Hill (0-2) took the loss Monday against Atlanta, yielding four runs on three hits and six walks over four innings with three strikeouts.

The veteran southpaw could not find the strike zone when it counted in this 81-pitch appearance, as he issued six or more free passes for the third time in his 21-year career. All four runs scored against Hill came on a pair of two-run long balls -- a 468-foot Ronald Acuna blast in the fourth and a 408-foot Marcell Ozuna homer in the fourth. In nine total innings across two starts, Hill has conceded seven runs (five earned) on nine hits and eight walks while striking out four. The 45-year-old currently lines up to make his next start on the road against Toronto this weekend.

Strider (5-8) picked up the win Monday at Kansas City, conceding two runs on seven hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out three.

The Atlanta right-hander did not have his sharpest stuff, as evidenced by his paltry five whiffs out of 96 total pitches. Strider gave up both runs during a three-hit first frame, as he worked around seven total hits allowed, which matched his season worst set July 4 against Baltimore. Across 77.2 total innings, the 26-year-old has pitched to a 3.71 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 92:32 K:BB while yielding 10 long balls. Strider currently lines up to make his next start during the MLB Speedway Classic at Bristol Motor Speedway against Cincinnati this weekend.

Boyd (11-4) took the loss Monday against the Brewers, allowing five runs on six hits and five walks in five innings. He struck out two.

The All-Star southpaw wasn't at his best Monday, establishing a season high in both runs and walks allowed. The two strikeouts represented his second-lowest total in a start this year, but Boyd was at least able to toss at least five frames in his 11th straight outing and 20th appearance of the campaign. Boyd has a 2.47 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 110:29 K:BB across 123.2 innings in 2025, and he'll aim to right the ship his next time out at home versus the Orioles this weekend.

Misiorowski didn't factor into the decision Monday against the Cubs, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks in four innings. He struck out seven.

Misiorowski continues to showcase dominant stuff, as he fanned at least seven in his third straight start, but he's struggled to work deep into outings. The rookie phenom has failed to fire at least five frames in three of his last four appearances, but he's conceded fewer than two runs in all but one of his first seven major-league starts. Misiorowski stills sports a 2.70 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 47:14 K:BB across 33.1 frames, and he'll try to provide more length his next time out this weekend against the Nationals.

Martin (3-8) picked up the win Monday against the Phillies, allowing two runs on six hits and three walks in 5.2 innings. He struck out seven.

Martin's steady campaign continued Monday, as he threw at least five innings in his eighth consecutive start. The right-hander also matched a season high in strikeouts, and he's now tossed at least five frames while yielding two runs or fewer on nine occasions among his 16 outings in 2025. Martin owns a quality 3.87 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 63:26 K:BB over 90.2 frames, and he's next set to take the hill this weekend against the Angels in Anaheim.

Burns (0-3) took the loss Monday against the Dodgers, conceding three runs on six hits and one walk over 5.2 innings with 10 strikeouts.

The rookie right-hander notched his third consecutive double-digit K performance but remains in search of his first win after six starts. Burns generated an astounding 21 whiffs out of his 91 total pitches. After allowing a run in the opening frame, the 22-year-old was steady until the fifth when Shohei Ohtani plated two additional runs on a double. Through 27.1 total innings, Burns sports an ugly 6.26 ERA and 1.54 WHIP; however, he has been unlucky as evidenced by a .400 BABIP against him, as he's pitched to a sterling 3.01 FIP and 45:12 K:BB. Burns currently lines up to make his next start during the MLB Speedway Classic at Bristol Motor Speedway against Atlanta this weekend.

Sanchez (9-3) took the loss Monday against the White Sox, allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk in 6.2 innings. He struck out five.

Sanchez's recent tear on the mound came to a halt, as Monday marked the first time in his last seven starts that he yielded greater than one run. The All-Star left-hander surrendered at least four runs for the first time since his April 6 start versus the Dodgers, but he did throw at least six frames in his 10th straight outing. Sanchez will bring a strong 2.55 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 139:33 K:BB over 130.2 innings into this weekend's scheduled start against the Tigers, who have a poor .621 OPS versus left-handed pitching since the start of July.

Yamamoto (9-7) allowed one run on four hits and two walks over seven innings to earn the win Monday at Cincinnati. He struck out nine.

The Japanese righty generated an impressive 21 whiffs out of 101 total pitches en route to tallying his sixth outing with nine or more Ks this season. Yamamoto collected his 12th quality start, as the only run he conceded came on a Gavin Lux groundout in the opening frame. In 116.1 total innings, the 26-year-old has pitched to a 2.48 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 133:39 K:BB while allowing 10 home runs. Yamamoto tentatively lines up to make his next appearance in the Dodgers' home series against the Cardinals next week.

Schlittler (1-1) took the loss Monday against the Rays, conceding three runs on seven hits and four walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out five.

The New York rookie stumbled out the gate, as Junior Caminero cracked a two-run blast in the opening frame. Schlittler then found a groove with three scoreless frames before conceding another run on a Josh Lowe single in the fifth. Through 14.2 total innings, the 24-year-old sports a 4.91 ERA, 1.84 WHIP and 15:9 K:BB with three home runs allowed. Schlittler's future in the Yankees rotation is uncertain because Luis Gil (lat) is expected to return after making his final rehab start with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.

Rasmussen (8-5) earned the win Monday against the Yankees, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks with five strikeouts over five innings.

The Tampa Bay righty picked up his first win since June 25, which is also the last time he threw five frames. The Rays have been throttling Rasmussen's innings lately, as his season total now stands at 100.1 after tossing just 73.1 frames over his previous two seasons due to injuries. It didn't look like Rasmussen would qualify for the win after walking home two runs in the opening frame; however, he settled in after and conceded just one additional run over four scoreless innings to wrap his 81-pitch outing. Rasmussen will carry a 2.96 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 87:25 K:BB into his next start against the Dodgers at home this weekend.
