Jones (2-4) took the loss Sunday against the Mets, allowing eight runs on six hits and three walks over three innings. He struck out three.

It was a rough outing for the 25-year-old Jones, who's now lost three straight starts while giving up 11 runs in just seven innings across his last two outings. Jones' ERA is up to 5.03 through 13 starts (59 innings) this season with a 1.20 WHIP and 65:19 K:BB. He'll look to turn things around his next time out, currently lined up for next week at home against the Red Sox.

Misiorowski took a no-decision against the Twins on Sunday, allowing three runs on four hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out nine.

The All-Star right-hander boasted his usual electrifying stuff, generating 22 whiffs in a quality start. Misiorowski also recorded his 200th strikeout of the season in only 129.1 innings to become the second-fastest pitcher in MLB history to reach 200 punchouts behind only Spencer Strider, who needed only 123.1 frames to attain that figure in 2023 for Atlanta, per Casey Drottar of MLB.com. Misiorowski is set to bring a 1.76 ERA, 0.74 WHIP and 204:30 K:BB over 133 innings into a tough road assignment against the Dodgers.

Singer (5-11) took the loss Sunday against the Nationals, allowing three runs on eight hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out three.

While Singer came away with a loss Sunday, the right-hander did log his fifth quality start in his last six outings. He's posted a 3.86 ERA across 37.1 innings in that span. Overall, Singer sports a 4.66 ERA with a 1.43 WHIP and 100:40 K:BB across 23 starts (119.2 innings) this season. He's currently in line to face the Marlins at home his next time out.

Littell agreed to a one-year contract with the Diamondbacks on Sunday, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

The veteran right-hander was let go by the Nationals on Friday after posting a 4.97 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 70:35 K:BB across 112.1 innings on the season. Arizona's rotation depth has been thinned out in recent weeks, but with Michael Soroka (glute) poised to come off the injured list Monday, the Diamondbacks may not have a spot available for Littell. With that in mind, Littell could have to settle for a long-relief role to begin his time in Arizona.

Harrison (calves) is listed as the Brewers' probable starting pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Padres, Hunter Baumgardt of Fox Sports 920 Milwaukee reports.

The left-hander departed his previous start Wednesday versus Pittsburgh after striking out 10 across five scoreless frames due to bilateral calf cramps, but he's ready to take his next turn through the rotation. That start was Harrison's first following a month-long absence due to forearm issues, so the club may be cautious with his workload for his next couple of outings.

The Phillies recalled Rangel from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday.

Rangel will provide the Phillies with some extra bullpen coverage in Sunday's series finale versus the Blue Jays, but if he isn't needed for that contest, he could be an option to make a spot start. Andrew Painter (hamstring) and Aaron Nola (knee) each exited their most recent starts early, though both are tentatively in line to take their next turns through the rotation.

Williamson (shoulder) will make his next rehab start at Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

Williamson, who began a rehab assignment last week with a two-inning outing for Double-A Chattanooga, will be making his third rehab start and second for Louisville. He'll be targeting around 60 pitches in Tuesday's outing, after he allowed four runs on two hits and two walks while recording two outs his last time out for Louisville.

Rea allowed two runs on four hits and two walks across four innings of relief in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Royals.

This was Rea's first relief appearance since getting skipped in the rotation following Chicago's acquisition of Kevin Gausman and Clay Holmes before the trade deadline. Holmes made his team debut Saturday and was shaky in his four innings of work, allowing fours runs on six hits and two walks. It was also his first appearance in nearly two months due to a fractured fibula, so he likely just needs to shake off a little rust. That should leave Rea in a bullpen role for now, though he is capable of starting if a need arises.

Roupp (7-11) took the loss against Detroit on Saturday, allowing one run on two hits and five walks while striking out three batters over 5.1 innings.

Roupp's biggest flaw was his command, as evidenced by the five free passes he handed out. Despite that, the Tigers managed just one run against him, largely because Roupp gave up just two hits (both second-inning singles). The right-hander was mostly cruising until the sixth frame, when he walked three of the four batters he faced before being pulled for reliever Keaton Winn, who immediately issued a walk of his own to put a run on Roupp's ledger. Free passes have been an issue for Roupp of late -- he's handed out 12 walks to 10 punchouts across his past three starts spanning 13.2 innings. His 4.15 BB/9 is the fifth-worst mark in the majors among qualified starters and a big reason why he's sitting on a mediocre 4.22 ERA through 23 starts.

King (7-8) earned the win over the Astros on Saturday, allowing one run on three hits and one walk while striking out six batters over six innings.

King surrendered a second-inning Taylor Trammell solo homer, but that was the only time Houston scored against him. The right-hander finished with his 11th quality start of the season and snapped a four-outing winless stretch. King also had his swing-and-miss stuff working, racking up 15 whiffs on 93 pitches. Despite being saddled with a mediocre record, King has provided much-needed consistency for a San Diego rotation that has been beset by injuries and poor performances -- he leads the team's starters in just about every major category, including ERA (3.37), WHIP (1.17), strikeouts (114) and innings pitched (136.1).
