Gray (0-4) took the loss Tuesday, allowing one run on four hits and four walks over five innings against the Orioles. He struck out three.

Gray pitched well Tuesday, allowing just one run while scattering four hits and four walks. However, he fell to 0-4 as the Nationals' bats were stymied in a 1-0 loss. The 25-year-old Gray has been solid since allowing five runs in his first start of the year, surrendering three over his last 16.2 innings. He has a 3.74 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 16:9 K:BB through 21.2 frames.

Kremer (1-0) earned the win Tuesday, allowing four hits and no walks over 6.2 scoreless innings in a 1-0 victory over Washington. He struck out six.

Kremer had no issues with the Nationals' lineup, allowing just four singles as he picked up his first win of the season. It's a solid bounce-back outing for Kremer, who allowed 13 runs over his first three starts this year, but the quality of the opposition Tuesday should be taken into account. The 27-year-old right-hander lowered his ERA to 6.16 with a 1.37 WHIP and 14:6 K:BB in 19 innings.

Cabrera (1-1) picked up the win Tuesday, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks over six innings against San Francisco. He struck out eight.

Cabrera was excellent after surrendering a two-run home run to Mike Yastrzemski in the first inning, blanking the Giants over his final five frames while allowing just three hits. The 25-year-old Cabrera has issued just three walks in his last two starts after walking 13 in his first two outings. He lowers his ERA to 4.08 with a 1.75 WHIP and 18:16 K:BB through 17.2 innings this season.

Lodolo (2-1) took the loss Tuesday against the Rays, allowing eight runs on 12 hits and one walk over 4.2 innings. He struck out four.

Lodolo had no answer for the Rays on Tuesday, allowing 12 hits, including three home runs, en route to his first loss of the season. The young left-hander's ERA ballooned from 2.12 to 4.98 after the rough outing. Lodolo has a 31:7 K:BB and 1.71 WHIP through 21.2 innings this season. He's currently lined up to make his next start at home against Texas, where he'll look to get back on track.

Bradley (2-0) earned the win Tuesday, allowing three hits and one walk over 5.1 scoreless innings against the Reds. He struck out nine.

Bradley was sharp again Tuesday, blanking Cincinnati while striking out nine en route to his second big-league win. The 22-year-old right-hander has looked good in his first two outings, allowing three runs through 10.1 innings while posting an impressive 17:2 K:BB. Bradley has an opportunity to establish himself in the Rays' rotation, with Jeffrey Springs (elbow) out for at least two months.

Giants manager Gabe Kapler told reporters after Tuesday's game against the Marlins that Wood (hamstring) will likely be placed on the 15-day injured list, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Wood left his start in the third inning after suffering a left hamstring strain while fielding a bunt and making an awkward throw to first. The left-hander appears all but certain to log an IL stint, and the Giants will consequently need to add a rotation arm for the next couple of weeks at the very least.

Houser (groin) allowed two runs over three innings of work with a walk and five strikeouts in a rehab appearance for Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

Houser threw 59 pitches, with 37 of them landing for strikes. It's the second rehab appearance for the right-hander as he works his way back from groin tightness that has sidelined him for the beginning of the 2023 campaign. Assuming a positive report following the outing, there's a good chance Houser joins the Brewers as a multi-inning relief option by the end of the week.

Wood left Tuesday's start against the Marlins with a left hamstring strain, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Wood picked up the injury while fielding a sacrifice fly in the third inning of his start against the Marlins. The left-hander should be considered day-to-day for now, but there's a very good chance he'll need to miss a start or two depending on the severity of the strain.

Rodriguez (1-0) picked up the win in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Guardians, scattering four hits over eight scoreless innings in a 1-0 victory. He struck out 10 without walking a batter.

The veteran southpaw was dominant, firing 72 of 99 pitches for strikes and not letting a Cleveland runner even get past first base until the eighth inning. Rodriguez has now delivered back-to-back quality starts after stumbling out of the gate to begin the season, and he'll take a 3.00 ERA and 19:5 K:BB through 24 innings into his next outing, likely to come early next week in Milwaukee.

Ray (elbow) told reporters before Tuesday's game against the Brewers that he's not quite ready to begin a throwing program, but that the progression on his left flexor strain has been good and he'll undergo an MRI later this week, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Ray was placed on the injured list after making just one start because of the flexor strain. The results of the imaging will likely determine when the 31-year-old will be able to start throwing. The hope was that Ray would miss around a month after the injury was announced, and he still has a chance to return to the mound around the start of May.
