Toussaint was traded from Atlanta to the Angels in exchange for cash considerations Sunday.

Toussaint was designated for assignment by Atlanta on Saturday, but he'll quickly find a spot on the Angels' 40-man roster. The right-hander was once a prized prospect but will need to prove himself at Triple-A Salt Lake after he posted a 6.26 ERA and 1.26 WHIP in 41.2 innings over 13 appearances (eight starts) in the minors to begin the year.

Baz (1-1) allowed one run on seven hits and two walks over six innings Sunday, striking out seven and earning a win over Toronto.

The lone run given up by Baz came during the third inning on Vladimir Guerrero's RBI single. After coughing up five runs in his season debut, the 23-year-old righty has allowed three runs with a 26:6 K:BB over his last 22.1 frames. He lowered his season ERA to 2.92 with 28 punchouts through five outings. Baz is lined up to start in Cincinnati next weekend.

Wacha (arm) has been scratched from Monday's scheduled start against the Rays, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Manager Alex Cora hinted Sunday that Wacha might not make his scheduled start due to dead arm, and he'll officially be held out against Tampa Bay. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return or whether he'll require a trip to the injured list. However, Austin Davis will start a bullpen game for the Red Sox on Monday.

Gallen didn't factor into the decision during Sunday's 6-5 loss to Colorado, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks with four strikeouts in six innings.

Gallen cruised through the first five frames but encountered trouble in the sixth when C.J. Cron tagged him for a two-out, three-run shot that cut into the five-run lead. The bullpen would go on to blow the lead and prevent the 26-year-old from his first win since May 30 despite logging his fourth quality start during the six-game stretch. He'll try for his elusive fifth win next weekend with a rematch against Colorado currently on the schedule.

Montgomery (3-2) yielded one run on three hits and three walks over five innings Sunday, striking out eight and taking a loss against Cleveland.

The lone damage against Montgomery came in the fourth inning on Franmil Reyes' solo shot. The 29-year-old was tagged with a loss anyway as the Yankees were one-hit by Triston McKenzie and the Guardians' bullpen. Despite allowing nine runs over his previous two outings, Sunday's loss was Montgomery's first since April 21. He'll carry a 3.19 ERA into his projected matchup in Boston next week.

Skubal (5-7) allowed five runs on five hits and three walks while striking out one in 4.2 innings to take the loss in Sunday's game against the Royals.

Skubal has been charged with the loss in five consecutive starts, and he's failed to last longer than five innings in any of those appearances. The southpaw had a season-low one strikeout during Sunday's start, and the Royals were able to jump out to an early lead. Over his last five outings, he's posted a 9.00 ERA in 23 innings. Skubal projects to make his next start on the road against the White Sox on Friday.

McKenzie (5-6) gave up one hit and one walk over seven scoreless frames Sunday, striking out seven and earning a win over the Yankees.

McKenzie retired 10 straight batters to begin the game before allowing a pair of baserunners in the fourth inning. He danced around that small threat, and the Guardians' staff ended up one-hitting the Yankees in the 2-0 victory. McKenzie went 1-2 with an unsightly 6.44 ERA and 1.36 WHIP in five June starts. He lowered his season ERA to 3.71 with his first scoreless outing since May 1. McKenzie is lined up for a start in Kansas City next week.

Singer allowed two runs on six hits and three walks while striking out nine in 4.2 innings during Sunday's win over the Tigers. He didn't factor into the decision.

Singer had his shortest start of the season during Sunday's outing, but he matched his season-high mark in strikeouts during the victory. In spite of his strong strikeout rate, he was held out of the win column for a fourth consecutive outing. The right-hander has given up at least seven runs in each of his last seven starts, and he's posted a 5.54 ERA and 1.33 WHIP in 39 innings during that time. He tentatively lines up to make his next start at home against the Guardians on Friday.

Matz (shoulder) made the second start of his rehab assignment Saturday with Triple-A Memphis, striking out three over three innings while allowing one earned run on four hits and no walks.

Pitching on three days' rest after making a two-inning rehab start for Memphis on Wednesday, Matz was capped at 45 pitches Saturday. He'll likely require at least one or two more outings in the minors to ramp up his pitch count before the Cardinals activate him from the 15-day injured list and reinstall him in the rotation.

Woodruff (7-3) allowed six hits over six scoreless innings Sunday, striking out eight and earning a win over Pittsburgh.

Woodruff allowed just one extra-base hit in Sunday's dominant outing. After a month-long stint on the injured list, the 29-year-old righty has won his last two starts while posting an 18:0 K:BB and allowing just one run. On the year, he's sporting a 71:13 K:BB with a 3.95 ERA through 54.2 frames. Woodruff is lined up for a rematch against the Pirates at home next week.
