Lorenzen (2-9) allowed four runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out five over 5.1 innings to take the loss versus the Pirates on Sunday.

Lorenzen pitched well against the Cubs over his last two starts, allowing a total of two runs over 10 innings, but he couldn't do the same against a different NL Central foe. He's now allowed at least four runs in eight of his 17 appearances (16 starts) this season, including two of four in June. For the season, the right-hander has a 7.11 ERA, 1.83 WHIP and 65:26 K:BB through 17 innings. Lorenzen's next start is projected to come on the road in Minnesota.

Cabrera allowed three hits and a hit batsman while striking out three and walking none over five-plus scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Twins on Sunday.

Cabrera threw 42 of 62 pitches for strikes in his major-league debut. He has averaged just over five innings a start in the minors this season (61 innings over 12 outings), so he may need some time to stretch out if he's going to be part of Arizona's rotation for a while. The opportunity is there if he pitches well, as Ryne Nelson (elbow) and Michael Soroka (glute) are both on the injured list. Cabrera pitched well enough to get at least one more look, tentatively scheduled to be on the road versus the Rays.

Giolito (2-3) took the loss Sunday against Texas, allowing four runs on seven hits and two walks in four innings. He struck out two.

Working behind opener Wandy Peralta on Sunday, Giolito turned in one of his worst outings of the season. The 31-year-old right-hander matched a season worst in both hits and runs allowed, and he's now walked multiple batters in all but one of his first seven appearances on the year. Giolito, who has a 5.16 ERA, 1.85 WHIP and an alarming 18:23 K:BB over 29.2 innings, may not hold much fantasy appeal against a vaunted Dodgers lineup his next time out.

Webb (4-5) took the loss Sunday against the Marlins, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk while striking out five over eight innings.

Webb turned in another workhorse performance, finishing an eight-inning complete game despite being tagged with the loss. The right-hander surrendered a solo homer to Kyle Stowers in the second inning that put San Francisco in an early hole, but he otherwise kept Miami's offense in check. However, the Giants couldn't generate much offense against a Marlins bullpen game, leaving Webb with little margin for error. He has now worked at least seven innings in every start this month and has completed eight frames in each of his last three outings. Webb owns a 3.35 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 70:20 K:BB across 83.1 innings on the season. He'll look to keep rolling in his next scheduled start at home against Atlanta.

Elder (5-5) took the loss Sunday against the Brewers, allowing eight runs on 12 hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out six.

All of the runs against Elder came in the second inning Sunday -- five of them came with two outs, when the Brewers strung together four hits, capped by a William Contreras three-run homer. Elder has now dropped back-to-back starts, allowing 14 runs across 10 innings in that span. His ERA now sits at 3.71 with a 1.21 WHIP and 79:29 K:BB across 16 starts (94.2 innings) this season. Elder will look to get back on track his next time out, tentatively scheduled to come next weekend on the road against the Giants.

Gasser (1-3) earned the win Sunday over Atlanta, allowing two runs on four hits and a walk across six innings. He struck out seven.

Gasser was sharp Sunday en route to his first win and quality start this season. After struggling to a 6.38 ERA across 18.1 innings in his first four outings this year, Gasser has allowed just two runs over 12.2 innings in his last two starts. However, the left-hander's role in the short term is uncertain with Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) slated to return to the Milwaukee rotation Monday against Cincinnati.

Jones (elbow) underwent imaging, which came back negative, Sunday in Colorado.

Jones was struck in the right elbow by a line drive and exited Sunday's contest against the Rockies following the conclusion of the third inning. The team had the 24-year-old undergo initial imaging in Colorado, and at the moment, it appears as if he has avoided a significant injury. Jones is expected to be reexamined by the medical staff in Pittsburgh on Monday, and he can be considered day-to-day for the time being.

Burns (9-1) earned the win Sunday over the Yankees, allowing a run on five hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out seven.

Burns turned in another strong outing Sunday, with New York's lone run coming on Ben Rice's home run in the third inning. The 23-year-old Burns has now held opponents to two runs or fewer while going at least five innings in each of his last 12 starts -- he's gone 8-0 with a 2.05 ERA across 70.1 innings in that span. Burns' ERA is down to 2.00 through 15 starts (85.2 innings) this season with a 1.05 WHIP and 102:29 K:BB. He'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, currently lined up to come on the road against the Pirates next weekend.

Jones was lifted from his start Sunday against the Rockies after being struck in the right elbow by an 87.9-mph line drive off the bat of TJ Rumfield, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

The Pirates were able to record an inning-ending out on the play in question, resulting in Jones finishing his day with three strikeouts and one run allowed on one hit and two walks across three frames. Jones was making his fifth start of the season for Pittsburgh on Sunday after completing his recovery from May 2025 UCL repair surgery on his right elbow. While it's less than ideal that the same elbow was struck by a comebacker, Jones should be able to steer clear of an extended absence so long as he was able to avoid a fracture. He's currently being evaluated by the Pirates' medical staff, and the team should have an update on his status later Sunday.

The Diamondbacks recalled Drake from Triple-A Reno on Sunday.

After being added to the 40-man roster during the offseason, Drake is now on the cusp of making his major-league debut. The left-hander has been working as a starter at Reno but has struggled to a 7.83 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 48:26 K:BB across 54 innings this year.
