Kirby (7-7) allowed two runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out seven over eight innings to earn the win over the Angels on Monday.

Kirby allowed both runs within the first three innings before settling in for a strong performance. He threw 70 of 100 pitches for strikes in his fourth straight quality start. In that span, he's allowed 10 runs (nine earned) over 26 innings with a 27:6 K:BB. For the season, Kirby has a 3.81 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 91:24 K:BB through 104 innings over 17 starts.

Matthews (4-5) earned the win over Houston on Monday, allowing one run on four hits and one walk while striking out seven batters over seven innings.

Matthews gave up just one extra-base hit Monday, a fifth-inning solo homer by Cam Smith. That was also the only run the righty-handed hurler allowed en route to his third straight quality start. Matthews matched his season high with seven punchouts and needed a modest 89 pitches (59 strikes) to cover seven frames, tying his longest outing of the campaign. He's had two seven-run clunkers this season but has given up three or fewer runs in each of his other seven starts, putting him at a decent 4.15 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 46:12 K:BB through 56.1 innings overall.

Suarez (4-3) earned the win Monday, allowing three runs on five hits and a walk over six innings in a 6-3 win over the Nationals. He struck out eight.

Suarez surrendered a leadoff homer to James Wood but settled in over the middle innings before allowing a two-run double to CJ Abrams in the sixth frame, though the southpaw still was credited with a quality start and the win. Monday capped off a stellar June, during which Suarez posted a 2.10 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 35:7 K:BB across 30 innings (five starts). The 30-year-old will take a 2.94 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 92:26 K:BB across 104 innings (18 starts) into his next outing, tentatively scheduled for Sunday against the Angels.

Weathers (3-6) took the loss Monday against the Tigers, allowing five runs (two earned) on seven hits and one walk in 1.2 innings. He struck out three.

Monday was a mess from the get-go for Weathers, who couldn't even complete two frames amid his shortest outing of the year. Three earned runs were kept off the 26-year-old southpaw's ledger due to a throwing error by Jose Caballero in the second inning, but the hurler was pulled at 55 pitches after allowing three consecutive baserunners. Weathers will be aiming to put Monday's start in the rear-view mirror over the weekend against the Twins, holding a 4.08 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 98:26 K:BB over 88.1 innings.

Baz allowed two runs on four hits and four walks while recording six strikeouts over seven innings Monday against the White Sox. He didn't factor into the decision.

Baz managed to bounce back after surrendering five runs in a miserable outing against the Angels. He was wild at times Monday, as evidenced by four walks, but he received assistance from his fielders and gave Baltimore a chance to win, exiting with the score tied at two. Baz has been solid of late, holding the opposition to two runs or fewer in six of his last eight starts while striking out 45 in 49 frames over this stretch.

Burke didn't factor into the decision Monday against the Orioles after allowing two runs on four hits and three walks while striking out eight over 5.1 innings.

Burke continued his stretch of strong outings and has now surrendered two runs or fewer in each of his previous three appearances. He gave up one run in the first inning and one in the third, but he was otherwise able to avoid trouble despite issuing three free passes. Burke also tied his season high in strikeouts Monday and has racked up 22 punchouts in his last 19 innings of work.

Mize (3-5) earned the win Monday against the Yankees, allowing no runs on one hit and no walks in seven innings. He struck out 10.

After giving up a season-worst eight hits his last time out against the Yankees, Mize bounced back in a huge way during Monday's rematch. The 29-year-old right-hander fanned a season-high 10 in his longest outing of the year, also surrendering a season-low one hit on the evening. Mize will be looking to build on Monday's showing this weekend in Texas, where he'll take an outstanding 2.63 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 68:14 K:BB across 65 innings.

Yesavage (4-3) earned the win Monday against the Mets, allowing one run on three hits and no walks in 6.2 innings. He struck out three.

Yesavage had a hard time finding the zone, matching a season low in punchouts while tossing just 57 of his 94 offerings for strikes, but he hung in there for a strong outing overall. The 22-year-old right-hander remains incredibly difficult to hit, giving up fewer than six knocks in each of his first 12 starts for a .185 opponent batting average. Yesavage is slated to finish a two-start week this weekend in Seattle, where he'll bring a 3.34 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 61:30 K:BB over 67.1 innings.

Tiger (elbow) has allowed four earned runs on six hits and no walks while striking out six batters over 3.2 innings in two appearances for High-A Hub City since being reinstated from the 60-day injured list June 21.

Tiger turned in a 2.70 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 14:2 K:BB across 6.2 frames over four rehab appearances in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League before being cleared to make his 2026 debut for Hub City. The right-hander missed the entire 2025 season after undergoing an internal brace procedure on his right elbow in September 2024.

Gomez (shoulder) was activated from the 7-day injured list June 20.

Gomez missed nearly two months of action while on the mend from a right shoulder strain. He's made two appearances for Triple-A Columbus since being activated, surrendering two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out 14 over eight innings.
