Anderson did not factor into the decision in Monday's 7-5 loss to the Mets. He allowed four runs on four hits and five walks over six innings with four strikeouts.

The Los Angeles southpaw was solid through his first six innings, allowing just two runs on a Brett Baty homer in the fourth. Anderson then unraveled in the seventh, allowing the first two batters to reach before being removed after 87 total pitches -- reliever Reid Detmers subsequently allowed both inherited runners to score. This marks the fifth time in his last seven outings that Anderson has yielded three or more runs, as he now sports a 4.43 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 86:44 K:BB across 107.2 total frames. The 35-year-old will make his next start in the Angels' upcoming home series against Seattle this weekend.

Senga conceded four runs on four hits and three walks over three innings in a no-decision Monday against the Angels. He struck out five.

The Japanese right-hander struggled mightily in this 73-pitch outing, as he managed to notch only 39 strikes while his fastball averaged 93.6 mph (down from his season mark of 94.6). After allowing a solo homer to Logan O'Hoppe in the second inning, Senga surrendered three additional runs on three hits and two walks in the third, finishing his night. This performance raised the 32-year-old's ERA from 1.39 to 1.79 across 80.2 total innings. Assuming the velocity drop was not indicative of an underlying injury, Senga is currently slated to make his next start at San Francisco this weekend.

Rodon (10-7) took the loss Monday against the Blue Jays, giving up four runs (two earned) on six hits and five walks in five innings. He struck out four.

The five walks were a season high for Rodon, whose six hits allowed were his most since his June 14 start in Boston. The four strikeouts also tied a season low, but Rodon was able to complete at least five innings for the 21st time in as many starts despite having to fire his second-most pitches (107) of the year. Rodon will bring a strong 3.10 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 139:46 K:BB across 124.2 frames into his next scheduled outing in Philadelphia against the Phillies, who have a robust .818 OPS versus left-handed pitching since the start of July.

Flaherty (5-10) took the loss against the Pirates on Monday, allowing three runs on six hits and three walks with six strikeouts over three innings.

Flaherty generated 10 whiffs on 78 pitches but struggled with traffic, allowing at least two baserunners in every inning and surrendering three runs in the second. Despite the rocky outing, the 29-year-old has now yielded three earned runs or fewer with at least six punchouts in five straight starts. He'll take a 4.77 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 130:43 K:BB across 103.2 innings into a home matchup with the Blue Jays.

Gausman (7-7) recorded the win Monday against the Yankees, giving up one run on four hits and two walks in seven innings. He struck out eight.

Gausman threw at least five innings in his fifth straight start, and he also racked up at least eight punchouts for the fifth time this season. Monday represented the sixth instance of the year where the veteran right-hander hurled at least six innings while yielding one run or fewer as well. Gausman owns a respectable 4.01 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 112:36 K:BB across 116.2 innings, and he's next set to face a difficult task this weekend against the first-place Tigers in Detroit.

Winn (undisclosed) struck out a batter and allowed one hit and two walks over a scoreless inning Friday for Triple-A Sacramento after being reinstated from the 7-day injured list Thursday.

Winn was shut down April 22 due to an unspecified injury and made four rehab appearances before being reinstated coming out of the All-Star break. The 27-year-old righty has a spot on the Giants' 40-man roster, but he's likely far away from getting another look in the big leagues.

Enns tossed 2.2 scoreless innings of relief in Monday's 3-0 loss to the Pirates. He allowed three hits and struck out three.

Enns has now made three appearances out of Detroit's bullpen, and he's yet to allow any runs across seven innings of work. The lefty didn't fare as well in two starts for the Tigers, but he could be settling in as an effective long reliever. While the improved performance is promising, Enns is in a fairly low-leverage role with limited fantasy upside at the moment, though he could take on more prominent work if he continues to pitch well.

Skenes (5-8) earned the win against the Tigers on Monday, allowing three hits and one walk while striking out six over six scoreless innings.

Despite reports that his innings could be managed down the stretch, Skenes needed just 86 pitches to log his first quality start since June 19 and first win since May 28. The All-Star starter has been dominant in July, allowing just two earned runs with a stellar 27:2 K:BB over four outings. He'll carry a 1.91 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 137:31 K:BB across 127 innings into a home matchup with the Diamondbacks this weekend.

Buehler didn't factor into the decision Monday against the Phillies, giving up two runs (one earned) on six hits and one walk in seven innings. He struck out four.

Buehler tallied his second straight quality start and just his sixth of the season so far, and he pounded the zone for 61 strikes among his 89 pitches. Monday also marked the third time this year that the 30-year-old right-hander tossed at least six innings while allowing one earned run or fewer, but he's failed to post at least five punchouts in any of his last six outings. Buehler holds a 5.72 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 67:36 K:BB over 85 frames, and he remains a mostly hit-or-miss fantasy option ahead of a scary matchup versus the Dodgers slated for this weekend.

Wheeler didn't factor into the decision Monday against the Red Sox, giving up two runs on seven hits and no walks in six innings. He struck out 10.

Wheeler registered double-digit strikeouts for the third time in his last four starts, also recording a whopping 22 whiffs in the process. The All-Star right-hander has now thrown at least five innings in each of his first 20 outings of the season and continues to be a workhorse in Philadelphia's rotation, having now reached the century mark in pitches on 12 occasions as well. Wheeler sports a 2.39 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 164:26 K:BB over 128 frames, and his next appearance is slated for this weekend in a tough matchup against the Yankees in the Bronx.
