Anderson didn't factor into the decision in Monday's game between the Giants and the Angels. He allowed five runs on eight hits and one walk while fanning eight across five innings.

Anderson notched a season-high mark in strikeouts that came out of nowhere, as he had racked up 10 total punchouts in his previous four starts. That said, it did not matter much as the Angels did damage when they put bat to ball. Anderson has allowed nine earned runs and 13 hits in his last 10 innings across his past two starts, and that doesn't bode well for his upcoming start scheduled for Aug. 22 at home against Arizona.

Ynoa gave up two hits and struck out four over three scoreless innings of relief during Monday's 7-6 win over the Nationals.

The right-hander was the only one of the four pitchers Atlanta used not to give up a run. Ynoa threw 48 pitches (29 strikes), which could leave him unavailable to pitch for a few days. With Atlanta not scheduled to need a fifth starter again until September, Ynoa should continue to work in long relief over the next couple weeks.

Toussaint didn't factor into the decision in Monday's 7-6 win over the Nationals, giving up four runs on two hits and six walks over three innings. He struck out four.

His control issues were exacerbated by the fact that both hits he gave up left the yard, but the damage could have been a lot worse, and Toussaint was taken off the hook for the loss by a ninth-inning rally. The erratic right-hander now has a 7.97 ERA and 27:11 K:BB through 20.1 innings, and he'll try to turn things around in his next outing Saturday, at home against the Phillies.

Gallen allowed one run on three hits and one walk while striking out eight over seven innings in a no-decision against the Athletics on Monday.

Gallen, who threw 60 strikes among his 97 pitches, tossed his fourth consecutive quality start. He's yet to allow more than two runs in any of his five starts, but the right-hander is still seeking his first win. The next opportunity to get that first "W" is Saturday on the road in San Francisco.

Stripling gave up seven runs (six earned) on eight hits and struck out two in three innings versus the Mariners on Monday. He did not factor in the decision.

Stripling was spotted a four-run lead after two innings, but he gave it all back after allowing three homers in the third. The 30-year-old has struggled to pitch deep into games his last two times out, lasting just 7.2 innings combined in that span. The right-hander has a 5.61 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 22 strikeouts in 25.2 innings this season. Stripling is expected to make his next start Sunday versus the Rockies.

Davies (3-2) allowed three runs on three hits and two walks over five innings Monday, striking out six and earning the win over Texas.

San Diego's offense exploded for 14 runs Monday, so Davies had plenty of breathing room. He allowed just two runs through five innings but left after allowing a leadoff single in the sixth to Danny Santana, who came around to score and charge Davies with his third run. The 27-year-old will carry a 3.25 ERA into Sunday's home start against Houston.

Freeland (2-1) allowed two runs on seven hits and struck out five over six innings, but took the loss Monday versus the Astros.

Freeland gave up a two-run double to Carlos Correa in a tough first inning, and that was enough to stick the southpaw with his first loss this year. Through 31.2 innings, Freeland has a 2.56 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 18 strikeouts. Monday was his first appearance where he didn't walk a batter. He'll hope for more run support when he faces the Dodgers on Saturday.

Mejia will likely start Tuesday's game against the Mets, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

The ballclub has yet to recall Mejia from the alternate training site, but he appears to be the favorite to toe the rubber Tuesday following a pair of moves Monday evening. Mejia has appeared in one game this season, surrendering one run on two hits and two walks while fanning six over 2.1 innings Aug. 7 against the Mets.

Hendricks (3-2) took the loss in Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader against the Cardinals after allowing three runs on three hits and a walk while striking out five over 6.1 innings.

Hendricks surrendered a solo blast in the third inning, and he was touched up for two more runs in the top of the seventh following a Brad Miller double with the bases loaded. Rowan Wick gave up the double, but Hendricks was responsible for the two runs that crossed the plate. The veteran right-hander sits with a 3.31 ERA and 0.92 WHIP with a 25:3 K:BB across 32.2 frames.

Kim allowed one run on three hits and three walks while striking out one over 3.2 innings during Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader against the Cubs. He didn't factor into the decision.

Despite plenty of traffic on the basepaths, Kim made it through the first three innings unscathed before giving up a solo home run to Ian Happ in the bottom of the fourth inning. The Cardinals would ultimately take the first game of the doubleheader, 3-1. Kim will continue to be an option for starts moving forward, though his role certainly isn't set in stone at this time.
