Gordon (1-1) allowed two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five over six innings to earn the win over the Yankees on Friday.

Gordon kept a dangerous offense in check, though he was tagged for a couple of hard hits on scoring plays. Paul Goldschmidt supplied an RBI triple in the first inning and Aaron Judge launched a solo home run in the fifth to account for the two runs on Gordon's line. This was his first big-league win and just his second quality start in nine outings since he made his debut last season. Gordon has allowed six runs over 12.1 innings with a 9:3 K:BB in the majors this year. If he stays in the Rockies' rotation, he is tentatively lined up to face the Cubs on the road next week, but it's risky to expect a repeat performance of Friday's outing.

Mikolas (4-2) notched the win Friday against the Diamondbacks after allowing one run on four hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out four.

It was the third time this season that Mikolas hurled six innings, and he's given up one run or fewer in each of these instances. Additionally, the veteran right-hander has conceded greater than three runs on just one occasion in 2025, albeit during a nine-run implosion in his second start of the year that left a huge mark on his ratios. His lack of strikeout stuff will likely continue to limit his overall fantasy potential, but Mikolas still owns a quality 3.51 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 31:16 K:BB ahead of his next scheduled outing against the Orioles.

Gallen (3-6) took the loss Friday against the Cardinals after allowing four runs on three hits and four walks in 5.2 innings. He struck out four.

Despite giving up just three knocks, Gallen yielded at least four runs in his third straight start. The veteran right-hander also tied a season worst in walks, and it was a bases-clearing triple by Nolan Arenado that drove in a trio of runs in the sixth inning to end the hurler's night. Gallen continues to struggle in 2025, as he holds a 5.25 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 63:29 K:BB across 61.2 frames, but he'll have a prime opportunity to get back on track his next time out versus the Pirates, who are scoring a lowly 2.5 runs per game over their last 28 outings.

Sale took a no-decision in Friday's 2-1 loss to San Diego, allowing one run on four hits and one walk while striking out six across seven innings.

Sale generated 15 whiffs on 95 pitches (64 strikes), and his lone blemish came in the second inning, when he yielded a solo home run to Gavin Sheets. Sale has logged at least seven strikeouts in seven of his last eight starts, and his 78 punchouts across 61.2 innings this season are tied with Garrett Crochet for fifth most in the majors. Sale will take a 3.36 ERA and 1.28 WHIP into his next start, tentatively slated for next week on the road against the Phillies.

Pivetta allowed one run on four hits and three walks while striking out seven across six innings in a no-decision against Atlanta on Friday.

Pivetta immediately put the Padres in a hole after yielding a home run to the returning Ronald Acuna on the first pitch of the first inning. Pivetta was able to get out of the first despite allowing two more baserunners, and the veteran right-hander kept Atlanta off the board for the rest of his outing, finishing with nine whiffs on 102 pitches (61 strikes). It was his second straight quality start and sixth of the season, and his 2.72 ERA and 1.01 WHIP (over 56.1 innings) rank ninth and fifth, respectively, among qualified starters in the National League. Pivetta is slated to take on the Marlins at home next week.

Gore exited Friday's game in the seventh inning due to left leg tightness, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Gore stayed in the game after getting hit in the leg by a comebacker during the second inning, but it seemed to bother him a bit more by the seventh. The Nationals aren't too concerned about the left-hander's availability going forward, so it sounds like he should be in good shape to make his next start -- tentatively scheduled to come Thursday in Seattle.

Gore was removed from his start in the seventh inning Friday against the Giants with an apparent injury, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

Gore grimaced after throwing a pitch in the seventh inning of Friday's contest, causing him to leave the game early after throwing six innings of shutout ball. It's not immediately apparent what kind of injury the 26-year-old southpaw is dealing with, but the Nationals' training staff will take a closer look at him and report their findings in the near future.

Glasnow (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Friday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Friday marks the first time Glasnow has thrown off a mound since he landed on the injured list in late April. He didn't quite reach 20 pitches during his first session and will likely need a few more weeks to continue building up to a starter's workload. A clearer return timeline may emerge when he's cleared to face hitters.

Quintana (shoulder) is scheduled to make a rehab start with High-A Wisconsin on Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Quintana threw his second bullpen session of the week Thursday, and after apparently coming out of the workout no worse for the wear, he's been cleared to embark on what will likely be a brief rehab assignment. The veteran southpaw has been on the shelf since May 14 with a left shoulder impingement, but he had been pitching well prior to suffering the injury, going 4-1 with a 2.65 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 24:11 K:BB across 34 innings over his six starts with Milwaukee.

Feltner (back) will begin his rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Feltner was placed on the 15-day injured list May 2 after dealing with back spasms. He's expected to make a pair of rehab starts at Triple-A before rejoining the Rockies' rotation. Feltner registered a 4.75 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 25:12 K:BB across six starts spanning 30.1 innings before landing on the IL.
