Anderson allowed two runs on five hits with one walk and four strikeouts across four innings during a no-decision against the Pirates on Sunday.

The right-hander was on the hook for a loss until the Brewers tied the game in the seventh. Anderson avoided the defeat, but he's still just 1-2 with a 5.29 ERA in his last seven starts. Overall, he is 4-2 with a 4.32 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 67 strikeouts in 66.2 innings across 17 appearances, including 12 starts this season.

Musgrove allowed three runs on five hits with one walk and five strikeouts across six innings during a no-decision against the Brewers on Sunday.

The right-hander really only made two mistakes, but both cost him a chance at the win. Musgrove allowed two homers to Jesus Aguilar, which accounted for all three of the runs the Brewers scored against him. The second homer tied the game in the seventh, and Musgrove departed immediately afterward. He's still pitching well going into the All-Star break, though, having yielded just four runs in his last 22 frames (1.64 ERA). Musgrove is 6-7 with a 4.13 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 78 strikeouts in 93.2 innings this season.

Hendricks (7-7) took the loss Sunday against the White Sox, allowing two runs on four hits over four innings. He walked two and struck out six.

The major damage against Hendricks came on a two-run home run by Eloy Jimenez in the fourth inning. The righty only threw 86 pitches in this one, but seeing as he recently missed some time with right shoulder inflammation, the Cubs weren't willing to push him in the last game before the All-Star break. Hendricks finishes the first half with a 3.49 ERA and 85:19 K:BB across 95.1 innings.

Corbin tossed seven scoreless innings, striking out 11 and allowing five hits with no walks in a no-decision against the Royals on Sunday.

The 29-year-old has given up one run with 18 strikeouts and no walks in his last 14 frames over two appearances, but in both of those starts, he settled for no-decisions. On Sunday, the Nationals bullpen blew the lead, coughing up Corbin's chance at a win, during the eighth. Corbin is still pitching well, though, as he's posted a 0.96 ERA with 35 strikeouts in his last four outings. Overall, he is 7-5 with a 3.34 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 129 strikeouts in 113.1 innings this season.

Mikolas (5-9) took the loss Saturday, allowing five runs (four earned) on six hits over four innings while striking out six as the Cardinals dropped an 8-4 decision to the Giants.

A pinch-hit grand slam by Austin Slater in the fourth inning was the decisive blow, and with Mikolas due up second the next inning and the Cards in a 5-1 hole, his night ended after only 72 pitches (48 strikes). The right-hander will take a 4.53 ERA and 75:17 K:BB through 99.1 innings into the All-Star break.

Maeda (7-5) took the loss Saturday, giving up three runs on four hits and a walk over 7.2 innings while striking out six as the Dodgers were downed 3-1 by the Padres.

The right-hander was locked in a scoreless pitcher's duel with rookie Chris Paddack through six innings, but Maeda then served up homers to Hunter Renfroe in the seventh and Manuel Margot in the eighth. Maeda has now lost three straight decisions, with his last win coming May 31, and he'll carry a 3.76 ERA and 94:31 K:BB through 95.2 innings into the All-Star break.

Paddack didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Dodgers, allowing three hits and a walk over 5.2 scoreless innings while striking out six.

It was another impressive performance from the rookie, who threw 71 of 96 pitches for strikes, but unfortunately for Paddack, neither team could get on the board until the seventh inning. He'll take a 2.84 ERA and 87:18 K:BB through 82.1 innings into the All-Star break.

Syndergaard (6-4) picked up the win Saturday, giving up four runs on seven hits and three walks over five innings while striking out three in a 6-5 victory over the Phillies.

The right-hander wasn't sharp, throwing only 53 of 87 pitches for strikes and managing an un-Thorlike eight swinging strikes, but he got enough run support to win his third straight decision. Syndergaard will take a 4.68 ERA and 101:30 K:BB through 105.2 innings into the All-Star break.

Greinke will not participate in Tuesday's All-Star Game due to a personal matter, Richard Morin of the Arizona Republic reports.

Manager Torey Lovullo said Greinke's absence will likely shake up his rotation for the road series against St. Louis that begins Friday but would not divulge the order of the rotation. Greinke was tentatively expected to start the series opener.

Gray (9-6) allowed three runs on eight hits and two walks over five innings in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Diamondbacks. He struck out four and took the loss.

Gray needed 97 pitches (64 strikes) to get through his five-plus innings, exiting after allowing a tie-breaking two-run homer to Jake Lamb. Gray now owns a 3.92 ERA and 1.38 WHIP with 115 strikeouts over 108 innings this season, but the loss snapped a four-start winning streak for the right-hander. Gray is projected to start the Rockies' first game back from the All-Star break, at home versus Cincinnati on Friday.
