Ryan Feltner SP | COL
Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Re-enters rotation
Feltner is scheduled to start Tuesday's home game against the Cardinals.
Since Feltner wasn't needed in relief over the weekend after being called up from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday, he'll step into the rotation to fill the vacancy created by Chad Kuhl's move to the 10-day injured list with a right hip flexor strain. Feltner has previously made nine appearances (eight starts) for Colorado this season, posting a 5.75 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 38:11 K:BB in 40.2 innings. Even though Feltner tentatively lines up for two starts this week, his poor ratios along with the fact that both of his projected outings will come at Coors Field makes it difficult to rely on him as a streaming option.

Tommy Henry SP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Tommy Henry: Sticking in rotation
Henry is listed as the Diamondbacks' scheduled starting pitcher for Tuesday's home game against the Pirates.
The rookie southpaw will remain in the rotation after proving serviceable, if unspectacular in his MLB debut last Wednesday in Cleveland, where he tossed five innings and gave up four runs on four hits and three walks while striking out three. The home matchup with the Pirates represents a nice spot for Henry to pick up his first MLB win, but a looming start this weekend at Coors Field could undo any good ratios he provides Tuesday.

Adam Wainwright SP | STL
Cardinals' Adam Wainwright: Shelled in no-decision
Wainwright did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing six runs on eight hits and four walks over four innings against the Yankees. He struck out five.
The St. Louis veteran was uncharacteristically wild and ineffective Sunday, surrendering four walks for just the third time this season and allowing nine other runners to reach base. Wainwright avoided the loss thanks to a strong offensive showing by the Cardinals, but the start ballooned his ERA from 3.11 to 3.42. He'll try to get back on track against the Brewers next weekend.

Aaron Nola SP | PHI
Phillies' Aaron Nola: Earns win in quality start
Nola (8-8) allowed one run on five hits and two walks over six innings Sunday, striking out five and picking up a win against Washington.
Aside from Cesar Hernandez's RBI single in the fifth inning, Nola kept the Nationals' lineup pretty quiet in Sunday's easy victory. It was his second straight start allowing just one run after giving up five runs in two of his previous three outings. The veteran righty is now sporting a 3.17 ERA with a stellar 157:20 K:BB through 22 starts. Nola is expected to face the Mets on the road next.

Tyler Anderson SP | LAA
Dodgers' Tyler Anderson: Impressive in 13th win
Anderson (13-1) allowed just two hits and one walk while striking out three over seven shutout innings to earn the win Sunday over the Padres.
Anderson has allowed multiple runs only once in his last five starts, and he's shut out opponents in three of those outings. The southpaw was efficient Sunday, requiring just 84 pitches (59 strikes) to get through seven frames. His last start Tuesday in San Francisco was shaky, but it doesn't look like it'll lead to a slump. Anderson has a 2.72 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 97:24 K:BB through 122.1 innings across 21 appearances (19 starts) this year. He's projected for a favorable road start in Kansas City next weekend.
-
Yu Darvish SP | SD
Padres' Yu Darvish: No help in loss
Darvish (10-5) took the loss Sunday versus the Dodgers. He allowed two runs on seven hits and struck out five in six innings.
Both runs against Darvish came in the third inning in the form of a Cody Bellinger solo home run and a Freddie Freeman RBI single. The Padres' offense did Darvish no favors, putting just four runners on base throughout the contest. The right-hander has turned in six straight quality starts, with Sunday's outing being his first loss in that span. He has a 3.28 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 132:26 K:BB through 134.1 innings across 21 starts this season. Darvish is lined up for an enticing road start against the Nationals next weekend.

Jose Urena SP | LAA
Rockies' Jose Urena: Turns in quality start
Urena allowed three runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out two across six innings in a no-decision versus the Diamondbacks on Sunday.
Urena completed six frames for the first time in four starts. All three runs against him came via the home run -- he gave up a two-run blast to Christian Walker in the first inning and a solo shot to Emmanuel Rivera in the sixth. Urena has given up four homers in 37 innings across seven outings with the Rockies, with three of those homers coming in road games. He's pitched to a 4.63 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 22:24 K:BB across 44.2 innings between the Rockies and the Brewers this year. The right-hander is lined up for another start versus the Diamondbacks next weekend, with that outing in Colorado's Coors Field.
-
Zach Davies SP | WAS
Diamondbacks' Zach Davies: Solid in no-decision
Davies allowed four hits and two walks while striking out three over five scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Rockies on Sunday.
Davies put in a solid performance in his second start back from a shoulder injury. He threw 49 of 80 pitches for strikes, but the Rockies weren't able to capitalize on his so-so command. It was a significant improvement after he allowed four runs in two innings in his previous start. The right-hander trimmed his ERA to 4.03 with a 1.22 WHIP and 66:30 K:BB through 87 innings across 17 starts this year. Davies is projected for a road rematch with the Rockies next week.

Graham Ashcraft RP | CIN
Reds' Graham Ashcraft: Allows one run in no-decision
Ashcraft did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing one run on four hits and two walks over 5.2 innings in a 4-2 win over the Brewers. He struck out three.
It took the Reds' rookie 102 pitches to get through 5.2 innings, but he emerged relatively unscathed as he surrendered just one run, on a home run off the bat of Willy Adames. Ashcfraft struggled in June with three starts in which he allowed more than three earned runs, but he has bounced back, allowing more than three runs in just one out of six starts since the beginning of July. He'll look to keep the momentum going against the Cubs next week.
-
Corbin Burnes SP | ARI
Brewers' Corbin Burnes: Dominant in no-decision
Burnes did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing one run on two hits and two walks over six innings against the Reds. He struck out nine.
After struggling in his last start against the Pirates, Burnes bounced back in electric fashion, with the only damage on the afternoon coming from a solo home run off the bat of Michael Papierski in the fifth inning. Despite the quality start, the Brewers' ace failed to record the win for the fifth time in seven starts since the beginning of July. Burnes will look to garner more run support and get back in the win column in his next scheduled start against the Cardinals.
