Adon (1-8) took the loss in Monday's 10-1 rout at the hands of the Dodgers, surrendering six runs on seven hits and four walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out four.

It was another rough outing for the 23-year-old, who tossed 58 of 92 pitches for strikes before getting the hook. Adon's eight losses lead the majors, and his 6.97 ERA and 1.72 WHIP make him a prime candidate to lose his rotation spot once one of Joe Ross (elbow) or Stephen Strasburg (neck) rejoin the roster in June.

Anderson (5-0) picked up the win Monday, allowing five hits over eight scoreless innings in a 10-1 victory over the Nationals. He struck out eight.

The southpaw took a perfect game into the sixth inning, retiring the first 16 batters he faced before a one-out double by Cesar Hernandez. Anderson also ended his outing in style, striking out the side in the eighth, and he fired 77 of his 101 pitches for strikes on the night. The 32-year-old hasn't had an ERA below 4.00 since his rookie season with the Rockies in 2016, but he'll carry a 3.30 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and sharp 42:5 K:BB through 43.2 innings into his next start.

Houser pitched six innings against San Diego on Monday, allowing one run on three hits and two walks while striking out four. He did not factor in the decision.

Houser held the Padres without a run for four frames before Jorge Alfaro notched an RBI groundout against him in the fifth. The right-hander finished with his second straight quality start and fourth overall this season. Houser has been inconsistent throughout the campaign, but he'll carry a solid 2.98 ERA into his next start, which is lined up to come in St. Louis this weekend.

Cobb (3-2) took the loss against the Mets on Monday, pitching six innings and allowing six runs on 10 hits and no walks while striking out seven.

Given the fact that New York put up six runs against him, Cobb was surprisingly efficient, throwing 90 pitches (64 of which were strikes) over six frames. He was largely done in by a poor third inning during which the Mets scored five runs. Cobb has given up 13 runs across 11.1 innings over his past two starts to push his season ERA up to an unappealing 6.25. He'll look for a better result in his next start, which is slated to come in Cincinnati this weekend.

Peterson (2-0) earned the win over San Francisco on Monday, allowing two runs on three hits and one walk while striking out six over six innings.

The southpaw was recalled from Triple-A prior to the game as the Mets look to fill the rotation hole caused by the recent injury to Max Scherzer (oblique). Peterson was up to the task against the Giants, yielding two runs in the second inning but otherwise putting zeroes on the scoreboard. He threw 57 of 99 pitches for strikes en route to his longest outing and first quality start of the campaign. Peterson will likely stick in the rotation for a while given the lengthy absence Scherzer is facing, and he'll carry an excellent 2.16 ERA into his next start, which is expected to come at home against Washington next week.

Gutierrez (0-6) allowed four runs on four hits and two walks over four innings Monday, striking out five and taking a loss against the Cubs.

Gutierrez took the mound for the first time since May 11 and tossed three scoreless frames before running into trouble in the fourth. He gave up an RBI double to Ian Happ followed by Patrick Wisdom's two-run blast. Gutierrez is now 0-6 with an ugly 8.70 ERA through seven starts this season. He was removed from the rotation earlier this month but never made an appearance out of the bullpen. The 26-year-old is currently lined up to face the Giants at home this weekend but it's unclear if he'll get another start.

Davies left Monday's start against the Royals due to an apparent lower leg injury, Lynn Worthy of The Kansas City Star reports.

Davies took a line drive off his lower leg and limped off the field with a trainer. Prior to the injury, he allowed five runs (four earned) on eight hits and two walks while striking out two across 3.2 innings. He will not factor into the decision, as the game was tied upon his exit. It's not clear whether Davies will be available for his next turn through the rotation.

Brubaker allowed one unearned run on five hits and two walks over 6.2 innings in Monday's win over Colorado. He struck out four and did not factor in the decision.

The lone run to score against Brubaker came in the fourth inning following his own throwing error. He's given up two or fewer runs in three of his last four starts, lowering his season ERA from 6.20 to 4.64 while posting a 26:9 K:BB during that span. Brubaker entered the year with a 9.3 K/9 and a 2.9 BB/9 through two MLB seasons; he's registered a 9.9 K/9 and a 4.4 BB/9 through 42.2 innings in 2022. The 28-year-old is lined up to take the mound in San Diego this weekend.

Peterson was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse and will start Monday against the Giants, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

The roster move was a formality, as the Mets announced Sunday that Peterson would take the ball to open the series in San Francisco. Peterson has split time between Syracuse and the majors early this season, and he's delivered a 1.89 ERA and 1.11 WHIP with a 16:8 K:BB across 19 innings in New York. Jake Reed was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse in the corresponding move.

Megill (biceps) played long toss Monday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Megill felt good afterward, and he continues to make progress in his recovery from biceps tendinitis. Manager Buck Showalter has already stated Megill will need to make a rehab appearance before returning, so his activation from the injured list is not imminent.
