Maeda didn't factor into the decision against the Padres on Sunday, giving up four earned runs on three hits over six innings, striking out six and walking three as the Dodgers lost 8-5.

Maeda only missed a quality start by one earned run, but the Dodgers would drop the contest after Hunter Renfroe cranked a walkoff grand slam off Kenley Jansen. The right-hander is sporting a 4.66 ERA, a 1.42 WHIP and a 34:18 K:BB through 38.2 innings, and he's scheduled to take the mound next against the Nationals at home Friday.

Eflin picked up the win Sunday against the Nationals after allowing one run on four hits and two walks while striking out five over seven innings.

Eflin surrendered a solo homer in the fourth, but he'd close out his day with three straight scoreless frames on the way to win No. 4 of the season. The 25-year-old has been stellar for the Phillies through seven starts in 2019, posting a 3.00 ERA and 1.14 WHIP with a 31:7 K:BB over 42 innings.

Lopez pitched six shutout innings, allowing three hits and one walk while striking out one in a no-decision against the Braves on Sunday.

The 23-year-old has pitched much better in the last couple weeks than he did at the beginning of April. In two of his last three starts, he's allowed zero earned runs, and since April 16, Lopez has dropped his ERA more than 2.5 runs. He is 2-4 with a 4.03 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 39 strikeouts in 38 innings this season. His next scheduled start is for Friday at the Mets.

Teheran allowed no runs on two hits with four strikeouts and two walks across six innings in a no-decision against the Marlins on Sunday.

The 28-year-old threw an absolute dandy, but so did his counterpart, Pablo Lopez, and neither starter left victorious in this pitcher's duel. Despite the no-decision, Teheran really needed this kind of start, though, as he had yielded 12 runs in 17.2 innings across three starts prior to Sunday. He is 2-4 with a 4.63 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 48 strikeouts in 44.2 innings this year. Teheran will make his next start against the Diamondbacks on the road Friday.

Marquez threw six innings in a no-decision against the Diamondbacks on Sunday, giving up five earned runs on seven hits in Colorado's 8-7 victory. He struck out nine and walked two.

The right-hander punched out nine batters but served up long balls to Eduardo Escobar and Blake Swihart, costing him a chance at a quality start. The outing pushes Marquez's ERA up to 3.46 through 52 innings ahead of his next start, which will see him take on the Padres at home on Saturday.

Lyles surrendered one run on five hits and three walks while striking out three over 6.2 innings Sunday against Oakland. He didn't factor into the decision.

Lyles cruised through six scoreless innings before giving up his only run on a single to left in the seventh. His offense didn't help him out in this one, plating just one run through the first 12 innings of the contest before rallying for a four-run 13th inning. Though he didn't pick up the win, Lyles now owns a 2.20 ERA and 1.16 WHIP with 29 strikeouts over 32.2 innings this season.

Davies (4-0) allowed two runs on six hits and a walk while striking out five over 7.2 innings Sunday in a win over the Mets.

Davies turned in yet another stellar outing, surrendering a run in the fifth and the seventh before departing with a 3-2 lead. The 26-year-old right-hander has yet to give up more than two runs in an outing this season and sports a 1.56 ERA with 26 punchouts over 40.1 frames. He'll aim to keep it rolling in his next start, a tough draw Saturday against the Cubs.

Matz will travel back to New York to have a nerve issue in his left forearm examined, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Matz turned in a solid performance in his last start Friday against the Brewers, but he evidently didn't feel quite right and will head back to New York to get checked out by the team doctors. His next outing is slated for Wednesday in San Diego, although there's a good chance he'll remain in New York if the medical staff is at all concerned about his health.

Gausman will start Monday against the Dodgers, Kevin McAlpin of 680 The Fan Atlanta reports.

Gausman will pitch on two days' rest after being ejected for throwing behind Jose Urena just 28 pitches into his previous start Friday against the Marlins. He'll bump Max Fried back to Tuesday and Mike Foltynewicz back to Wednesday.

Flexen was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday after giving up a walkoff single in Saturday's loss to the Brewers.

Flexen worked around a leadoff double to Ryan Braun to keep the score tied in the 17th inning, but Braun got him again in the 18th with a bases-loaded one-out single to send the Brewers home victorious. The Mets need fresh arms after the marathon, so Tim Peterson and Tyler Bashlor were called up to take the place of Flexen and Ryan O'Rourke.
