Rea allowed four runs on seven hits and no walks while striking out five in 4.1 innings Tuesday against the Phillies. He did not factor into the decision.

Only two of the seven hits allowed by Rea went for extra bases -- one being a two-run shot by Max Kepler in the second inning and the other a leadoff double in the fifth by Brandon Marsh. Following the leadoff knock, Rea found himself with runners on second and third with one out before being replaced by Ryan Brasier, who allowed both inherited runners to score. Tuesday was Rea's first time not making it to five innings since April 18. He's tentatively set to complete a two-start week at home against the Pirates this weekend.

Palmquist did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing two runs on four hits and three walks over four innings against the Giants. He struck out two.

The left-hander was removed in the fifth inning after surrendering a home run to Willy Adames and issuing a walk to Heliot Ramos. Despite Palmquist completing just four innings, allowing only two runs made this one of his better outings of the season. Through five starts, the 24-year-old owns a 7.77 ERA and 1.82 WHIP over 22 innings.

Harrison did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks over five innings against the Rockies. He struck out six.

The left-hander was burned by the long ball Tuesday, giving up home runs to Ryan McMahon and Kyle Farmer. Harrison has made four starts since joining the rotation May 24, with mixed results. The 23-year-old owns a 4.91 ERA and 1.36 WHIP over 18.1 innings as a starter, compared to a 3.38 ERA and 0.94 WHIP in 5.1 innings out of the bullpen.

Mikolas (4-3) took the loss Tuesday against the Blue Jays after giving up six runs on nine hits and no walks in five innings. He struck out two.

Mikolas conceded his most runs since surrendering a whopping eight in his second start of the season. This marked already the sixth time this year he fanned two or fewer. Mikolas holds a lackluster 4.48 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 38:17 K:BB across 66.1 innings ahead of his next scheduled matchup against the Brewers.

Priester (4-2) earned the win Tuesday against Atlanta after giving up one run on seven hits and no walks in six innings. He struck out seven.

Priester is beginning to find a rhythm after being lit up for seven runs back on May 2, tossing at least five innings in each of his last seven starts while allowing one run or fewer on five occasions during that stretch. The right-hander matched a season high in strikeouts Tuesday, and he registered his third quality start of the year. Priester has produced a 2.35 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 26:10 K:BB over his last seven outings (38.1 innings), and he'll look to keep the good times rolling his next time out versus the Cardinals.

Holmes (3-5) took the loss Tuesday against Milwaukee after giving up three runs on five hits and three walks in 5.1 innings. He struck out nine.

It was a mixed bag for Holmes, who matched his season high in strikeouts but allowed three runs while working fewer than six innings in his third straight start. The 29-year-old right-hander did generate a staggering 20 whiffs Tuesday, but three of his five hits allowed went for extra bases, and two of them left the yard. Holmes will take a 4.07 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 77:32 K:BB through 73 innings into his next scheduled outing versus the Mets, who are slugging a potent .456 against righties since May 1.

Pfaadt (8-4) allowed two runs on nine hits and a walk while striking out four over five-plus innings to earn the win over the Mariners on Tuesday.

Pfaadt had five scoreless innings on his ledger before allowing solo home runs to Randy Arozarena and Rowdy Tellez in the sixth. Even with the late fade, this was a massive improvement over Pfaadt's previous two outings, during which he allowed a total of 14 runs over three innings. The right-hander is still at an ugly 5.37 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 55:18 K:BB through 70.1 innings over 14 starts this season. His next start is projected to be on the road versus the Blue Jays next week.

Gordon (oblique) played catch on the field prior to Tuesday's game against the Giants, MLB.com reports.

Gordon has been sidelined since June 3 with an oblique strain, and Tuesday's throwing session was his first since he was placed on the injured list. There is no timeline for his return.

Cease (2-5) allowed three hits and five walks while striking out 11 over seven scoreless innings to earn the win over the Dodgers on Tuesday.

Cease overcame issuing a season-high five walks to post his first scoreless outing of the season. The 11 strikeouts were also a season high, and it was enough to get him back in the win column for the first time since April 2. The right-hander is now at a 4.28 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 96:29 K:BB through 75.2 innings over 14 starts, five of which have been quality starts. Cease's next outing is projected to be a rematch versus the Dodgers in Los Angeles early next week.

Gore didn't factor into the decision during Tuesday's extra-inning loss to the Mets, allowing two runs on five hits and no walks across six innings. He struck out six.

Gore turned in his fourth consecutive quality start, adding to what's been a stellar campaign for the 26-year-old. He allowed a solo homer to Juan Soto in the third inning, marking the first long ball Gore has allowed in six starts. Gore has struck out six or more batters in all but one of his 14 starts this season, and he owns a 2.88 ERA to pair with a 114:22 K:BB over 81.1 innings in 2025. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Marlins on Sunday to close out a two-start week.
