Skubal (5-2) pitched a complete-game shutout Sunday against the Guardians, striking out 13 and allowing two hits and no walks across nine innings.

The left-hander pounded the zone with 72 of his 94 pitches going for strikes, and he induced 26 whiffs while carrying a perfect game into the sixth inning. Skubal showed no signs of slowing down either, as he hit 102.6 mph on his final pitch of the game to punch out Gabriel Arias. It's the first complete-game shutout of his career and is his fourth scoreless outing of 2025. He now has a 2.49 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 92:7 K:BB across 68.2 innings this season as he continues to build his case as arguably the top pitcher in MLB.

Springs allowed four runs (three earned) on four hits and two walks while striking out six over six innings in a no-decision Saturday versus the Phillies.

Springs turned in a baseline quality start, thanks to the Phillies' first run being unearned. He also gave up solo shots to Alec Bohm and Kyle Schwarber later in the contest. Springs has given up eight runs (seven earned) over 30.2 innings in May, though his 20:7 K:BB is a bit underwhelming. He's now at a 3.97 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 47:23 K:BB through 59 innings over 11 starts. Springs' next outing is projected to be on the road versus the Blue Jays.

Sanchez allowed three runs (two earned) on seven hits and three walks while striking out six over 4.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Athletics on Saturday.

Sanchez's streak of three straight quality starts came to an end. He was pulled from this one at 83 pitches (49 strikes) after an ineffective performance. Despite the shaky outing, Sanchez has given up more than three runs just once all year. He's pitched to a 3.17 ERA despite a 1.26 WHIP and 65:20 K:BB over 54 innings that would suggest he's been fortunate to strand some traffic on the basepaths. Sanchez's next outing is tentatively projected to be at home versus Atlanta, though he could be pushed back to a home start versus Milwaukee if Taijuan Walker gets another turn through the rotation.

Soriano (3-5) allowed three runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out one over 4.2 innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Marlins.

Soriano threw 97 pitches (52 strikes) in the outing, which saw him fail to complete five innings for the first time since April 22 versus the Pirates. The right-hander has walked at least three batters in four straight starts, though he hasn't given up more than three runs in any of those outings. He's now at a 3.73 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 47:30 K:BB across 62.2 innings over 11 starts this season. Soriano's walk rate (4.3 BB/9) is too high to sustain success in the long run. He is projected to make his next start at Cleveland.

Quantrill allowed a run on three hits and struck out two without walking a batter over 3.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Angels on Saturday.

Quantrill threw just 46 pitches (31 strikes) before running into trouble in the fourth inning and getting the quick hook. There was no reported injury after the game, so this currently appears to be just a curious managerial decision. Quantrill has allowed just one run in three of his last four starts, but he hasn't logged more than five innings in any of those outings. He's now at a 6.09 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 31:15 K:BB across 44.1 innings over 10 starts this season. His next start is projected to be at home versus the Giants.

Gonsolin (2-1) took the loss against the Mets on Saturday, allowing four runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out four batters over five innings.

Gonsolin allowed a constant stream of baserunners in the outing and didn't retire the side in order until his fifth and final frame. The right-hander wasn't hit all that hard, however -- only one of the knocks (a Juan Soto two-run double) against him went for extra bases. Gonsolin looked very good in beginning the campaign by allowing just five runs with a 21:4 K:BB over 16 innings across his first three starts, but he's scuffled since, yielding eight runs with a 7:8 K:BB across nine frames in his past two appearances. He'll look to get back on track in what's projected to be a tough home matchup against the Yankees next weekend.

Peterson (3-2) earned the victory over the Dodgers on Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out seven batters over 7.2 innings.

Peterson fell behind 2-0 in the second inning but didn't give up another run for the remainder of his outing. The southpaw completed a season-high 7.2 frames (in fact, this was the first time all year he's pitched more than six innings) and recorded his fourth straight quality start. Peterson's past two outings have been particularly impressive given the quality of opponent -- he's yielded just three earned runs over 13.2 frames versus the Yankees and Dodgers. The veteran hurler has been a key part of the Mets' rotation this year, posting a 2.79 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 54:22 K:BB through 58 innings. Peterson's next start is projected to be much less intimidating on paper than his past two, as he's lined up to face the Rockies at home next weekend.

Giolito finished with a no-decision in Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against Baltimore, allowing six hits and two walks while striking out six batters over seven scoreless innings.

All six of the hits Giolito served up were singles, and the right-hander didn't let any runner reach third base. The veteran hurler completed seven frames for the first time this season and picked up his third quality start through five appearances. Giolito has alternated good and bad outings so far -- the quality starts have come in his first, third, and fifth appearances while he allowed a combined 12 runs over 7.2 frames in his second and fourth starts. He'll look to snap that trend the next time he takes the mound, which is lined up to be a road matchup in Atlanta.

The Orioles returned Rogers to Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports. He pitched 6.1 scoreless innings in a no-decision against Boston in the Orioles' 2-1 win in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader, allowing two hits and recording five strikeouts without issuing any walks.

Rogers posted an ugly 8.10 ERA across four starts with Triple-A Norfolk prior to being called up Saturday, but none of those struggles showed up in his MLB season debut. The southpaw allowed just two hits -- both singles -- and threw 56 of 87 pitches for strikes while recording a first-pitch strike to 18 of the 22 batters he faced. The effort wasn't rewarded with a victory -- neither team scored until the eighth frame -- but it may result in Rogers getting more opportunities in the rotation in the near future. Rogers' move back to Triple-A following Saturday's outing was a result of him being summoned as the 27th man for the twin bill, and Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun suggests that the hurler has a good chance of being called up again next week to potentially make another start.

Dobbins allowed four runs on five hits and one walk while striking out seven batters over four-plus innings in a no-decision against Baltimore in the first game of a doubleheader Saturday.

Dobbins yielded two runs in the first inning but got through the next three frames unscathed. The right-hander was pulled after allowing the first two batters he faced in the fifth to get a hit, and both runners came around to score after his departure. Dobbins didn't have a great final line, but he did notch an impressive 14 whiffs on just 72 pitches (51 strikes) while posting a career-best seven punchouts. While his ERA sits at a mediocre 4.21 on the campaign, Dobbins has shown flashes of excellence and holds a strong 32:6 K:BB through 36.1 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to face Atlanta on the road in his next start.
