Royals @ Athletics
At Oakland Coliseum
RHP
0-2, 36.00 ERA, 1 SO
Kowar's MLB debut was shorter than expected. He only went two-thirds of an inning and was tagged for four runs on three hits and two walks. The touted prospect struggled to find his command, but his electric fastball reached 97 mph at times.
RHP
3-1, 2.51 ERA, 35 SO
Kaprielian is off to a nice start early in his big league career. The rookie has allowed two runs or fewer in four of his first five starts.

Angels @ D-backs
At Chase Field
RHP
4-2, 4.98 ERA, 52 SO
Cobb has pitched well over his last four starts, logging a 2.25 ERA and 26 strikeouts in 24 innings. He went seven innings in a win over the Mariners on Saturday, though he was hurt by a grand slam.
LHP
2-2, 3.61 ERA, 56 SO

Rockies @ Reds
At Great American Ball Park
RHP
4-6, 4.60 ERA, 80 SO

LHP
6-4, 2.92 ERA, 51 SO

Padres @ Mets
At Citi Field
RHP
4-6, 2.50 ERA, 96 SO
Musgrove has more or less maintained his excellent strikeout rate from last season in Pittsburgh, while cutting his walk rate in half. The results have been about as good as you'd expect: Musgrove is making a serious push for his first All-Star Game.
RHP
6-4, 2.32 ERA, 67 SO
Stroman has been the most consistent member of New York's rotation, going between six and seven innings in each of his last six starts and allowing three or fewer runs in five of them. He owns a 2.68 ERA over that stretch.

Mariners @ Guardians
At Progressive Field
LHP
3-3, 3.67 ERA, 75 SO
Kikuchi avoided a scare against the Angels on Saturday, when he had to exit early after taking a hard-hit grounder to his right knee. But he recovered nicely this week and won’t have to miss his scheduled start.
RHP
1-3, 6.38 ERA, 59 SO
McKenzie has already made two starts in the Majors since his demotion to Triple-A, but this time, he'll look to stay with the big league team for good. Two starts ago, he tossed five scoreless innings before fanning 10 batters in his next outing.

Orioles @ Rays
At Tropicana Field
RHP
2-7, 5.64 ERA, 62 SO

LHP
5-2, 3.38 ERA, 68 SO
Hill will take the mound for the first time in a week after working five scoreless innings on 59 pitches in the Rays' 3-0 win over the Rangers in Arlington. The 41-year-old lefty has a 0.99 ERA with a .469 opponents' OPS over his last eight starts.

Blue Jays @ Red Sox
At Fenway Park
LHP
7-3, 4.26 ERA, 75 SO
Matz has run hot and cold this season but feels like he's very close to more consistency. His stuff is certainly there, so Matz shouldn't need a major adjustment to make it all click.
RHP
6-2, 4.28 ERA, 80 SO
Pivetta labored in his last start, throwing 92 pitches in 4 2/3 innings and getting the hook from manager Alex Cora just one out shy of qualifying for a win. He is 3-0 with a 3.72 ERA in seven Fenway starts this season.

White Sox @ Tigers
At Comerica Park
RHP
5-2, 3.38 ERA, 85 SO

RHP
2-6, 5.16 ERA, 37 SO

Braves @ Marlins
At loanDepot park
LHP
3-4, 4.62 ERA, 49 SO
Fried has posted a 2.41 ERA in six starts since returning from the injured list. The lefty stumbled against the Nationals on June 1, but returned with six strong innings against the Dodgers on Sunday.
RHP
1-1, 2.25 ERA, 7 SO
Thompson wasn't used out of the bullpen Friday night against the Braves, so the Marlins are hoping to get at least three or four innings from him on Saturday. Thompson last appeared in a game on Monday against the Red Sox. He pitched three innings and allowed two runs.

Pirates @ Brewers
At American Family Field
RHP
0-4, 6.52 ERA, 23 SO
Kuhl reduced his swing-and-miss rate from his first start off the IL to his second, and it worked to his advantage. He drew a ton of weak contact from the Marlins on Sunday, resulting in an efficient six-inning outing.
RHP
3-4, 2.27 ERA, 102 SO
Burnes will put his perfect 3-0 career record against the Pirates on the line in the second game of the series. In 14 career appearances (though only two starts), Burnes has struck out 34 Pittsburgh hitters in 27 innings.

LHP
1-0, 0.00 ERA, 11 SO

RHP
0-0, 0.00 ERA, 2 SO

Cardinals @ Cubs
At Wrigley Field
RHP
4-4, 3.36 ERA, 42 SO
Gant will look to move past his toughest outing of the year, when he set a season-high in earned runs (seven) and tied a season-low in innings (four) vs. the Reds. Continuing to be of concern is the walks, with nine over his last three starts and an MLB-leading 37 overall.
RHP
8-4, 4.46 ERA, 58 SO
Hendricks beat the Cardinals on May 21 in St. Louis as part of his most recent seven-start stretch, in which he is 6-1 with a 3.13 ERA. On Sunday in San Francisco, the righty allowed three runs over 6 1/3 innings with five strikeouts and three walks.

Astros @ Twins
At Target Field
RHP
5-4, 2.98 ERA, 72 SO

RHP
7-2, 3.49 ERA, 81 SO
Berríos allowed four runs in six innings in his last start. He's yielded four or fewer runs in his past 23 outings, dating back to July 30, 2020. He last faced the Astros in the 2020 AL Wild Card Series, when he allowed one run in five frames in Game 2.

LHP
2-2, 2.91 ERA, 37 SO

RHP
6-5, 2.64 ERA, 111 SO
Bauer has 103 strikeouts in 13 starts this season, but punchouts have been tough to come by for the right-hander over his last three starts. Bauer has recorded 15 strikeouts in his last three outings, all while walking nine.
