Valdez (11-5) took the loss Sunday against the Red Sox, allowing six runs (four earned) on seven hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out three.

Valdez managed to hold Boston scoreless through his first three innings before things unraveled in the fourth, when the left-hander gave up six runs on four hits, a walk, a wild pitch and a balk. Valdez had held opponents to two runs or fewer in 10 of his last 11 outings prior to Sunday, posting a stellar 1.77 ERA in that span. His ERA still sits at an excellent 2.76 with a 1.12 WHIP and 144:45 K:BB across 22 starts (144 innings) this season. Valdez is currently scheduled to face the Yankees on the road his next time out.

Giolito (8-2) earned the win Sunday over the Astros, allowing one run on three hits and a walk over eight innings. He struck out four.

It was an excellent performance from Giolito, who went a season-high eight innings, with Houston's lone run coming on Carlos Correa's homer in the fourth. After a rocky start to his Red Sox tenure, Giolito has turned into one of Boston's more reliable starters, posting a 2.03 ERA over his last 10 outings (62 innings). Overall, the right-hander sports a 3.57 ERA with a 1.19 WHIP and 81:27 K:BB through 17 starts (95.2 innings) this season. Giolito is currently scheduled to face the Padres on the road his next time out.

Woods Richardson will make his next start Wednesday in Detroit while he recovers from a stomach bug, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

The 24-year-old was penciled in to start Sunday in Cleveland but will end up being pushed back a few days in the schedule so that he can move past the illness. Woods Richardson hasn't given up more than three earned runs in any of his past eight outings and has a 2.58 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 30:18 K:BB across 38.1 innings during that span.

The Yankees activated Gil (lat) from the 60-day injured list ahead of his start against the Marlins on Sunday.

The right-hander has been on the shelf all season while recovering from the lat strain he suffered during spring training, but he's ready to make his 2025 MLB debut Sunday in Miami. Gil threw 75 pitches over 4.1 innings during his final minor-league rehab outing Tuesday, so he's likely to have some minor workload limitations in his first few starts back with the Yankees. The 27-year-old was named the American League Rookie of the Year in 2024 after he posted a 3.50 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 171:77 K:BB across 151.2 innings.

The Astros acquired Rooney from the Marlins in exchange for cash considerations and added him to the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster ahead of Sunday's series finale in Boston.

Right-hander Luis Contreras was optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land to make room in the bullpen for Rooney, who has spent the last seven-plus seasons in the minors and will be making his MLB debut when he gets into a game. The 28-year-old southpaw posted a 2.45 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 45:23 K:BB in 33 innings over 33 appearances for Triple-A Jacksonville in 2025.

Hendricks (6-8) took the loss against the White Sox on Saturday after allowing one run on four hits and two walks across five innings. He struck out two.

The veteran right-hander surrendered a run on three hits and a walk during the second inning, but that was enough to saddle him with the loss as the Angels got shut out. Hendricks has been pitching well lately with a 3.47 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 31:8 K:BB in 46.2 innings across his past nine starts. A tough road matchup versus Detroit is on deck next weekend.

Civale (3-6) allowed two walks and one hit while striking out eight across 6.1 scoreless innings to earn the win Saturday against the Angels.

Civale retired the first nine batters he faced and was never particularly troubled by the Angels while also racking up 13 swinging strikes on 94 pitches. He has suddenly found his form, as this marked his third consecutive outing without allowing an earned run, a stretch of 17.1 innings. Civale has also maintained a 20:3 K:BB in that span while picking up a pair of wins.

Young is slated to start Sunday's game against the Cubs at Wrigley Field.

As expected, Young will be called upon to fill one of the openings in the rotation that was created Thursday after Zach Eflin (back) was placed on the injured list and Charlie Morton was traded to the Tigers. Young has made eight starts this season for Baltimore, going 0-5 with a 6.63 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and 34:16 K:BB in 36.2 innings. The rookie right-hander came through with his first career quality start his last time out however, striking out six over six frames Tuesday while allowing two earned runs on six hits and two walks.

Schlittler (1-2) took the loss against Miami on Saturday, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out six batters over five innings.

Schlittler was torched by fellow rookie Agustin Ramirez, as the Marlins' backstop tagged New York's starter for a pair of solo home runs. Schlittler was fine outside of those long balls, recording 10 whiffs over five frames, but the Yankees weren't able to put any runs on the board to support him. Schlittler has been decent but not spectacular since getting called up in early July, giving up two or three runs in each of his four starts but failing to go beyond 5.1 frames in any of those outings. He's tallied 21 punchouts across 19.2 innings but has also issued 11 walks. Though Luis Gil (lat) is scheduled to make his season debut Sunday, Schlittler got some rotation security when Marcus Stroman was released Friday.

Gordon (4-4) took the loss against Boston on Saturday, allowing six runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out six batters over four innings.

Gordon actually gave up fewer hits than his counterpart Walker Buehler, who surrendered nine knocks over 4.1 frames. However, the types of hits given up by the pitchers were dramatically different -- Gordon surrendered five extra-base knocks, including three homers, while all but one of the hits against Buehler were singles. Gordon has had a problem with the long ball throughout the campaign, giving up multiple homers in five of his 14 outings and posting a 1.87 HR/9, which is seventh worst among pitchers who have tossed at least 50 frames. He's managed to maintain a spot in the rotation despite a poor 5.27 ERA, but that may not be the case much longer, as Spencer Arrighetti (thumb), Cristian Javier (elbow) and Luis Garcia (elbow) are all nearing returns from the injured list.
