Rodriguez allowed six hits and three walks while striking out three over 6.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Astros on Tuesday.

Rodriguez still gave up a bit too much in terms of baserunners, but he was effective at keeping them from scoring. This was his first start since July 10, as the Diamondbacks built in a little extra time off around the All-Star break for the struggling southpaw, which appears to have paid immediate dividends. He trimmed his ERA from 5.94 to 5.50 and also has a 1.65 WHIP and 93:32 K:BB across 86.2 innings through 17 starts this season. Rodriguez is projected for another tough interleague matchup early next week, when he's slated to toe the rubber in Detroit.

Boyd (11-3) earned the win Tuesday, allowing four hits and one walk over seven scoreless innings against the Royals. He struck out six.

Boyd continued his stellar 2025 campaign Tuesday, tossing seven scoreless innings to notch his 11th win of the year and fourth in a row. The southpaw entered the outing with a 0.90 ERA and 0.70 WHIP over 20 innings in July, a stretch that included two shutouts. With a third blanking added to his July resume, Boyd lowered his season marks to a 2.20 ERA and 1.01 WHIP across 118.2 innings and 20 starts. While Paul Skenes and Zack Wheeler headline the National League's top arms, Boyd's dominance this season has put him firmly in that conversation.

Misiorowski allowed three hits and a walk while striking out seven over 3.2 scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Tuesday.

Misiorowski was limited to 64 pitches (45 strikes), which suggests that the Brewers are initiating a workload management plan for their prized rookie in the second half. Per Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, Misiorowski knew this start would be one with a pitch count. Across all levels this season, he's thrown 92.2 innings, which is approaching his high mark of 99.1 frames from last year. The specific details of any innings limit aren't known yet, but Tuesday's start in an interleague matchup makes sense as one to rein him in while letting him work more against key divisional opponents. Misiorowski is at a 2.45 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 40:12 K:BB through 29.1 innings across six starts in the majors. He is tentatively projected for a home start versus the Cubs next week. It's possible the Brewers will turn to a six-man rotation once Nestor Cortes (elbow) is activated from the injured list, but the team has yet announce if that's the direction it will take.

Muncy (knee) took batting batting practice on the field Tuesday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Muncy resumed swinging a bat Friday, and he took another step toward his return from a left knee injury Tuesday. The veteran third baseman was given a six-week timeline when he was placed on the injured list July 3, and he appears to be in line to meet or beat that estimate. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Muncy's return is "coming a lot quicker than we had hoped or had expected" and said the slugger could be back in "a couple weeks," per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic.

Casparius was removed from Tuesday's game against the Twins due to an apparent hamstring injury, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Casparius allowed four consecutive batters to reach base after entering the game in the sixth inning. He grabbed at his right hamstring before calling for a trainer and was removed from the game without recording an out. More information on his status should come once the Dodgers are able to take a closer look at him.

Cabrera (4-4) picked up the win Tuesday against San Diego, allowing one run on five hits and no walks with six strikeouts over 5.2 innings.

Cabrera was lifted from his last start before the All-Star break with elbow discomfort, but he didn't need to miss a start due to the issue. The 27-year-old threw 86 pitches in Tuesday's win and allowed two or fewer runs for the sixth time in seven starts. During that stretch, he has a 2.82 ERA and a 39:9 K:BB across 38.1 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Cardinals next time out.

Kolek (3-5) took the loss Tuesday against Miami, allowing three runs on eight hits and one walk with five strikeouts across 5.2 innings.

Kolek returned after over two weeks at Triple-A El Paso to make Tuesday's start, and he fell one out short of his third quality start of the campaign. He's now allowed at least three runs in five of his last six starts, and he hasn't exceeded five strikeouts in nine outings. The 28-year-old has a 4.28 ERA across 73.2 big-league innings in 2025. If Kolek sticks in the rotation, his next start would likely come Sunday at St. Louis.

Henriquez picked up the save Tuesday against the Padres, allowing two runs on two hits and one walk with one strikeout across one inning.

Henriquez inherited a three-run lead in the top of the ninth and nearly squandered the advantage by allowing a leadoff walk and back-to-back doubles that cut the the Padres' deficit to one. However, he rebounded and retired the next three batters he faced to notch his sixth save of the campaign. Henriquez and Calvin Faucher have been battling for closer duties, but neither has done enough to win the job at this point. In his last 10.1 innings, Henriquez has allowed four runs and generated a 15:4 K:BB.

Sanoja went 1-for-2 with an RBI triple during Tuesday's 4-3 win over San Diego.

The 22-year-old entered the contest in the sixth inning at third base for Graham Pauley and logged a pair of at-bats. Sanoja gave the Marlins a much-needed insurance run in the bottom of the eighth inning with an RBI triple that plated Heriberto Hernandez. Since June 27, Sanoja is 7-for-27 (.259) with a double, two triples, six runs scored and four RBI.

Lord didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against Cincinnati, allowing one run on six hits and no walks over four innings. He struck out one.

As expected, Lord threw just 50 pitches in what was his first start since May 6. The 25-year-old had pitched out of the bullpen since, but Washington opted to push him back into the rotation following the All-Star break. In seven starts this season, Lord owns a 4.15 ERA and a 22:9 K:BB across 30.1 innings. He'll likely still be on a pitch count in his next appearance, which is expected to come early next week against the Astros.
