Springs (10-11) allowed five runs on eight hits and struck out six without walking a batter over five innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Red Sox.

Springs gave up two home runs and four total runs in the first inning, and the Athletics weren't able to battle back from that. This is the first time the left-hander has allowed multiple home runs in a start since July 13 versus the Blue Jays, and it was Springs' third consecutive loss. The 32-year-old is now at a 4.28 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 132:49 K:BB through 162 innings over 30 appearances (28 starts) this season. Springs is tentatively projected for a road rematch in Boston next week.

Early (1-0) allowed five hits and one walk while striking out 11 over five shutout innings to earn the win Tuesday in the Red Sox's 6-0 victory over the Athletics.

Summoned from Triple-A Worcester earlier Tuesday, Early stepped into the Boston rotation and spotted 61 of 90 pitches for strikes in his MLB debut. He got plenty of run support en route to scooping up the win, with the Red Sox scoring five of their six runs over the first two innings. Early posted a strong 132:40 K:BB across 100.1 innings between Double-A Portland and Triple-A prior to his promotion, so his ability to rack up 19 swinging strikes in his first outing in the majors perhaps isn't too surprising. Heading into Tuesday, Early wasn't expected to be guaranteed any further turns through the rotation, but he likely pitched well enough against the Athletics to earn himself at least one more start.

Gallen (11-14) allowed five runs on five hits and three walks while striking out three over 6.2 innings to take the loss versus the Giants on Tuesday.

Gallen had shaky command in the first inning and served up a three-run home run to Willy Adames. He mostly settled in after that but didn't get enough run support to overcome the early misstep. This was his longest start since he tossed seven innings against the Giants on July 1. Gallen is now at a 4.84 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 157:60 K:BB through 174.2 innings over 30 starts. He's now up to 28 homers allowed this year, though he's gotten that issue largely under control with just five of those long balls coming over his last nine outings. Gallen is projected to make his next start in a rematch at home versus the Giants early next week.

Ray (11-6) allowed two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out five over five innings to earn the win over the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

Ray allowed fewer than three runs for the first time in his last six starts, and he got back to the five-inning mark for the first time since Aug. 24 versus the Brewers. The southpaw gave up both runs in the fifth frame, but the Giants were able to keep their lead the rest of the way. The recent shaky stretch has done a bit of damage to Ray's overall numbers, which are now at a 3.32 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 176:67 K:BB through 173.2 innings across 30 starts. He's projected to make his next start early next week in a rematch with the Diamondbacks in Arizona.

Kirby took a no-decision Tuesday against the Cardinals, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks in four innings. He struck out two.

After being tagged for seven runs his last time out, Kirby was unable to steady the ship Tuesday. The right-hander has failed to fire at least five frames in three of his past five outings, although he does have seven quality starts under his belt since the All-Star break. Kirby has a 4.56 ERA and 1.27 WHIP, which are on pace to be career-worst figures, to go with a more encouraging 106:28 K:BB over 108.2 innings, and he'll be trying to get back on track this weekend against the division-rival Angels.

Liberatore (7-12) took the loss Tuesday against the Mariners, allowing five runs on six hits and three walks in four innings. He struck out one.

It was the fourth time this season that Liberatore fanned one or zero, and he also hurled a season-low 65 pitches. It's possible the Cardinals are monitoring the southpaw's workload during the second half -- Liberatore has worked fewer than five frames in six of his nine starts since the All-Star break. He has a 4.35 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 110:38 K:BB over a career-high 140.2 innings. Liberatore is next set to take the ball against the Reds next week.

Hendricks (7-9) earned the win Tuesday against the Twins, allowing four hits and one walk in seven shutout innings. He struck out six.

It was one of Hendricks' finest efforts in an Angels uniform so far, as he turned in his third scoreless outing of the season and tied his second-highest strikeout total of the campaign in his second-longest outing of 2025. The veteran right-hander has now submitted three consecutive quality starts as well. Hendricks owns a 4.58 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 95:41 K:BB across 149.1 innings, and he's projected to take the mound against the division-rival Mariners this weekend.

Quantrill signed a minor-league contract with the Rangers on Tuesday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Quantrill was cut loose by Atlanta after giving up 12 earned runs in just eight innings during his two starts with the team, and he'll now find work in the Rangers' farm system for the final portion of the regular season. The 30-year-old righty could make a spot start for the Rangers over the next few weeks, but he won't be able to pitch if Texas secures a spot in the postseason.

Matthews (4-5) took the loss Tuesday against the Angels, allowing five runs on seven hits and two walks in 4.2 innings. He struck out five.

The five runs allowed were Matthews' most since July 30 versus Boston. The 25-year-old right-hander has now failed to throw at least five frames in seven of his 14 outings this season, and he's also walked multiple batters in four of his last five appearances. Matthews will carry a 5.06 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 80:22 K:BB over 69.1 innings into his next start, which lines up for next week in a tough spot against the Yankees.

King took a no-decision Tuesday against the Reds, allowing two runs on three hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out two.

King was limited to 63 pitches in his return from the injured list, though that didn't prevent him from tossing five frames. The right-hander served up multiple home runs for the first time all season, but the three hits allowed tied his second-fewest total of the year. King will be aiming to up his pitch count when he brings a strong 2.87 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 67:20 K:BB across 62.2 frames into his next outing, which is set to be a favorable home matchup against the last-place Rockies this weekend.
