Garrett (2-6) took the loss Tuesday, allowing four runs on eight hits and zero walks over 4.2 innings against the Phillies. He struck out three.

J.T. Realmuto and Jean Segura both tagged Garrett for solo home runs, and the Phillies racked up eight hits total over Garrett's 4.2 innings. This was the first start all season in which Garrett did not walk a batter and the first time that he struck out fewer than seven in five starts, so perhaps he was around the strike zone a bit too much. He will looks to get back on track in his next start, which is tentatively scheduled for this weekend against Atlanta.

Perez (9-3) took the loss Tuesday in Houston, allowing seven runs on six hits and three walks while striking out two in five innings.

Perez retired the Astros in order over the first three innings but struggled to record outs after that. In the fourth, he lost control and walked three batters before giving up a two-out grand slam to Aledmys Diaz. Houston tacked on two more runs in the fifth and, after giving up a single and a double to start the sixth, Perez was removed. The poor outing snapped a run of four consecutive starts where the lefty allowed only one earned run each time.

Wheeler (11-5) earned the win Tuesday, allowing one run on five hits and three walks over six innings against Miami. He struck out eight.

Wheeler was dominant again on the mound Tuesday, recording his fourth straight quality start and seventh in his last eight games. Additionally, Wheeler is now in the top 15 among starting pitchers in both wins and strikeouts as he continues to make his case as a true fantasy ace. The righty tentatively lines up for a tougher matchup against the Mets this weekend.

Stroman allowed four runs on five hits and two walks while striking out six in five innings of a 6-5 loss Tuesday against Washington. He did not factor into the decision.

Stroman's kryptonite Tuesday was Keibert Ruiz, as the catcher took Stroman deep with a solo shot in the second and a three-run blast in the fourth. The home-run ball has been a bit of an issue for the veteran this season as he's allowing 1.4 homers per nine innings after allowing less than one per nine across his first seven seasons. After an excellent July in which he gave up only two runs in four starts, the 31-year-old has allowed seven runs, including four homers, in 11.2 innings in August. He'll likely make his next start against the Nationals again, early next week in Washington.

Martin (2-3) was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte after earning the win in Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Royals. He allowed one run on three hits with three strikeouts and one walk across 5.2 innings.

The 25-year-old was called up as the 27th man for the twin bill and started the nightcap, and the only run he gave up came via a solo homer from Vinnie Pasquantino. Martin has a 4.25 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 26:10 K:BB across 36 innings this season and should remain in the mix for a promotion down the stretch whenever Chicago requires pitching depth.

Carrasco (13-4) earned the win Tuesday after he pitched 6.2 innings, surrendering two runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out nine versus the Reds.

Carrasco was able to limit the damage against him in this one to a two-run homer by Jake Fraley with one out in the top of the seventh frame. The nine strikeouts were his highest total since June 6, and he has now allowed three or fewer runs in seven straight outings. Over that stretch, Carrasco has produced a 1.69 ERA over 42.2 innings while registering four quality starts.

Peralta (4-2) earned the victory Tuesday over Tampa Bay, striking out four in five innings while allowing two runs on two hits.

Peralta allowed a single and a two-run homer in the third inning to account for the only baserunners against him. He retired every other batter he faced and completed the five frames while throwing 65 pitches. It was his second start since coming off the injured list after losing two-plus months to a lat injury. His pitch count will likely rise in his next start, slated for early next week against the Dodgers.

Bieber (7-6) earned the win after he pitched seven scoreless innings, allowing four hits and walking one while striking out eight against the Tigers.

Bieber was electric Tuesday, limiting the Tigers to just five baserunners while striking out eight batters for the third game in a row. The right-hander has now registered three straight quality starts after a six-run blowup versus the White Sox on July 24, allowing three runs while punching out 24 over his last 20 innings. He tentatively lines up to pitch again Sunday versus the Blue Jays.

Miley (shoulder) will make his third rehab start at Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Miley tossed 49 pitches in 2.1 innings in his most recent rehab outing Aug. 3 and will be looking to increase his workload in Wednesday's outing. Currently in the midst of his third stint on the injured list, Miley has been limited to just four starts with the Cubs in 2022.

Houser (elbow) will make his next rehab start Thursday with Triple-A Nashville, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

The 29-year-old covered two scoreless frames during his first rehab start Saturday, and he'll continue ramping up his workload Thursday. Fellow starter Freddy Peralta recently returned from the injured list after only two outings in the minors, but it appears Houser will require a longer rehab stint before rejoining Milwaukee's rotation.
