Anderson (5-2) allowed four runs on eight hits and a walk over six-plus innings Sunday, striking out five and earning a win over the Pirates.

Anderson gave up just one run through six frames but was charged with three more in the seventh inning after putting three Pirates on base while failing to record an out. It was the first time he completed six innings since June 25 in Colorado. Anderson has recorded a 5.68 ERA over his last nine starts, bumping his season number to 5.23 across 93 innings. His next start is projected to be in Toronto.

Manoah allowed three runs on three hits and four walks over 5.1 innings in Sunday's win over Seattle. He struck out six and did not factor in the decision.

Through five innings, the only damage against Manoah was Mike Ford's two-run shot in the second inning. Manoah has walked nine batters in his last two starts after posting an 8:0 K:BB in his MLB return July 7. His season ERA now sits at 6.10 with a 62:51 K:BB through 16 starts. Manoah's next outing is currently scheduled to be at home against the Angels.

Woo (1-3) allowed four runs on four hits and a walk over six-plus innings Sunday, striking out seven and taking a loss against Toronto.

Woo tossed three scoreless frames before coughing up a two-run shot to Vladimir Guerrero in the fourth inning. Woo's given up multiple homers in two straight games after being taken deep just once in his previous four outings. Following a stretch of six consecutive starts allowing two or fewer runs, he's been tagged with 10 runs over his last two appearances. While his ERA rose to 4.91, he's sporting a strong 54:13 K:BB across 44 career MLB innings. Woo's next start is projected to be in Arizona.

Medina allowed a run on two hits and three walks while striking out six over five innings in a no-decision versus the Astros on Sunday.

Medina turned in a solid performance, though he needed 93 pitches (59 strikes) to get through five frames. He limited the damage to a Yainer Diaz solo shot in the fifth inning. Medina has allowed just one run, five hits and four walks over 10.2 innings across his two starts since the All-Star break. He's trimmed his ERA to 5.50 with a 1.49 WHIP and 70:36 K:BB through 70.1 innings over 14 outings (10 starts) this season. The 24-year-old is projected to make his next start at Colorado.

Brown allowed two runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four over six innings in a no-decision versus the Athletics on Sunday.

Brown enjoyed his best start of July, though the quality of opponent likely played a role. He'd allowed a total of 12 runs and 24 hits over 12.1 innings across his three previous outings before getting back on track Sunday. The right-hander is now at a 4.19 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 122:35 K:BB through 105.1 innings over 19 starts this season. Brown's career high in innings came last year when he pitched 126.1 between Triple-A and the majors, though it's unclear if the Astros have any plans to reduce his workload over the final two months of this season. He's projected for a home start versus the Rays next weekend -- he previously tossed seven innings of two-hit ball against them April 26.

Perez (8-3) earned the win Sunday over the Dodgers, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks while striking out six over six innings.

Perez got off to a terrible start, allowing a grand slam to Max Muncy in the first inning. The veteran southpaw settled down after that, and the Rangers' offense took care of the rest to give Perez his first win of the month. He's now at a 4.91 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 68:38 K:BB through 102.2 innings over 19 starts this season. Perez is lined up to make his next start on the road in San Diego.

Lyles (1-12) took the loss Sunday, allowing five runs on nine hits and a walk over five innings against the Yankees. He struck out three.

The Yankees jumped on Lyles early, scoring four runs on five hits in the opening inning. While Lyles was able to settle in a bit, allowing just one run over his final four frames, the Royals couldn't overcome the early deficit, tagging Lyles with his league-high 12th loss. The 32-year-old right-hander has struggled to a 6.19 ERA with a 1.29 WHIP and 76:32 K:BB through 19 starts (107.2 innings) this season. Lyles is currently lined up to face the Twins at home in his next outing.

Ryu (elbow) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session in Los Angeles on Monday or Tuesday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

The upcoming side session will likely serve as a final check of Ryu's health before the Blue Jays bring him back from the 60-day injured list. After working six innings in his fourth and likely final rehab start Friday at Triple-A Buffalo, Ryu would be available to return from the IL on Wednesday against the Dodgers, but the Blue Jays are instead expected to save him for their series with the Angels next weekend. With Friday's game versus the Angels kicking off a stretch of 17 games in 17 days, Ryu could be part of a modified six-man Toronto rotation once he's activated.

Severino (2-4) earned the win Sunday, allowing three runs on eight hits over 5.2 innings against the Royals. He struck out five.

Severino's looked better since the All-Star break, allowing four runs over 11.2 innings in his last two starts after surrendering 14 earned runs in the previous two outings. Overall, it's been a shaky campaign for Severino since he returned to the Yankees rotation in late May. His ERA now sits at 6.46 with a 1.73 WHIP and 45:22 K:BB through 11 starts (54.1 innings). The 29-year-old right-hander is currently lined up to face the Orioles on the road in his next outing.

Cortes (shoulder) covered 2.1 innings in his rehab start Sunday for Double-A Somerset, striking out four while allowing one earned run on four hits and no walks.

Cortes' appearance was his first at any level since May 30 following a prolonged recovery from a left rotator cuff strain. The southpaw was lifted after 42 pitches Sunday, and manager Aaron Boone previously said that Cortes would likely require three rehab starts in total before being ready to return from the 60-day injured list. If he escapes his subsequent two rehab outings free of setbacks, Cortes could rejoin the Yankees rotation when he's first eligible for activation Aug. 3.
