Eflin (3-1) got the win Sunday against the Angels, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five in five innings.

Eflin got off to a rocky start, allowing two runs in the opening frame before rebounding with four scoreless. Despite throwing only 58 pitches in his lone rehab start, Eflin worked up to 83 pitches and left in line for the win with the team up 3-2. He'd registered a quality start in all three of his outings prior to getting injured and lines up for a favorable home matchup against the Nationals over the weekend.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Snell is still dealing with some discomfort in his left shoulder and wasn't able to resume playing catch Sunday as planned, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

Snell appears to be stuck in a holding pattern in his recovery from left shoulder inflammation, which has kept him on the injured list since April 6. He had been able to resume throwing bullpen sessions less than two weeks after being shelved with the injury, but he experienced a setback in late April and received an injection in his shoulder to aid in his recovery. The injection doesn't appear to have resolved Snell's shoulder discomfort as quickly as anticipated, and the lefty is now set to meet with Dr. Neal ElAttrache on Monday before the Dodgers determine his next steps. Even if he receives a positive evaluation from Dr. ElAttrache, Snell would still seem to be multiple weeks away from returning from the IL.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed Sunday that Glasnow (shoulder) resumed playing catch, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

After landing on the 15-day injured list April 28 due to right shoulder inflammation, Glasnow was shut down for just over a week and a half before he was cleared to begin a throwing program. Glasnow has a checkup with Dr. Neal ElAttrache scheduled for Monday, and a clearer timeline for his return from the IL could begin to come into focus following that meeting.

Giolito (1-1) earned the win against the Royals on Sunday, allowing one unearned run on two hits and one walk with five strikeouts over 6.2 innings.

Giolito threw 59 of 88 pitches for strikes and yielded just one unearned run, which came on his own throwing error in the third inning. The 30-year-old has now delivered two quality starts in three outings and rebounded nicely from Tuesday's six-run loss. He'll carry a 4.96 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 14:4 K:BB across 16.1 innings into a home matchup with Atlanta next weekend.

Lugo (3-4) took the loss against the Red Sox on Sunday, allowing three runs on six hits and no walks with five strikeouts over six innings.

Lugo was burned by a solo home run in the fourth inning and a two-run shot in the sixth. The 35-year-old still notched his fifth consecutive quality start, though he's now surrendered nine long balls in nine outings. On the season, he owns a 3.02 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 42:15 K:BB across 56.2 innings and lines up for a home matchup with the Cardinals next weekend.

Lopez did not factor in the decision during Sunday's extra-inning win over the Giants. He allowed four runs on five hits and two walks while striking out six over six innings.

Lopez gave up one run through three frames before Heliot Ramos took him deep for a two-run shot in the fourth inning. It was the first home run allowed by Lopez since April 2. Lopez threw 55 of 91 pitches for strikes and walked multiple batters for just the second time this season. He's produced only two quality starts in seven appearances this season despite registering a strong 2.77 ERA through 39 innings. Lopez is projected to start in Milwaukee next weekend.

Patrick did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 4-2 win against the Rays, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks with four strikeouts over 4.1 innings.

Patrick was handed a 3-2 lead in the top of the fifth inning but was unable to complete the frame and earn the win after allowing a double and walk. He generated 11 swinging strikes on 81 pitches and has now allowed three earned runs or fewer in all eight of his starts this season. He'll carry a 3.19 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 36:14 K:BB across 42.1 innings into a home matchup with the Twins next weekend.

Rasmussen (1-4) took the loss against the Brewers on Sunday, allowing three runs on four hits and one walk with three strikeouts over five innings.

Rasmussen surrendered back-to-back home runs in the fourth inning and was charged with his third straight loss. He's now allowed three earned runs or more in four of his past five outings and hasn't recorded a win since his season debut. Still, the 29-year-old owns a solid 3.38 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 35:10 K:BB across 40 innings and lines up for a favorable matchup with the Marlins next weekend.

Roupp did not factor in the decision during Sunday's extra-inning loss to Minnesota. He allowed three runs on six hits over five innings while striking out three.

Roupp threw three scoreless frames before coughing up a two-run shot to Brooks Lee in the fourth inning. Roupp has thrown five or fewer innings in each of his last four outings, producing a 6.00 ERA during that span. He threw a season-low 75 pitches Sunday. Roupp is sporting a 4.95 ERA with a 42:14 K:BB through 40 innings this season. He's projected for a home matchup against the Athletics next weekend.

Eovaldi (4-2) earned the win against the Tigers on Sunday, allowing two hits and one walk while striking out seven over seven scoreless innings.

Eovaldi was spotted an early lead and cruised from there, generating 13 whiffs on 95 pitches while closing with three perfect innings. The veteran has now delivered five consecutive quality starts and has allowed three earned runs or fewer in all nine of his outings this season. He'll take a stellar 1.78 ERA, 0.75 WHIP and 60:5 K:BB across 55.2 innings into a home matchup with the Astros next weekend.
