Ryan Feltner SP | COL
Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Blasted for five runs
Feltner (0-2) took the loss against Atlanta on Monday, allowing five runs on 10 hits and one walk while striking out four batters over 4.2 innings.
Feltner was handed a three-run lead after half an inning, but he couldn't hold onto it. The righty did manage to make it through two scoreless frames, but Atlanta struck for two runs in the third inning and another in the fourth before Michael Harris chased Feltner with a two-out, two-run double in the fifth. All told, Feltner gave up a season-high 10 hits, and this was the second time in his past three appearances that he's yielded five runs. Feltner did have a bit of bad luck Monday -- five of Atlanta's 10 hits left the bat at less than 75 mph -- and he was at least able to grind through 95 pitches after having his start pushed back from Sunday due to back tightness.

Raisel Iglesias RP | ATL
Braves' Raisel Iglesias: Nails down fifth save
Iglesias notched a save against the Rockies on Monday, allowing one hit and striking out one batter in one scoreless inning.
Iglesias had a comfortable three-run lead to work with when he entered in the ninth frame, and he cruised through three outs, needing just nine pitches (eight of which were strikes) to secure the save despite giving up a two-out double. It was a promising bounce-back for the veteran closer after he allowed four runs over two innings across his previous two appearances. Iglesias holds an unimpressive 5.73 ERA on the campaign, but he has a more promising 10:2 K:BB and 1.09 WHIP over 11 frames and has been successful on five of seven save chances.

Bryce Elder SP | ATL
Braves' Bryce Elder: Secures first victory
Elder (1-1) earned the win over Colorado on Monday, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out four batters over six innings.
Elder got off to a rocky start when he fell behind on a three-run homer by Hunter Goodman in the first inning, but the righty hurler bounced back and didn't allow another run for the remainder of what ended up being a quality start. He wasn't overpowering in the outing, notching just seven whiffs and four punchouts, but Elder's performance was good enough to net him his first victory of 2025. His ERA still stands at a poor 5.33, but Elder has been better of late, giving up a combined four runs across 12 frames over his post two starts.

Nick Martinez SP | TB
Reds' Nick Martinez: Picks up first win
Martinez (1-3) yielded one run on five hits and two walks over six innings Monday, striking out three and earning a win over the Cardinals.
Martinez coughed up an RBI double to Nolan Arenado in the first inning but settled in for his first quality start and win of the 2025 campaign. Martinez was fairly efficient, throwing 76 pitches (45 strikes) and generating three double plays. He dropped his ERA to 4.68 alongside a 26:11 K:BB through 32.2 frames. Martinez is lined up for a home start against Washington this weekend.

Gavin Lux SS | TB
Reds' Gavin Lux: Doubles twice in win
Lux went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a run scored and one RBI in Monday's win over St. Louis.
Lux singled and scored in the fourth inning before adding an RBI double in the sixth. He posted a .616 OPS through his first 16 games this season but has since turned a corner. Over his last 11 games, Lux has produced seven multi-hit performances -- including three straight -- to boost his season OPS to .911 through 105 plate appearances.

Andre Pallante SP | STL
Cardinals' Andre Pallante: Takes loss in quality start
Pallante (2-2) allowed three runs on six hits and two walks over six innings Monday, striking out four and taking a loss against the Reds.
Cincinnati chipped away at Pallante throughout his start by plating runs in the third, fourth and sixth innings. It was Pallante's first quality start since April 11. However, he's given up three or more runs in three straight starts after allowing just four total runs through his first three outings. His ERA sits at 4.13 with a 20:12 K:BB through 32.2 frames. Pallante is lined up for a home matchup against the Mets this weekend.

Emilio Pagan RP | CIN
Reds' Emilio Pagan: Secures save Monday
Pagan threw a perfect inning to earn a save against the Cardinals on Monday.
Pagan quickly rolled through St. Louis' 2-3-4 hitters on just seven pitches. He's now converted four consecutive saves and eight of his nine save chances this season. No other Reds bullpen arm has recorded a save since April 7. Pagan lowered his ERA to 2.51 with a 14:2 K:BB through 14.1 frames.

Kavares Tears OF | SD
Padres' Kavares Tears: Off to decent start at Single-A
Tears (hamstring) is batting .289 with one home run, seven RBI and three runs scored over 10 games in 2025 for Single-A Lake Elsinore.
Tears got off to a slow start to 2025 after suffering a hamstring injury. He was cleared for his professional debut April 15 will presumably continue his development with the Storm moving forward.

Jose Urena SP | LAA
Mets' Jose Urena: Notches three-inning save
Urena picked up a three-inning save in Monday's 19-5 victory over the Nationals, allowing five runs on seven hits and a walk. He struck out three.
The veteran journeyman collected his sixth career save in this blowout win, firing 68 total pitches to absorb innings for the rest of the bullpen. Urena was added to the Mets' roster Sunday as A.J. Minter (lat) was placed on the injured list. The 33-year-old Urena is set to sop up more innings for New York while he is on the team, as he now sports a career 4.80 ERA.

Drey Jameson RP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Drey Jameson: Demoted to Triple-A
Jameson was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Monday, Aaron Hughes of SI.com reports.
Jameson appeared in three games during his stint with the big-league club, one of which resulted in his first save April 20 against the Cubs. This move will presumably clear a roster spot for the return of Kevin Ginkel (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list, though the club has yet to officially announce a corresponding move.
