Max Meyer SP | MIA
Marlins' Max Meyer: Dealt loss Sunday
Meyer (2-3) took the loss Sunday against the Mariners, allowing five runs on five hits and four walks while striking out six in four innings.
Meyer's five runs and four walks allowed were both season-high marks. Sunday was also the first time this season he's failed to reach five innings pitched. He surrendered a first-inning home run to Cal Raleigh and allowed eight baserunners combined during the second and fourth innings leading to more runs for the Mariners. Meyer is third in the majors with 47 strikeouts and has been effective overall with a 3.18 ERA and 1.21 WHIP.

Jordan Hicks RP | CHW
Giants' Jordan Hicks: No walks allowed Sunday
Hicks allowed two runs on seven hits and no walks while striking out three in five innings Sunday against the Rangers. He did not factor into the decision.
The Rangers pounced on Hicks early with two runs in the opening frame on a pair of doubles and a base hit. Hicks settled into a groove after that, facing just one over the minimum through his next four innings but exited with the game tied. Hicks has now allowed at least six hits in all but one start so far, but Sunday was his first time this season not issuing a walk. He's in search of his first win since his 2025 debut and has a good opportunity to get that done against the Rockies in his next start.

Ranger Suarez SP | BOS
Phillies' Ranger Suarez: Tosses 78 pitches in rehab outing
Suarez (back) allowed one run on four hits and two walks while striking out eight in 4.2 innings during his rehab start Sunday with Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
The left-hander threw 78 pitches in the rehab start, his fourth since beginning his minor-league assignment April 10. Suarez looks like he could be ready to return from the 15-day injured list to make his next start in the big leagues, but the uncertain status of Cristopher Sanchez (forearm) -- who is considered day-to-day -- creates some uncertainty about when Suarez might be called upon to pitch for the Phillies.

Jameson Taillon SP | CHC
Cubs' Jameson Taillon: Fans two in no-decision
Taillon did not factor in the decision during Sunday's extra-inning loss against Philadelphia. He allowed a run on five hits over seven innings while striking out two.
The lone blemish on Taillon's outing was an RBI single by Trea Turner in the third inning. It was the first time Taillon threw more than six innings this season while he registered his third quality start. He tossed 60 of 88 pitches for strikes and turned in his first start without a walk since his season debut March 28. Taillon is sporting a 4.01 ERA with a 26:7 K:BB through 33.2 frames. He's in line to start in Milwaukee next weekend.

Aaron Nola SP | PHI
Phillies' Aaron Nola: Delivers quality start
Nola did not factor in the decision during Sunday's extra-inning win over the Cubs. He allowed a run on three hits and a walk over seven innings while striking out six.
Nola coughed up a run in the second inning but otherwise had no trouble in the quality start. He commanded the zone by throwing 73 of 99 pitches for strikes and generated 16 swinging strikes, with six coming via the cutter. Nola snapped a five-start losing skid and delivered his first quality start since April 5. He'll carry a 5.40 ERA into his next start, which is lined up to be at home next weekend against the Diamondbacks.

Erick Fedde SP | CHW
Cardinals' Erick Fedde: Hit hard in loss
Fedde (1-3) took the loss against the Brewers on Sunday, allowing seven runs on 10 hits and two walks with four strikeouts over 5.2 innings.
Fedde surrendered three runs in the first inning and then four more in the fourth. He was able to manage only eight whiffs on 103 pitches while yielding 11 hard-hit balls. The 32-year-old has been inconsistent in 2025, with four quality starts but also 13 total earned runs allowed in his other two outings. He'll carry a 4.68 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 17:16 K:BB across 32.2 innings into a home matchup with the Mets next weekend.

Brandon Pfaadt SP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Brandon Pfaadt: Secures fifth win
Pfaadt (5-1) allowed three runs (two earned) on nine hits and a walk over six-plus innings Sunday, striking out six and earning a win against Atlanta.
Pfaadt delivered four shutout frames before Atlanta finally broke through with a run in the fifth inning. They put two more runs on Pfaadt's line in the seventh, including one after he was removed from the game. He tossed 65 of 100 pitches for strikes and forced 13 whiffs, including nine with the sweeper. Pfaadt has won five consecutive starts and dropped his season ERA to 2.78 to go along with a 29:6 K:BB.

Jose Quintana SP | COL
Brewers' Jose Quintana: Strikes out six in win
Quintana (4-0) earned the win against the Cardinals on Sunday, allowing one run on five hits and three walks with six strikeouts over five innings.
Quintana cruised through four frames before allowing a run in the fifth and departing with a 7-1 lead. He generated only eight swinging strikes on 98 pitches but managed to minimize hard contact. The veteran southpaw has now yielded just three total earned runs across four consecutive victories to open the campaign. He owns a 1.14 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 15:8 K:BB across 23.2 innings and lines up for a home matchup with the Cubs next weekend.

Ryan Feltner SP | COL
Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Will start Monday
Feltner (back) is listed as the Rockies' scheduled starting pitcher for Monday's game against Atlanta at Coors Field.
Feltner was initially lined up to take the hill in Sunday's series finale versus the Reds, but he ended up being pushed back a day in the schedule after he experienced back tightness while lifting weights Thursday. The right-hander isn't expected to face any limitations when he takes the hill Monday for the first of what will likely be two starts during the upcoming week. After Monday's outing, Feltner will tentatively line up for another turn next weekend in San Francisco.

Spencer Schwellenbach P | ATL
Braves' Spencer Schwellenbach: Fans six in loss
Schwellenbach (1-2) yielded four runs (three earned) on seven hits and a walk over six innings Sunday, striking out six and taking a loss against Arizona.
Schwellenbach never found a groove Sunday, coughing up a run in each of the first, second, fourth and fifth innings. He tossed 58 of 88 pitches for strikes and generated 16 whiffs, including six each with the slider and splitter. After allowing only one run through 20 innings to start his 2025 campaign, Schwellenbach has been tagged with 13 runs (11 earned) over his last 17.2 frames. He still owns a strong 2.87 ERA with a 33:6 K:BB. Schwellenbach is expected to face the Dodgers at home next weekend.
