Kirby allowed two runs on five hits and struck out three over six innings Sunday versus the Rangers. He walked none, and he didn't factor in the decision.

Through six starts, Kirby has shown impressive control, permitting just three walks in 32 innings. He's also logged three quality starts so far, though he has just a 1-1 record to show for it. The 24-year-old right-hander will carry a 3.38 ERA and 1.09 WHIP into his next start, tentatively set for a home matchup versus the Red Sox next weekend.

Gausman (5-4) yielded five runs (three earned) on nine hits and a walk over 3.2 innings, striking out three and taking a loss against the Twins on Sunday.

All five runs allowed by Gausman came during the first two innings, including three in the first. He's now given up three earned runs in each of his last two starts, raising his season ERA to 2.84 with an impressive 73:7 K:BB through 11 starts. The 31-year-old is 2-3 with a 3.71 ERA over his last five outings. Gausman is expected to start in Detroit next week.

Williams didn't factor into the decision during Sunday's 5-4 win against the Dodgers, allowing two runs on six hits with five strikeouts in five innings.

Williams calmed down after surrendering a two-run Trea Turner home run in the first inning to keep Los Angeles off the board while excelling with five whiffs in five innings. The 30-year-old has now limited the damage to two runs or fewer in five of his last six appearances, dropping his ERA from 8.59 to 3.58. Williams is scheduled to pitch again next weekend against the Angels.

Corbin (2-8) earned the victory Sunday in Cincinnati, striking out five in six innings while allowing three runs on nine hits.

After a tumultuous first inning during which Corbin allowed three runs on five hits, he settled down and held the Reds' lineup scoreless over the next five frames. It was just the third time in 12 starts that the lefty pitched at least six innings and allowed three or fewer runs. For the season, he has a 6.71 ERA and 1.76 WHIP, and opponents are hitting .318 against him in a season during which the league batting average is .240. His next start will likely be next weekend against Milwaukee.

Kremer (0-1) allowed three runs on five hits and a walk while striking out three in 4.1 innings to take the loss in Sunday's game against the Guardians.

Kremer made the Orioles' Opening Day roster this year, but he's been dealing with an oblique injury since early April that prevented him from pitching in the majors prior to Sunday. The righty gave up a three-run homer with two outs in the first inning, but he held the Guardians scoreless during the rest of his outing. In total, Kremer threw 67 pitches (46 strikes), but he took the loss in the low-scoring matchup. He tentatively lines up to make his next start on the road against Kansas City on Sunday.

Montas (2-6) took the loss during Sunday's 5-2 defeat at the hands of the Red Sox, allowing four runs (one earned) on six hits and one walk with seven strikeouts in six innings.

Montas was lucky to escape the first inning with only one run on his ledger despite four hits but didn't fare as well in the sixth, when a Kevin Smith error extended the inning and allowed for a go-ahead Franchy Cordero three-run home run. Oakland has now lost each of the 29-year-old's last nine even though Montas features a solid 2.87 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 61 strikeouts during those 53.1 innings. He'll look to get back in the win column against Cleveland next weekend.

Hill (2-3) earned the win during Sunday's 5-2 victory over Oakland, allowing one run on three hits with five strikeouts in six innings.

Hill surrendered one run on two hits in the first inning and proceeded to retire the next 16 batters before permitting a leadoff single in the seventh, prompting his removal. By game score, Sunday's start was the 42-year-old's second-best performance of the season and only his second quality start in 10 turns. Hill carries a 4.40 ERA and 1.18 WHIP into a projected start next weekend against Seattle.

Manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Kershaw's (pelvis) next start will be with the Dodgers, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Kershaw made a rehab start at Single-A Rancho Cucamonga on Sunday and allowed a run on three hits and a walk while striking out seven in four innings. He threw just 59 pitches during the start, so it's possible he's on a pitch count once he rejoins the Dodgers' rotation. It seems likely that Kershaw will be reinstated from the injured list to start June 12 on the road against the Giants.

Montgomery allowed two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out five in 6.1 innings during Sunday's win over the Tigers. He didn't factor into the decision.

Montgomery picked up his first win of the season during his last outing, but he settled for yet another no-decision Sunday despite posting his third consecutive quality start. Over the first two months of the season, the left-hander has posted a 3.02 ERA and 1.01 WHIP in 59.2 innings over 11 starts. Montgomery projects to make his next start at home against the Cubs on Saturday.

Feltner was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.

Feltner's record dropped to 1-2 following Sunday's start against Atlanta, as he allowed six runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out three in three innings. However, the right-hander posted a 2.25 ERA and 0.83 WHIP over 12 innings in his two starts prior to Sunday's outing, so he should still be in the mix to start next week when the Rockies need a sixth starter during Saturday's doubleheader in San Diego.
