Harris (2-3) allowed seven hits and two walks while striking out seven over 6.2 scoreless innings to earn the win over the Astros on Monday.

Harris blanked the opposition for the third time this year and picked up his second win with his longest start of the season. The seven strikeouts were also a season high for the southpaw, who avoided giving up a home run for the fourth straight appearance. Harris is at a 2.98 ERA despite a 1.44 WHIP and 42:25 K:BB through 54.1 innings over 11 appearances (nine starts) this year. He's projected to make his next start on the road against the Angels.

Arrighetti (4-8) allowed four runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out three over six innings Monday, taking the loss versus the Athletics.

Arrighetti avoided walking multiple batters for the first time in four starts, but the Athletics were able to get to him in the third and fourth innings. The 24-year-old right-hander has been more good than bad lately, allowing four or more runs in just three of his nine outings since the start of June. He's pitched to a 5.65 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 96:45 K:BB through 86 innings over 18 starts this season. Arrighetti's next start is projected to be a tough home matchup against the Dodgers.

Ober (9-5) earned the win Monday against the Phillies, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk over seven innings. He struck out four.

The Twins right-hander looked like he was in line for a rough outing, as he yielded three hits in the first inning, including a 424-foot, two-run blast to Bryce Harper. However, Ober recovered and allowed just two additional baserunners after that to secure his 10th quality start of the season. With this performance, the 29-year-old lowered his season ERA to 4.04 across 107 innings. Ober is currently scheduled to face the Tigers in Detroit for his next start this weekend.

Suarez (10-5) took the loss Monday against Minnesota, allowing three runs on seven hits and one walk over 5.1 innings. He struck out four.

After pitching to a 1.75 ERA across his first 15 starts, the Philadelphia southpaw has struggled over his last five outings, generating an unsightly 6.67 ERA and 1.67 WHIP in 27 innings. Batters have started hitting Suarez better lately, as he's now allowed six or more knocks in eight consecutive appearances. However, this outing marks the 11th of the season in which the 28-year-old hasn't yielded a long ball. He sports a 0.7 HR/9, which would be a career best for a season in which he was predominantly a starter. Suarez currently lines up to make his next start against Cleveland at home this weekend.

Tyler will be recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville to start Tuesday's game against the Orioles, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Tyler is set to face a difficult Baltimore lineup in what will be his fifth big-league appearance of the season. He's pitched well when called upon for the big club this season, posting a 3.38 ERA and 1.19 WHIP with a 10:8 K:BB across 16 innings.

Lorenzen did not factor into the decision in Monday's 4-3 win against the White Sox, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out eight.

The 32-year-old righty started his second half with a bang, generating a season-high eight strikeouts against a feeble Chicago lineup. Even more encouragingly, Lorenzen was able to find the strike zone more consistently after yielding 13 walks across 15 innings in his three previous starts. Overall, the veteran pitcher sports a 3.53 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 73:46 K:BB over 97 innings. Lorenzen is currently slated to face the Blue Jays in Toronto this weekend.

Fedde did not factor into the decision in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks over 6.1 innings. He struck out five.

The veteran righty reached double-digit quality starts, securing his 10th of the season with this outing. The only blemishes on Fedde's evening were solo homers allowed to Marcus Semien and Leody Taveras. The 31-year-old has been a revelation in his return stateside from Korea, pitching to a 2.98 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 104:32 K:BB across 117.2 innings this season. His time in Chicago looks to be limited as he's a significant trade target ahead of next week's trade deadline. Fedde is tentatively set to make his next start for the White Sox against Seattle at home this weekend.

Diaz (1-1) allowed seven runs on nine hits and a walk over three-plus innings while taking a loss against the Royals on Monday.

Diaz gave up one run through two innings before Kansas City's bats caught fire. He allowed three runs in the third inning and was charged with three more in the fourth after giving up three straight hits to open the inning. Diaz had coughed up just two runs over 12 innings to begin his MLB career before Monday's brutal outing. His ERA jumped to 5.40 across three starts. As of now, he's lined up for a home matchup with the Pirates.

Myers (6-4) took the loss Monday against the Cubs, allowing three runs (two earned) on six hits and two walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out six.

Despite matching his career high in strikeouts with six, a mark he's reached four times in his last six starts, Myers was saddled with the loss in this 87-pitch outing. The Milwaukee rookie has impressed of late, pitching to a 1.95 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 41:12 K:BB across 50.2 innings since the beginning of June. DL Hall (knee/forearm) and Joe Ross (back) could return soon as they continue rehab assignments at Triple-A Nashville, but Myers appears locked into a rotation spot. The 25-year-old currently lines up to face the Marlins at home in his next start this weekend.

Ragans (7-6) allowed three runs on six hits and two walks over six innings Monday, striking out five and earning a win over the Diamondbacks.

Ragans wasn't as sharp as usual but the Royals put 10 runs on the board, allowing the southpaw to cruise to a second straight win. All the damage against him came in the third inning, capped off by Ketel Marte's two-run blast. Ragans has delivered quality starts in three straight outings and eight of nine since the start of June. During that stretch, he's posted a 3.07 ERA over 55.2 frames. He is sporting a 3.23 ERA with a 146:40 K:BB through 21 starts. His next appearance is projected to come at home against the Cubs.
