Weathers completed 6.1 innings in a no-decision against Baltimore on Monday, allowing two runs on one hit and three walks while striking out nine batters.

Weathers created some intrigue when he got through six innings without allowing a hit, but Adley Rutschman broke up the shot at history with a single leading off the seventh inning. Tyler O'Neill drew a walk two batters later, which ended Weathers' outing. Both runners he turned over to the bullpen came around to score, denting what was still a strong final line. Weathers looked dominant for much of Monday, racking up 15 swinging strikes and nine punchouts. The lefty has been on a roll of late, allowing a combined five earned runs while posting a 26:6 K:BB over his past 24 innings spanning four starts. He'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, which is projected to be a road tilt against the Mets.

Young allowed two runs on three hits and three walks while striking out five batters over 5.1 innings in a no-decision against the Yankees on Monday.

This was far from Young's most dominant start, but he mostly kept a talented Yankees lineup in check. The right-hander served up a two-run homer to Ben Rice in the second inning and otherwise kept New York out of the scoring column. Young was somewhat wild, throwing only 54 of 97 pitches for strikes and issuing three free passes, but the three hits he allowed were his second-lowest in an outing this season. He'll carry a 4.15 ERA through 26.1 innings into his next start, which lines up to be a road matchup in Washington.

Manoah allowed two hits and walked five batters while striking out two over five scoreless innings in relief against Cleveland on Monday.

The Angels had Brent Suter open the contest and deployed two other pitchers before turning the ball over to Manoah in the fourth frame. Manoah went the rest of the way, tossing 91 pitches across five innings. The right-hander struggled with his control, issuing five walks and throwing 47 strikes to 44 balls, but he yielded just two hits and managed to keep the Guardians out of the scoring column. Manoah has tossed six scoreless innings across his first two appearances for the Angels after missing over a month to begin the season due to a finger issue. It remains to be seen if he'll keep working behind an opener or move into a traditional starting role, but given his pitch count and results Monday, it seems likely he'll continue to be part of the team's rotation plans.

Cantillo (3-1) earned the win over the Angels on Monday, allowing five hits and issuing no walks while striking out four batters over six scoreless innings.

Three of the five hits Cantillo allowed came in the sixth frame, but he managed to escape that inning without a run on his ledger. The southpaw threw 63 of 93 pitches for strikes and got 14 whiffs while notching his second quality start of the campaign. Cantillo has now surrendered two or fewer runs in in seven of his nine starts, though this was the first time he's held an opponent scoreless in an outing. He's been a solid fantasy asset, posting a 2.98 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 41:20 K:BB through 45.1 innings.

Gowdy was released by the Mets on Monday.

Gowdy struggled to find success at Double-A Binghamton, where he posted a 9.64 ERA and 2.20 WHIP with a 12:9 K:BB across 9.1 innings. He'll search for an opportunity elsewhere after being handed his release Monday.

Kirby (5-2) earned the win Monday, allowing one run on seven hits and two walks over five innings in a 3-1 win over Houston. He struck out seven.

Kirby allowed some traffic but largely kept the Houston offense in check, generating 12 whiffs and tallying a season-high seven strikeouts en route to the victory. Monday marked the right-hander's shortest outing of the campaign, as he's a workhorse that consistently works into the sixth inning and beyond. Kirby has been a pillar of consistency, posting a 2.84 ERA and 1.16 WHIP with a 46:14 K:BB across 57 innings (nine starts). He'll look to stay in the win column in his next outing, tentatively scheduled for Sunday against San Diego.

Johnson (back) was activated from the 7-day injured list May 5.

Johnson made his Triple-A Durham debut Thursday after putting a lower-back strain behind him, and while he didn't work deep into the outing, he had his swing-and-miss stuff working. He allowed three hits and walked one while striking out five over 3.1 scoreless frames.

Soroka (5-2) earned the win Monday, allowing three hits and a walk over 6.1 scoreless innings against Texas. He struck out five.

Soroka was stellar, stifling the Texas offense with little resistance across 6.1 innings. Monday marked the right-hander's first scoreless outing since his season debut March 30 against Detroit, though he has now held opponents to two or fewer runs in six of eight starts. The 28-year-old has regularly looked sharp in his first year with Arizona, posting a 3.53 ERA and 1.32 WHIP with a 47:12 K:BB across 43.1 innings. Even those solid numbers are inflated by a lone blowup outing April 30 against Milwaukee in which he allowed eight earned runs. Soroka's next start is tentatively lined up for Sunday against Colorado.

Gordon (lat) was activated from the 7-day injured list Sunday.

Gordon got roughed up in his first appearance at Double-A this season, surrendering five runs (three earned) on seven hits while striking out one over 1.2 innings. However, he'll presumably have plenty of opportunities to turn his campaign around at Double-A Binghamton now that he's returned to health.

Corniell (arm) gave up two hits and walked three while striking out four across 3.1 scoreless innings during Friday's game against Triple-A Durham.

Corniell was cleared to make his 2026 debut after missing time with arm trouble. He looked a bit rusty in his first appearance of the season, but he managed to navigate around traffic on the bases for a decent first outing. Corniell will set his sights on staying healthy after also missing action over the last two seasons while recovering from UCL surgery.
