Clay Holmes RP | NYM
Mets' Clay Holmes: Tough loss in Boston
Holmes (5-3) took the loss Tuesday, giving up two runs on four hits and three walks over six innings as the Mets fell 2-0 to the Red Sox. He struck out five.
For the second straight outing, Holmes served up multiple homers -- this time solo shots to Carlos Narvaez and Rafael Devers in the fifth inning -- and that was all the offense Boston needed. The right-hander still delivered his fourth quality start in his last six trips to the mound, a stretch in which he's posted a 2.83 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 25:9 K:BB over 35 innings. Holmes will try to get back in the win column in his next start, which is scheduled to come at home early next week against the White Sox.

Jose Quintana SP | COL
Brewers' Jose Quintana: Gets back on mound
Quintana (shoulder) was scheduled to throw a bullpen session Tuesday and will do so again Friday before the Brewers determine his next steps, MLB.com reports.
Quintana landed on the 15-day injured list May 14 due to a left shoulder impingement, and at the time, the Brewers were hopeful that he would be able to return when first eligible May 26. The veteran southpaw is no longer on track to be activated that day, but a return later on next week hasn't been ruled out. Quintana was recently sent in for a second opinion on his injury, but after the original diagnosis was confirmed, he received the green light to get back on the mound this week. Assuming Quintana's side session Tuesday went well, he'll throw what will presumably be a more intense bullpen session Friday. After that, the Brewers will assess whether he's ready to rejoin the big-league rotation, or if he'll need to complete a simulated game or go out on a minor-league rehab assignment beforehand.

Jesus Luzardo SP | PHI
Phillies' Jesus Luzardo: Strikes out 10 in win
Luzardo (5-0) got the win over the Rockies on Tuesday, allowing one run on two hits and three walks while striking out 10 in six innings.
Luzardo continues to dominate in a Phillies uniform, as he posted his sixth straight start of at least five innings while allowing two runs or fewer. Two hits allowed tied his fewest in a start this season and it was the first time he's recorded double-digit punchouts since he struck out 11 in his season debut. Luzardo's 1.95 ERA is currently eighth lowest in baseball and he is one of 16 starting pitchers with a K/9 over 10. Luzardo lines up to complete a two-start week against the Athletics this weekend.

Tink Hence RP | STL
Cardinals' Tink Hence: Cleared for rehab assignment
Hence (ribs) will begin a rehab assignment with Single-A Palm Beach on Wednesday.
Hence has been sidelined all season with a right rib cage strain but has finally been cleared to test things out in game action. The top prospect will eventually move up to Triple-A Memphis but will be brought along slowly, given his injury history.

Ryan Weathers SP | NYY
Marlins' Ryan Weathers: Stymies Cubs in no-decision
Weathers came away with a no-decision in Tuesday's 14-1 loss to the Cubs, allowing one run on five hits over five innings. He struck out four without walking a batter.
The lefty served up a solo shot to Kyle Tucker in the first inning but otherwise held Chicago's bats in check for a second straight start, only to see the Marlins' bullpen melt down as soon as he left the mound. Weathers has given up two runs in 10 innings with a 9:1 K:BB since coming off the injured list last week, and he'll look to stay sharp in a potential revenge game early next week when Miami travels to San Diego -- the team that drafted Weathers in the first round in 2018.

Antonio Senzatela RP | COL
Rockies' Antonio Senzatela: Goes six innings in loss
Senzatela (1-8) took the loss Tuesday against the Phillies, allowing four runs on 10 hits and a walk while striking out three in six innings.
Senzatela was hit around for three runs in the first inning but continued on to throw five more innings of one-run ball. Despite tying a season-high mark with 10 hits allowed, Senzatela managed to reach six innings for just the second time in 2025 and did not allow a home run for the third time in his last four home starts. He's given up at least four runs in five consecutive starts and his 6.34 ERA is the worst in baseball among qualified pitchers. Senzatela will have his hands full again when the Yankees come to town this weekend.

Jameson Taillon SP | CHC
Cubs' Jameson Taillon: Cruises to third win
Taillon (3-3) picked up the win in Tuesday's 14-1 rout of the Marlins, allowing one run on four hits and three walks over seven innings. He struck out two.
A solo shot by Nick Fortes in the third inning was the only blemish on Taillon's line, as he delivered his second straight quality start against Miami and his sixth of the season in 10 trips to the mound. Keeping the ball in the yard remains a serious concern for the right-hander, however -- he's served up nine homers in his last four starts, fueling a 4.30 ERA over that stretch despite a 1.09 WHIP and 18:5 K:BB in 23 innings. Taillon gets a soft matchup for his next outing, which lines up to come at home early next week against the Rockies.

Bailey Falter RP | KC
Pirates' Bailey Falter: Blanks Cincy for third win
Falter (3-3) picked up the win in Tuesday's 1-0 victory over the Reds, scattering four hits over seven scoreless innings. He struck out five without walking a batter.
It was a dazzling performance from the southpaw, who tossed 55 of 79 pitches for strikes before handing the ball off to the Bucs' bullpen to complete the shutout. Falter has allowed just one run in four May starts and none in his last three trips to the mound, giving him a 0.38 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 17:9 K:BB through 23.2 innings on the month. He'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, which is scheduled to come at home this weekend against the Brewers.

Nick Martinez SP | TB
Reds' Nick Martinez: Fifth straight quality start
Martinez (2-5) took the loss Tuesday, allowing one run on four hits and two walks over six innings as the Reds fell 1-0 to the Pirates. He struck out three.
The veteran right-hander delivered his fifth straight quality start on 91 pitches (51 strikes), but Cincinnati hitters couldn't solve Bailey Falter and the Pittsburgh bullpen. Martinez has a 1.74 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 20:4 K:BB through 31 innings over his quality start streak, but just a 2-2 record to show for it as the Reds have scored a total of 11 runs in those games. He'll hope for more offensive support in his next outing, which lines up to come on the road early next week in Kansas City.

Erick Fedde SP | CHW
Cardinals' Erick Fedde: Surrenders two homers
Fedde allowed four runs on five hits and no walks while striking out two in five innings versus the Tigers on Tuesday. He did not factor into the decision.
Fedde began by allowing a leadoff home run to Kerry Carpenter and the Tigers tacked on another run before the inning concluded. The deficit doubled in the third after Riley Greene hit a two-run blast two right, but Fedde was able to retire the final seven batters he faced after that. Fedde had allowed only three home runs all season heading into Tuesday, and he has now posted a 2.43 ERA on the road this season compared to a 5.20 ERA at home. The right-hander lines up for a potential bounce-back road start against the Orioles next week.
