Pallante did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's 2-0 win against the Phillies, allowing four hits and three walks while striking out two over six innings.

Pallante went toe-to-toe with Cristopher Sanchez, working around some shaky control and inducing three key double plays. The 27-year-old has logged three quality starts in five outings since the All-Star break, yielding just six total earned runs in that span. He'll take a 3.46 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 92:40 K across 130 frames this season into a road matchup with the Reds next week.

Sanchez did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's 2-0 loss against the Cardinals, allowing four hits and no walks while striking out seven over six scoreless innings.

Sanchez was locked in a pitchers' duel with Andre Pallante before departing in a scoreless tie, generating 15 whiffs on 89 pitches without allowing an extra-base hit. The outing ends a streak of five consecutive wins for the southpaw, and he's yielded just two earned runs with two quality starts through three August outings. He'll take a 2.54 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 181:35 K across 155.2 innings this season into a home matchup with the Marlins next week.

Sandoval (1-1) was tagged with the loss against the Blue Jays on Tuesday, allowing four runs (two earned) on eight hits and three walks while striking out four across six innings.

Sandoval limited the Blue Jays to one run through four frames, and both of the runs he gave up in the fifth were unearned due to a throwing error by Caleb Durbin. It still wasn't Sandoval's best outing, as the 11 baserunners he allowed were his most of the season, and the eight hits he gave up were second-most. The positive news for the 29-year-old southpaw is that he's tossed at least 84 pitches in each of his last four outings, a sign that he's operating under a full workload after a lengthy recovery from an internal brace surgery on his throwing elbow that he underwent in June of 2024. Sandoval will take a 3.30 ERA and 1.70 WHIP over 30 innings into his next start, which is lined up for this weekend on the road against the Pirates.

Cease did not factor into the decision Tuesday against Boston, allowing three runs on five hits and four walks while striking out seven across five innings.

It was the first time since June 27 that Cease yielded at least four walks, and the two home runs he gave up tied a season high he set three times prior to Tuesday's start. Still, the right-hander extended his streak of seven-plus strikeouts to 16 starts and came away with his third consecutive no-decision. It was far from his best outing on the season, but Cease is still firmly in the mix for the AL Cy Young award, as he ranks second in the majors in strikeouts (191), fourth in ERA (2.40) and 10th in WHIP (1.07) across 131.1 innings. He's lined up to take on the Yankees this weekend at Rogers Centre.

McLean (8-8) took the loss against Atlanta on Tuesday, allowing one run on one hit and two walks while striking out three across six innings.

McLean yielded only two baserunners through his first four innings and kept Atlanta off the board before giving up a leadoff solo homer to Ozzie Albies in the fifth. McLean stayed in to pitch through the sixth inning to secure his 14th quality start of the season (tied for eighth-most in the majors), but he still took the loss as his Mets teammates failed to score. His three punchouts were also his second-lowest of the season (two against the Marlins on May 31), and the 25-year-old right-hander sits at a 3.42 ERA and 1.13 WHIP across 136.2 innings this season. McLean's next start is lined up for next week at home against the Padres.

Perez (8-6) earned the win against the Mets on Tuesday, allowing four hits and three walks while striking out two across six scoreless innings.

Perez allowed at least one baserunner in five of the six innings he pitched Tuesday, but the only time the Mets advanced a runner to third base was in the sixth, which ended with a 4-6-3 double play. Perez has now tossed 16 straight scoreless innings spanning three starts and sits at a 2.96 ERA and 1.15 WHIP over 106.1 innings this season. His next start is lined up for next week on the road against the Twins in what projects to be a two-start week for the veteran southpaw.

Jax (elbow) received an injection in right elbow after visiting with Dr. Keith Meister in Dallas, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.

Jax was placed on the 15-day injured list with right elbow discomfort Sunday, and manager Kevin Cash outlined that the injection was to "calm the back of the elbow down." Cash also explained that Jax is "in a really good spot" and that the team will "take the ball out of his hand for two more days and then get him back throwing." Jax appears to have avoided a worst-case scenario, and he could be on track for a return to action relatively close to when he's first eligible Aug. 21.

Glasnow (back) will make another minor-league rehab start with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Glasnow is set to be stretched out to roughly four innings and/or 60 total pitches in the outing as the Dodgers continue to slowly ease him back into a full workload. The right-hander is then expected to throw one more rehab start following Friday's outing before Los Angeles would consider activating him from the 60-day injured list. Glasnow has been sidelined since May 8 while recovering from lower back spasms, and he appears to be on track to return to the major-league roster before the end of August.

Gallen (elbow) completed a 33-pitch bullpen session in Arizona on Tuesday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Gallen was able to complete the throwing session without any issues, successfully taking the next step in his recovery from right elbow inflammation. The right-hander isn't eligible to be activated from the 60-day injured list until Sept. 7, so Gallen could throw another bullpen session or two before moving on to facing live hitters and eventually heading out on a rehab assignment.

Burnes (elbow/shoulder) threw a 30-pitch bullpen session in Arizona on Tuesday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Burnes has been sidelined for the entirety of the 2026 campaign while recovering from June 2025 Tommy John surgery and a teres major strain, the latter of which resulted in him being shut down from throwing in early June. The right-hander has been throwing bullpen sessions for approximately two weeks and looks to be on track for a return from the 60-day injured list in early September.
