Gray did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing six runs on six hits and three walks over 2.1 innings against the Blue Jays. He struck out two.

Gray struggled mightily Sunday, lasting just 2.1 innings after throwing seven or more frames in five of his previous six appearances. Over that six-start stretch, Gray posted a 1.99 ERA to pair with a 46:9 K:BB across 45.1 innings. Considering he hadn't allowed more than four runs in a game prior to Sunday's start, fantasy managers should expect Gray to bounce back. However, he's tentatively lined up for a tough start against the Yankees at Yankee Stadium next week.

Varland (3-3) took the loss Sunday, allowing six runs on nine hits and two walks over 4.1 innings against the Tigers. He struck out four.

Most of the damage came in the fifth, as the Tigers put up five runs in the frame including back-to-back homers by Spencer Torkelson and Kerry Carpenter. Varland has struggled in the month of June, allowing 17 runs over 15 innings (three starts) while also serving up five home runs. Though he is expected to be bumped from the rotation when Kenta Maeda (triceps) is removed from the 15-day injured list, Varland will likely have at least one more go-around as a starter and is tentatively lined up for a rematch with the Tigers next week.

Severino fell to 0-2 after yielded four runs (three earned) on seven hits and three walks while striking out six across five innings in a 4-1 loss to the Red Sox in the second game of a doubleheader Sunday.

Severino allowed one run through three innings before the Red Sox brought home three runs in the next two frames. After a solid start to his 2023 campaign, the 29-year-old has coughed up 19 earned runs over his last 18.2 innings, driving his season ERA up to 6.30 through six starts. On the bright side, Sunday's outing was the first time he didn't allow a home run since his season debut May 21. Severino's next outing is projected to be at home against the Rangers.

Bello improved to 4-4 in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Yankees in the second game of a doubleheader, striking out eight while allowing one run on four hits and three walks over seven innings.

Bello yielded a run in the first inning before settling in for a dominant performance. He struck out a career-high eight batters while tying his season best with 16 whiffs. After coughing up eight runs over his first two starts, Bello has given up three or fewer runs in nine straight starts, registering a 2.60 ERA during that span. The second-year righty now owns a 3.49 ERA and a 57:20 K:BB through 59.1 frames. Bello's next outing is lined up to be a road matchup with the White Sox.

Webb (6-6) allowed two runs on eight hits and two walks over seven innings Sunday, striking out five and earning a win over the Dodgers.

Webb tossed three scoreless frames before the Dodgers plated a run in each of the fourth and fifth innings. It was the first time he allowed fewer than three runs since May 27, and he dropped his season ERA to 3.11. After starting the year 0-4, Webb is 6-2 with a 2.53 ERA over his last 11 starts. He'll carry a 96:19 K:BB into his next start, which is projected to be at home against the Diamondbacks.

Gonsolin (4-2) yielded seven runs on six hits and three walks over 5.2 innings Sunday, striking out seven and taking a loss against the Giants.

Gonsolin looked strong through three perfect frames before things began to unravel. While it was his first time allowing more than three runs in an outing this year, he also racked up a season-high seven punchouts. Gonsolin had registered a 1.93 ERA while going 4-0 over his previous six starts before Sunday. Despite the poor outing, Gonsolin is sporting a 2.92 ERA with a 43:21 K:BB across 10 starts. His next start is lined up to be at home against the Astros.

Miller (5-3) allowed one run on four hits over seven innings Sunday, striking out six and earning a win over the White Sox.

Miller rolled through five shutout frames before the White Sox finally broke through with a run in the sixth inning. After coughing up 15 runs in a pair of losses, the right-handed rookie has allowed just two runs over 13 innings in his last two appearances. His season ERA is back down to 3.68 with a 45:8 K:BB across 51.1 frames. Miller's next start is projected to be in Baltimore.

Lynn recorded a career-high 16 strikeouts but dropped to 4-8 on the season in Sunday's 5-1 loss to Seattle after allowing three runs on four hits and two walks over seven-plus innings.

Lynn turned in his most impressive outing of the season -- and his 16 punchouts represented the highest total of any pitcher in 2023 -- but he was still saddled with his third straight loss. He forced an unbelievable 33 whiffs on 114 pitches while recording his third double-digit strikeout performance of the year. The veteran righty lowered his ERA to 6.51 with a 102:33 K:BB through 84.1 frames this season. Lynn's next outing is currently lined up to be at home against Boston.

Davies (1-3) allowed nine runs (eight earned) on nine hits and a walk while striking out two over 3.2 innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Guardians.

Davies has hit a brutal skid, allowing 15 runs (12 earned) over 6.2 innings across his last two starts. He's completed six innings just once in seven appearances this season, and he's lost three of his five starts since returning from an oblique injury. The right-hander now has a 7.11 ERA, 1.74 WHIP and 28:14 K:BB through 31.2 innings on the year. He'll look to get back on track in a projected road start versus the surging Giants.

Greinke (1-7) took the loss Sunday, allowing four runs on eight hits and one walk over five innings against the Angels. He struck out four.

Greinke fell victim to the Angels superstar duo, serving up back-to-back home runs to Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout in the fifth inning. Though Greinke owns a 4.81 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 1.6 HR/9, he has issued just 10 free passes through 15 starts (76.2 innings), the fourth fewest of any starter with at least eight starts. He's lined up to make his next appearance during a four-game road series against the Rays next week.
