Ryan Feltner SP | COL
Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Blasted for five runs
Feltner (0-2) took the loss against Atlanta on Monday, allowing five runs on 10 hits and one walk while striking out four batters over 4.2 innings.
Feltner was handed a three-run lead after half an inning, but he couldn't hold onto it. The righty did manage to make it through two scoreless frames, but Atlanta struck for two runs in the third inning and another in the fourth before Michael Harris chased Feltner with a two-out, two-run double in the fifth. All told, Feltner gave up a season-high 10 hits, and this was the second time in his past three appearances that he's yielded five runs. Feltner did have a bit of bad luck Monday -- five of Atlanta's 10 hits left the bat at less than 75 mph -- and he was at least able to grind through 95 pitches after having his start pushed back from Sunday due to back tightness.

Bryce Elder SP | ATL
Braves' Bryce Elder: Secures first victory
Elder (1-1) earned the win over Colorado on Monday, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out four batters over six innings.
Elder got off to a rocky start when he fell behind on a three-run homer by Hunter Goodman in the first inning, but the righty hurler bounced back and didn't allow another run for the remainder of what ended up being a quality start. He wasn't overpowering in the outing, notching just seven whiffs and four punchouts, but Elder's performance was good enough to net him his first victory of 2025. His ERA still stands at a poor 5.33, but Elder has been better of late, giving up a combined four runs across 12 frames over his post two starts.

Jack Flaherty SP | DET
Tigers' Jack Flaherty: Falls to 1-3
Flaherty (1-3) took the loss against Houston on Monday, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four batters over five innings.
Flaherty was given an early 3-0 lead, but he coughed up two runs on a Christian Walker homer in the bottom of the fourth inning. Another Astros two-run blast -- this time by Jose Altuve -- in the sixth frame gave Houston its first lead and set Flaherty up for his third straight defeat. The veteran righty hasn't pitched all that poorly during the three-loss streak, and Monday's outing marked the first time this season he's surrendered more than three runs in a game, but his ERA has increased from 1.62 to 3.34 during that stretch. Flaherty will look to get back in the win column his next time out, which lines up to come on the road against the Angels this weekend.

Ronel Blanco SP | HOU
Astros' Ronel Blanco: Fans six in five frames
Blanco allowed three runs on three hits and two walks while striking out six batters over five innings in a no-decision against Detroit on Monday.
All three runs Blanco allowed came via the long ball, as Kerry Carpenter hit a two-run shot against him in the third inning and Riley Greene added a solo homer in the fourth. Otherwise, Blanco was pretty solid, as he surrendered just one other hit and induced a healthy 19 swinging strikes. The right-hander has completed at least five frames and given up three or fewer runs in five of his six appearances this season, and his lone ugly outing was a four-run, 1.2-inning start against Minnesota on April 6.

Patrick Corbin SP | TOR
Rangers' Patrick Corbin: Handed first loss
Corbin (2-1) yielded two runs on seven hits and a walk over 4.2 innings Monday, striking out five and taking a loss against the Athletics.
Corbin worked through four scoreless frames before running into trouble in the fifth inning. He gave up two extra-base hits in the inning and was removed from the game after Tyler Soderstrom's two-run double. Corbin generated a season-high 12 whiffs, including six with his slider. He has not given up more than three runs in any start this season but has not completed six innings in any of those outings. Corbin will carry a 3.79 ERA into his next start, which is expected to be at home this weekend against the Mariners.

JP Sears SP | SD
Athletics' JP Sears: Fans seven in win
Sears (3-2) allowed one run on five hits over 5.2 innings Monday, striking out seven and earning a win over Texas on Monday.
Sears fired five shutout frames before he was knocked out of the game by Jonah Heim's RBI single in the sixth inning. Sears has not given up more than three runs in any outing this season and missed his fourth quality start by one out Monday. He matched his season best with seven punchouts despite generating only six whiffs. Sears dropped his ERA to 2.94 with a 30:6 K:BB through 33.2 frames. He's in line to take the mound in Miami this weekend.

Nick Martinez SP | TB
Reds' Nick Martinez: Picks up first win
Martinez (1-3) yielded one run on five hits and two walks over six innings Monday, striking out three and earning a win over the Cardinals.
Martinez coughed up an RBI double to Nolan Arenado in the first inning but settled in for his first quality start and win of the 2025 campaign. Martinez was fairly efficient, throwing 76 pitches (45 strikes) and generating three double plays. He dropped his ERA to 4.68 alongside a 26:11 K:BB through 32.2 frames. Martinez is lined up for a home start against Washington this weekend.

Andre Pallante SP | STL
Cardinals' Andre Pallante: Takes loss in quality start
Pallante (2-2) allowed three runs on six hits and two walks over six innings Monday, striking out four and taking a loss against the Reds.
Cincinnati chipped away at Pallante throughout his start by plating runs in the third, fourth and sixth innings. It was Pallante's first quality start since April 11. However, he's given up three or more runs in three straight starts after allowing just four total runs through his first three outings. His ERA sits at 4.13 with a 20:12 K:BB through 32.2 frames. Pallante is lined up for a home matchup against the Mets this weekend.

Will Warren SP | NYY
Yankees' Will Warren: Chased early in loss
Warren (1-1) yielded four runs on six hits and two walks over 3.1 innings Monday, striking out five and taking a loss against Baltimore.
Warren gave up a run in the second inning but most of the damage came from Ryan O'Hearn's three-run shot in the third. Warren has not thrown more than five innings in any outing this season and has failed to complete four frames in two of his last three starts. He now owns a 5.63 ERA with a 26:12 K:BB through 24 innings. Warren is projected to face the Rays at home this weekend.

Tomoyuki Sugano SP | COL
Orioles' Tomoyuki Sugano: Fans eight in win
Sugano (3-1) allowed five hits and a walk over five shutout frames Monday, striking out eight and earning a win against the Yankees.
Sugano had to work around a few threats but still delivered his most impressive fantasy performance of the season. He nearly doubled his season strikeout total with Monday's outing and now owns a 17:6 K:BB through 33 innings. Sugano threw 59 of 95 pitches for strikes and generated 17 whiffs, including nine with his splitter. He'll carry a 3.00 ERA into his next matchup, which is expected to be this weekend at home against the Royals.
