Hicks didn't factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing two runs on three hits and three walks over five innings in a loss to the Marlins. He struck out six.

Hicks was solid for the most part Tuesday, holding the Marlins scoreless through his first three innings before Miami scored twice in the fourth to tie the game. It's the first time Hicks has allowed more than a single run in a start this year -- he's 2-0 with a 1.57 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 18:6 K:BB through his first four outings (23 innings). Hicks will look to get back in the win column in his next start, currently lined up for Sunday versus the Diamondbacks.

Paddack (0-1) took the loss Tuesday against the Orioles, allowing nine runs on 12 hits and a walk over 5.1 innings. He struck out two.

While Paddack's 5.1 innings pitched were a season high, he didn't miss many bats, allowing three runs in the second inning and another four in the fourth en route to his first loss of the year. The 28-year-old Paddack's ERA is up to 8.36 with a 2.07 WHIP and 9:5 K:BB through his first three starts (14 innings) this year. He's currently slated to face the White Sox at home in his next outing.

Rodriguez (3-0) earned the win Tuesday against the Twins, allowing two runs on four hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out six.

Rodriguez has held opponents to two runs or fewer in each of his four outings this year, earning three quality starts. The 24-year-old right-hander has a 2.63 ERA with a 1.17 WHIP and 27:8 K:BB through his first 24 innings after going 7-4 with a 4.35 ERA as a rookie last year. Rodriguez is currently lined up for a road start early next week against the Angels.

Gomber (0-1) took the loss Tuesday against the Phillies, allowing three runs on six hits while striking out four over 5.1 innings.

After allowing a two-run homer to J.T. Realmuto in the first inning, Gomber rebounded to keep Philly off the board until Bryce Harper's RBI double in the sixth. However, the Rockies couldn't get anything going off Ranger Suarez, sticking Gomber with a 5-0 loss, his first of the season. The left-hander sports a 4.95 ERA with a 1.50 WHIP and 18:8 K:BB through his first four starts (20 innings) this season. Gomber's currently on track to face the Padres at home in his next outing.

Suarez improved to 3-0 on the season in Tuesday's 5-0 win over Colorado, allowing seven hits and one walk while striking out eight over nine scoreless innings.

Suarez was stellar Tuesday, holding the Rockies without an extra-base hit en route to a complete-game shutout, his first since 2021. After taking a no-decision against Atlanta to start the year, Suarez has won his subsequent three starts, and he hasn't allowed a run in consecutive outings while logging 16 strikeouts over 15 innings in that span. Overall, the left-hander sports a 1.73 ERA with a 0.77 WHIP and 27:4 K:BB through 26 innings this season. Suarez will look to keep rolling in his next start, tentatively lined up for early next week in Cincinnati.

Weathers was removed from Tuesday's start against the Giants after the sixth inning due to cramping in his left hand, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

Weathers was removed for precautionary reasons, exiting after he tossed six frames of two-run ball during which he allowed five hits and a walk while striking out a season-high 10 batters. There doesn't appear to be any long-term concern for the left-hander, and considering he was at 90 pitches on the day, Weathers was unlikely to remain in the contest much longer. His status moving forward will receive an update following the game, but he seems likely to be ready to go for his next projected start Sunday on the road versus the Cubs.

Whitlock was removed from Tuesday's game against the Guardians due to left oblique tightness, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Whitlock had given up two runs across four innings before Joely Rodriguez relieved him out of the bullpen. The severity of his injury remains unknown, but the right-hander will presumably undergo imaging to determine whether or not he'll be required to miss his next turn through the rotation.

Gray didn't factor in the decision Tuesday against the Tigers after he allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits and three walks over seven innings. He struck out seven.

The right-hander recorded 17 swinging strikes on 97 pitches as he delivered his first quality start of the campaign. Gray lasted just 7.1 frames and allowed seven runs (five earned) in his first two outings, but he's pitched well in his past two starts with a 1.64 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 16:4 K:BB over 11 innings. He's still in search of his first win of the year and tentatively lines up for a home matchup with the Mariners early next week.

Mize didn't factor in the decision Tuesday against the Rangers after he struck out six and allowed two runs on five hits and no walks over six innings.

It was an impressive performance from Mize, who kept the defending champs scoreless until the fifth inning, when Texas scratched across two runs on four hits. The right-hander generated just seven swinging strikes but still produced a season-high six strikeouts. After missing all of last season while recovering from Tommy John and back surgeries, Mize appears to have settled in through three starts with a 4.11 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 12:3 K:BB in 15.1 innings.

Singer and the Royals won't play the White Sox on Tuesday since the game was postponed due to rain.

The game will be made up via a straight doubleheader Wednesday, and Singer is slated to start the first of the two contests. The right-hander is off to a strong start this season with a 0.98 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and 18:4 K:BB across 18.1 innings.
