RHP
0-2, 4.58 ERA, 29 SO

Tigers @ Royals
At Kauffman Stadium
LHP
4-7, 4.36 ERA, 81 SO
Skubal is unbeaten in his last three starts after racking up 25 strikeouts in 17 innings against the White Sox and Yankees. His slider has become an increasingly effective swing-and-miss pitch, coupled with more consistent command of his fastball.
RHP
3-5, 4.76 ERA, 71 SO
Singer was solid on Friday against the A's, with the fourth inning as the exception. He allowed back-to-back doubles and a homer to give the A's a 3-0 lead in their eventual 4-3 win. But Singer did strike out seven in six innings, with just one walk allowed.

At Guaranteed Rate Field
LHP
4-3, 4.14 ERA, 64 SO
Yarbrough is on a two-start winning streak this month, having allowed only two earned runs on nine hits with no walks and 12 strikeouts in 15 innings his last two times out. The left-hander has a 2.56 ERA in seven outings since the start of May.
RHP
5-5, 3.86 ERA, 103 SO
Giolito's offspeed stuff was on point in his last start against the Tigers on Friday, a good sign as he continues to work on fine-tuning his repertoire. The righty has a 1.31 ERA in three career starts against Tampa Bay.

Reds @ Brewers
At American Family Field
RHP
7-2, 3.39 ERA, 90 SO

RHP
6-2, 2.28 ERA, 104 SO

Padres @ Rockies
At Coors Field
LHP
2-3, 5.72 ERA, 85 SO
Snell couldn't record an out in the fifth inning of his last outing, in which he allowed three earned runs and three walks across four-plus innings. After the game, Snell said he was more comfortable on the mound and that his best starts are yet to come.
LHP
0-2, 9.58 ERA, 12 SO
Freeland's first four starts since his return from a left shoulder strain have been a struggle, as he's posted a 9.00 ERA. The problem is simple -- poor location. He tied a club record by giving up five homers on Friday at Cincinnati.

At Nationals Park
RHP
0-1, 4.26 ERA, 17 SO

1-2, 2.28 ERA, 21 SO

Yankees @ Blue Jays
At Sahlen Field
in Buffalo, NY
RHP
8-3, 2.31 ERA, 117 SO
Amid conversation about spin rate and "sticky stuff," Cole fired a solid effort on June 9 at Minnesota, striking out nine while permitting two solo homers over six innings. He will face Toronto for the third time this season.
RHP
2-4, 4.64 ERA, 58 SO
Stripling pitched better than his line suggests last time out, with four runs over 5 2/3 innings on Friday, and he has been in the middle of an impressive turnaround after struggles earlier in the season.

Cubs @ Mets
At Citi Field
RHP
0-1, 11.25 ERA, 3 SO
Stock will make his Cubs debut on Wednesday. He was 0-3 with a 4.12 ERA in nine games for Triple-A Iowa this season, but the 31-year-old has Major League experience with 52 games for the Padres and Red Sox from 2018-'20.
RHP
6-2, 0.54 ERA, 111 SO
deGrom exited his start on Friday against the Padres after only 80 pitches due to right flexor tendinitis, but the Mets expect him to be ready in time for his next one against the Cubs. They will likely monitor his workload due to the injury scare.

Orioles @ Guardians
At Progressive Field
LHP
0-2, 5.76 ERA, 27 SO
Akin is making the most of his return to the rotation, pitching to a 2.63 ERA in three starts this season. The rookie southpaw is still looking to improve on his efficiency and pitching deeper into games.
RHP
10-2, 3.48 ERA, 71 SO
Civale will look to build on the momentum he established last time out. After a leadoff single, a hit batter and a walk in the first inning, he was nearly perfect, retiring 22 consecutive batters to end his night after eight scoreless frames.

At Truist Park
RHP
4-4, 4.36 ERA, 64 SO
Richards has faced the Braves only twice in his career, although one of those times came three weeks ago, when he allowed three runs over 5 2/3 innings in a loss. After going 4-0 in five starts from April 27 through May 19, he hasn't won in the four outings since.
RHP
4-3, 3.58 ERA, 74 SO

Rangers @ Astros
At Minute Maid Park
RHP
2-5, 5.68 ERA, 60 SO

RHP

At Oracle Park
RHP
2-7, 5.40 ERA, 72 SO

Twins @ Mariners
At T-Mobile Park
RHP
0-0, 3.71 ERA, 21 SO
Considering Ober had a 100-to-nine K-BB ratio in his last Minor League season in 2019, it's no surprise that he has 15 strikeouts and two walks through three MLB outings. He's impressed the Twins enough that he'll stay in the rotation for another turn.
LHP
5-6, 5.65 ERA, 49 SO
Sheffield struggled mightily with diminished velocity and hard contact from the Tigers his last time out, lasting a season-low four innings. The lefty has been laboring far more this season after a stellar rookie campaign in 2020.

Phillies @ Dodgers
At Dodger Stadium
RHP
5-3, 2.15 ERA, 118 SO

LHP
8-6, 3.36 ERA, 104 SO
