Arrighetti allowed four runs on six hits, a walk and a hit batsman while striking out three over four innings in a no-decision Wednesday versus the Pirates.

Arrighetti ran into trouble in the fourth inning, serving up a grand slam to Henry Davis. This was the first bad outing of the season for Arrighetti -- he had gone at least five innings without allowing more than three runs in any of his first eight games. He's now at a 1.94 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 46:27 K:BB through 51 innings this season. A 4.8 BB/9 and 4.17 FIP suggest he's been fortunate so far, though the walk figure is a mark in line with his career norms. His next start is projected to be on the road versus the Angels.

Kolek took a no-decision Wednesday against the Reds, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks in seven innings. He struck out eight.

Kolek fanned a season-high eight Wednesday in what was already his fourth quality start over six outings for the year. The 29-year-old right-hander has been outstanding since coming over from the Padres at last year's trade deadline, posting a 2.66 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 48:13 K:BB over 71 career innings for the Royals dating back to last season. Kolek, who next lines up to take the ball at home versus the Rangers, is making a strong case to remain in Kansas City's rotation even once Cole Ragans (elbow) is healthy.

Corbin (2-2) picked up the loss Wednesday, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks over five innings during a 7-3 loss against Atlanta. He struck out one.

Corbin gave up his most runs since his first start with the Blue Jays, including what proved to be the game-deciding three-run homer to Mauricio Dubon in the third shortly after Toronto took the lead. This was Corbin's 12th straight loss to Atlanta and ended his streak of nine consecutive outings allowing three runs or fewer. Overall, the lefty has been a reliable option on the mound this season for the Blue Jays with a 3.98 ERA and a 37:16 K:BB over 54.1 innings. Corbin is projected to pitch at home next week against the Phillies.

Burns took a no-decision Wednesday against the Royals, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out nine.

Burns boasted his usual electrifying stuff Wednesday, generating an impressive 19 whiffs on the evening. That's now four consecutive starts with at least seven punchouts for the hard-throwing right-hander, who has also worked at least five innings while yielding two runs or fewer in all but one of his 12 starts thus far. Burns will bring an outstanding 2.05 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 81:21 K:BB across 70.1 frames into his next scheduled outing in San Diego.

Holmes (4-2) collected the win against the Blue Jays on Wednesday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks with four strikeouts over six innings.

Holmes earned his fifth quality start of the year after not making it past five innings in his last two starts. The 30-year-old has given up three earned runs or less in his last five starts, though he has topped 90 pitches only once this season. The lefty is slated to start against the White Sox in Chicago next week.

Tolle (3-2) earned the win Wednesday against the Orioles, allowing no runs on seven hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out five.

Tolle danced around plenty of pressure Wednesday, throwing just one clean inning on the evening, but he still managed to deliver his second scoreless start of the campaign. The 23-year-old left-hander is showing great improvement at keeping the ball in the yard this year, serving up just three home runs over 47.1 innings after giving up five across just 16.1 frames last regular season. Tolle will carry an impressive 2.28 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 51:13 K:BB into his next scheduled outing in Tampa Bay against the Rays.

Webb (3-4) earned the win Wednesday against the Brewers, giving up no runs on one hit and one walk with four strikeouts across seven innings.

Webb carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning before Brice Turang lined an opposite-field single. The right-hander's groundball rate of 58.2 percent (12 groundouts) was in full effect as the Brewers mostly managed weak contact. This was Webb's first scoreless outing of the year as he is coming off a subpar start to the season. Webb had a 4.82 ERA entering Wednesday even though his underlying stuff (34.2 percent chase rate) has been good. The 29-year-old is slated to make his next start at home against the Nationals.

Gasser (0-2) picked up the loss Wednesday, allowing one run on five hits and a walk over five innings during a 1-0 loss against the Giants. He struck out five.

Gasser was called up Wednesday just a couple of hours before his start and delivered his best start of the season. In his third start this year, Gasser limited his walks after giving up six in his first two outings, and the only run he surrendered was a solo home run to Victor Bericoto. Despite the strong showing, the 27-year-old Gasser could still be sent down if the Brewers believe Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) is ready to pitch again next week.

Bassitt was removed from Wednesday's game against Boston due to lower-back tightness, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Bassitt made it through just three innings Wednesday, allowing three earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out one batter before his back forced him out of the game. The team hasn't provided any information regarding the severity of the right-hander's injury, so it's unclear whether he'll be ready for his next start -- tentatively scheduled for Monday against Seattle.

Williams (9-3) earned the win Wednesday against the Yankees, allowing three runs on four hits and one walk in 5.1 innings. He struck out six.

Although Williams gave up just four knocks Wednesday, three went for extra bases and two left the yard. The 26-year-old right-hander has provided consistent length for the Guardians in 2026, pitching at least five innings in all 13 starts thus far, and he's fanned at least six in 10 outings. Williams will take a steady 3.20 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 94:25 K:BB over 81.2 innings into his next start, which is set to be a rematch at home against the Yankees.
