Bibee didn't factor in the decision Tuesday against the Twins despite giving up one run on five hits and no walks across seven innings. He struck out five.

The right-hander had little trouble dispatching Minnesota outside the fifth inning, which is when Ty France knotted the game 1-1 with a solo homer. Bibee threw 64 of 92 pitches for strikes, and the improved command was a welcome sight with it being the first time through six starts this year that he didn't walk a batter. The long ball continues to be a concern as he's already given up nine homers, but Bibee is trending up with just three runs allowed in his past two starts.

Blubaugh will start Wednesday's game against the Tigers, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Blubaugh was added to Houston's taxi squad Tuesday while the team debated on relying on its bullpen or a spot starter Wednesday to give Hayden Wesneski a couple of extra days to rest. The Astros opted for the latter, creating an opportunity for the 24-year-old righty to make his MLB debut. Blubaugh has turned in a 3.86 ERA and 1.38 WHIP across 21 innings at Triple-A Sugar Land this season, and he'll be welcomed to the majors by the American League's fourth-highest scoring offense.

Marquez (0-5) took the loss Tuesday against Atlanta after allowing seven runs on 11 hits and one walk in 5.1 innings. He struck out one.

It's been a miserable stretch for Marquez, who has given up a whopping 25 runs over his last four starts. He got just five whiffs over his 86 pitches Tuesday, and his 11 hits allowed established a season worst. The veteran right-hander's expiring contract makes him a logical trade candidate later this summer, and he's struggled mightily in his 10th season in Colorado. Marquez will take a 9.82 ERA, 2.06 WHIP and 15:12 K:BB over 25.2 innings into a tough matchup against the Giants, currently projected for this weekend in San Francisco.

Olson (3-2) took the loss Tuesday against the Astros after allowing three runs on four hits and three walks in 5.1 innings. He struck out seven.

En route to matching a season high with seven punchouts, Olson induced an outstanding 18 whiffs Tuesday. However, he tied a season worst in walks, and the hurler's three runs allowed were his most since he gave up four in the April 11 game against the Twins. Through his first 33 innings of the campaign, Olson owns a solid 3.55 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 32:14 K:BB. The right-hander has also yielded just one home run in six starts in 2025, but his ability to keep the ball in the yard will be tested in his next scheduled start against the Angels, who entered Tuesday ranked fifth in MLB in homers (39) as a team.

DeGrom (1-1) earned the win Tuesday against the Athletics after allowing four hits and no walks in six scoreless innings. He struck out seven.

The two-time Cy Young Award winner found himself in vintage form Tuesday, producing 16 whiffs while delivering his first scoreless outing since his first start of the season. While he did toss a season-low 65 pitches, the oft-injured deGrom's reduced workload was likely a byproduct of the Rangers taking a commanding 12-0 lead in the sixth inning. After a shaky first three starts of the year, during which he conceded four homers, the right-hander has a sparkling 1.47 ERA and 20:1 K:BB over his last three appearances (18.1 innings). DeGrom's next start is set to come this weekend at home against the hard-hitting Mariners, who entered Tuesday ranked third in MLB in home runs (42).

Heaney (2-2) allowed four runs on five hits and three walks over 4.2 innings while taking a loss against the Cubs on Tuesday. He did not record a strikeout.

Heaney worked through three scoreless frames before things turned south. Carson Kelly knocked a two-run shot in the fourth inning, and Pete Crow-Armstrong hit a two-run homer in the fifth. Heaney had given up just one home run through 31.1 innings entering Tuesday's outing. His shortest start of the season bumped his ERA up to 2.50 with a 31:9 K:BB through 36 innings. Heaney is lined up to face the Padres at home this weekend.

Gibson (0-1) took the loss against the Yankees on Tuesday, allowing nine runs on 11 hits and two walks while striking out two over 3.2 innings.

Gibson spent the first six weeks of the season getting stretched out in extended spring training and the minors after signing a one-year deal with the Orioles on March 21. His first outing of the year couldn't have gotten off to a worse start, as the 37-year-old gave up three-straight home runs in the first inning before yielding a fourth to Cody Bellinger in the same frame. Gibson was mercifully pulled in the fourth inning after giving up a two-run double, tossing 73 pitches (44 strikes) with seven whiffs in his 2025 debut. He'll look to rebound in his next start, tentatively slated for next week on the road against the Twins.

Rodon (4-3) earned the win against the Orioles on Tuesday, allowing two runs on two hits and one walk while striking out seven over six innings.

While a returning Kyle Gibson struggled in his 2025 debut, Rodon pitched a perfect five innings before issuing a walk and a run in the sixth. Rodon yielded another run in the seventh inning on a Gunnar Henderson solo shot, which prompted the former's removal from Tuesday's game. Rodon has logged three quality starts in a row and sports a 3.43 ERA and 0.98 WHIP over 42 innings, and his 52 punchouts rank third in the majors behind MacKenzie Gore (59) and Zack Wheeler (57). Rodon's next start is slated for next week at home against the Padres.

Gore did not factor into the decision during Tuesday's loss to Philadelphia. He allowed three runs on five hits over six innings while striking out six.

Gore got off to a poor start Tuesday, serving up home runs to Kyle Schwarber and Johan Rojas in the first and fifth innings, respectively. Gore kept the Phillies quiet for the rest of his outing to produce his fifth quality start of the year and third straight. In two matchups against Philadelphia this season, he's given up three runs while registering a stellar 19:0 K:BB through 12 frames. Gore generated 21 whiffs Tuesday, including six each with his fastball and curveball. He owns a 3.51 ERA with a 59:9 K:BB across 41 innings this season. Gore is currently expected to face the Guardians at home next week.

Wheeler did not factor in the decision during Tuesday's win against Washington. He allowed two runs on five hits and a walk over 6.2 innings while striking out seven.

Wheeler worked through five shutout frames before coughing up a solo shot to Luis Garcia. The Nationals put another run on Wheeler's line after he was removed in the seventh inning. He's delivered five quality starts in seven outings this season, including three straight. Wheeler has struck out at least seven batters in six of those starts. He dropped his ERA to 3.48 with a 57:9 K:BB through 44 frames. Wheeler is currently lined up to start in Tampa Bay next week.
