Lorenzen (1-2) took the loss Tuesday against the Astros, allowing seven runs (two earned) on six hits and one walk while striking out three over 2.2 innings.

Lorenzen ran into trouble early, allowing a solo homer to Christian Walker in the second inning before things unraveled completely in the third. Defensive miscues opened the door for Houston after a dropped infield pop-up and a leadoff double, and the 34-year-old compounded the damage by balking both runners into scoring position before Yordan Alvarez tied the game with a two-run double. The Astros kept piling on from there, turning the inning into a six-run rout and forcing Lorenzen's exit. The right-hander now owns an 8.10 ERA, 2.22 WHIP and a 13:5 K:BB through 16.2 innings, with a difficult matchup against the Dodgers looming in his next scheduled start.

Yamamoto allowed one run on four hits and one walk while striking out seven batters over 7.2 innings in a no-decision against the Mets on Tuesday.

Yamamoto began his outing by allowing a leadoff homer to Francisco Lindor, but he then retired the next 20 batters who stepped up to the plate against him. The spell was broken with a Bo Bichette double in the seventh inning, and four of the final seven Mets to face Yamamoto reached base, but none scored. Overall, the All-Star hurler got a whopping 23 whiffs while working into the eighth for the first time this season. Yamamoto has recorded a quality start in all four of his appearances on the campaign and has yet to give up more than two runs in any outing. He's cruised to a 2.10 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 21:3 K:BB across his first 25.2 innings in 2026.

Weathers (0-2) took the loss Tuesday against the Angels, allowing five runs on five hits and two walks with 10 strikeouts across five innings.

Weathers was hurt by the long ball Tuesday, as he surrendered back-to-back-to-back home runs to Mike Trout, Jo Adell and Jorge Soler in the top of the first inning, putting the Yankees in a quick 3-0 hole. Weathers later gave up another solo shot to Oswald Peraza in the third frame. The first three homers came on fastballs before Peraza deposited a changeup into the left-field seats. Aside from the home runs, Weathers clearly had the swing-and-miss stuff working once again, as he's racked up at least seven strikeouts in three of his first four starts to begin the season. Weathers had yet to allow a home run prior to Tuesday. He now owns a 4.29 ERA and 28:7 K:BB across 21 innings. He's pitched much better than that ERA would indicate and has shown he belongs in the Yankees' rotation. Weathers is scheduled to make his next start Sunday at home against the Royals.

Gore (2-1) took the loss against the Athletics on Tuesday, allowing two runs on three hits and six walks while striking out five batters over 4.2 innings.

It's somewhat impressive that Gore was able to emerge with just two runs allowed on his stat line given the six walks. The Rangers left six of the batters who reached against the lefty on base, but the two runs they scored against him were enough to get the victory. Gore hadn't previously had control problems this season -- he allowed a tolerable five walks over 16.1 innings across his first three starts -- but he did struggle with walks during the second half of last year, so it's something to keep an eye on. His overall 3.00 ERA and 30:11 K:BB through 21 frames to begin the campaign remain promising.

Springs (3-0) earned the win over Texas on Tuesday, allowing one run on three hits and two walks while striking out five batters over 6.1 innings.

Springs gave up a run in the first inning but shut down the Rangers after that, allowing just one hit (a single) and one walk along with zero runs following that initial frame. The lefty recorded his third straight quality start, all of which have resulted in victories. Springs has been one of MLB's best hurlers in the early portion of the season, posting a 1.46 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 20:8 K:BB over 24.2 frames though his first four starts. He's shown some flashes of excellence in prior campaigns -- especially in 2022, when he put up a 2.46 ERA across 135.1 regular-season innings with the Rays -- so fantasy managers have reason to hope that Springs can maintain this groove, though he's unlikely to be quite this good for the remainder of the season.

Detmers (1-1) earned the win Tuesday against the Yankees, allowing one run on four hits and no walks with nine strikeouts across seven innings.

After getting hit hard in his previous start against Atlanta, Detmers went a season-high seven innings, and it was his second start of the season with nine strikeouts and zero walks after he accomplished the feat in just 4.2 innings versus Houston on March 28. Detmers has always had intriguing stuff, but putting it together consistently has been the issue for the 26-year-old. Now getting a chance in the rotation again this season, Detmers owns a 3.57 ERA and 26:6 K:BB across 22.2 innings. Four of his strikeouts came on his changeup, which has been his most improved pitch in 2026 to go along with a mid-90s fastball and plus slider. Detmers is in line to make his next start Sunday at home against the Padres.

Woo (0-2) took the loss against San Diego on Tuesday, allowing three runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out three batters over seven innings.

Woo gave up three runs in the third inning but was scoreless during his other six frames. However, Seattle's offense managed just one run of support, resulting in Woo taking his second straight loss. The right-hander is still looking for his first win despite pitching to a 2.16 ERA over 25 innings across his first four starts. Woo will look for a better result -- and more run support -- in his next start, which lines up to be a home matchup versus the Rangers.

Misiorowski did not factor into the decision in the Brewers' 9-7 extra-inning loss to the Blue Jays. He allowed two runs on five hits while striking out five across 5.1 innings. He did not issue a walk.

Misiorowski allowed just two baserunners over the first four innings before giving up home runs to Andres Gimenez and Daulton Varsho in the fifth and sixth, respectively. Misiorowski was still in line for the win despite the two long balls, but he came away with the no-decision after the Brewers' bullpen gave up seven runs, including three in each of the ninth and 10th frames. The 24-year-old right-hander has yet to give up more than three earned runs in a start this season (four starts), and he leads the majors with 33 strikeouts (across 21.2 innings). Misiorowski is slated to start this weekend on the road against the Marlins.

Keller (1-1) took the loss Monday against the Nationals, allowing five runs on six hits and four walks with three strikeouts across four innings.

Keller had turned in three straight six-inning quality starts to begin the season, so Tuesday was his first hiccup of the 2026 campaign. The Nationals attacked Keller early and often in this one, as the first five batters of the game reached base to push across three runs. CJ Abrams then swatted a solo home run off Keller in the third frame. Keller generated just seven whiffs on 90 pitches and walked four batters for the second time in four starts. The right-hander now owns a 2.86 ERA and 14:9 K:BB across 22 innings. He's slated to face the Rays at home Sunday in his next start.

Cantillo did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Cardinals, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out four over six innings.

After opening the game with a strikeout, Cantillo gave up a solo homer to Ivan Herrera and JJ Wetherholt also took him deep in the third, but the left-hander settled in nicely from there. He finished his outing with three scoreless frames and gave Cleveland his first quality start of the season. Cantillo has quietly been one of the more consistent starters early this season, allowing two or fewer runs in all four of his outings while piling up 24 strikeouts across 20.2 innings. The 26-year-old will look to keep rolling in his next scheduled start at home against a dangerous Baltimore lineup that ranks near the top of the league in several offensive categories.
