Johnson (5-8) allowed one run on six hits and a hit batsman while striking out seven and walking none over six innings to earn the win over the Mariners on Tuesday.

This was Johnson's fourth quality start in his last five outings, and he's come away with a win in three of those games. The 24-year-old struggled at times during his early stints in the majors, but he's turned the corner with just 10 runs allowed over 44.1 innings since the start of August. Overall, Johnson sports a 4.88 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 70:39 K:BB through 90.1 innings over 20 games (17 starts) this year. He's projected to make his next start at home versus the Twins.

Gilbert (12-10) allowed two runs on six hits, two walks and a hit batsman while striking out seven over six innings to take the loss versus the Angels on Tuesday.

Gilbert collected a second consecutive quality start with this performance. He gave up a solo home run to Josh Lowe, which was just the fourth homer he's allowed on the road this season, compared to 24 surrendered in Seattle. Gilbert is at a 3.69 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 194:46 K:BB through 178 innings over 30 starts. The right-hander is within striking distance of the 200-strikeout mark, and he now heads into next week's start at home versus the Astros.

Sandoval (1-6) took the loss against Texas on Tuesday, allowing four runs on four hits and two walks over 2.2 innings. He struck out five.

Sandoval has continued to struggle through his brief tenure with the Red Sox. The southpaw has recorded just one quality start over his first 12 outings. The 29-year-old now owns a 4.99 ERA, 1.79 WHIP and 62:29 K:BB through 57.2 innings this season. Sandoval is slated to make his next start Sunday against Tampa Bay.

DeGrom (11-9) picked up the win over Boston on Tuesday, allowing two runs on three hits and one walk over five innings. He struck out eight.

DeGrom fanned at least seven batters for the fourth consecutive start by recording eight strikeouts Tuesday. The right-hander made just one mistake, giving up a two-run homer to Nick Sogard in the third inning. Despite the homer, the right-hander has yielded just four runs over his last four starts. This year, the 38-year-old owns a 3.79 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 194:39 K:BB over 154.1 innings. DeGrom is slated to make his next start Sunday against Toronto.

Buehler allowed two runs on seven hits, one walk and one hit batsman while striking out one over 4.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Rockies on Tuesday.

That's four straight no-decisions for Buehler, who has given up eight runs over 17 innings in that stretch. While he's not pitching poorly, he has been tagged for five home runs in that span. He's also up to 143.1 innings in the majors this year, his most in any campaign since 2021. He's posted a 4.58 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 122:54 K:BB across 30 starts in 2026. Buehler is projected to make his next start at home versus the Marlins over the weekend.

Feltner (6-10) allowed three hits and a walk while striking out five over five scoreless innings of relief to earn the win over the Padres on Tuesday.

Feltner stayed on normal rest for this appearance out of the bullpen, having last pitched Thursday versus the Yankees. He had lost his last five outings as a starter, posting a 6.93 ERA over 24.2 innings in that span. The right-hander is at a 5.63 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 88:50 K:BB through 116.2 innings over 24 games (22 starts) this season. While the Rockies' pitching plans are in flux going forward, Feltner's success in bulk relief could put him in a position to piggyback Kyle Freeland again as the latter ends the year on a limited workload due to a recent stint on the injured list.

Freeland allowed three runs on eight hits and struck out one without walking a batter over four-plus innings in a no-decision versus the Padres on Tuesday.

Freeland returned from a stint on the injured list due to cervical radiculopathy and threw 50 pitches (36 strikes). All three runs he gave up came on solo home runs. Ryan Feltner covered the last five innings, and with Freeland not at a full workload, a piggyback arrangement could be in store for his next turn through the rotation. Freeland has a 6.38 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 104:28 K:BB through 128.1 innings over 24 starts this season.

Griffin did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Guardians, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five across four innings.

Griffin kept the White Sox off the board until a Sam Antonacci RBI single in the fourth inning. The former was brought back out for the fifth but was quickly pulled after letting the first two batters he faced on base, one of which came home to score. Griffin ran up his pitch count to 83 (47 strikes), and it's his second consecutive outing in which he failed to complete at least five innings. In eight games since being acquired by the Guardians from the Nationals in August, Griffin has a 3-2 record with a 5.79 ERA and 1.61 WHIP across 37.1 innings. He's lined up to take on the Red Sox on the road next week in what currently projects to be his penultimate start of the regular season.

Pallante (12-7) took the loss after allowing eight runs (six earned) on eight hits and two walks over five innings against San Francisco on Tuesday. He struck out two.

Pallante gave up his most runs since his outing against Milwaukee on July 9 where he also yielded six runs. The 27-year-old came into this start with four straight no-decisions and has yet to pick up a win since Aug. 5. This year, the right-hander owns a 3.70 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 104:47 K:BB over 151 innings. Pallante is slated to make his next start Sept. 22 against the Pirates.

Wacha (9-9) took the loss after allowing four runs on four hits and one walk over six innings against the Astros on Tuesday. He struck out two.

Despite the loss, Wacha recorded his fifth straight start of at least six innings pitched. Wacha was a victim of the long ball, allowing two blasts to Jeremy Pena and one to Yordan Alvarez. The right-hander owns a 3.34 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 149:49 K:BB through 188.2 innings this season. Wacha is slated to make his next start Sunday against Pittsburgh.
