Lorenzen allowed three runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out two over four-plus innings in a no-decision versus the Padres on Tuesday.

Lorenzen wasn't very efficient, throwing 61 of 93 pitches for strikes in this outing. He was able to benefit from the road environment, giving up no home runs for the second start in a row away from Colorado. The veteran right-hander is still a risky fantasy option regardless of location, as he's struggled to limit damage more often than not. Lorenzen has a 6.54 ERA, 1.81 WHIP and 80:40 K:BB through 104.2 innings over 23 appearances (22 starts) this season. He is tentatively projected to make his next start at home versus the Rays.

King gave up four runs on six hits and a walk while striking out six over six innings in a no-decision versus the Rockies on Tuesday.

Three of the four runs on his line came on a pair of home runs, making this the first time King has allowed multiple homers in a game since June 10 versus the Reds. He ended up allowing just nine runs over 29 innings with a 26:11 K:BB across his five starts in July. The right-hander has a 3.38 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 109:50 K:BB through 125.1 innings over 22 starts this season. King is tentatively projected to make his next start at home versus the Giants, though he is a trade candidate.

Roupp (7-9) allowed four runs on four hits, three walks and a hit batsman while striking out one over 3.2 innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Brewers.

Roupp was fine the first time through the order, but he ran into trouble in the third and fourth innings. The right-hander still pitched better in July than he did in June, allowing seven runs over 24.2 innings with a 15:8 K:BB this month. On the year, he has a 4.12 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 114:48 K:BB through 21 starts. Roupp's next start is projected to be at San Diego over the weekend.

Henderson (5-1) allowed two hits and two walks while striking out seven over 5.2 scoreless innings to earn the win over the Giants on Tuesday.

Henderson has allowed just six runs over 21 innings with a 24:3 K:BB over four starts since he returned from a back strain. Hew threw 64 of 93 pitches for strikes in this outing, which was his second scoreless performance of the year. The right-hander has a 2.66 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 54:9 K:BB through 44 innings over nine starts this season. He's projected to make his next start at home versus the Pirates.

Detmers did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Astros, allowing two runs on two solo home runs and one walk while striking out nine over five innings.

Detmers gave up a solo homer to Yordan Alvarez just two batters into the game during a first inning in which he struck out the side. Christian Walker accounted for the Astros' other run against him with a solo shot in the fourth before Detmers closed his outing by striking out the side again in the fifth. The left-hander has been outstanding in the second half of the season, allowing just three runs across 16.1 innings while piling up 22 strikeouts in three starts. He now owns a 4.03 ERA and 1.10 WHIP, and his 145 strikeouts rank fourth in the American League. His next start is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday against the Orioles.

Wrobleski allowed five runs on seven hits and a hit batsman while striking out seven over six innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Tuesday.

Wrobleski was done in by the long ball Tuesday, giving up four homers that accounted for all five runs against him. He has allowed multiple homers just three times all season, and he had given up a total of four long balls across his previous seven starts combined. Consider this outing an anomaly for now -- Wrobleski's performance this season has earned him the benefit of the doubt. He's at a 2.88 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 87:21 K:BB through 112.2 innings over 18 games (17 starts). The southpaw is tentatively projected for a home start versus the Red Sox over the weekend.

Lambert did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Angels, allowing two runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out six over five innings.

Lambert threw 59 of his 90 pitches for strikes and generated 12 swinging strikes in another solid outing. He allowed an RBI single to Vaughn Grissom in the third inning before Jorge Soler added an RBI double in the fifth. The right-hander has now completed at least five innings in 14 of his last 15 starts. Lambert has held opponents to two or fewer runs in each of his last five outings while piling up 32 strikeouts across 28.2 innings during that span. The 29-year-old will carry a 3.06 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 100:39 K:BB into his next scheduled start Monday against the Blue Jays.

Castillo allowed five runs on 11 hits and two walks while striking out two over five innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Tuesday.

Castillo gave up multiple home runs for the third start in a row, as Shohei Ohtani led off the bottom of the first inning with a long ball and Max Muncy went yard in the fifth. This was the first time Castillo had allowed five earned runs since April. July was a rough month for the veteran, who gave up 14 runs over 23 innings across his four outings. On the year, he has a 5.06 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 86:32 K:BB across 99.2 innings over 20 games (17 starts). Castillo is tentatively projected to make his next start at home versus the Tigers, but that is a loose projection given the likelihood the Mariners move a pitcher before the trade deadline.

Bennett (6-4) took the loss Tuesday against the Athletics, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four over 6.1 innings.

Bennett surrendered a pair of singles in the second inning that produced the Athletics' first run before settling in and allowing just three hits over the next four frames. His night ended in the seventh as a leadoff walk was followed by a two-run homer from Brian Serven. The defeat was the left-hander's first since June 17, as he had gone 5-0 with a 1.40 ERA over his previous six starts. Bennett has completed at least five innings in all 11 of his starts this season and will carry a 2.47 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 46:11 K:BB into his next scheduled outing Sunday against a dangerous Dodgers lineup.

Jump (4-6) earned the win Tuesday against the Red Sox, allowing three hits and four walks while striking out seven over six scoreless innings.

Jump threw only 53 of his 90 pitches for strikes and issued four walks for the second consecutive start, but he overpowered Boston by generating 19 whiffs. He finished the outing by striking out four of the final six batters he faced and secured his first win since June 18 after dropping five straight decisions. During that losing streak, Jump surrendered 22 runs (20 earned) across 21.2 innings, causing his ERA to climb over two full runs. He now owns a 4.00 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 68:25 K:BB across 63 innings this season and is scheduled to make his next start Sunday against the Tigers.
