Freeland (0-4) left Sunday's start due to a finger injury after allowing three runs (one earned) on three hits and a walk over two innings. He struck out two and took the loss against Washington in the first game of the doubleheader.

Freeland gave up all three runs during the second inning and did not return for the third due to a finger issue. He threw 25 of 36 pitches for strikes and forced six whiffs. Freeland now owns a 4.85 ERA with a 19:3 K:BB through 26 frames. He was lined up to face the Reds at home next weekend, but the finger issue could push that back.

Gray pitched six innings, giving up three runs on six hits and a walk while striking out six batters in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Mets. He did not factor into the decision.

Gray was bit by the home run bug in the bottom of the first inning, giving up a leadoff solo shot to Francisco Lindor. He then gave up another run in the third frame before the final run on his ledger scored on an RBI single by Pete Alonso in the bottom of the fifth. Gray has now produced back-to-back quality starts, combining to pitch 13 innings of three-run ball. On the season, the right-hander has compiled a 3.41 ERA and 0.86 WHIP with 29 strikeouts over 29 innings in five starts. Gray's next projected start is set to come Saturday at home against Milwaukee.

Burke did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 8-4 win over the Red Sox, allowing four runs (one earned) on five hits and three walks with five strikeouts over five innings.

Burke wasn't helped by his defense, as he surrendered a three-run home run following two consecutive errors in the first inning. He managed 14 swinging strikes on a season-high 94 pitches and completed five frames for just the second time in five outings. On the year, the 25-year-old owns a 6.23 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 15:9 K:BB across 21.2 innings and lines up for a road matchup with the Athletics next weekend.

Houck did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 8-4 loss to the White Sox, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks with seven strikeouts over six innings.

Houck gave up a two-run homer in the first inning but rebounded with five scoreless frames. He exited with a 4-2 lead that the bullpen quickly squandered, though it was still an encouraging bounce-back effort after the 28-year-old was tagged for 12 runs (11 earned) Monday. He'll carry a 7.66 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 18:11 K:BB across 24.2 innings into a road matchup with the Guardians next weekend.

Skubal picked up a no-decision in Sunday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to Kansas City, allowing two runs on seven hits and one walk over five innings. He struck out four.

The reigning AL Cy Young Award winner entered this contest on a roll, firing 13 scoreless innings over his previous two starts. However, Skubal looked ordinary in this outing, allowing a season-worst seven hits -- all singles -- while generating 12 whiffs out of 91 total pitches. The Detroit southpaw has pitched to a 2.83 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 29:5 K:BB across 28.2 innings. Skubal is currently scheduled to make his next start against the Orioles at home next weekend.

Gillispie did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 7-5 extra-inning win over the Phillies, allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk with three strikeouts over five innings.

Gillispie surrendered three runs in the first inning but managed to settle in despite generating just six whiffs on 91 pitches. While the results haven't been ideal, the 27-year-old has completed at least five innings in four of his five starts this season. He'll take a 6.75 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 21:8 K:BB across 24 innings into a road matchup with the Mariners next weekend.

Wacha did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the Tigers, allowing two runs on seven hits and no walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out five.

The 33-year-old looked sharper in this 89-pitch performance, generating an impressive 14 whiffs while scattering seven singles. The Tigers plated both runs against Wacha in a four-hit fifth inning. Despite not completing six innings in any outing to qualify for a quality start this season, Wacha has been respectable, pitching to a 4.15 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 20:10 K:BB across 26 innings. He is currently scheduled to draw his next start against the Astros at home next weekend.

Luzardo did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 7-5 extra-inning loss to the Marlins, allowing two runs (one earned) on eight hits and no walks with seven strikeouts over seven innings.

Luzardo was fantastic against his former team, needing just 88 pitches to complete seven frames while generating 17 swinging strikes. The southpaw has now yielded three earned runs or fewer in each of his five starts with his new club. On the season, he owns a 2.08 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 36:7 K:BB across 30.1 innings and lines up for a road matchup with the Cubs next weekend.

Holmes pitched six innings, giving up one run on four hits and two walks while striking out six in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Cardinals. He did not factor into the decision.

Holmes tossed five scoreless frames before running into a little trouble in the top of the sixth inning, surrendering the only run on his line on a one-out RBI groundout by Alec Burleson. The right-hander has now given up just two runs over 11 innings in his last two starts after the Marlins tagged him for four runs over 5.1 frames April 8. Holmes will carry a 3.16 ERA and 1.36 WHIP into his next projected start Saturday on the road versus the Nationals.

Taillon allowed one run on three hits across five innings and did not factor into the decision during Sunday's 3-2, 11-inning loss to the Diamondbacks. He walked two and struck out six.

Taillon pitched well enough to deserve his second win of the season but didn't receive enough run support to escape his third straight no-decision. The veteran righty allowed six runs over 4.1 innings in his first start of the year, but since then, he's allowed only eight runs across 22.1 innings while striking out 23. Taillon seems to be rounding into form, and he'll look to keep pitching well in his next scheduled start, which is penciled in for next Sunday against the Phillies, as the Cubs only play five games in the coming week.
