Hearn (6-4) allowed three earned runs on five hits while striking out two across six innings, earning the win over the Athletics on Sunday.

Hearn surrendered home runs to Yan Gomes and Matt Olson, accounting for three runs against him. He still cashed in a quality start to earn his fourth win in a row. Despite the recent success, he is having trouble with the long ball, giving up seven home runs in that four-game stretch. The 26-year-old has a 3.99 ERA and 1.24 WHIP with 83 strikeouts in 90.1 innings this season.

Green (7-7) took the loss in Sunday's 7-6 defeat at the hands of the Mets, allowing one run on one hit with one strikeout in one inning.

Green was brought in to pitch the eighth inning of a 6-6 game and served up Francisco Lindor's third home run of the game to fall in line for the loss. The defeat arrives on the heels of a blown save Saturday and the righty has now permitted one run apiece in each of his last three appearances, raising his ERA from 3.04 to 3.28 in the process.

Diaz saved Sunday's 7-6 triumph over the Yankees, allowing a hit and a walk with two strikeouts in the ninth inning.

After recording two blown saves and two losses in his last three appearances, Diaz finally came through Sunday, though the outing was far from seamless. The hard-throwing righty put two Yankees on with one out but got Brett Gardner looking and induced a Giancarlo Stanton pop out to end the game and earn his 29th save. Diaz has now surrendered four runs in four September innings across five appearances.

Misiewicz (4-5) allowed three earned runs on four hits while failing to record an out, taking the loss to the Diamondbacks on Sunday.

Misiewicz entered in the sixth inning of a tie game. He surrendered a hit to all four batters he faced before being pulled. It was the second time in his last eight appearances he allowed three runs without recording an out. The 26-year-old has a 4.35 ERA and 1.35 WHIP with 48 punchouts in 49.2 innings this season.

Hudson (elbow) recorded a win in Double-A Springfield's victory over Arkansas on Sunday, allowing an earned run on two hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out three.

Hudson worked up to 57 pitches, 36 of which he got into the strike zone. The right-hander has yet to encounter a hiccup in his rehab process as he continues to defy the odds and leave himself poised for a return before the end of the regular season. While the Cardinals have already said Hudson will fill a relief role if he is activated, any kind of action at the big-league level in 2021 would be of benefit in getting the 26-year-old physically and mentally prepared to rejoin the rotation in 2022.

Gilbert (2-2) allowed two earned runs on two hits and one walk while striking out two across 5.1 innings, earning the win over the Mariners on Sunday.

Gilbert allowed solo home runs to Mitch Haniger and Dylan Moore, but he did not allow any other runs. It was his first win since his no-hitter Aug. 14. The 27-year-old has a 3.15 ERA and 1.03 WHIP with 25 punchouts in 40 innings. His next start is scheduled for Saturday in Houston.

Wittgren allowed a hit in a scoreless inning during Sunday's 11-1 loss to Milwaukee.

His scoreless outing Sunday snapped a run of three appearances in which he'd allowed runs. Wittgren has pitched to a 4.72 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 57:13 K:BB across 55.1 innings this year. The right-hander has added a save, nine holds and a 2-7 record, but he's typically seen more low-leverage work in recent weeks.

Young has allowed four runs in his last five innings.

In his last six appearances, Young has alternated between giving up runs and scoreless efforts. He's given up nine hits and five walks while striking out just two in the aforementioned stretch. For the year, the southpaw has a 6.58 ERA, 1.77 WHIP and 43:27 K:BB across 52 innings between Cleveland and Arizona, almost exclusively as a low-leverage reliever.

Perez was recalled from Triple-A Columbus on Saturday. He appeared in Sunday's 11-1 loss to Milwaukee, allowing a hit and striking out one in two scoreless innings.

Perez previously made one appearance for Cleveland in August. The 24-year-old will look to stay around with the big club longer this time, although he'll likely be limited to a multi-inning relief role. Daniel Johnson was sent down in a corresponding move.

Smith allowed a hit and a walk in a scoreless ninth inning Sunday, earning a save over the Marlins.

Smith allowed leadoff triple to Jesus Sanchez and found himself in a first-and-third jam with just one out. He wiggled out of the threat and has now converted 32-of-37 save chances this season, including nine of his last 10. The veteran closer lowered his ERA to 3.66 through 59 frames.
