Littell (1-5) got the win over the Padres on Sunday, allowing two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out a batter in five innings.

Littell limited the Padres to a lot of soft contact and did not allow an extra-base hit. He's now allowed three runs or fewer in three straight starts and Sunday was the first time since his season debut that he did not give up a home run. Littell lowered his ERA to a 5.03 and will look to make it two wins in a row when he faces the Yankees on the road over the weekend.

Weathers (forearm) struck out six over three perfect innings in his first rehab start with Single-A Jupiter on Sunday.

Weathers didn't face the stiffest competition, but he couldn't have delivered better results in his first outing since going down with a left flexor strain late in spring training. The southpaw will likely need at least one more rehab start before returning from the 15-day injured list and rejoining the Miami rotation.

Miley (elbow) departed his second rehab start with High-A Dayton in the first inning with an undisclosed injury, Kayler Smith of WDTN.com reports.

Miley was facing his third batter of the game when he called for the trainer after throwing a pitch before eventually walking off the mound. The 38-year-old is coming back from a hybrid UCL repair on his left elbow, although it's unclear whether he's dealing with a setback with his elbow or something else. The Reds should offer an update on Miley's status soon.

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.

Evans (1-0) earned the win over the Marlins on Sunday, allowing two runs on two hits and three walks while striking out three over five innings.

Evans didn't have to wait long for his Welcome to The Show moment -- Agustin Ramirez took him deep to center field in the first inning. Evans was able to respond with two punchouts the very next frame and didn't allow much hard contact the rest of the way. He flashed a six-pitch arsenal and seems likely to stick in the rotation for now with George Kirby (shoulder) and Logan Gilbert (elbow) on the injured list, with a matchup against the Rangers likely awaiting him this weekend.

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.

Leiter allowed two runs on two hits and four walks while striking out three in 3.1 innings against the Giants on Sunday. He did not factor into the decision.

Leiter struggled to find the zone in the opening frame, issuing three walks and a single to help the Giants get on the board. He faced little resistance over the next two innings, but a leadoff single in the fourth and a high pitch count ended his day early. Leiter missed most of April due to a finger blister, and he had some rust in his return Sunday with the four walks being a big departure from the 10:1 K:BB he posted in his two outings prior to the injury.

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.

Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said that Cecconi (oblique) completed a bullpen session Sunday, SI.com reports.

Cecconi has missed the entirety of the 2025 campaign to this point while recovering from a left oblique strain that he suffered in mid-March. The right-hander will likely complete a few more side sessions before facing live hitters and eventually heading out on a minor-league rehab assignment.

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.
