Darvish did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing four runs on nine hits over six innings against the Giants. He struck out nine.

Darvish fell victim to the high altitude of Mexico City, allowing a trio of solo home runs to LaMonte Wade, J.D. Davis and Mitch Haniger in separate innings. However, he was able to salvage the outing by allowing just one other run while also striking out nine. Darvish's swing-and-miss arsenal has been inconsistent this season, with 21 of his 34 punchouts coming from two appearances. He is tentatively scheduled to make his next start Saturday against the hard-hitting Dodgers.

Gray (2-4) earned the win Sunday, allowing one run on three hits and three walks over six innings against the Pirates. He struck out six.

Gray was tagged for five runs in his first start of the year, but he's been excellent since, allowing two runs or fewer in his last five outings. His ERA is down to 2.67 with a 1.28 WHIP and 31:13 K:BB. Gray's been able to limit hard contact this year, moving his ground ball rate from 34 percent last season to 45 percent through his first 33.2 innings this year. He'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, tentatively scheduled for next week in Arizona.

Urquidy was removed from Sunday's start against the Phillies due to right shoulder soreness, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Urquidy exited Sunday's matchup with a trainer in the top of the sixth inning, and manager Dusty Baker revealed after the game that the right-hander has been diagnosed with a sore shoulder. Urquidy will see a doctor Monday, which will likely give the team a better idea of his status. If he's able to make his next start, he projects to take the mound in Seattle next weekend.

Suarez (1-1) earned the win during Sunday's 3-0 victory over Milwaukee, tossing five scoreless innings in which he allowed two hits and three walks. He struck out six.

Suarez allowed seven runs, including five homers, his last time out, but he was given another shot in the rotation and came through with his best outing of the campaign. The left-hander's ERA dropped from 10.26 to 7.89, and his six strikeouts were a season high. Despite the solid bounce back, the 25-year-old is likely still on the hot seat and could be in danger of being demoted to the bullpen or Triple-A if he struggles in his next start.

Rea (0-2) took the loss during Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Angels, allowing two runs on three hits and one walk over five innings. He struck out nine.

Rea got through five innings for a fourth straight start and recorded a season-high nine strikeouts, but he suffered a second consecutive loss. Overall, the results have been solid for Rea, who's replaced Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) in the Brewers' rotation. While Woodruff isn't expected to return until the end of June, Adrian Houser (groin) is nearing his season debut after starting the campaign on a rehab stint in the minors, so Rea's time in the majors could be limited unless Milwaukee opts to go to a six-man rotation.

Urquidy exited Sunday's start against the Phillies in the top of the sixth inning due to an apparent injury, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Urquidy appeared to hurt himself while throwing a changeup with one out in the top of the sixth inning, and he was removed from the game after talking with a trainer. Prior to his departure, the right-hander was relatively effective after struggling in his last two starts. He allowed two runs on three hits and a walk while striking out three in 5.1 innings against Philadelphia, and it's unclear whether his injury will prevent him from making his next start, which tentatively lines up for next weekend in Seattle.

Bradish did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk over 4.2 innings during a 5-3 win over the Tigers. He struck out five.

Bradish was sharp through four straight scoreless frames, but he allowed a two-run homer and an RBI double in the fifth before getting pulled with two on and two out. It was a solid bounce back for the right-hander, who was tagged for seven runs over 2.1 innings last time out, but the results continue to be sporadic after a brief stint on the injured list. Bradish's next start is projected for Baltimore's upcoming three-game stint in Atlanta.

Turnbull (1-4) took the loss Sunday, allowing three runs (two earned) on five hits and two walks over four innings during a 5-3 loss to the Orioles. He struck out three.

Turnbull allowed two or fewer earned runs for the third time over his past four starts, but he still picked up his fourth loss. He threw just 50 of his 83 pitches for strikes and issued multiple walks for the fifth time over six starts. Turnbull's ERA actually dropped from 7.25 to 6.84, but he still doesn't look like the pitcher he was in 2021, when he posted a 2.88 ERA over nine starts (50 innings) before undergoing Tommy John surgery.

Bassitt did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing four runs on two hits and four walks over five innings in a 10-8 loss against the Mariners. He struck out seven.

After back-to-back strikeouts to start the game, Bassitt walked two and hit a batter before surrendering a grand slam to Taylor Trammell. The right-hander was able to settle down after getting through the first and was in line for the win after four straight scoreless frames. Sunday's performance marked just the second time Bassitt failed to get through six innings and snapped a run of four straight outings with two or fewer earned runs. Bassitt's next start is tentatively scheduled versus the Pirates, who are tied for fourth in MLB in runs per game (5.5).

Gonzales did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing eight runs (five earned) on eight hits and one walk over three innings during a 10-8 win over the Blue Jays in extras. He struck out two.

Gonzales was spotted a four-run lead in the top of the first, but he surrendered multiple runs in each of his three frames and was in line for the loss before Seattle made a late-inning comeback. The left-hander had been solid over his previous three starts (four total earned runs over 16.2 innings) after a shaky opening to the campaign, but Sunday's performance was his worst outing thus far and raised his ERA from 3.32 to 4.74. Things don't get easier for Gonzales, whose next start is scheduled during a three-game set with the Astros.
