Webb (4-5) took the loss Sunday against the Marlins, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk while striking out five over eight innings.

Webb turned in another workhorse performance, finishing an eight-inning complete game despite being tagged with the loss. The right-hander surrendered a solo homer to Kyle Stowers in the second inning that put San Francisco in an early hole, but he otherwise kept Miami's offense in check. However, the Giants couldn't generate much offense against a Marlins bullpen game, leaving Webb with little margin for error. He has now worked at least seven innings in every start this month and has completed eight frames in each of his last three outings. Webb owns a 3.35 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 70:20 K:BB across 83.1 innings on the season. He'll look to keep rolling in his next scheduled start at home against Atlanta.

Cecconi (3-6) took the loss Sunday against Houston, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out one.

Cecconi wasn't dominant Sunday, fanning a season-low one, but he was effective enough to hold the Astros to just a pair of runs. The 26-year-old right-hander is putting together a strong month of June, giving up two runs or fewer while working at least five frames in each of his past four starts. Cecconi will take a middling 4.48 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 66:27 K:BB over 84.1 frames into his next scheduled outing at home versus the Mariners.

Elder (5-5) took the loss Sunday against the Brewers, allowing eight runs on 12 hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out six.

All of the runs against Elder came in the second inning Sunday -- five of them came with two outs, when the Brewers strung together four hits, capped by a William Contreras three-run homer. Elder has now dropped back-to-back starts, allowing 14 runs across 10 innings in that span. His ERA now sits at 3.71 with a 1.21 WHIP and 79:29 K:BB across 16 starts (94.2 innings) this season. Elder will look to get back on track his next time out, tentatively scheduled to come next weekend on the road against the Giants.

Gasser (1-3) earned the win Sunday over Atlanta, allowing two runs on four hits and a walk across six innings. He struck out seven.

Gasser was sharp Sunday en route to his first win and quality start this season. After struggling to a 6.38 ERA across 18.1 innings in his first four outings this year, Gasser has allowed just two runs over 12.2 innings in his last two starts. However, the left-hander's role in the short term is uncertain with Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) slated to return to the Milwaukee rotation Monday against Cincinnati.

Jones (elbow) underwent imaging, which came back negative, Sunday in Colorado.

Jones was struck in the right elbow by a line drive and exited Sunday's contest against the Rockies following the conclusion of the third inning. The team had the 24-year-old undergo initial imaging in Colorado, and at the moment, it appears as if he has avoided a significant injury. Jones is expected to be reexamined by the medical staff in Pittsburgh on Monday, and he can be considered day-to-day for the time being.

The Yankees optioned Rodriguez to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Reds.

Rodriguez was called up to make a spot start Sunday, and he was handed his second loss of the season after tossing four innings and allowing three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out four. The 22-year-old will head back to the minors while the Yankees scale back to a five-man rotation during the upcoming week.

Burns (9-1) earned the win Sunday over the Yankees, allowing a run on five hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out seven.

Burns turned in another strong outing Sunday, with New York's lone run coming on Ben Rice's home run in the third inning. The 23-year-old Burns has now held opponents to two runs or fewer while going at least five innings in each of his last 12 starts -- he's gone 8-0 with a 2.05 ERA across 70.1 innings in that span. Burns' ERA is down to 2.00 through 15 starts (85.2 innings) this season with a 1.05 WHIP and 102:29 K:BB. He'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, currently lined up to come on the road against the Pirates next weekend.

McCullers (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sugar Land on Thursday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

McCullers threw a 25-pitch live batting practice session Friday and has now been cleared for game action in the minors. The veteran right-hander has been on the shelf for a month due to shoulder inflammation and could back with the Astros after making a couple rehab starts, depending on how well he's able to build up his workload.

Jones was lifted from his start Sunday against the Rockies after being struck in the right elbow by an 87.9-mph line drive off the bat of TJ Rumfield, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

The Pirates were able to record an inning-ending out on the play in question, resulting in Jones finishing his day with three strikeouts and one run allowed on one hit and two walks across three frames. Jones was making his fifth start of the season for Pittsburgh on Sunday after completing his recovery from May 2025 UCL repair surgery on his right elbow. While it's less than ideal that the same elbow was struck by a comebacker, Jones should be able to steer clear of an extended absence so long as he was able to avoid a fracture. He's currently being evaluated by the Pirates' medical staff, and the team should have an update on his status later Sunday.

Montgomery (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment Sunday with Double-A Frisco.

The left-hander has been working his way back from the hybrid UCL reconstruction surgery he underwent on his elbow in March 2025, and he's now entering the final stage of his rehab program. Montgomery will require a handful of rehab starts in the minor leagues before gaining full clearance, lining him up to potentially join the Rangers in late July or early August.
