Trevor Rogers SP | BAL
Orioles' Trevor Rogers: Fans nine in win
Rogers (7-2) picked up the win Sunday against Houston, allowing one run on five hits and three walks across seven innings. He struck out nine.
Rogers' stretch of outstanding play continued against Houston -- he allowed fewer than two runs for a sixth straight start. He's completed at least seven innings in five of those appearances, owning a 1.07 ERA and a 41:7 K:BB across 42 innings during that stretch. The left-hander has a 1.40 ERA in 83.1 innings this season. He hasn't posted a sub-4.00 ERA since the 2021 campaign. Rogers will look to keep rolling in his next start, which is tentatively scheduled to come in San Francisco.

Spencer Arrighetti P | HOU
Astros' Spencer Arrighetti: Loses again
Arrighetti (1-5) took the loss Sunday against Baltimore, allowing two runs on six hits and no walks across 5.2 innings. He struck out two.
Arrighetti was stuck with a fifth straight loss despite coming one out short of a quality start. The 25-year-old has been inconsistent since returning Aug. 6 from a four-month IL stint due to a right thumb fracture. He's yielded five runs in two of his four starts and has allowed two runs in each of his other two appearances. Since coming off the injured list, Arrighetti has logged a 6.52 ERA and a 15:10 K:BB across 19.1 innings. He's on track to face the Angels next weekend.

Carlos Rodon SP | NYY
Yankees' Carlos Rodon: Works around walks in win
Rodon (14-7) allowed two runs on one hit and five walks while striking out three over 5.2 innings to earn the win over the Red Sox on Sunday.
Rodon has issued a season-high five walks in three of his last seven starts. He was largely able to work around his control issues Sunday, as he gave the Red Sox little to hit, with only a two-run single by Nathaniel Lowe in the sixth inning marring Rodon's line. The 32-year-old southpaw is now at a 3.24 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 172:65 K:BB through 158.1 innings across 27 starts. He's projected for a favorable road start versus the White Sox in his next outing.

Richard Fitts SP | STL
Red Sox's Richard Fitts: Set for bulk role
Fitts is expected to operate as a bulk reliever behind opening pitcher Brennan Bernardino in Monday's game against Baltimore, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.
Fitts was called up from Triple-A Worcester on Thursday and was made available out of the bullpen, but the Red Sox stayed away from using him during their four-game weekend series versus the Yankees. The right-hander thus isn't expected to face any restrictions with his workload once he likely enters the game after Bernardino covers the first inning or two. Fitts has previously served as a starter in all 10 of his appearances with Boston this season, compiling a 4.83 ERA and 1.32 WHIP with 34 strikeouts over 41 innings.

Dustin May SP | STL
Red Sox's Dustin May: Poor showing in loss
May (7-10) allowed five runs on five hits and three walks while striking out three over 4.1 innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Yankees.
May is now 1-3 with 10 runs allowed over 20 innings across his four starts with the Red Sox. The long ball was his primary issue Sunday, as he allowed a two-run home run to Jazz Chisholm and a pair of solo shots to Trent Grisham. On the year, May is now at a 4.79 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 117:50 K:BB through 124 innings over 23 games (22 starts). May's next start is projected to be at home versus the Pirates.

Brady Singer SP | CIN
Reds' Brady Singer: Fans nine in no-decision
Singer did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 6-1 win at Arizona. He allowed one run on a hit and three walks over six innings with nine strikeouts.
The 29-year-old notched his fifth quality start out of his last six appearances, as he struck out nine or more batters for the fourth time this season. The lone blemish on Singer's line came via a Lourdes Gurriel sacrifice fly in the first, with the only base knock allowed being a Geraldo Perdomo triple to open the frame. Over his last six outings, Singer has looked like an ace, going 4-1 with a 1.80 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 39:10 K:BB across 35 innings. The Cincinnati right-hander will look to continue his recent run of success in his next start, which is currently scheduled to come in his team's upcoming weekend series at home against St. Louis.

Zac Gallen SP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Zac Gallen: Quality start in no-decision
Gallen allowed one run on four hits and one walk over six innings while not factoring into the decision in Sunday's 6-1 loss to the Reds. He struck out seven.
The Arizona right-hander impressed over this 95-pitch outing, as he tallied a quality start for the fourth time out of his last five appearances. The only blemish on Gallen's line came in the sixth when Noelvi Marte lashed a run-scoring triple -- the only extra-base knock Gallen conceded. Despite an ugly 5.13 ERA and 1.31 WHIP across 156 total innings, the 30-year-old has pitched better since the All-Star break, producing a 4.39 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 31:8 K:BB over 41 frames. Gallen lines up for a difficult test in his next start, which currently lines up to come on the road against the Dodgers next weekend.

Kevin Gausman SP | TOR
Blue Jays' Kevin Gausman: One rough inning in loss
Gausman (8-10) took the loss against the Marlins on Sunday, allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk with seven strikeouts over six innings.
Gausman was locked in a pitcher's duel with Eury Perez before giving up a bases-loaded triple in the fifth. It marked only the second time in seven outings since the All-Star break that the 34-year-old allowed more than two earned runs, a stretch that includes four quality starts and a 3.07 ERA. He'll carry a 3.87 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 149:43 K:BB across 153.2 innings this season into a home matchup with the Brewers next weekend.

Eury Perez SP | MIA
Marlins' Eury Perez: Logs quality start in win
Perez (6-3) earned the win against the Blue Jays on Sunday, allowing two runs on three hits and one walk with four strikeouts over six innings.
Perez cruised through six scoreless innings before the first two batters he faced in the seventh reached base and scored on a homer allowed by Lake Bachar. Perez generated 18 swinging strikes on 94 pitches, completing six frames for just the second time in seven outings since the All-Star break. He'll take a 3.44 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 70:25 K:BB across 70.2 innings into a road matchup with the Mets next weekend.

Kyle Hendricks SP | LAA
Angels' Kyle Hendricks: Saddled with ninth loss
Hendricks (6-9) took the loss Sunday against the Cubs, allowing four runs on five hits and three walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out two.
The Angels right-hander conceded three or more free passes for the sixth time this season in his first ever appearance against his former club. Hendricks limited the Chicago lineup -- yielding two doubles and three singles -- but wound up being tagged with three or more runs for the third consecutive outing. The 35-year-old remains difficult to roster in fantasy thanks to a 5.04 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 87:37 K:BB over 130.1 total frames while giving up 21 homers. Hendricks is currently in line to make his next start at Houston next weekend.
