Senzatela (3-9) was credited with the win in Sunday's 5-0 victory over the Dodgers, allowing two hits and a walk with five strikeouts across seven scoreless innings.

Senzatela was brilliant Sunday, recording more strikeouts than baserunners permitted against a potent Los Angeles lineup. The 26-year-old righty retired the first 12 batters he faced and needed just 90 pitches to navigate seven strong innings. Senzatela concludes August with a 2.97 ERA in five starts and lines up to face Atlanta next weekend.

Gray (forearm) is expected to test his injury during a throwing session Monday, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports.

Gray left Saturday's start against the Dodgers due to right forearm tightness, and manager Bud Black said Sunday that the 29-year-old is questionable for his next turn through the rotation, which would come Thursday at home versus Atlanta. The Rockies should have a better idea of the right-hander's status based on how he feels following Monday's throwing session.

Anderson (6-5) allowed four hits and two walks over 5.2 shutout innings while earning a win over the Giants on Sunday.

Surprisingly, Anderson managed to produce his first scoreless outing since June 21 despite not striking out a single batter. It was his first appearance since July 11 after a stint on the injured list with a shoulder issue. He took care of the Giants' lineup with relative ease as he never allowed an extra-base hit. Anderson now owns a 3.36 ERA through 101.2 innings. He's projected to start in Colorado next weekend.

Mahle (10-5) allowed two runs on four hits and two walks over seven innings Sunday, striking out six and taking a loss against the Marlins.

Mahle coughed up a two-run shot to Jesus Sanchez in the first inning but settled in to toss six shutout frames after. Aside from the homer, the other three hits he allowed were singles. The 26-year-old has allowed two or fewer runs in four of his last five starts, lowing his season ERA to 3.64 through 148.1 innings. Mahle is lined up to face Detroit at home next weekend.

Greinke (11-5) allowed six earned runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out one across four innings, taking the loss to the Rangers on Sunday.

Greinke tied his season-high six runs allowed in just four innings. He was relieved after allowing a leadoff home run in the fifth inning to DJ Peters. The 37-year-old had allowed six runs in 25 innings over his prior four starts. His ERA and WHIP rose to 3.66 and 1.15 in 159.2 innings this season. In contrast, his K/9 dropped to 6.2 after he struck out just one Ranger on Sunday.

Luzardo (5-7) allowed a hit and a walk over six scoreless innings Sunday, striking out eight and earning a win over the Reds.

Luzardo got off to a shaky start, yielding a double and a walk to the first two batters of the game. Over the next five innings, only one Red would reach base and it was due to a fielding error. It's just the second time this year that the 23-year-old southpaw finished at least six innings, and he matched his season high of eight strikeouts. He's now 3-3 since joining the Marlins despite an unsightly 7.62 ERA during that span. Luzardo is lined up to face the Phillies at home next weekend.

Megill (2-3) allowed two runs on a hit and three walks with five strikeouts in five innings, earning the win over Washington on Sunday.

The only damage on Megill's line came in the form of a two-run home run by Josh Bell in the fourth inning. The 26-year-old right-hander has been inconsistent in August, picking up just one win in six starts while allowing four or more runs three times. He has a 4.04 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 70:18 K:BB across 64.2 innings spanning 13 starts overall. Megill lines up for a road rematch in Washington next weekend.

Berrios (9-7) allowed an unearned run on six hits and struck out 11 in seven innings to earn the win Sunday versus Detroit.

After allowing 13 runs (12 earned) across his last three starts, this was an encouraging bounce-back effort for Berrios. The right-hander gave up his lone run in the sixth inning after an error. He's gone 2-2 in six starts with Toronto since he was acquired from Minnesota at the trade deadline. Berrios has a 3.53 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 162:40 K:BB across 153 innings overall. He lines up for a home start versus Oakland next weekend.

Boyd (3-7) took the loss Sunday versus Toronto. He allowed two runs on four hits and two walks with five strikeouts in four innings.

After an absence of two-and-a-half months due to triceps tendinitis, Boyd had a middling performance in his return. The two runs he allowed came on solo home runs by Bo Bichette and Kevin Smith, but Detroit's offense mustered just one run of support. Boyd threw 71 pitches (44 strikes) in the contest, up from 56 pitches in his final rehab start with Triple-A Toledo. The southpaw has a 3.50 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 61:21 K:BB through 74.2 innings this season. He's projected to make his next start in Cincinnati next weekend.

German (shoulder) played catch this weekend and could soon throw a bullpen session, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

It was previously reported German was expected to throw a bullpen session this weekend, but he apparently wasn't quite ready for mound work after experiencing some soreness following a bullpen session Aug. 18. The 29-year-old will need to continue ramping up his throwing program to have a chance of rejoining the Yankees for the stretch run.
