Fedde (3-11) took the loss Tuesday against the Royals, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks while striking out three over 4.2 innings.

Making his first start since being acquired by Atlanta, Fedde struggled to settle in, surrendering all four of his runs across the first two innings, including a solo home run to Vinnie Pasquantino in the opening frame. Fedde now owns a 5.33 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 66:49 K:BB across 106.1 innings this season. The 32-year-old will aim for a sharper outing in his next turn through the rotation, scheduled for early next week against Milwaukee.

Priester (10-2) yielded two runs on eight hits and two walks over 5.2 innings Tuesday, striking out three and earning a win over the Cubs.

Priester fell one out short of delivering his fourth straight quality start but still moved 9-0 over his last 11 appearances. He gave up one run through five innings before Nico Hoerner knocked a solo shot in the sixth. Priester generated 11 swinging strikes on 86 pitches, including five with his slider. He's produced a 2.49 ERA over his last 12 starts, bringing his season ERA down to 3.27 with an 89:36 K:BB across 107.1 innings. Priester has not been charged with a loss since May 13. He'll look to continue riding the momentum in Atlanta next week.

Soroka didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Astros, allowing two runs on four hits and no walks in 3.1 innings. He struck out four.

Soroka struggled with efficiency Tuesday, running his pitch count up to 74 before his night concluded. Two of his hits allowed went for extra bases, and the 27-year-old right-hander remains without a quality start in any of his past five outings. Soroka holds a rough 4.87 ERA across 81.1 frames, although his strong 1.13 WHIP and 87:24 K:BB are perhaps more indicative of the quality of his pitching. He'll remain a shaky fantasy option overall and is a prime candidate to be moved prior to the trade deadline.

Glasnow didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Reds, allowing four runs on four hits and five walks while striking out three over four innings.

Glasnow struggled with his command Tuesday and paid the price in the fourth inning, surrendering a two-run homer to Jake Fraley followed by a solo shot to Noelvi Marte as part of a four-run frame. The right-hander had been sharp since returning from the IL on July 9, posting a 1.00 ERA, 0.78 WHIP and 23:5 K:BB over 18 innings entering Tuesday. The 31-year-old will aim to bounce back in his next scheduled outing early next week against the Cardinals.

Gray (10-5) took the loss Tuesday against the Marlins, allowing three runs on eight hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out five.

Gray continues to get hit around quite a bit, having now yielded at least eight knocks in three consecutive starts. While he's managed to amass at least five strikeouts and walk one or fewer in six straight outings, the 35-year-old veteran right-hander doesn't have a quality start since pitching a shutout in Cleveland during his June 27 appearance. Gray owns a mediocre 4.38 ERA over 121.1 innings, but his strong 1.22 WHIP and 133:20 K:BB offer some reasons for optimism. A daunting task awaits him against the Dodgers in Los Angeles early next week.

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.
