Gibson allowed five runs on six hits and two walks over 3.1 innings in Sunday's win over the Angels. He struck out three and did not factor in the decision.

Gibson got off to a good start Sunday, yielding just two baserunners through three shutout innings before the wheels fell off in the fourth. The first five batters of the fourth frame reached base against Gibson and he gave up five runs while finally being lifted from the contest. The 6-foot-6 righty had allowed two or fewer runs in six of his previous seven contests entering Sunday. Gibson will carry a 4.40 ERA into his projected home start against Arizona next week.

Wainwright registered a no-decision during Sunday's 5-3 win against the Cubs, allowing two runs on nine hits and two walks in seven innings. He failed to record a strikeout.

Wainwright put multiple runners on in a few innings but was able to limit the damage to one run apiece in the first and fourth innings and keep the game close. The 40-year-old fired 64 of 102 pitches for strikes with 10 of the swinging variety, though he failed to record a strikeout after notching a season-high 10 during his previous start. Wainwright lowered his ERA to 2.73 and is scheduled to face off against Cincinnati next weekend.

Gallen (4-1) yielded two runs on five hits and three walks over six innings Sunday, striking out four and taking a loss against the Pirates.

Gallen was locked in a scoreless duel with Zach Thompson until he coughed up a solo homer to Cal Mitchell in the fifth inning. He then gave up another run on Diego Castillo's sacrifice fly in the sixth. Gallen has allowed two or fewer runs in nine of his 10 outings this season, registering a 2.40 ERA and a 53:15 K:BB through 56.1 frames. He's projected to take the mound in Philadelphia next week.

Morton (4-3) allowed four runs on six hits and three walks with eight strikeouts in five innings, earning the win over the Rockies on Sunday.

Morton had the most trouble with Brendan Rodgers, who had a two-run double and a run in the first inning and a solo home run in the fifth. This was Morton's third straight start with four runs allowed, and he hasn't gone past five innings in any of those games. For the season, the veteran right-hander owns a 5.63 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 54:25 K:BB in 54.1 innings across 11 starts. He's projected for an easier matchup at home versus the Pirates next weekend.

Urias registered a no-decision during Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Mets, allowing one run on three hits and three walks with four strikeouts in 5.1 innings.

Urias escaped a bases-loaded jam in the second inning and limited the damage to a Starling Marte solo shot in the third in going between five and six innings for the 10th time in 11 starts. Other than two poor outings, the 25-year-old has surrendered no more than three runs in any start, though a 4.51 FIP indicates a 2.78 ERA could increase. He's scheduled to pitch again next weekend against San Francisco.

Castillo (2-3) took the loss Sunday against Washington, allowing five runs (three earned) on six hits and four walks while striking out six in 6.1 innings.

Castillo gave up two runs in the first inning on two doubles and a walk. In the fourth, two unearned runs scored thanks to two errors in the field. The final run against Castillo scored with two outs in the sixth on a solo homer by Maikel Franco. The 29-year-old has allowed three or fewer earned runs in each of his six starts this season. After a subpar 2021, the righty has a 3.55 ERA and 34:12 K:BB over 33 innings this season. His next start will likely be at the end of next week in St. Louis.

Williams didn't factor into the decision during Sunday's 5-4 win against the Dodgers, allowing two runs on six hits with five strikeouts in five innings.

Williams calmed down after surrendering a two-run Trea Turner home run in the first inning to keep Los Angeles off the board while excelling with five whiffs in five innings. The 30-year-old has now limited the damage to two runs or fewer in five of his last six appearances, dropping his ERA from 8.59 to 3.58. Williams is scheduled to pitch again next weekend against the Angels.

Corbin (2-8) earned the victory Sunday in Cincinnati, striking out five in six innings while allowing three runs on nine hits.

After a tumultuous first inning during which Corbin allowed three runs on five hits, he settled down and held the Reds' lineup scoreless over the next five frames. It was just the third time in 12 starts that the lefty pitched at least six innings and allowed three or fewer runs. For the season, he has a 6.71 ERA and 1.76 WHIP, and opponents are hitting .318 against him in a season during which the league batting average is .240. His next start will likely be next weekend against Milwaukee.

Manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Kershaw's (pelvis) next start will be with the Dodgers, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Kershaw made a rehab start at Single-A Rancho Cucamonga on Sunday and allowed a run on three hits and a walk while striking out seven in four innings. He threw just 59 pitches during the start, so it's possible he's on a pitch count once he rejoins the Dodgers' rotation. It seems likely that Kershaw will be reinstated from the injured list to start June 12 on the road against the Giants.

Feltner was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.

Feltner's record dropped to 1-2 following Sunday's start against Atlanta, as he allowed six runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out three in three innings. However, the right-hander posted a 2.25 ERA and 0.83 WHIP over 12 innings in his two starts prior to Sunday's outing, so he should still be in the mix to start next week when the Rockies need a sixth starter during Saturday's doubleheader in San Diego.
