McGreevy didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Royals. He gave up five runs on eight hits and a walk across five innings, striking out two.

McGreevy tossed 60 of his 95 pitches for strikes, and as has been the trend all season long, he relied on his defense and his ability to induce weak contact to retire hitters. McGreevy has two or fewer strikeouts in four of his last six outings, going 0-4 with a 5.34 ERA, 1.59 WHIP, 4.8 K/9, 2.5 BB/9 and 1.7 HR/9 over that stretch. It's becoming difficult to trust him in fantasy, but he's not in danger of losing his rotation spot and should make his next start at home against the Diamondbacks.

Skubal allowed three runs on seven hits across 5.2 innings and did not factor into the decision in Friday's 4-3 win over the White Sox. He walked one and struck out eight.

It wasn't a typically dominant Skubal performance in his second game back after being on the injured list since the end of April. In those two starts, the star lefty has allowed six runs (five earned) across 10.1 innings while striking out 12, and he's now sitting with a 3.02 ERA and 9.6 K/9 through his first nine appearances this year. Home runs were the culprit Friday, as Skubal served up solo shots in the first and sixth innings to put sour bookends on his night. He'll look for more of his usual ace performance his next time out, which is currently scheduled for Wednesday against the Yankees at home.

Gibson allowed three runs on seven hits and four walks while striking out eight over five innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Friday.

Gibson was able to keep the ball down, but he's now walked at least four batters in three of his four outings during this stint in the majors. The rookie right-hander's eight strikeouts were a season high. He's struggled early in his big-league career, posting a 5.81 ERA, 1.71 WHIP and 20:18 K:BB through 26.1 innings over six outings (five starts). Until the walk rate comes down, he'll have a tough time being competitive. Gibson is tentatively projected to make his next start in a more favorable road matchup versus the Angels.

Sasaki allowed three runs on four hits and a walk while striking out six over 5.2 innings in a no-decision Friday versus the Orioles.

Sasaki improved compared to his last outing, a seven-run meltdown versus the White Sox. It wasn't enough to earn the win, as the Dodgers needed a comeback in the ninth inning to steal this victory. Sasaki has done a decent job of run prevention lately, allowing no more than three runs in seven of his last eight outings. He's at a 4.76 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 70:25 K:BB through 68 innings over 13 starts this season. Sasaki's next outing is projected to be on the road in San Diego.

Prielipp (2-5) allowed six runs (three earned) on nine hits and three walks while striking out four over six innings to take the loss versus the Diamondbacks on Friday.

Prielipp threw 63 of 97 pitches for strikes. It was a quality start by definition, but it wasn't a particularly good outing for the rookie left-hander, who had allowed four or more earned runs in four of his last five starts entering Friday's game. He's at a 5.17 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 55:23 K:BB through 55.2 innings over his first 11 major-league starts. Prielipp is tentatively lined up for a tough home start versus the Dodgers in his next outing.

Gausman (4-5) took the loss Friday against the Cubs, allowing seven runs on seven hits and four walks over two innings. He struck out three.

It was a disaster of an opening frame for Gausman, who walked the first two batters he faced before eventually giving up a grand slam to Carson Kelly as part of a seven-run inning. It's the third time in the right-hander's last four starts that he's allowed four or more runs, and he's surrendered five homers during that span. The poor showing boosted Gausman's ERA by more than a half run to 4.04 to go along with a 1.13 WHIP and 89:20 K:BB over 87 innings this year.

Castillo allowed five runs (four earned) on seven hits and struck out four without walking a batter over four innings of relief in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Red Sox.

Castillo wasn't tagged with the loss, as that went to Bryce Miller. The Mariners' offense didn't give much support to either pitcher, but Castillo didn't do his part to keep the game close after a four-run seventh inning. He has now allowed 11 runs (seven earned) across 15.1 innings in June. Both Castillo and Miller are expected to work in traditional starts at some point during the Mariners' six-game road trip next week.

Miller (3-1) allowed one run on three hits and struck out seven without walking a batter over five innings, taking the loss Friday versus the Red Sox.

Miller was strong again, throwing 46 of 66 pitches for strikes in a planned short start with Luis Castillo working in the long-relief role. However, the Mariners got no-hit through 6.1 innings and didn't score until the ninth, leaving Miller with no run support in a hard-luck loss. The right-hander is now at a 1.58 ERA, 0.70 WHIP and 43:5 K:BB over 40 innings through seven appearances (six starts) this season. The Mariners plan to have all of their starters work in a tandem situation at least once prior to the All-Star break. With Miller getting his done now, he should see something closer to a traditional starter's workload in his next outing.

Suarez (3-3) allowed one hit and three walks while striking out five over 6.2 scoreless innings to earn the win Friday over the Mariners.

Suarez didn't allow a hit until Josh Naylor's one-out double in the seventh inning. After ending May in shaky form, Suarez has allowed just three runs over 18 innings while posting an 18:5 K:BB across three starts in June. The southpaw has a 2.93 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 75:24 K:BB through 76.2 innings across 14 starts this season, including six scoreless outings. He is lined up to make his next start in Colorado.

Vasquez (6-5) took the loss against the Rangers on Friday, allowing seven runs (six earned) on eight hits and three walks with one strikeout over 3.1 innings.

Vasquez was spotted a five-run lead in the top of the first inning but allowed six runs of his own in the bottom half of the frame. It marked the shortest outing of the season for the 27-year-old, and he's now yielded four earned runs or more in three of his past five outings. He owns a 4.17 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 59:25 K:BB across 77.2 innings this season and faces a tough home test against Atlanta next week.
