Patrick Corbin SP | TEX
Rangers' Patrick Corbin: Saddled with eighth loss
Corbin (6-8) took the loss Sunday against Philadelphia, conceding three runs on four hits and three walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out one.
The veteran southpaw was pulled relatively early for the second straight start at 78 pitches, after he was yanked following a three-inning, 72-pitch outing against the Yankees on Monday. Corbin pitched relatively well in this contest, inducing 11 whiffs, but couldn't make it through the fifth after allowing four of the first five batters in that frame to reach base. Through 117 total innings, the 36-year-old owns a 4.00 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 97:38 K:BB but could be facing difficulty notching wins and quality starts if he continues to see quick hooks. Corbin lines up for another difficult test in his next start, currently scheduled to be at Toronto next weekend.

Sean Manaea RP | NYM
Mets' Sean Manaea: Fades in no-decision
Manaea conceded four runs on six hits and two walks over four frames while not factoring into the decision in Sunday's 7-6 loss at Milwaukee. He struck out five.
The New York southpaw was cruising through the first three innings, allowing no runs on two hits while his offense supplied him with a 5-0 lead heading into the bottom of the fourth. Manaea conceded three runs in the fourth before being chased after allowing a leadoff single to Isaac Collins in the fifth. Collins then scored when reliever Reed Garrett gave up a homer to the next batter, William Contreras. Manaea tossed a season-high 87 pitches in this appearance, as the Mets continue to limit his usage after he was shelved until July 13 with elbow and oblique injuries. The 33-year-old has pitched to a 4.33 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 30:6 K:BB over 27 total innings and is tentatively slated to make his next start at home against the Mariners next weekend.

Chase Dollander SP | COL
Rockies' Chase Dollander: Rejoining rotation Monday
The Rockies are expected to call up Dollander from Triple-A Albuquerque to start Monday's contest against the Cardinals in St. Louis, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
After struggling to a 6.68 ERA over 68.2 innings in 15 starts with the Rockies before being demoted in July 7, Dollander didn't show much improvement with his performance at Albuquerque, logging an 8.74 ERA and 1.85 WHIP in 11.1 innings over three starts. Despite his poor numbers at Triple-A, Dollander looks like he'll get another chance to stake a more permanent claim to a rotation spot. Assuming the Rockies opt to keep a five-man rotation intact this week, Anthony Molina or Tanner Gordon could be optioned to Triple-A or send to the bullpen to open up a spot for Dollander.

Martin Perez SP | ATL
White Sox's Martin Perez: Closing in on return
White Sox manager Will Venable said Sunday that Perez (elbow) will throw a bullpen session before the team determines his next steps, Jack Ankony of SI.com reports.
After Perez built up to four innings and 58 pitches in his second rehab outing with Triple-A Charlotte on Friday, Venable suggested that the veteran southpaw would require another start in the minors before returning from the 60-day injured list. However, Venable's comments Sunday seemingly suggest that Perez's return from the IL could be expedited, depending on how the 34-year-old comes out of his upcoming throwing session. Perez has been on the shelf since April 19 due to a left flexor strain, so he'll likely have his workload monitored carefully if the White Sox bring him back from the IL during the upcoming week.

Bryce Miller SP | SEA
Mariners' Bryce Miller: Set for another rehab start
Miller (elbow) is scheduled to make his third rehab start with Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Miller is expected to build up to around 80-to-85 pitches in the upcoming outing, which should be his final one in the minors before he returns from the 15-day injured list and slots back into the Seattle rotation. The right-hander has been on the shelf since June 7 due to elbow inflammation but has exhibited sharp control through his first two starts with Tacoma, turning in an 11:2 K:BB in 7.2 innings.

Quinn Priester SP | MIL
Brewers' Quinn Priester: Pummeled in no-decision
Priester did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 7-6 victory over the Mets. He allowed six runs on 10 hits and one walk over 4.1 innings with two strikeouts.
With this 75-pitch outing, Priester snapped a hot streak of five consecutive appearances with a win, during which he fired a 1.99 ERA and 0.98 WHIP over 31.2 frames. The New York lineup jumped on the Milwaukee right-hander early, tallying two runs on three hits in the first frame. When all was said and done, Priester wound up conceding 10 hits, matching a career worst previously set Sept. 30, 2023 against the Marlins when he was with Pittsburgh. The 24-year-old, who now sports a 3.49 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 95:39 K:BB over 118.2 total innings, will look to bounce back in his next start, which currently lines up to come at Cincinnati next weekend.

Slade Cecconi SP | CLE
Guardians' Slade Cecconi: Suffers fifth loss
Cecconi (5-5) took the loss Sunday against the White Sox, allowing five runs on eight hits and one walk over three innings. He struck out four.
The 26-year-old righty struggled in this short 68-pitch outing, as he conceded multiple homers for the first time in his last four starts. Over his past three previous appearances, Cecconi pitched well, tossing 19 frames with a 3.32 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 11:5 K:BB. He yielded both long balls in the first, with Lenyn Sosa popping a two-run homer and Colson Montgomery knocking a solo shot. Cecconi will carry a 4.11 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 73:24 K:BB across 85.1 innings into his next start, which currently lines up to be at home against Atlanta next weekend.

Davis Martin SP | CHW
White Sox's Davis Martin: Notches fourth win
Martin (4-9) earned the win Sunday against the Guardians, allowing three runs on five hits and three walks with two strikeouts over five innings.
The Chicago right-hander looked sharp through the first five frames in this 97-pitch performance, conceding just one run on a solo homer to Kyle Manzardo in the fourth. Martin then unraveled in the sixth, as he allowed the first two runners to reach, both of whom subsequently scored after reliever Brandon Eisert entered. Through 101.1 total innings, Martin sports a 4.17 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 70:31 K:BB while allowing 15 long balls. He's currently slated to make his next appearance at Kansas City next weekend.

Hunter Greene SP | CIN
Reds' Hunter Greene: Should return from IL on Wednesday
Greene (groin) will work out in Cincinnati on Sunday and is expected to return from the 15-day injured list to start Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Pat Brennan of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Greene completed his fourth rehab outing (third with Triple-A Louisville) on Friday, striking out seven over 5.1 innings while ceding five earned runs on two hits and three walks. Though he allowed a pair of home runs, Greene got stretched out to 79 pitches and seems to have checked out fine physically following the start. His return will force the Reds to rejigger their rotation. Nick Martinez may be at risk of moving to the bullpen, despite tossing seven innings of one-run ball in Saturday's win over the Pirates.

Hunter Greene SP | CIN
Reds' Hunter Greene: Makes fourth rehab start
Greene (groin) allowed five runs on two hits and three walks while striking out seven over 5.1 innings for Triple-A Louisville on Friday.
This was Greene's fourth rehab outing and third at the Triple-A level, and he upped his pitch count to 79. The workload at least indicates he could re-enter the Reds' rotation at any time, but the venue for the right-hander's next start is still to be determined. Greene has allowed 11 runs (10 earned) on 10 hits, including four home runs, and five walks while striking out 24 over 13 rehab innings.
