Bubic (8-6) allowed three hits and a walk over five scoreless innings Sunday, striking out two and earning a win over the Marlins.

Bubic cruised through five shutout innings on just 66 pitches with little threat from Miami. He left with a 6-0 lead, which may be part of the reason he didn't go deeper in the contest, but his velocity was also down across the board. Specifically, his fastball averaged just 90.5 mph, down from his usual 92.3 mph. Bubic posted a 4.86 ERA in his last six outings before the All-Star break but still owns a terrific 2.38 ERA with a 115:35 K:BB over 113.2 innings. He's currently lined up for a home matchup with Cleveland next weekend.

Estevez recorded one out and earned a save against the Marlins on Sunday.

The Royals were up 7-0 in the ninth inning before Andrew Hoffmann coughed up four runs, creating a save opportunity for Estevez. Estevez gave up an infield single before finishing off the victory to earn his 26th save of the year. He blew three straight save chances before converting Sunday, and he's now 26-for-32 in save opportunities this season. Estevez owns a 2.74 ERA with a 35:15 K:BB across 42.2 frames.

Yarbrough (oblique) began a throwing program July 9 but hasn't yet thrown from a mound, per MLB.com.

Yarbrough landed on the injured list June 22 after being diagnosed with a right oblique strain. The left-hander was initially shut down from throwing before beginning a progression July 9. However, Yarbrough's ramp-up has been slow, as he hasn't yet advanced to tossing from a mound. With that in mind, the veteran hurler probably won't be ready to return to the Yankees until sometime in August.

Gil (lat) tossed 3.1 innings Friday in a rehab appearance with Double-A Somerset, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks while striking out seven batters.

As in his first rehab outing, Gil completed exactly 3.1 frames, though he upped his pitch count from 50 to 57 on Friday. While he's allowed two homers over 6.2 innings in his pair of minor-league outings so far, the right-hander has also flashed dominant stuff with 13 punchouts. Per MLB.com, Gil is next scheduled to pitch July 23 with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, and he's slated to work up to 65 pitches in that start. If that goes well, Gil could be activated shortly thereafter.

Williams earned the save in Sunday's 4-2 win over Atlanta, allowing a run on one hit while striking out one in the ninth inning.

Williams would give up a 456-foot blast to Ronald Acuna to lead off the ninth before settling in and retiring the next three batters in order. While Williams has given up a run in back-to-back outings, he's converted 10 straight save chances since reclaiming the ninth-inning job in the Bronx. Overall, Williams is up to 14 saves while posting a 4.82 ERA with a 1.13 WHIP and 49:15 K:BB across 37.1 innings this season.

Cano threw a clean seventh inning to notch a hold in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Rays. He struck out one.

Cano tallied his 13th hold of the campaign, and he bounced back after surrendering three runs his last time out versus Miami. Although the 31-year-old right-hander has a shaky 4.54 ERA and 1.40 WHIP over 33.2 innings, he does have a respectable 37:11 K:BB while working mostly as a setup man for closer Felix Bautista this season.

Ryan (10-4) took home the win in Sunday's victory over Colorado, allowing one run on five hits while striking out 11 over seven innings.

Ryan continues to build on what's shaping up to be the best season of his career, tossing seven innings for the fifth time this year. The right-hander missed bats consistently, tying his season high with 11 strikeouts, and limited damage, with his lone blemish coming via a solo homer to Mickey Moniak in the third inning. Ryan has been lights-out over his last five outings, sporting a 1.45 ERA with a sharp 36:3 K:BB across 31 innings. Now sitting at a 2.63 ERA and 0.90 WHIP on the season, the 29-year-old will look to keep rolling in his next start, scheduled for Saturday against the Nationals.

Stroman (2-1) earned the win Sunday over Atlanta, allowing one run on five hits and no walks over six innings. He struck out four.

Stroman delivered his first quality start of the season Sunday -- he'd blank Atlanta for five innings before eventually giving up a lone run on a Matt Olson homer in the sixth. The 34-year-old Stroman's pitched well since rejoining the Yankees in late June, posting a 3.00 ERA over four starts (15 innings) after struggling to an 11.57 ERA in his first three starts (9.1 innings) in April. Stroman is currently scheduled to face the Phillies at home his next time out.

Bautista earned the save in Sunday's 5-3 win over Tampa Bay, allowing a run on one hit and three walks in the ninth inning. He struck out two.

Bautista appeared to be rusty in his first appearance since the All-Star break. While he managed to strike out Junior Caminero to leave the bases loaded, Bautista needed 34 pitches, just 18 of which were strikes, to get through the ninth inning. The right-hander was dominant heading into the break, allowing just one run while striking out 27 in his previous 16 innings. Overall, Bautista is 19-for-20 in save chances this year while posting a 2.60 ERA with a 1.13 WHIP and 50:23 K:BB over 34.2 innings.

Pepiot (6-8) took the loss Sunday against the Orioles, allowing five runs on six hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out eight.

Pepiot was plagued by the home-run ball Sunday -- he'd give up three solo shots, matching a season high, en route to a second straight loss. The 27-year-old Pepiot had posted a 2.79 ERA in 10 starts (58 innings) prior to the All-Star break. Overall, his ERA sits at 3.59 with a 1.16 WHIP and an impressive 118:38 K:BB through 21 starts (120.1 innings) this season. Pepiot is currently slated to face the Reds on the road in his next outing.
