Pfaadt (8-4) allowed two runs on nine hits and a walk while striking out four over five-plus innings to earn the win over the Mariners on Tuesday.

Pfaadt had five scoreless innings on his ledger before allowing solo home runs to Randy Arozarena and Rowdy Tellez in the sixth. Even with the late fade, this was a massive improvement over Pfaadt's previous two outings, during which he allowed a total of 14 runs over three innings. The right-hander is still at an ugly 5.37 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 55:18 K:BB through 70.1 innings over 14 starts this season. His next start is projected to be on the road versus the Blue Jays next week.

Gordon (oblique) played catch on the field prior to Tuesday's game against the Giants, MLB.com reports.

Gordon has been sidelined since June 3 with an oblique strain, and Tuesday's throwing session was his first since he was placed on the injured list. There is no timeline for his return.

Cease (2-5) allowed three hits and five walks while striking out 11 over seven scoreless innings to earn the win over the Dodgers on Tuesday.

Cease overcame issuing a season-high five walks to post his first scoreless outing of the season. The 11 strikeouts were also a season high, and it was enough to get him back in the win column for the first time since April 2. The right-hander is now at a 4.28 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 96:29 K:BB through 75.2 innings over 14 starts, five of which have been quality starts. Cease's next outing is projected to be a rematch versus the Dodgers in Los Angeles early next week.

Soriano allowed one run on two hits and two walks while striking out 12 over seven innings in a no-decision versus the Athletics on Tuesday.

Soriano gave up a season-high seven runs to the Red Sox in his last outing, but he bounced back well Tuesday. The 12 strikeouts were easily a season high, and he was able to come away with his seventh quality start of the campaign. He also walked fewer than three batters for the first time in seven starts. The right-hander is now at a 3.86 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 64:39 K:BB across 79.1 innings over 14 starts. Soriano is projected to make his next start in a tough road matchup versus the Yankees.

Smith (3-3) earned the win Tuesday, allowing one run on seven hits and two walks over six innings against the Astros. He struck out four.

The right-hander allowed nine Astros to reach base but limited the damage to just one run, which came on an Isaac Paredes sacrifice fly in the third inning. Smith has bounced back from a rough end to May -- he posted a 6.23 ERA over his final two starts of the month -- by giving up only one run across 11.1 innings through his first two outings in June. The 25-year-old owns a 2.37 ERA and 1.17 WHIP over 13 starts this season.

Gore didn't factor into the decision during Tuesday's extra-inning loss to the Mets, allowing two runs on five hits and no walks across six innings. He struck out six.

Gore turned in his fourth consecutive quality start, adding to what's been a stellar campaign for the 26-year-old. He allowed a solo homer to Juan Soto in the third inning, marking the first long ball Gore has allowed in six starts. Gore has struck out six or more batters in all but one of his 14 starts this season, and he owns a 2.88 ERA to pair with a 114:22 K:BB over 81.1 innings in 2025. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Marlins on Sunday to close out a two-start week.

Canning didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against Washington, allowing four runs on seven hits and two walks with four strikeouts over 5.1 innings.

Canning was not as sharp Tuesday after blanking the Dodgers over six innings in his previous start. He tied his season highs in hits and earned runs allowed, and he yielded a pair of home runs. Still, it's been a strong season for the 29-year-old, who has taken just one loss since his season debut. He has tallied a 3.22 ERA over 64.1 innings in 2025 and is tentatively lined up to face the Rays on Sunday.

Fried (9-1) picked up the win Tuesday against Kansas City, allowing two runs on six hits and no walks with four strikeouts across seven innings.

Fried furthered himself from his six-run start May 30, tossing a second consecutive quality start since the rough outing. The 31-year-old has completed at least seven innings in six of his 14 starts this season, as Tuesday's outing marked his fourth start with no walks allowed. On the year, Fried boasts a 1.84 ERA, a 0.93 WHIP and an 81:18 K:BB over 88 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to close out the two-start week with an outing in Boston on Sunday.

Cameron (2-2) took the loss Tuesday against the Yankees, allowing six runs on seven hits and one walk over 5.2 innings. He struck out six.

Cameron allowed just three runs over his first five starts this season, spanning 31.2 innings. However, the 25-year-old came down to earth Tuesday, yielding a three-run home run to Austin Wells and a two-run homer to Aaron Judge during the start. The only positive takeaway from the outing was Cameron's strikeout ability. He had topped three strikeouts just once before Tuesday's start. On the year, Cameron has posted a 2.17 ERA and 25:11 K:BB over 37.1 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Rangers his next time out.

Prielipp was placed on the 7-day injured list at Double-A Wichita due to a blister on his pitching hand, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Prielipp had just returned from the development list (which was likely used to reduce his workload this season) and threw 8.2 scoreless innings over his last two starts with a 9:1 K:BB. He has a 3.13 ERA with a 40:6 K:BB in 31.2 innings at Double-A.
