  • Patrick Corbin SP | TOR

    Nationals' Patrick Corbin: Settles for no-decision

    Corbin didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's win over the Dodgers, giving up four runs (three earned) on seven hits and four walks over five innings. He struck out two.

    The veteran southpaw got ambushed for three runs in the first inning on homers by Mookie Betts and Will Smith, but Corbin shook it off and gave the Nationals a chance to mount a comeback, exiting after 88 pitches (50 strikes). The 33-year-old saw his three-start win streak snapped, but he still wraps up May with a respectable 4.21 ERA and 1.32 WHIP, albeit with a subpar 21:9 K:BB through 36.1 innings.

  • Hunter Greene SP | CIN

    Reds' Hunter Greene: Registers another strong outing

    Greene allowed one run on two hits and three walks while striking out eight batters over six innings in a no-decision against Boston on Thursday.

    Greene gave up a fourth-inning run but was otherwise in control throughout his six frames. The right-hander has allowed just one run and two hits while striking out 19 batters over 12 innings across his past two starts, and he's recorded at least eight punchouts in four consecutive appearances. Greene has also tallied at least six innings in three straight starts, which is something he did only twice in his first nine outings this season. The 23-year-old's 3.92 ERA is just decent, but only four MLB pitchers have recorded more than his 88 punchouts on the campaign.

  • Zach Davies SP | WAS

    Diamondbacks' Zach Davies: Allows three in no-decision

    Davies did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing three runs on seven hits and a walk over 5.2 innings against the Rockies. He struck out four.

    Davies didn't miss many bats Thursday but managed to hold Colorado to three runs on seven hits. The 30-year-old Davies has yet to pitch into the sixth inning through four starts this season. He's 0-1 with a 5.40 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 14:9 K:BB. Davies is currently lined up to face the Nationals in his next outing.

  • Rockies' Connor Seabold: Solid in no-decision

    Seabold did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing a run on three hits and two walks over 5.1 innings against the Diamondbacks. He struck out five.

    It was certainly Seabold's best outing of the season, as he pitched to a 6.35 ERA in his previous five starts. However, Colorado's bullpen couldn't maintain the lead as Arizona eventually came away with a 5-4 victory, leaving Seabold with a no-decision. The 27-year-old right-hander is 1-2 with a 5.40 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 32:15 K:BB across 41.2 innings this season. While the numbers aren't great, Seabold will likely remain in the Rockies' rotation while Antonio Senzatela (elbow), German Marquez (elbow) and Ryan Feltner (elbow) are all sidelined.

  • Jesus Luzardo SP | PHI

    Marlins' Jesus Luzardo: Falls to Padres

    Luzardo (4-4) took the loss Thursday, allowing five runs on four hits and a walk over 5.1 innings against the Padres. He struck out eight.

    Luzardo falls to 1-2 over his last four outings, though he's logged at least seven strikeouts in each start. He was sharp in his first three innings Thursday, retiring the first nine batters faced while punching out five. However, the Padres pushed across two runs on a pair of doubles in the fourth, and Luzardo unraveled from there. The 25-year-old lefty's ERA is up to 4.05 with a 1.35 WHIP and 78:20 K:BB. Luzardo is currently lined up for a friendlier matchup at home against the Royals in his next outing.

  • Joe Musgrove SP | SD

    Padres' Joe Musgrove: Cruises to third win

    Musgrove (3-2) earned the win Thursday, allowing one unearned run on three hits and three walks over six innings against the Marlins. He struck out three.

    Musgrove has won his last two starts, allowing just two runs (one earned) over 12.1 innings after pitching to a 6.75 ERA in his first five outings. Through seven starts, the 30-year-old right-hander now sports a 4.71 ERA with a 1.38 WHIP and 34:12 K:BB across 36.1 innings. Musgrove will look to keep rolling in his next outing, tentatively lined up for next week against Seattle.

  • Taijuan Walker SP | LAA

    Phillies' Taijuan Walker: Falls to former team

    Walker (4-3) took the loss Thursday, allowing three runs on two hits and three walks over four innings against the Mets. He struck out two.

    Walker pitched fairly well for three innings in his return to Citi Field, but Mark Canha's two-run homer in the third would be enough to tag him with the loss. The 30-year-old Walker has been inconsistent in his first season with the Phillies, though he's held opponents to three runs or fewer in five of his last six starts. Walker sports a 5.65 ERA with a 1.45 WHIP and 45:26 K:BB through 12 starts (57.1 innings) this year.

  • Nick Lodolo SP | CIN

    Reds' Nick Lodolo: Remains in walking boot

    Reds manager David Bell said Thursday that Lodolo (leg) will remain in a walking boot for the next two weeks, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    This update from Bell stems from a scheduled two-week checkup on the stress reaction in Lodolo's left tibia. There's no timetable yet for when he might resume throwing, and it's safe to say now that it won't happen before mid-June. With the buildup required once he does finally pick up a baseball again, the 25-year-old left-hander can probably be ruled out until sometime around the All-Star break.

  • Brewers' Freddy Peralta: Struggles early in quality start

    Peralta (5-5) took the loss Thursday in Toronto after he gave up three runs on six hits with three strikeouts and two walks over six innings.

    Peralta surrendered a solo shot and a two-run homer during the opening frame, which was enough to pin him with the loss since the Brewers' offense managed just a single run. The 26-year-old held the Blue Jays scoreless from there, but it's the second straight start in which he's allowed multiple long balls. He's also failed to record more than five strikeouts in any of his past five outings. Peralta has yet to find much consistency this year with a 4.62 ERA and 61:25 K:BB through 60.1 innings.

  • Noah Davis SP | PIT

    Rockies' Noah Davis: Activated, optioned to Triple-A

    Colorado activated Davis (elbow) from the 15-day injured Thursday and optioned him to Triple-A Albuquerque.

    Davis has moved past the right elbow inflammation that sent him to the injured list April 30, but the Rockies will keep him on the farm for now. He tossed four scoreless innings on 58 pitches in a rehab start Wednesday with Albuquerque. The 26-year-old had struggled to a 6.17 ERA in three major-league starts (11.2 innings) prior to the IL stint.
