Sugano allowed two runs on six hits and a walk while striking out three over 6.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Diamondbacks on Friday.

Sugano gave up a run in each of the second and fourth innings, but the Rockies' late rallies in the eighth and ninth frames got him off the hook. This was his third quality start of the season, and his first such effort since April 10 versus the Padres. That's mostly come down to not pitching particularly deep into games, though he's had a few bumpy starts after doing impressive work in March and April. The 36-year-old right-hander is at a 3.86 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 28:15 K:BB through 53.2 innings over 10 starts this season. That meager strikeout rate, combined with a brutal home park, will continue to depress Sugano's fantasy appeal. Sugano's next start is projected to be a tough one on the road versus the Dodgers.

Buehler allowed three runs on five hits and four walks while striking out four over five innings in a no-decision versus the Athletics on Friday.

Buehler allowed two runs in the first inning and another in the fourth. He was able to avoid giving up a home run for the first time in four starts, but the Padres' offense didn't show up in time to give him a chance at the win. The four walks were a season high for the right-hander. He's at a 5.05 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 41:18 K:BB through 46.1 innings over 10 starts this season. Buehler's next outing is projected to be at home versus the Phillies.

Springs (3-5) allowed four runs on three hits and three walks while striking out three over 6.1 innings to take the loss versus the Padres on Friday.

Springs was tagged for three home runs in the contest, with Ramon Laureano's solo shot in the seventh being the difference. This was Springs' third straight loss, and he's allowed nine runs (eight earned) over 17.1 innings in that span. For the season, he has a 4.11 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 50:19 K:BB through 61.1 innings across 11 starts. Springs was sharp to start the year, but all 11 homers he's allowed have come over his last seven games, a span in which he's gone 0-5. He'll try to right the ship in his next start, which is projected to come at home versus the Mariners.

The Mets are expected to recall Pintaro from Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Pintaro already has one MLB appearance under his belt from last season, though it ended with him allowing two runs on two hits and two walks while logging one strikeout in two-thirds of an inning. He's had far more success to begin the year at Triple-A, posting a 2.81 ERA and 1.15 WHIP alongside a 32:12 K:BB through 25.2 innings. His notable improvement will now buy him another look in the big leagues, where he'll likely work as a multi-inning reliever.

Tolle did not factor into the decision in Friday's 8-6 loss to the Twins, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks with nine strikeouts over six innings.

Tolle labored through a three-run second inning but was otherwise dominant, generating 15 whiffs on 85 pitches while limiting the Twins to just one extra-base hit. Through six major-league outings this season, the 23-year-old has delivered four quality starts while holding opponents to three earned runs or fewer each time out. He'll take a strong 2.45 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 39:9 K:BB across 36.2 innings into a tough test at home against Atlanta next week.

Prielipp did not factor into the decision in Friday's 8-6 win over the Red Sox, allowing six runs (five earned) on seven hits and three walks with one strikeout over four innings.

Prielipp yielded four runs in the first frame and struggled with his command overall, throwing just 49 of 85 pitches for strikes with only seven whiffs. It was the first major hiccup of the season for the rookie, who entered Friday having allowed two earned runs or fewer in each of his first five major-league outings. He now owns a 4.03 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 30:12 K:BB across 29 innings and will aim to bounce back in a road matchup against the White Sox next week.

Chandler (1-6) took the loss against the Blue Jays on Friday, allowing three runs (one earned) on two hits and three walks with 11 strikeouts over five innings.

Chandler allowed three runs in a third inning that included the leadoff runner reaching via catcher's interference and an error. While it marked his fifth loss over his past six outings, the 23-year-old flashed his upside by generating a whopping 22 swinging strikes on 99 pitches and notching a career-high 11 punchouts. He owns a 4.79 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 47:34 K:BB across 47 innings and lines up for a home matchup against the Cubs next week.

Gausman (4-3) earned the win against the Pirates on Friday, allowing one run on six hits and one walk with eight strikeouts over 6.2 innings

Gausman allowed a run in the first inning but settled in from there, throwing 65 of 94 pitches for strikes while generating a whopping 19 whiffs, including nine on his splitter. The veteran has now delivered seven quality starts while yielding three earned runs or fewer in nine of 11 outings this season. He'll carry a 3.23 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 61:10 K:BB across 64 innings into a home matchup against the Marlins next week.

Martinez did not factor into the decision in Friday's 4-2 win over the Yankees, allowing one run on nine hits and one walk with one strikeout over six innings.

Martinez surrendered a solo homer in the fifth inning but otherwise kept the Yankees at bay despite allowing 11 hard-hit balls. It continued a fantastic run for the veteran, who has now yielded two earned runs or fewer in each of his 10 outings this season while logging six quality starts. He'll carry a sparkling 1.51 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 36:12 K:BB across 59.2 innings into a road matchup against the Orioles next week.

Perez (3-6) earned the win Friday against the Mets, allowing one run on two hits and no walks with five strikeouts across 6.1 innings.

Perez's lone blemish was a first-inning solo homer allowed to Juan Soto. The right-hander faced the minimum the rest of the way before being pulled with one out in the seventh. It was the first time Perez recorded more than 18 outs in a start since Opening Day, and it was just his third quality start of the season. Perez has undeniably electric stuff, but he's been hurt by walks and homers this season, and he came into Friday having lost five straight starts. Friday was his first start of 2026 without issuing a free pass. With the strong outing, Perez lowered his ERA to 4.91 with a 63:28 K:BB across 58.2 innings this season. The 23-year-old will look to build on the performance with a road date in Toronto next week.
