Vasquez (5-7) took the loss Thursday against the Mets, allowing four runs on four hits and a walk across 2.1 innings. He struck out three.

After turning in back-to-back quality starts in his previous two outings, Vasquez struggled Thursday, giving up a solo homer to Pete Alonso in the first inning before allowing another three runs before departing in the third. Through 125.2 innings this year, Vasquez sports a 3.94 ERA with a 1.36 WHIP and 74:50 K:BB. He'll look to get back on track in his next start, tentatively scheduled for next week at home against the Brewers.

Tong (2-2) earned the win Thursday over San Diego, allowing one unearned run on four hits over five innings. He struck out eight.

After allowing six runs in just two-thirds of an inning during his previous start, Tong rebounded with an excellent effort against the Padres, logging a season high in strikeouts without issuing a walk. Through his first four MLB starts (16.2 innings), Tong has posted a 5.94 ERA with a 1.44 WHIP and 21:7 K:BB. He'll look to build on Thursday's performance his next time out, tentatively slated for next week on the road against the Cubs in what should be his final start of the regular season.

The Dodgers announced Thursday that Kershaw will retire after the conclusion of the 2025 season.

Kershaw has two more regular-season starts and should pitch in the postseason in some capacity, but after that he will call it a career. The 37-year-old has pitched well in his 18th and final campaign, posting a 3.53 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 71:30 K:BB over 102 innings covering 20 starts. He's won 222 games and his career 2.54 ERA leads all active pitchers. Kershaw has won three National League Cy Young awards, one NL MVP and has made 11 All-Star teams in what will undoubtedly result in enshrinement in the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

Manaea was placed on the paternity list Thursday.

Manaea and Clay Holmes had a successful piggyback start Tuesday, with Holmes pitching the first four innings and Manaea logging the final five frames en route to picking up the win. The 6-foot-5 lefty will spend a few days with his family before following the same script with Holmes on Sunday against the Nationals.

Jones (elbow) is playing catch from 60 feet three times per week, MLB.com reports.

Jones underwent surgery to repair the UCL in his elbow in mid-May. He was given a 10-to-12-month timeline for recovery at the time, and reports state that he is still on track to return to "game-like activities" in that range.

Luzardo (14-7) took the loss against the Dodgers on Wednesday, allowing four runs on six hits and one walk while striking out six batters over seven innings.

Luzardo was pretty good in the outing, and he appeared to have a quality start in the bag after tossing seven innings of three-run ball. However, he was allowed to face one final batter -- Shohei Ohtani -- to begin the eighth, and Ohtani took him deep to make the score 4-0. Luzardo did rack up a whopping 19 whiffs, though opposing starter Blake Snell outshined him with 24 whiffs and seven scoreless frames. Luzardo likely has one more regular-season start on tap, which is slated to come at home against Miami next week.

Snell (5-4) earned the win over Philadelphia on Wednesday, allowing two hits and issuing two walks while striking out 12 batters over seven scoreless innings.

Snell dominated the Phillies throughout the victory, racking up a massive 24 whiffs to finish with a season-high 12 strikeouts -- one more than he registered in his previous start last Wednesday against Colorado. The veteran lefty did seem to fade a bit near the end of his outing, walking two batters with two outs in the seventh inning, but he convinced manager Dave Roberts -- who had ventured out to the mound -- to let him finish that frame, which he did with a punchout of Otto Kemp. It's been an uneven first season in Los Angeles for Snell, who missed four months earlier in the campaign due to a shoulder issue. However, he seems to be peaking at the right time, posting 13 scoreless innings with a 24:4 K:BB over his past two starts with the playoffs just around the corner.

Woodruff (7-2) picked up the win Wednesday against the Angels, allowing one run on two hits and no walks in five innings. He struck out nine.

Woodruff found himself in top form Wednesday, recording 17 whiffs en route to falling just one strikeout short of matching his season high. Fantasy managers may be a bit discouraged to see that the veteran right-hander was pulled after throwing just 69 pitches, but the first-place Brewers likely have an eye toward preserving him for the postseason at this stage of the campaign. Next week's scheduled start in San Diego potentially sets up as the final regular-season outing for Woodruff, who sports a 3.20 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 83:14 K:BB across 64.2 frames.

Brown completed four innings against Miami on Wednesday, allowing three runs on four hits and four walks while striking out one batter in a no-decision.

This was far from a strong performance by Brown, but he did keep his name out of the loss column for the first time through five major-league starts. Aside from that, it was a grind for the rookie right-hander, as he threw just 44 of 75 pitches for strikes and issued a career-high four free passes. Brown particularly struggled in his fourth and final frame, as he allowed four baserunners -- all with two outs -- while giving up a pair of runs. He's at a 9.17 ERA through 17.2 innings and is projected to face the Mariners in Seattle for his next start.

Weathers allowed three runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out two batters over four innings in a no-decision against Colorado on Wednesday.

Weathers yielded a constant stream of traffic, failing to record a clean inning and allowing multiple baserunners in all but one of the frames in which he pitched. That caused him to rack up a high pitch count of 80 pitches through four frames, and he consequently didn't return for the fifth inning. Weathers shined with five scoreless frames in his return from a lengthy IL stint in his previous start, so fantasy managers may not want to hold this shaky outing against him too much given that it was in the altitude of Colorado. However, Weathers is lined up for a tough matchup in Philadelphia next week, so he doesn't make for a great SP option for those in the midst of fantasy playoffs.
