Luzardo (9-5) allowed two hits and a walk over seven scoreless innings Tuesday, striking out four and earning a win over the White Sox.

Luzardo worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the first inning and didn't face much more trouble the rest of the way. It was a much-needed bounce-back performance after he gave up a combined 10 runs in 9.2 innings over his previous two appearances. The lefty threw 62 of 90 pitches for strikes but generated just six whiffs. Luzardo turned in a terrific 2.15 ERA through 67 innings to begin the year but has since produced a 7.00 ERA over his last 11 starts. He'll carry a 4.31 ERA and 140:44 K:BB into his next matchup, which is projected to be at home against the Orioles next week.

Alcantara (6-9) earned the win Tuesday against the Cardinals, allowing three hits and three walks in five scoreless innings. He struck out four.

While Alcantara threw just 55 of his 94 pitches for strikes, he notably escaped a bases-loaded jam in the fifth inning to cap off a strong showing. Tuesday marked just the third scoreless start of the season for the right-hander, who also worked at least five frames while surrendering two runs or fewer for only the sixth time among 21 appearances in 2025. Through 109 innings, Alcantara still has an ugly 6.36 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 81:42 K:BB. The veteran righty has been a rumored trade candidate ahead of Thursday's deadline, but his next turn in Miami's rotation tentatively lines up for early next week at home versus the Astros as it stands.

Lodolo did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Dodgers, allowing two runs on six hits and one walk while striking out 11 over 5.1 innings.

Coming off his best outing of the season, Lodolo followed it up with another impressive showing, setting a new season high with 11 strikeouts. The only blemish on the southpaw's line came via a two-run home run from Tommy Edman in the second inning, but he otherwise kept the star-studded Dodgers in check. The 26-year-old has been outstanding of late, compiling a 2.02 ERA with a stellar 53:8 K:BB across his last eight starts. Lodolo will look to maintain this dominant stretch in his next projected outing, which comes early next week against the Cubs.

King (shoulder) could begin a minor-league rehab assignment, likely with Triple-A El Paso, this weekend, Marty Caswell of The Sporting Tribune reports.

Manager Mike Shildt said Tuesday that King felt good after tossing 40 pitches in a sim game Monday, and the next step for the right-hander appears to be a minor-league outing. King's last game action took place May 18, so he might need multiple rehab appearances before he's ready to return to San Diego's rotation. That said, King declared himself "100 percent" and pain-free following the sim game, and he approached his usual velocity while throwing his full arsenal of pitches during the session, per AJ Cassavell of MLB.com. An early-to-mid-August return for King isn't out of the question.

The Padres optioned Kolek to Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.

Kolek will lose his place in San Diego's rotation in favor of Ryan Bergert, who was recalled to start Tuesday's game against the Mets. Kolek has surrendered five earned runs in 11.2 innings across two starts since the All-Star break, but he figures to have a good chance to make another start for the Padres before the end of the season.

The Padres recalled Bergert from Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.

Bergert has made 10 appearances (six starts) for the Padres this season, posting a 2.84 ERA and 1.14 WHIP to go with a 30:14 K:BB over 31.2 frames. The 25-year-old will make his seventh start of the season Tuesday against a Mets offense that owns a .713 OPS since the All-Star break, and he'll replace Stephen Kolek in the Friars' rotation.

Blackburn (shoulder) threw 87 pitches (56 strikes) for Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday, allowing one run on five hits and one walk over 6.1 innings. He struck out six.

The veteran righty has looked good on his rehab stint, and over two appearances for Syracuse he's posted an 11:2 K:BB in 11.1 innings with a 1.59 ERA. While the Mets have Blackburn stretched out for a potential starting role, there doesn't appear to be room for him in the big-league rotation at the moment, and the team won't need a sixth starter until the second half of August due to frequent off days. Frankie Montas could get bumped to a long-relief role, but Blackburn is the more likely candidate to move to the bullpen once he gets activated.

Marquez (biceps) threw from 105 feet Monday, MLB.com reports.

Marquez landed on the injured list Wednesday, so it's positive that he was able to resume throwing so quickly. He hopes to throw a bullpen session soon, but he does not have a timeline to return from the injured list.

Pallante (6-7) earned the win Monday, allowing a hit and a walk over seven scoreless innings against the Marlins. He struck out four.

Pallante was stellar Monday, allowing just two Marlins to reach base while cruising to his sixth win of the season. It was a much-needed rebound for the right-hander, who came into the outing with a 9.77 ERA and 1.91 WHIP over 15.2 innings in his previous three starts. On the year, he now holds a 4.62 ERA and 1.31 WHIP across 117 innings in 21 starts. While Pallante is capable of intermittent stretches of success, improving on his modest 5.8 K/9 will likely be key to him following up Monday's outing with a stretch of strong showings.

Cabrera (4-5) took the loss Monday, allowing two runs (one earned) on four hits and three walks over six innings against the Cardinals. He struck out four.

Cabrera delivered a quality start Monday but took his fifth loss of the season due to a lack of run support. The outing capped off a strong month of July for the right-hander, who posted a 2.43 ERA and 0.94 WHIP over 29.2 innings across five starts. His average fastball velocity has climbed to 96.7 mph, matching the top speed he reached as a rookie in 2021.
