Wednesday with the return of Bryce Miller (oblique), which will likely push Woo's next start to next week in a home matchup against the White Sox.

Imai (1-1) allowed six runs on five hits, three walks and two hit batsmen while striking out three over four innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Mariners.

Imai missed a month due to right arm fatigue. He gave up two big knocks Tuesday, a two-run home run to Randy Arozarena in the second inning and a grand slam to Dominic Canzone in the fourth. Those were the first two homers Imai has allowed in his major-league career. He threw 46 of 80 pitches for strikes in his return from the injured list, so his workload may need to be monitored going forward. With a 9.24 ERA, 2.05 WHIP and 16:14 K:BB over 12.2 innings across four starts, Imai hasn't done much yet to impress in fantasy. He is tentatively projected to make his next start on the road in Minnesota.

Flaherty (0-4) took the loss Tuesday against the Mets, allowing three runs on six hits and three walks while striking out two over 3.2 innings.

Flaherty labored throughout the outing, needing 97 pitches to record just 11 outs, including 53 pitches over the first two innings alone. The veteran right-hander has struggled badly to work deep into games lately, failing to complete four innings in four of his last five starts. During that stretch, he has surrendered 15 earned runs across 17.2 innings while battling inconsistent command. Flaherty now owns a 5.73 ERA, 1.73 WHIP and 44:29 K:BB across 37.2 innings and will seek to record his first win in his next scheduled start, against Toronto.

Mize (thigh) threw live batting practice Monday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Mize began throwing bullpen sessions over the weekend, and his quick return to facing live hitters keeps him on track for a brief stay on the injured list. The 29-year-old righty will be eligible to return from his right calf strain Thursday.
