Carrasco didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to Atlanta, giving up four runs on six hits and two walks over five-plus innings. He struck out four.

The veteran righty seemed to be in control through five innings as the Mets held a 4-1 lead, but things unraveled quickly for Carrasco in the sixth after a leadoff walk was followed by back-to-back doubles. He exited after 86 pitches (52 strikes), ending his brief two-game streak of wins and quality starts. Carrasco will carry a 5.94 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 23:15 K:BB through 36.1 innings into his next outing, which is likely to come this weekend in Pittsburgh.

Musgrove allowed one run on four hits and a walk while striking out eight over five innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Tuesday.

Musgrove had a solid outing, but the Mariners were able to work some long counts against him. The right-hander needed 102 pitches (68 strikes) to complete five innings. He's allowed just three runs (two earned) over 17.1 innings across his last three starts, and his eight strikeouts Tuesday were a season high. Musgrove's now at a 4.35 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 42:13 K:BB through 41.1 innings through eight starts overall. He's lined up for a home start versus the Guardians next week.

Wesneski allowed four runs (two earned) on two hits and a walk with four strikeouts over 4.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Angels on Tuesday.

Wesneski got through three innings with little trouble, but he gave up a solo home run to Shohei Ohtani in the fourth. Things got worse as Wesneski hit a batter and released a wild pitch in the fifth, and Brandon Hughes couldn't clean up the mess without surrendering the lead. Wesneski was initially set to pitch as a reliever following a two-week stint with Triple-A Iowa, but he'll likely be in the rotation for as long as Justin Steele (forearm) is out. Wesneski has a 4.72 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 36:12 K:BB over 47.2 innings through 10 outings (nine starts). He's tentatively lined up for a road start in San Francisco over the weekend.

Keller (7-2) took the loss Tuesday, allowing five runs on eight hits and four walks over 5.1 innings in an 11-2 loss against Oakland. He struck out one.

Keller struggled Tuesday, tying his season high of four walks while setting a new low in strikeouts. The outing continued a concerning stretch of starts for Keller, who has accrued a 7.79 ERA and a 17:7 K:BB while allowing 25 hits over his last three starts (17.1 innings) after holding a 2.44 ERA with 77 strikeouts in his first 10 appearances (62.2 innings). Though fantasy managers were likely disappointed by his struggles against MLB's lowest-scoring offense, they shouldn't hesitate to come back to Keller for his next start, which is expected to come against the Cubs at Wrigley Field.

Irvin did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing four runs on five hits and three walks over four innings against Arizona. He struck out one.

After bursting onto the scene with one run allowed across his first two starts (10.2 innings), Irvin has slowed considerably, piling up three losses with an 8.85 ERA and a 15:13 K:BB over 20.1 innings (five starts) since. Though he has matched up against some powerful offenses in the Mets, Padres and Dodgers over that five-start stretch, Irvin hasn't shown much to give fantasy managers hope for a turnaround. He is lined up for another tough start on the road against Atlanta this weekend.

Henry did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing five runs on five hits and three walks over 4.1 innings in a 10-5 victory over Washington. He struck out two.

Henry allowed a season-high five runs Tuesday, giving up four in just one swing of the bat as Stone Garrett swatted a grand slam in the first inning. He also tied his shortest start of the campaign after getting pulled in the fifth at 81 pitches. The 24-year-old has been excellent at Chase Field, sporting a 2.49 ERA across 25.1 innings compared to a 6.75 ERA over 20 innings on the road. However, he is tentatively scheduled to make his next start against the Tigers in Detroit.

Luzardo (5-4) earned the win Tuesday, allowing a run on two hits over seven innings against the Royals. He struck out eight.

Luzardo has logged at least seven strikeouts in each of his last five starts. The 25-year-old southpaw allowed just one hit through his first five innings before Nick Pratto led off the sixth with a double and eventually scored the Royals' lone run. Luzardo lowered his ERA to 3.79 with a 1.25 WHIP and 86:20 K:BB through 13 starts (73.2 innings) this season. He's currently lined up to face the Mariners on the road in his next outing.

Walker (5-3) earned the win Tuesday, allowing two hits and three walks over seven scoreless innings in a 1-0 victory over the Tigers. He struck out eight.

It was Walker's best start to date with the Phillies as he logged season highs in strikeouts and innings pitched. The 30-year-old Walker has looked better after a rough start to the season -- he has a 3.53 ERA over his last seven starts after posting a 6.91 mark over his first six. Walker now sports a 5.04 ERA with a 1.37 WHIP and 53:29 K:BB across 64.1 innings this year.

Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said Tuesday that he's unsure when Fried (forearm) will be cleared for mound work, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Fried hasn't suffered a setback, but he'll remain limited to flat-ground throwing for a little while longer as he aims to make a setback-free recovery from the left forearm strain that sent him to the 15-day injured list in early May. He was transferred to the 60-day injured list Monday, which served as confirmation that the 29-year-old southpaw will be sidelined through at least the early part of July.

Urias (hamstring) threw live batting practice Tuesday in Cincinnati, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

It was his first time facing live hitters since he was placed on the injured list May 20 due to a left hamstring strain. Urias is traveling with the Dodgers and will likely be allowed to skip a minor-league rehab assignment if his side workouts continue to go smoothly. He appears to be tracking toward a weekend return at Philadelphia. Sunday's series finale is believed to be the target.
