Abbott (3-0) yielded four hits and three walks over five shutout innings Sunday, striking out five and earning a win over the Guardians.

Abbott kept Cleveland scoreless for five frames but needed to work around some danger, including a bases-loaded threat in the first inning. He tied his season high with 96 pitches and forced 16 swinging strikes, including eight with his fastball. Abbott has allowed fewer than two runs in six of his seven starts this season, resulting in a terrific 1.80 ERA and a 43:15 K:BB through 35 frames. His next matchup is expected to be at home against the Cubs.

Bello (2-1) took the loss against Atlanta on Sunday, allowing seven runs on 10 hits and five walks with three strikeouts over 4.1 innings

Bello dealt with constant traffic on the basepaths and managed just 52 strikes on 92 pitches, generating only four whiffs. After allowing only seven earned runs over his first five starts, the 26-year-old has now failed to complete five innings in three consecutive outings. He'll carry a 4.02 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and 20:19 K:BB across 31.1 innings into a home matchup with the Orioles next weekend.

Schwellenbach (3-3) earned the win against the Red Sox on Sunday, allowing four runs on six hits and one walk with three strikeouts over seven innings.

Schwellenbach surrendered a grand slam to Rafael Devers in the third inning but otherwise turned in six scoreless frames. The 24-year-old needed just 81 pitches to notch his second consecutive seven-inning outing, though he's recorded only six strikeouts over those two starts. He'll carry a 3.52 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 49:12 K:BB across 61.1 innings into a home matchup with the Padres next weekend.

Berrios did not factor in the decision during Sunday's loss to Detroit. He yielded two runs on eight hits and a walk over six innings while striking out four.

Berrios wasn't at his sharpest and had to work out of a few jams during his quality start. He coughed up a two-run double to Spencer Torkelson in the first inning before delivering five scoreless frames. Berrios has turned in five quality starts this season and four over his last six appearances. During that six-start stretch, he's produced a 3.57 ERA, dropping his season number to 4.19 across 58 innings. Berrios is projected to start in Tampa Bay next weekend.

Kelly (5-2) picked up the win Sunday against Colorado, allowing one hit and three walks with 11 strikeouts over seven scoreless innings.

Kelly dominated the Rockies, tossing his first scoreless start of 2025 and setting season-best marks in hits allowed and strikeouts. The 36-year-old has been stellar this year outside of a blowup start against the Yankees on April 3, owning a 1.99 ERA and a 50:12 K:BB over 54.1 innings in his other appearances. He's expected to take the mound again next weekend during a road series against the Cardinals.

Dollander (2-5) took the loss Sunday against Arizona, allowing one run on three hits and two walks with six strikeouts across 4.2 innings.

Dollander and Merrill Kelly were locked into a pitchers' duel Sunday, and Ketel Marte's first-inning solo home run proved to be the difference in Colorado's 1-0 loss. Dollander got off to a rough start to the season, logging a 7.91 ERA in his first four starts. However, he's allowed two or fewer runs in three of his last four outings and has allowed just four hits with 13 strikeouts over his last two starts. He's scheduled to face the Yankees at Coors Field next weekend.

Jobe (4-0) allowed two runs on six hits and two walks over six innings Sunday, striking out five and earning a win over Toronto.

Jobe worked through three scoreless innings before the Blue Jays plated a pair of runs in the fourth. It was his second quality start of the year and first since April 12 in Minnesota. Jobe tossed 52 of 90 pitches for strikes and generated 12 whiffs. He produced 14 in his last outing, which was the first time he hit double-digits in his MLB career. Jobe now owns a 4.12 ERA with a 32:22 K:BB through eight starts. He's projected to face Cleveland at home for his next outing.

Gonsolin didn't factor into the decision during Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Angels, allowing four runs on four hits and five walks with three strikeouts over four innings.

Per Sonja Chen of MLB.com, Gonsolin picked some dead skin off the thumb on his throwing hand following his pregame bullpen, which led to frequent bleeding while he was on the mound. As a result, he walked five batters, matching his previous career high that was set in 2021. Gonsolin missed the first month of the season due to a back injury, but the veteran right-hander has made four straight starts since being activated. Sunday's outing ballooned his ERA from 2.81 to 4.05. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Mets in New York next weekend.

Abel (1-0) yielded five hits over six shutout frames Sunday, striking out nine and earning a win over the Pirates.

Abel was promoted for his MLB debut Sunday and put on a clinic. He fired 62 of 84 pitches for strikes and threw 16 first-pitch strikes to the 22 batters he faced. Abel generated 18 whiffs, including eight with his curveball and seven with a fastball that averaged 97.3 mph. The 23-year-old posted a 6.46 ERA through 108.2 frames with Triple-A Lehigh Valley in 2024, but he hit his stride this season with a 2.53 ERA across 46.1 innings before his promotion. It's unclear what the Phillies plan to do with Abel, but his next turn in the rotation would likely be on the road against the Athletics next weekend if he gets another start.

Skenes (3-5) allowed one run on three hits and a walk over eight innings Sunday, striking out nine and taking a loss against the Phillies.

Skenes was in elite form Sunday and completed eight innings for the second time in his MLB career. He didn't allow a hit until the fifth inning and gave up just three singles in the outing. Skenes tossed 71 of 102 pitches for strikes and generated a career-high 22 whiffs, including seven with his fastball that averaged 98.2 mph. Since coughing up five runs against the Cardinals on April 8, he's produced a 2.03 ERA with a 42:13 K:BB over his last seven outings. Skenes has produced a quality start in three of his five losses this season. He'll carry a 2.44 ERA into his next matchup, which is lined up to be at home against the Brewers.
