Gibson allowed four runs (two earned) on eight hits and three walks over 4.1 innings against the Mets on Sunday. He struck out three and did not factor in the decision.

Gibson wasn't very efficient in Philadelphia's loss on Sunday, needing 105 pitches to record just 13 outs. Two runs scored against him on an error in the second inning before he allowed another run in each of the third and fourth frames. Gibson has been charged with fewer than four earned runs in seven of his last eight starts, posting a 3.21 ERA during that span. The veteran righty is lined up to face the Pirates at home next week.

Kremer allowed a run on five hits and two walks with four strikeouts in 5.1 innings, taking a no-decision versus the Red Sox on Sunday.

The only run against Kremer was on an Enrique Hernandez RBI single in the second inning. The Orioles' bullpen couldn't keep the lead, denying Kremer the chance to pick up wins in consecutive starts for the first time this year. He's still been fairly sharp lately, allowing seven runs in his last 24.1 innings. For the season, he owns a 3.45 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 59:18 K:BB through 75.2 innings across a career-high 14 starts. The 26-year-old righty is projected for a tough road start in Houston next weekend.

Cortes allowed a run on three hits and a walk while striking out five in six innings during Sunday's win over the Blue Jays. He didn't factor into the decision.

Cortes' strikeout numbers have dropped since striking out 10 batters against the Mariners on Aug. 10, but he posted a third consecutive quality start Sunday. The southpaw was forced to settle for a no-decision during the low-scoring matchup, and he's yet to earn a win over four starts in August. Cortes has posted a 2.80 ERA and 0.85 WHIP in 35.1 innings since the All-Star break and tentatively lines up to make his next start on the road against Oakland on Saturday.

Kelly allowed three runs on seven hits and three walks with six strikeouts across six innings in a no-decision versus the Cardinals on Sunday.

Kelly allowed three runs in the first inning but settled in after that and left with a one-run lead. The Diamondbacks' bullpen couldn't make it stick, sending the right-hander to his fifth straight no-decision. In that span, he's logged four quality starts, permitting just five runs with a 32:11 K:BB across 32 innings. The 33-year-old has a 2.87 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 128:47 K:BB through 150.1 innings across 25 starts overall. Kelly will look to get back in the win column next weekend in a road start versus the White Sox.

Woodford (2-0) allowed a hit in 1.1 scoreless innings to earn the win Sunday over the Diamondbacks.

Woodford got the last two outs in the sixth inning and the first two in the seventh, with the Cardinals pulling ahead in the seventh on a two-run Nolan Arenado single. This was just the second appearance Woodford's made since he was called up Aug. 11, and he's covered three scoreless frames in that span. The right-hander has a 2.66 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 13:8 K:BB through 23.2 innings in the majors this season as a multi-inning relief option.

Quintana allowed four runs (two earned) on seven hits and three walks across 2.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Diamondbacks on Sunday. He did not strike out a batter.

Quintana began his Cardinals career with two quality starts in three outings, but he didn't pitch well Sunday. He threw just 39 of 73 pitches for strikes and left after allowing four batters aboard in the third inning. His teammates picked him up from there, with the bullpen providing 6.1 innings of one-hit ball while the offense rallied ahead in the seventh inning to get him off the hook. Through 122.2 innings across 24 starts this year, Quintana has logged a 3.45 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 105:40 K:BB. He'll look to get back on track next weekend versus Atlanta.

Alcantara (11-6) allowed six runs on 10 hits and a walk while striking out five in 3.2 innings, taking the loss Sunday versus the Dodgers.

By all measures, Alcantara's first tangle with the Dodgers in 2022 was his worst start of the year. The six runs and 10 hits were season highs for the right-hander, who also failed to complete five innings for the first time all season. He's now allowed at least four runs in three of his last five outings, though he kept runs off the board in the other two in that stretch. The Marlins' ace has a 2.19 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 157:44 K:BB through 176.2 innings through 25 starts this season. He'll look to shake off this dud next weekend in a home rematch against the Dodgers.

Manoah allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits and two walks while striking out eight in six innings during Sunday's loss to the Yankees. He didn't factor into the decision.

Manoah was in line for the loss when he exited Sunday's matchup, but he was able to settle for the no-decision since the Blue Jays tied the game in the top of the seventh inning. The right-hander has been less sharp than usual over his last five starts, posting a 4.50 ERA in 28 innings while picking up just one win over that stretch. He projects to make his next start at home against the Angels on Saturday.

Pepiot (2-0) earned the win Sunday over the Marlins. He allowed two runs on four hits and two walks with seven strikeouts in six innings.

Pepiot put together his longest outing of the campaign while limiting the damage to a two-run home run by Lewin Diaz in the fourth inning. The seven strikeouts were a season high, while the two walks were his second-lowest mark in seven appearances. Pepiot has a 4.02 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 36:22 K:BB through 31.1 innings this year. J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports Clayton Kershaw (back) won't need a rehab assignment, but he's still over a week away from activation. Still, it's unclear if Pepiot will get another turn in the rotation after Dustin May made his return from Tommy John surgery Saturday, which gives the Dodgers six starters on their active roster.

Corbin (4-17) allowed two runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out three batters in 5.1 innings, taking the loss Sunday versus the Padres.

Corbin had given up at least four runs in seven straight starts entering Sunday, so this was a noticeable improvement. He yielded a two-run home run to former teammate Josh Bell in the sixth inning, and that was ultimately enough to send Corbin to the loss. The struggling southpaw has a 6.81 ERA, 1.81 WHIP and 108:44 K:BB through 121.2 innings through 25 starts this year. He's tentatively projected for a home start versus the Reds next weekend.
