Marquez did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks over four innings against the Blue Jays. He struck out four.

Marquez allowed all three of his runs via the long ball, surrendering a solo homer to Nathan Lukes in the first inning before Ernie Clement connected for a two-run shot in the fourth frame. Marquez has made three appearances (two starts) since returning from the injured list due to a forearm injury, posting a 3.75 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 9:8 K:BB across 12 innings. The veteran right-hander will take a 4-2 record with a 5.18 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 28:20 K:BB across 41.2 innings (nine appearances) into the All-Star break.

Sheehan did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing three runs (two earned) on three hits and a walk over 5.1 innings against the Diamondbacks. He struck out seven.

Sheehan posted four shutout innings before running into some trouble in the fifth and sixth frames. The right-hander has struggled with the long ball at times but kept the Diamondbacks from leaving the yard, marking just the second time this season he has gone back-to-back starts without allowing a homer after also holding the Padres homerless in his previous outing. The 26-year-old will take a 4-6 record with a 4.81 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 93:26 K:BB across 82.1 innings (17 starts) into the All-Star break.

Bratt did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing three runs on three hits and three walks over three innings against the Dodgers. He did not record a strikeout.

Bratt was greeted by a Shohei Ohtani leadoff homer in the first inning before surrendering two more runs on a Tommy Edman single in the third frame. The rookie southpaw was lifted after throwing 58 pitches, only 29 of which were strikes, as he struggled to find the strike zone consistently. Through his first two big-league appearances, Bratt has allowed four runs on five hits with a 3:5 K:BB across six innings. It remains to be seen whether the 23-year-old will receive an extended opportunity in the starting rotation after the All-Star break with Zac Gallen (elbow) on the injured list.

Lorenzen did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing one run on five hits and three walks over five innings against the Giants. He struck out one.

Lorenzen allowed plenty of traffic and generated just two whiffs, but the veteran hurler limited the damage to one run across five innings. The right-hander has shown some improvement of late, posting a 3.22 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 25:16 K:BB across 36.1 innings over his past seven starts. Overall, Lorenzen will take a 3-9 record with a 6.22 ERA, 1.77 WHIP and 73:38 K:BB across 97 innings (21 appearances) into the All-Star break.

McDonald did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing one run on three hits and a walk over seven innings against Colorado. He struck out four.

After surrendering a leadoff inside-the-park homer to Jake McCarthy, McDonald kept the Colorado offense quiet over seven innings, matching the season high he established in his first outing May 4 against San Diego. It was a much-needed rebound performance for the right-hander after he was tagged for eight runs across 2.1 innings in his previous start against Toronto. McDonald will take a 3-7 record, 5.02 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 54:21 K:BB across 66.1 innings (13 starts) into the All-Star break.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that Rodon (elbow) has had "a few good days of throwing" and could resume throwing off a mound at some point during the upcoming week, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Rodon rested Sunday, but the southpaw is expected to resume playing catch Monday and will do throwing of some kind just about every day during the All-Star break. He'll likely need to complete multiple bullpen sessions before he advances to facing hitters and then embarks on a rehab assignment, so Rodon still has a few hurdles to clear in his recovery from left elbow inflammation prior to returning from the 15-day injured list. Rodon is without a definitive target date for a return but appears unlikely to make it back from the shelf before the end of July.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Fried (elbow) threw a successful live batting practice session Saturday and is "likely" to pitch in a rehab game as soon as next Friday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Per MLB.com, Fried reported to Double-A Somerset to throw his live session Saturday and tossed 44 pitches over three simulated innings. He'll presumably throw a bullpen session in the next day or two before the Yankees assign him to an affiliate to kick off a rehab assignment. Assuming he's able to build on his 44-pitch workload from Saturday, Fried may need just one or two rehab appearances before slotting back into the New York rotation. The veteran southpaw has been on the shelf since May 16 due to a bone bruise in his left elbow.

Double-A Erie placed Miller on its 7-day injured list Sunday due to an unspecified issue.

Miller opened the season on Triple-A Toledo's IL while he was recovering from October labral repair surgeries on both of his hips, but he was activated and assigned to Erie earlier in the week after completing a six rehab appearances across stops with three of the Tigers' lower-level affiliates. He made his debut for Erie on Tuesday and struck out two over three scoreless frames, but Miller apparently succumbed to a new injury coming out of that appearance.

Ginn (7-6) took the loss Sunday against the White Sox, allowing eight runs on six hits and three walks while striking out seven over 4.1 innings.

Ginn's outing unraveled quickly after Sam Antonacci launched a leadoff homer to spark a six-run first inning for Chicago. The right-hander did finish the outing with seven strikeouts and retired nine straight batters at one point, but a single and a walk to begin the fifth ended his afternoon, and Chicago tacked on three more runs following the exit, leaving him charged with a career-high eight earned runs. Despite Sunday's rough outing, Ginn was reliable for much of the first half, posting a 3.67 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 93:46 K:BB across 103 innings, and he will have the opportunity to bounce back after the All-Star break.

Schultz (3-6) earned the win Sunday against the Athletics, allowing one run on four hits while striking out four over five innings.

Schultz didn't allow a run after serving up a first-inning solo homer to Shea Langeliers, although he did have to escape a bases-loaded jam in the fourth. Most encouragingly, the left-hander did not issue a walk for just the second time this season after handing out at least four free passes in five of his previous 10 starts. The victory snapped Schultz's four-start losing streak and was his first win since May 1. He heads into the All-Star break with a 5.60 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 47:29 K:BB across 53 innings.
