Woo (6-4) recorded the win Tuesday against the Red Sox, giving up one hit and two walks in seven scoreless innings. He struck out six.

Woo produced 16 whiffs during a masterful performance, bouncing back in a big way after he yielded a season-high five runs in his previous start. Tuesday marked the second time this year that the right-hander worked at least six innings while allowing just one hit, and it was also his second scoreless appearance of the campaign. On tap for Woo is a scheduled matchup on the road against the Twins next week. He sports a 3.12 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 78:14 K:BB across 89.1 frames in 2025.

Buehler (5-5) was saddled with the loss Tuesday against the Mariners, giving up eight runs on eight hits and four walks in 3.1 innings. He struck out two.

Buehler was shelled for a season-worst eight runs after matching his season high in innings pitched his last time out, and the four walks also represented a season worst. The 30-year-old right-hander generated 12 whiffs but fanned just two, and he's now surrendered at least one homer in nine of his 12 outings this year. Buehler owns a rough 5.95 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 53:22 K:BB over 59 innings during his first year with Boston, making him difficult to trust in his next scheduled appearance against the Angels.

Ray (8-2) allowed three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five over six innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Guardians.

Gabriel Arias' solo home run in the sixth inning ended up being the deciding run. Ray had produced eight straight quality starts between April 26 and June 5, and he was back at that level Tuesday after a four-inning effort in Colorado last week. Ray continues to successfully overcome a fairly high walk rate (3.6 BB/9), as he has a 2.68 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 97:35 K:BB over 87.1 innings through 15 starts. His next outing is projected to be at home versus the Red Sox this weekend.

Cecconi (2-3) allowed two runs on four hits and three walks while striking out six over five innings to earn the win Tuesday versus the Giants.

Cecconi continues to be a fine fifth starter for the Guardians, though the results hadn't been going his way prior to Tuesday. He still didn't get much run support, but Gabriel Arias' go-ahead solo shot for Cleveland in the sixth inning was enough for Cecconi to get the win. He's covered five innings in all three of his starts in June, allowing a total of five runs with a 17:6 K:BB across 15 innings in that span. He's now at a 4.15 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 34:11 K:BB through 30.1 innings over six starts this season. The right-hander's next start is projected to be on the road versus the Athletics this weekend.

Peterson did not factor in the decision during Tuesday's loss against Atlanta. He allowed three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out three over seven-plus innings.

Peterson gave up one run through seven frames and came out for the eighth inning. He put two runners on base without recording an out and was charged with both runs after Marcell Ozuna's three-run double. Peterson has given up three or fewer runs in seven straight outings, turning in six quality starts during that stretch. His 2.23 ERA over that seven-start span has lowered his season mark to 2.60 across 86.2 frames. Peterson's next outing is lined up to be in Philadelphia this weekend.

Schwellenbach did not factor in the decision during Tuesday's win over the Mets. He allowed four runs on six hits and two walks while striking out eight across seven innings.

Schwellenbach didn't have his best stuff Tuesday and gave up more than three earned runs for just the fourth time in 15 outings this season. He was taken deep by Juan Soto and Tyrone Taylor in the first and fifth frames, respectively, and Taylor also added a two-run double. Schwellenbach has struck out at least eight batters in four of his last five starts and now owns a 92:16 K:BB through 96.2 innings this season. He racked up a career-high 22 whiffs Tuesday, with seven coming via the fastball. Schwellenbach will carry a 3.26 ERA into his next start, which is lined up to be in Miami this weekend.

Bassitt didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against Arizona, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk over six innings. He struck out five.

Bassitt has had a rollercoaster past five starts, allowing four or more runs three times but allowing four combined runs in his other two outings. The 36-year-old has five quality starts in 15 appearances this season and hasn't exceeded six strikeouts in a start since April 16. He owns a 3.75 ERA and an 83:20 K:BB over 86.1 innings this season. He's tentatively scheduled to close out a two-start week Sunday against the White Sox.

Pfaadt didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against Toronto, allowing two runs on four hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out three.

Pfaadt has distanced himself from a brutal two-start stretch he endured as the calendar flipped from May to June in which he allowed 14 earned runs in three-plus innings. He's surrendered just four runs in 10 innings over two starts since then to get back on track. The 26-year-old has a 5.38 ERA on the year, but he's got a much more palatable 3.86 ERA outside of the two bad outings. He'll look to keep rolling in his next start, which is slated to come at Coors Field this weekend.

Abbott didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against Minnesota, allowing five runs (one earned) on eight hits and no walks with five strikeouts over 5.2 innings.

A two-out throwing error by Christian Encarnacion-Strand prior to an RBI single and a three-run home run saved Abbott's ERA from jumping up. Regardless, it was a rough outing for Abbott, whose eight hits allowed marked a season worst. The lefty has yielded one or fewer earned runs in eight of his last nine outings, posting a stellar 1.35 ERA and a 49:12 K:BB across 53.1 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Cardinals on Sunday.

Festa didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Reds, allowing four runs (two earned) on two hits and three walks with four strikeouts over 3.2 innings.

Festa joined the Minnesota rotation in early June after Pablo Lopez (shoulder) was placed on the injured list. Festa has failed to complete four innings in two of three starts since and has allowed 12 earned runs with a 14:7 K:BB spanning 13.1 innings. In six starts this season, he has a 4.78 ERA in 26.1 innings. He's scheduled to make another turn in the rotation Sunday against Milwaukee.
