Nola allowed three runs on six hits and one walk while striking out five over six innings, but received no decision Sunday at the Marlins.

Nola gave up all three of his runs in the fourth inning, but the Phillies' offense scored three runs of their own in the sixth inning to take him off the hook for a potential loss. He's now allowed one or fewer earned runs in each of his last four starts, and he boasts a 3.13 ERA to go along with a 0.85 WHIP. He'll make his next start Saturday against the Reds.

Stripling allowed one run on one hit while striking out six over six innings, but received no decision Sunday at the Blue Jays.

Stripling was masterful in this outing, but left the game with a one-run deficit before the offense came alive after his departure to take him off the hook for a potential loss. After allowing eight runs over his previous 10 innings of work, he bounced back nicely and lowered his ERA to 3.82. He'll make his next start Friday against the Cardinals.

Glasnow threw a season-high seven innings Saturday, striking out 11 Louisville batters without allowing a run. He gave up four hits and just one walk.

Speaking on his Sunday radio show, GM Neal Huntington noted Glasnow's success but gave no hint the righty would be recalled prior to the passing of Super 2 arbitration (or any specific date). Huntington would like to see Glasnow gain more experience in the minors -- the righty has totaled 96 innings above Double-A. Fantasy owners will likely have to wait at least another month before the prospect makes his major league debut.

Urias is not expected to join the Dodgers in Los Angeles on Monday, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.

The Dodgers open up a four-game series against the Mets on Monday, but it doesn't sound like Urias will be part of the 25-man roster at that point. The organization's top prospect has been in consideration for a spot in the bullpen of late, but it looks like those talks will be put on hold, at least temporarily. A bullpen role would be less than ideal for his value, but nothing is set in stone just yet.

Ramirez was activated from the bereavement list Sunday, MLB.com's Carrie Muskat reports.

Ramirez will return to his regular role providing bullpen depth for the Cubs, while his temporary replacement, Spencer Patton, will head back down to Triple-A Iowa.

Wainwright didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 6-4 victory over the Pirates, surrendering seven hits and three earned runs over 6.1 innings. He struck out five.

It looked like the wheels were starting to come off for the 34-year-old after back-to-back April starts where he surrendered 17 hits and 10 earned runs over 11.1 innings, but the two-time 20-game winner has largely righted the ship since then. He's posted quality starts in three of his last four trips to the mound, and brought his ERA down almost two full runs from its high point of 8.27. Wainwright also did not issue a free pass for the first time this season, and was efficient in throwing only 95 pitches during what was his longest stint on the hill in 2016. He'll try to keep the momentum going when the Cardinals travel to the West Coast to take on the Dodgers on Friday.

Hammel struggled in a no-decision against the Nationals on Saturday, walking four and striking out three in just five innings.

The Cubs came from behind to win, taking Hammel off the hook, but it was his worst start of the year and second start in a row in which he lasted just five innings. He may be 4-0 with a 1.85 ERA, but his 3.71 BB/9 is his worst mark since 2008.

Kershaw (4-1) struck out 10 and surrendered eight hits and two earned runs over seven innings in Saturday's 6-2 victory over the Blue Jays.

The Dodgers ace demonstrated pinpoint control, and induced a robust 21 swings-and-misses over his 112 pitches. The 28-year-old has gone at least seven innings in all seven starts this season, and has bounced back from his poorest outing of the season on April 26 by giving up only two earned runs over 16 innings in his subsequent pair of starts. Kershaw's WHIP is now a minuscule 0.77, and he's already struck out 24 batters without issuing a single walk in 16 frames during May.

Finnegan allowed five runs, three of which were earned, on seven hits while striking out one over five innings, but received no decision Saturday against the Brewers.

Finnegan had a four-run lead, but after allowing three homers, squandered his lead in a game the Reds would go on to lose. He's now allowed at least three earned runs in each of his last four starts to raise his ERA to 4.15. He'll make his next start Friday at the Phillies.

Teheran allowed two runs, one of which was earned, on five hits and two walks while striking out five over five innings, but received no decision Saturday against the Diamondbacks.

Teheran had a two-run lead in the second inning, but he was unable to hold the lead before exiting the contest. The righty is on fire, as he's held opponents to one earned run or fewer over his last three starts, though lack of run support has kept him from notching a victory. He'll make his next start Friday at the Royals.
