Montgomery (6-7) earned a win over the Yankees on Sunday, allowing one run (zero earned) on two hits and three walks while striking out six over 6.2 innings.

Montgomery was in command versus his former team and held the Yankees hitless until Gleyber Torres doubled off him with two outs in the sixth. His two hits allowed was a season low and he continued his streak of dominance since the end of May. Over his last seven starts, Montgomery has a 1.66 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 39:19 K:BB in 43.1 innings. He's pitched at least six frames in four of his last five outings and has racked up three straight wins. The 30-year-old will look to keep things going as he lines up for a road start against the White Sox this coming week.

Singer (5-7) earned the win over the Dodgers on Sunday, allowing one run on four hits and three walks while striking out four over seven innings.

Singer dominated the Dodgers for his second straight quality start while allowing just one extra-base hit. He registered 14 whiffs on the day, though his strikeout numbers have been down in comparison to past years. Singer hasn't struck out more than five in a game since he had seven June 4. He currently stands at a 7.4 K/9 after averaging a strikeout per inning over his last two seasons. The 26-year-old has found something as of late and now owns a 5.52 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 74:34 K:BB in 89.2 innings. He lines up to face the Guardians on the road over the weekend.

Gonsolin (4-3) took the loss Sunday against the Royals, allowing four runs on six hits and three walks while striking out three over 3.2 innings.

Gonsolin was roughed up Sunday for a third consecutive start by one of the worst offenses in baseball. He tossed scoreless frames in the first and third but unraveled in the fourth after allowing four of the first five batters he faced to reach, leading to three runs in the inning for the Royals. He was unable to complete the frame and was yanked at 81 pitches. Gonsolin has issued multiple walks in seven of his last eight starts and has given up 15 runs over his last 14.1 innings after owning a sparkling 1.93 ERA through June 13. The 29-year-old now sports a 3.69 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 49:25 K:BB in 61 innings and lines up to face the Angels this week.

Peterson allowed one run on three hits and three walks over four innings in Sunday's win against the Giants. He struck out three and did not factor in the decision.

The southpaw also hit a batter and uncorked two wild pitches, but Peterson was able to avoid significant damage in a short outing that lasted only 61 pitches (35 strikes). He was demoted to Triple-A Syracuse in May after posting a terrible 8.08 ERA through 39 innings. The 27-year-old has coughed up just one run over 10 innings since returning to the MLB level, lowering his season ERA to 6.61. Peterson will likely stay in the rotation for another start, which is currently lined up to be in San Diego, but after the All-Star break he figures to hand his spot off to Jose Quintana (ribs).

Stripling issued one walk over two shutout frames in Sunday's loss to the Mets. He struck out two and did not factor in the decision.

Stripling has thrown five total innings in two appearances since returning from a trip to the injured list. He's given up just one run during that span, but his season ERA still sits at 6.51 across 37.1 innings. It's unclear if the Giants plan to move him back into a traditional starting role for his next outing.

Wood (3-3) alowed five runs (four earned) on two hits and four walks over 1.2 innings Sunday, striking out three and taking a loss against the Mets.

Wood came out of the bullpen and immediately ran into trouble after Ross Stripling fired two shutout frames. The Mets plated three runs on Wood in the third inning followed by two more in the fourth. After posting a 2.87 ERA through his first five appearances, his ERA has ballooned up to 6.51 through 45 innings this year. The veteran southpaw has yet to complete six innings in any outing this season and has now made two straight appearances out of the bullpen to follow an opener. As of now, Wood's next outing is lined up to be at home against the Rockies.

Abbott did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing one run on four hits and one walk over 7.2 innings against the Padres. He struck out 12.

Abbott turned in the best start of his young career Sunday, holding San Diego scoreless through 23 outs before being pulled at 101 pitches after allowing a solo home run to Ha-Seong Kim. The outing set a career high in strikeouts and marked his third straight start fanning eight or more batters, Through six appearances (37.2 innings), Abbott owns a perfect 4-0 record with a 1.21 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and a 42:13 K:BB. He's tentatively scheduled to take on the Brewers next, who strike out the fourth-most in MLB and rank 25th in runs per game.

Bradley yielded five runs on nine hits and a walk over 3.1 innings in Sunday's loss to Seattle. He struck out three and did not factor in the decision.

After serving up a solo homer to Eugenio Suarez in the second inning, Bradley coughed up four more runs in the third. It seemed like Bradley was settling into the MLB level with a 3.28 ERA over a five-start stretch but he's since been tagged with 11 earned runs over two outings. His season ERA has jumped to 5.11, though his 79:17 K:BB through 56.1 innings still looks impressive. The 22-year-old's next outing is projected to be a home matchup with Atlanta.

Castillo allowed six runs (five earned) on eight hits over six innings in Sunday's win over Tampa Bay. He struck out six and did not factor in the decision.

Castillo eventually settled in to toss three scoreless frames after yielding six runs in the first three innings Sunday. He fired 70 of 95 pitches for strikes, including 19 whiffs, his highest total since June 9. The five earned runs charged to him tied his season high; he posted a 2.32 ERA in seven starts between Sunday's start and May 16 when he was tagged with five earned runs against Boston. For the season, Castillo is sporting a 3.14 ERA and an impressive 114:28 K:BB through 17 starts. His next start is projected to be in Houston.

Taillon allowed six runs (five earned) on seven hits across five innings and did not factor into the decision in Sunday's extra-inning loss to the Guardians. He had no walks and struck out six.

The struggles continued for Taillon, who saw his season ERA climb above 7.00. He was able to miss some bats Sunday, but he allowed five earned runs for the second consecutive start. The righty has allowed at least four earned runs in four of his last five appearances. It's been a rough first season in Chicago for Taillon, who had a much stronger 3.91 ERA for the Yankees last year. He's penciled in to start again Friday against his old team in New York and should be avoided in that spot.
