May allowed two runs on two hits, four walks and a hit batsman while striking out four over four innings in a no-decision versus Atlanta on Sunday.

May also unloaded a wild pitch, showcasing shaky control throughout the brief start. He's now fallen short of the five-inning mark in four straight games since he pitched his first career shutout June 15 versus the Padres, though he dealt with back tightness and an ankle injury in subsequent starts that have left him with limited workloads heading into the break. May is at a 4.55 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 89:28 K:BB across 93 innings over 18 starts this season.

Iglesias struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Sunday's 4-3 win over St. Louis.

Iglesias has allowed four runs over his last four innings, but he's converted three of four save chances in that span. The veteran reliever was dominant early in the season but has regressed since late May, though he's in no immediate danger of losing the closer job. He's at a 2.23 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 36:7 K:BB through 32.1 innings while converting 19 of 20 save chances this season.

Ritchie allowed one run on one hit and two walks while striking out two over 4.1 innings in a no-decision versus St. Louis on Sunday.

Ritchie had to come in earlier than expected after opener Danny Young allowed a run and left two men on base with two outs in the first inning. Ritchie got out of that jam and then turned in a strong performance of his own, running into trouble only in the fourth inning. Ritchie has allowed two runs over 8.2 innings across three appearances in July. He's now at a 4.38 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 44:30 K:BB through 49.1 innings over 11 games (seven starts) in the majors. Ritchie's role remains in flux -- he could return to the bullpen full-time or get demoted Triple-A Gwinnett if Martin Perez (forearm contusion) is ready to go after the All-Star break.

Baz took a no-decision Sunday against the Royals, allowing two runs (one earned) on seven hits and no walks in 4.2 innings. He struck out nine.

It was a mixed bag for Baz, who gave up three extra-base hits in an abbreviated start but matched a season high in punchouts. Although the 27-year-old right-hander had a 5.48 ERA and 1.56 WHIP through his first eight outings of the year, he's fared far better lately with a 3.21 ERA and 1.26 WHIP across his last 11 appearances. For the campaign, Baz has a 4.11 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 99:42 K:BB over 111.2 innings in his first year with the Orioles.

Guzman went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Twins.

Guzman had gone 15 games without a homer, hitting .236 with two doubles in that span. The infielder provided the Angels' second run of the game when he went deep off Taj Bradley in the seventh inning. Guzman is now hitting .262 with a .718 OPS, four homers, 14 RBI, 11 runs scored, four doubles and one stolen base over 114 plate appearances this season.

Lowe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Twins.

Lowe has yet to record a multi-hit effort in July, going 5-for-30 (.167) with two homers over his last nine games. He got the Angels on the board first with his second-inning blast Sunday. Lowe is now hitting .208 with a .620 OPS, eight homers, 21 RBI, 17 runs scored, four doubles and three stolen bases over 60 contests this season. He has been getting mostly steady playing time as a fourth outfielder recently.

Soriano (8-6) allowed three runs on five hits and two walks while failing to record a strikeout over five innings as he took the loss versus the Twins on Sunday.

Soriano had logged at least two strikeouts in every outing this season prior to Sunday. He's found a little more success with limiting walks lately -- he's given up no more than two free passes in six of his last seven outings. However, he has just one quality start and has reached the six-inning mark only twice in that span. Soriano is at a 3.49 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 115:53 K:BB through 111 innings over 20 starts this season.

Larnach went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a second RBI and two total runs scored in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Angels.

This was his fourth multi-hit effort over nine games in July, though he's also been held hitless four times this month. Larnach is batting .323 (10-for-31) with five extra-base hits and five RBI in July. For the season, the outfielder is hitting .289 with an .830 OPS, seven homers, 32 RBI, 44 runs scored, two stolen bases, 18 doubles and a triple across 80 contests.

Morris allowed a hit and a walk while striking out two over two scoreless innings to earn the save in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Angels.

Yoendrys Gomez pitched Saturday, but it's unclear if that played a role in Morris staying in for a second inning to get the save. Morris has plenty of experience with longer outings -- he's recorded four or more outs in 13 of his 35 appearances (two starts) this season while working his way into the high-leverage mix. He's at a 3.33 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 48:14 K:BB with three saves, 13 holds and two blown saves over 46 innings. While Morris has worked as a starter in the minors, both of his starts in the majors have been as the opener of bullpen games, so it's unlikely he'll get fully stretched out in 2026.

Wood went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and two walks in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Yankees.

Wood is putting together an incredible power surge, going deep in three consecutive games and in five of his past six outings. Additionally, the All-Star outfielder has launched 12 homers in his last 12 contests. Wood has been a five-category fantasy producer in 2026, slashing .279/.410/.575 with 28 long balls, 64 RBI, 15 stolen bases and a major-league-leading 89 runs scored over 454 plate appearances.
