Suarez did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing a run on 10 hits and two walks over 6.1 innings against Miami. He struck out three.

Suarez managed to hold the Marlins to just one run despite allowing 10 hits, thanks to a pair of key double-play balls. Overall, it was a solid start to the month for the 27-year-old southpaw after pitching to a 6.11 ERA over five starts in July. Suarez is 2-5 this season with a 4.01 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 76:30 K:BB across 15 starts (41.2 innings). He's currently scheduled to face the Nationals at home in his next outing, though it's worth noting the addition of Michael Lorenzen at the trade deadline gives the Phillies a crowded rotation.

Cobb allowed three runs on four hits and one walk while striking out four over six innings in a no-decision versus the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

Cobb was ill Monday, so he was pushed back a day in the rotation. He threw 84 pitches (53 strikes) Tuesday before turning the ball over to Ryan Walker. All three runs against Cobb came on solo home runs, making Tuesday the second time all year he's given up multiple homers. He's at a 3.05 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 104:29 K:BB through 112 innings over 20 starts this season. The right-hander is projected for a road start versus the Angels next week.

Alcantara did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing four hits and a walk over eight scoreless innings against Philadelphia. He struck out five.

Alcantara is finally starting to look like he did in his 2022 Cy Young campaign. He's now thrown 17 innings over his last two starts, allowing just one run on nine hits in that span. However, Alcantara was stuck with a no-decision Tuesday as the Phillies rallied to score three against David Robertson in the ninth inning. The 27-year-old Alcantara's pitched to a 2.02 ERA over his last five outings, lowering his ERA to 4.21 on the season with a 1.21 WHIP and 118:38 K:BB across 22 starts (143.1 innings). He's currently lined up for a tough road matchup with the Rangers this weekend.

Greinke did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing one run on four hits over five innings against the Mets. He struck out three.

Greinke allowed four hits for a third straight start Tuesday but managed to hold the Mets to one run over five innings of work. Over his previous eight starts (39.1 innings), Greinke owned an 0-6 record, a 7.55 ERA and a 19:6 K:BB, so Tuesday's outing was certainly encouraging for the 39-year-old. He'll look to turn in another strong outing against the Phillies this weekend during his next projected start.

Ragans will be promoted from Triple-A Omaha to start Wednesday's game against the Mets, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Wednesday's start was originally supposed to go to Alec Marsh, but Marsh's start will be pushed back to the weekend because he entered Tuesday's game out of the bullpen. Ragans holds a 4.13 ERA and 1.38 WHIP through 28.1 innings in Triple-A this season, but he surrendered just one run over five innings during his start against the Rays on July 15.

Heaney (8-6) earned the win Tuesday, allowing two hits without walking a batter over six scoreless innings against the White Sox. He struck out 11.

Heaney needed just 80 pitches to complete six shutout innings. He came out to start the seventh frame, but he was pulled after allowing a lead-off single to Yoan Moncada. The 32-year-old lefty was unable to complete six innings in any of his previous 10 outings, posting a 5.63 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 48:22 K:BB across 46.1 innings during that span. Heaney currently lines up to face the Marlins next.

Gray (7-9) took the loss Tuesday versus Milwaukee after he gave up five runs on four hits and three walks in 3.2 innings. He struck out three.

The right-hander limited the Brewers to a single run through three frames but was unable to get through the fourth after he allowed four runs on two hits, three walks and a stolen base. The brief outing is Gray's shortest of the campaign and ended a string of 10 straight starts of at least five innings. It'ss also the third consecutive start and the 12th time this season he's issued at least three free passes, raising his BB/9 to 4.2.

Quintana did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks over 6.2 innings against the Royals. He struck out two.

Quintana corralled a second consecutive quality start and pushed past the sixth inning for the first time in 2023. Though Quintana has yet to pick up a tally in the win column, he owns a 3.57 ERA and a 10:3 K:BB through his first three turns and lines up for a road turn against the Orioles for his next start.

Williams (1-3) took the loss Tuesday, allowing two runs on four hits and four walks over five innings against the Astros. He struck out six.

Though Williams only allowed two runs, he fell to his third loss of 2023 after Framber Valdez no-hit the Guardians. The rookie has allowed two or fewer runs in four straight starts but hasn't gone deeper than five innings in any of the outings. Williams' lack of depth is primarily due to poor command, as he's walked four batters in three of his last four appearances. Williams is expected to face off against the Blue Jays for his next start.

Peralta (7-8) earned the win Tuesday at Washington after he allowed three runs on six hits and two walks across six innings. He struck out seven.

The right-hander was mostly able to keep the Nationals in check, though they struck for three runs on three hits and two walks during the second inning. There was also an out at the plate in the third to preserve the quality start, which is Peralta's third in four outings since the All-Star break. The 27-year-old has a 3.52 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 31:7 K:BB across 23 innings during that stretch after he finished the first half with a 4.70 ERA in 17 starts.
