Roupp (0-1) took the loss Tuesday as the Giants were downed 1-0 by the Reds, allowing one run on seven hits over six innings. He struck out four without walking a batter.

it was the first career quality start for the 26-year-old right-hander, who tossed 51 of 80 pitches for strikes before begin lifted from his pitchers' duel with Nick Lodolo. Roupp sports a 3.60 ERA and 12:4 K:BB through 10 innings over his first two outings of the season, but he lines up for a tough test his next time out, on the road early next week in Philadelphia.

Lodolo (2-1) picked up the win Tuesday, scattering three hits and a walk over six scoreless innings in a 1-0 victory over the Giants. He struck out three.

The southpaw delivered his third straight quality start to begin the season, and Lodolo has gone 15.2 straight innings without allowing an earned run. He's not posting his usual strikeout numbers, however, sporting an 8:1 K:BB through 18.2 frames to go along with his 0.96 ERA and 0.70 WHIP. Lodolo will look to keep rolling in his next outing, which lines up to come at home early next week against the Mariners.

Myers (oblique) yielded two hits and two walks over 3.1 scoreless innings in his first rehab start with Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

Myers struck out a pair of batters and got his pitch count up to 45 in his first game appearance since he suffered a left oblique strain in mid-March. The right-hander is scheduled to make two more rehab starts before rejoining the Brewers' rotation.

Kelly (2-1) picked up the win in Tuesday's 4-3 victory over the Orioles, allowing three runs (two earned) on three hits and two walks over six-plus innings. He struck out four.

The veteran right-hander was tagged for a pair of runs in the first inning, an ominous sign after Kelly got ambushed by the Yankees his last time out, but he steadied the ship after that and produced his first quality start of the season on 89 pitches (61 strikes). Kelly's 7.20 ERA still shows the scars of that trip to the Bronx, and his 7:9 K:BB in 15 innings hasn't been fantasy-friendly, but he may be trending in the right direction. He's scheduled to make his next start on the road early next week in Miami.

Skenes (1-1) took the loss Tuesday against the Cardinals, allowing five runs on six hits and a walk while striking out seven in six innings.

Skenes had an uncharacteristically rough outing, as the five runs allowed were the most he's given up in any start in his career. The Cardinals tacked on three runs in the third and two more in the sixth before Skenes' day came to a close. Oddly enough, three of the four losses so far in his young MLB career have come against the Cardinals. Skenes has a 3.44 ERA and 0.82 WHIP on the season and will look to rebound against the Nationals to begin next week.

Gray (2-0) got the win Tuesday against the Pirates, allowing one run on three hits while striking out four over five innings. He did not issue a walk.

Gray had three strikeouts over his first two frames and cruised along from there, mostly pitching to weak contact the rest of the way. His lone blemish was allowing a solo home run to Bryan Reynolds in the fourth, and Gray's day ended rather abruptly after 71 pitches. He's now allowed a home run in all three of his starts but also boasts an impressive 19:2 K:BB in 16 innings thus far. Gray will look to pick up his third win early next week at home versus the Astros.

Chandler threw four scoreless innings, allowing one hit and walking two while striking out eight in Tuesday's start with Triple-A Indianapolis.

Chandler stumbled a bit in his first start with Indianapolis when he worked only 2.2 innings Thursday. However, he rebounded Tuesday while ramping up to 61 pitches. There's no timeline for Chandler to make his way to Pittsburgh, but he should contribute relatively early on in the campaign.

Wheeler didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's loss to Atlanta. He gave up five runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out seven across 5.1 innings.

Wheeler fell behind when he gave up a three-run homer to Sean Murphy in the second inning. Wheeler was able to settle in and fanned five batters over the next three scoreless frames before being tagged for two more runs in the sixth inning. He allowed five hits over his first two starts, but he gave up eight hits Tuesday and was unable to escape the sixth inning despite tossing 104 pitches (71 strikes). Wheeler has started the season with a 3.44 ERA and 0.98 WHIP and leads the National League with 25 strikeouts. He's slated to face the Cardinals on the road in the series finale Sunday, when he'll look to register his second win of 2025.

Wrobleski (0-1) yielded eight runs on eight hits and three walks over five innings Tuesday, striking out four and taking a loss against Washington.

Wrobelski struggled out of the gate, coughing up a two-run homer to James Wood in the first inning. The Nationals plated three runs in the second and three more in the fourth, capped off by another Wood home run. Wrobelski posted a 5.70 ERA over 36.1 MLB innings in 2024. It's unclear if he'll stick with the big club or head back to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Sale (0-1) didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Phillies. He allowed five runs on nine hits while striking out five across 4.2 innings.

Sale gave up three runs in the third inning, and the veteran southpaw allowed a fifth run in the fifth frame on a 462-foot solo homer to center field from Kyle Schwarber. Sale managed to generate 60 strikes on 86 pitches (including 15 whiffs) and has logged 17 strikeouts over his first three starts, but he's also registered a 6.75 ERA and 1.36 WHIP across 14.2 innings. He's tentatively slated to face the Rays on the road this weekend, when he'll look to earn his first win of the 2025 campaign.
