Jump (2-1) notched the win Sunday against the Astros, allowing no runs on three hits and three walks in 6.1 innings. He struck out three.

Following a shaky major-league debut, which saw him give up four runs on nine hits, Jump has bounced back in a big way on the mound. The rookie left-hander has yielded a lone run across his past two starts (13.1 innings), scattering three singles Sunday en route to his first scoreless outing of the year. Jump now sports a 2.45 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 13:5 K:BB across his first 18.1 frames, and he next lines up for a favorable home matchup versus the Rockies.

Burrows (3-8) took the loss Sunday against the Athletics, allowing five runs (four earned) on eight hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out three.

Burrows has really struggled to keep the ball in the park this year, serving up two home runs in seven of his 13 starts. The 26-year-old right-hander has thrown at least five innings in all but one of his outings, but he's given up fewer than three runs just four times so far. Burrows will carry an underwhelming 5.77 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 60:28 K:BB over 73.1 innings into his next scheduled appearance in Kansas City.

Curvelo was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock after Sunday's 10-0 win over Cleveland.

Curvelo will head back to the Triple-A level after being called up June 1. The 25-year-old appeared in three contests with the big-league club following his promotion, combining to give up two runs (one earned) on four hits while striking out one batter over 2.1 innings. Curvelo will now wait for his next chance to join the big-league club down the road this year.

Baz (3-6) took the loss against the Blue Jays on Sunday, allowing five runs (one earned) on seven hits and one walk while striking out three across 5.2 innings.

Baz kept the Blue Jays off the board until the sixth inning, when he gave up a leadoff home run to Yohendrick Pinango. Baz ran into bad luck in the frame after a fielding error put runners on the corners with two outs, but he would have escaped with just the one run given up had Ernie Clement been ruled out of the basepath on Brandon Valenzuela's RBI groundout, per Jake Rill of MLB.com. The five runs Baz gave up were his most in a start since May 9 against the Athletics, but he's yielded only one earned run in three of his last four outings. He'll take a 4.09 ERA and 1.38 WHIP across 77 innings into his next start, which is slated for next weekend at home against the Padres.

Skubal (elbow) tossed five scoreless innings Sunday in a rehab start with High-A West Michigan, allowing two hits and no walks while striking out six batters.

Back on the mound for the first time since undergoing surgery May 6 to remove a loose body from his left elbow, Skubal exhibited no signs of rust. Though he was facing off against lower-caliber competition, Skubal was supremely efficient, spotting 44 of his 54 total pitches for strikes. According to Jeff Seidel of the Detroit Free Press, Skubal tossed an additional 15 pitches out of the bullpen following the start, so he could be stretched out enough to make his next appearance with the big club. The Tigers will presumably reassess Skubal in a bullpen session within the next few days, and if all goes well, he could rejoin the Detroit rotation as soon as Friday in Cleveland. Even if the Tigers elect to send Skubal out for another rehab start, he's still on track to easily beat his initial estimated recovery timeline of 2-to-3 months following surgery.

Foscue started at second base and went 1-for-4 with a walk, a home run, two RBI and an additional run scored in Sunday's 10-0 win over Cleveland.

Foscue got the rout started early with a two-run home run in the first inning. This was just his second start in the last eight games, both when the Rangers faced a left-hander. The semi-regular role he had at second base went away when the Rangers added free agent Nicky Lopez. Now, with Corey Seager back from the injured list, Ezequiel Duran will be the primary starter at the keystone.

Gausman did not factor into Sunday's decision against the Orioles, allowing four runs on five hits while striking out five across five innings. He did not issue a walk.

Gausman was dominant through four innings, limiting the Orioles to just one baserunner over that span. Unfortunately for the right-hander, he proceeded to give up four runs in the fifth inning, three of which came on home runs from Taylor Ward and Colton Cowser. It was a bit of bad luck for Gausman, as three of those runs wouldn't have happened if Brandon Valenzuela could have squeezed a foul tip that would've ended the inning with a strikeout, which ultimately led to an RBI double from Blaze Alexander. Gausman escaped with the no-decision after his teammates rallied for five runs in the fifth, but he's now given up four runs in back-to-back starts, which has him at a 3.60 ERA and 1.09 WHIP across 80 innings this season. His next start is slated for next weekend at home against the Yankees.

Langford went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 10-0 win over the Guardians.

Langford launched just his second home run of the season in the fourth inning. Of course, he has a good excuse for the low HR output; Langford missed a little more than six weeks with a forearm injury and was recently activated from the IL on Friday. He batted leadoff for the second time in three games off the IL, both coming against left-handers.

Pinango went 2-for-4 with a solo home run during the Blue Jays' 6-4 win over the Orioles on Sunday.

Shane Baz kept the Blue Jays off the board through the first five innings, but Pinango turned things around for his team with a solo home run in the sixth, the first of five runs in the frame. It was the fourth home run of the season for Pinango, who is slashing .301/.333/.456 with 17 RBI and eight extra-base hits over 108 plate appearances this season. While he's been productive at the plate, Pinango has not been as good in the outfield, which has limited his playing time. He could be facing even less reps in the outfield once Addison Barger (elbow) returns from the injured list.

Kwan went 2-for-3 in Sunday's 10-0 loss to Texas.

Not much went right for the Guardians, but Kwan's two-hit effort continued a positive stretch for the slumping outfielder. This was his fourth multi-hit performance over the last 10 games. Kwan has gone 12-for-35 (.343) with six runs scored during that stretch.
