Hoglund didn't factor into the decision Sunday against Philadelphia, allowing three runs on four hits and three walks across five innings. He struck out two.

Hoglund set a season low in strikeouts Sunday and walked multiple batters for a third consecutive outing. The rookie's ERA has ballooned to 5.13 through five starts despite allowing just three runs over 11.1 innings during his first two appearances. Hoglund notched a 10:1 K:BB in his first two outings but now owns a 22:9 K:BB overall. He'll look to bounce back next time out, though he's tentatively scheduled for a matchup in Toronto against the Blue Jays, who average 4.54 runs per game at home.

Darvish (elbow) felt tightness in his elbow following his rehab start with Triple-A El Paso on May 14 and doesn't feel ready to pitch in a big-league game, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

While Darvish is still playing catch and isn't feeling pain in his throwing elbow, it's nonetheless concerning that the veteran hurler has essentially had his rehab stint halted after throwing 51 pitches over four innings with El Paso in his lone appearance. Per Acee, sources indicate that Darvish hasn't suffered a setback, but the 38-year-old doesn't feel confident that he would be able to recover well enough between starts to justify being activated from the injured list and rejoining San Diego's rotation. The expectation is that Darvish will be examined during the coming week to determine if his elbow is structurally sound, and the results of that consultation should provide more clarity about what the path forward looks like for the Japanese pitcher.

Henderson did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing one run on five hits and two walks over five innings against Pittsburgh. He struck out six.

The rookie right-hander surrendered a solo homer to Oneil Cruz but otherwise scattered four singles and two walks. Henderson exited with a 3-1 lead but missed out on his fourth straight victory as the Brewers bullpen promptly squandered the advantage. Still, the 23-year-old has been nearly flawless in his first four MLB starts with a 1.71 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 29:6 K:BB across 21 innings. Henderson will have a tough task for his next turn through the rotation, however, as he lines up for a road matchup with the Phillies.

Falter did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing three runs (two earned) on four hits and three walks over 5.2 innings in a 6-5 loss against the Brewers. He struck out one.

Falter surrendered three runs during the opening frame but settled down from there, though he fell an out short of his sixth quality start of the year since he was pulled after giving up a two-out single in the sixth inning. The left-hander's single punchout was a season low, but he's still given up just three earned runs across his past five starts. That strong stretch leaves him with a 3.47 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 40:21 K:BB through 59.2 innings this year. Falter is tentatively scheduled for a tough road matchup with the Padres next weekend.

Allen (2-3) took the loss Sunday in Detroit after giving up five runs (four earned) on six hits and four walks over 3.2 innings. He struck out two.

The left-hander kept the Tigers off the board through three innings but fell apart in the fourth, as Detroit scored five runs on five hits, a hit-by-pitch and an error. Allen has now failed to cover five frames in three of his past four starts, though it's worth noting that one of those outings was cut short due to inclement weather. The 26-year-old has a 4.31 ERA through 10 starts this year, and his 1.63 WHIP and 36:25 K:BB aren't encouraging.

Gray did not factor in the decision during Sunday's win over Arizona. He allowed three runs on nine hits over six innings while striking out five.

Gray coughed up a pair of runs in the first inning but settled in for the most part after that. He kept the Diamondbacks in check until Pavin Smith drove in Eugenio Suarez in the sixth. Gray has produced quality starts in three of his last four outings and has six on the year. He now owns a 4.06 ERA with a 66:13 K:BB through 62 frames. Gray has not been taken deep in either of his last two outings after coughing up three long balls in Philadelphia on May 14. His next matchup is projected to be on the road against the Rangers.

Pfaadt did not factor in the decision during Sunday's loss to St. Louis. He yielded three runs on five hits and a walk over 5.2 innings while striking out five.

Pfaadt gave up a run in each of the first, third and sixth innings, including Masyn Winn's solo shot in the third. Pfaadt has been taken deep five times in his last three outings after giving up just three home runs in his previous six starts. He struck out 41 batters through 46.2 frames to begin the year but has since punched out only eight batters in 15.2 innings. He now owns a 3.90 ERA across 11 starts. He's currently in line for a home tilt against the Nationals next weekend.

Senga (5-3) earned the win Sunday against the Dodgers, allowing one run on five hits and four walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out five.

The New York right-hander toiled a bit against the vaunted Dodgers, generating just seven whiffs out of 101 total pitches. The lone blemish on Senga's performance was a leadoff homer conceded to Shohei Ohtani. Despite an elevated walk rate (4.2 K/9) across 55.2 innings, Senga has yet to allow more than three runs in any outing. He'll carry a 1.46 ERA and 1.24 WHIP into his next start, which is currently slated to be against the feeble Rockies at home next weekend.

Gordon did not factor in the decision during Sunday's win over the Mariners. He allowed three runs on seven hits over five innings while striking out four.

Gordon struggled out of the gate, giving up all three runs in the first three frames. Mitch Garver knocked a two-run double in the first inning, and Donovan Solano drove in another run in the third. Gordon has given up exactly three runs in each of his first three MLB outings, resulting in a 5.52 ERA over 14.2 innings. His average fastball was down to 90.6 mph Sunday, and he forced just eight swinging strikes on 84 total pitches. Gordon is currently projected to face the Rays at home next weekend.

Knack (2-2) took the loss in Sunday's contest against the Mets. He yielded three runs (one earned) on four hits and no walks over six innings with five strikeouts.

The Los Angeles right-hander secured his first quality start of the season with this 91-pitch performance in Queens. After allowing two unearned runs on a Pete Alonso homer in the opening frame, Knack handcuffed the Mets across the next five innings, allowing just one run on three hits. With this effort, Knack lowered his season ERA from 6.17 to 5.22 across 29.1 innings. The 27-year-old should continue to stick in the Dodgers rotation either as a starter or bulk reliever. He currently lines up for a difficult test in his next appearance, scheduled to be against the Yankees at home next weekend.
