Gausman (11-8) allowed six hits and two walks while striking out five over seven scoreless innings to earn the win Tuesday over the Angels.

Gausman has pitched into the seventh inning in five of his last six starts, but this was his most impressive outing in that span. While he's walked multiple batters in five straight starts, he hasn't lost since July 5. The right-hander trimmed his ERA to 4.20 with a 1.26 WHIP and 126:41 K:BB through 139.1 innings over 24 starts this season. His next outing is projected to be at home versus the Reds.

Warren will be recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to start Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.

Although Warren was lit up for eight earned runs in just 4.1 innings during his second MLB start against the Angels last Wednesday before being returned to Triple-A, the Yankees will turn to him again to get them through the series finale. In addition to his poor big-league performance, the 25-year-old righty owns a 6.11 ERA and 1.41 WHIP through 95.2 innings in Triple-A. He will have the benefit of facing the worst offense in the majors, but he is still not a recommended streaming option. The Yankees are likely to send Warren back to Triple-A following Wednesday's contest.

Cortes (6-10) allowed three hits and struck out nine without walking a batter over seven scoreless innings to earn the win Tuesday over the White Sox.

Cortes had given up at least three runs in each of his five previous starts, but a matchup with the Pale Hose proved to be just what he needed to have a good outing. The nine strikeouts matched his season high, and this was the first time since June 23 that he was able to avoid issuing a walk. Cortes is now at a 4.20 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 133:29 K:BB through 141.1 innings over 25 starts this season. He'll look to build off this start in his next outing, which is tentatively expected to be at home versus the Guardians.

Cannon (2-6) allowed three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out four over 4.2 innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Yankees.

Cannon was responsible for two of the three home runs Juan Soto hit in this contest. It was the first time since June 29 that Cannon has given up multiple homers, and the three runs allowed were his most in four outings. He's now at a 4.02 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 55:23 K:BB through 80.2 innings over 15 appearances (13 starts). He's tentatively scheduled to make his next start on the road in San Francisco.

Baz (0-2) took the loss Tuesday against the Astros, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks over seven innings. He struck out six.

While he ultimately came away with the loss Tuesday, it was a solid outing from Baz, who delivered a season-high seven innings after he was tagged for four runs in just 4.1 frames against the Cardinals in his last start. The 25-year-old Baz now has a 4.21 ERA with a 1.43 WHIP and 32:14 K:BB through his first 36.1 innings this season. He's currently slated to face the A's on the road early next week in his next start.

Kikuchi (6-9) earned the win Tuesday over the Rays, allowing one run on three hits over 5.2 innings. He struck out five.

Kikuchi allowed a lone run in the second inning before rebounding to retire 12 of the final 14 batters he faced en route to a 3-2 Astros win. The 33-year-old Kikuchi has allowed just five runs in three starts (16.2 innings) since joining Houston after struggling to a 7.75 ERA in his final eight outings with the Blue Jays. Overall, the left-hander sports a 4.49 ERA with a 1.29 WHIP and 154:36 K:BB through 132.1 innings this year. Kikuchi is currently lined up to face the Red Sox at home early next week in his next start.

Rogers (2-11) took the loss against the Nationals on Tuesday, allowing five runs on seven hits and two walks with two strikeouts over five innings.

Rogers' velocity was down on each of his offerings, and he generated only five whiffs on 78 pitches. He has failed to register a win or quality start in three chances with the Orioles, allowing five earned runs in two of those contests. On the season, the southpaw owns a 4.89 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 92:53 K:BB across 119.2 innings and lines up for a home matchup with the Red Sox this weekend.

Skubal (14-4) earned the win against the Mariners on Tuesday, allowing one run on three hits and one walk with nine strikeouts over six innings.

Skubal was given an early lead and cruised to his second straight victory over the Mariners. The southpaw leads the majors in wins (14) and ERA (2.53) while ranking second in strikeouts (180) and WHIP (0.92). He'll try to continue building his case for AL Cy Young honors against the Yankees this weekend.

Boyd allowed one run on three hits over 5.1 innings in a no-decision Tuesday against the Cubs. He struck out six.

After missing over a calendar year following Tommy John surgery, Boyd looked solid in his first outing with the Guardians, allowing just a lone run in the second inning while making it through 5.1 frames on just 80 pitches. The 33-year-old Boyd pitched to a 5.45 ERA in 15 starts with the Tigers last season, though he posted a stellar 0.83 ERA across 21.2 innings during his rehab assignment. The left-hander is currently slated to face the Yankees on the road early next week in his second start.

Kirby (8-9) took the loss against the Tigers on Tuesday, allowing 11 runs on 13 hits and one walk with five strikeouts over 3.2 innings.

Kirby surrendered career highs in hits and runs in his second straight loss to the Tigers. He did generate 15 swinging strikes on 86 pitches but was tagged for 12 hard-hit balls and three homers. The righty has failed to record a quality start in three consecutive outings, allowing 27 hits and 16 earned runs across 14 innings in that span. Despite Tuesday's nightmare performance, the 26-year-old owns a 3.73 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 143:17 K:BB across 144.2 innings and will try to rebound this weekend against the Pirates.
