Webb (4-4) earned the win Sunday, allowing an unearned run on seven hits and no walks over eight innings against the Cubs. He struck out seven.

Webb's strong run continued Sunday, as the right-hander kept the Cubs off the board through the first seven frames before a Casey Schmitt throwing error in the eighth inning paved the way for Chicago's lone run scored. Webb has been nothing short of magnificent through three outings in June, posting a 0.39 ERA, 0.61 WHIP and 18:1 K:BB across 23 innings. He'll carry a 3.46 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 65:19 K:BB across 75.1 innings (12 starts) into his next outing, tentatively scheduled for Saturday against the Marlins.

The Cubs acquired Zulueta from the Mariners on Monday in exchange for cash considerations.

Seattle designated Zulueta for assignment Wednesday, but he'll regain a spot on the 40-man roster with his move to a new organization. The right-hander has posted an inflated 5.75 ERA over 20.1 innings in 22 appearances with Triple-A Tacoma so far this season, but he boasts impressive velocity and has struck out 21.4 percent of the batters he's faced. The Cubs are expected to assign him to Triple-A Iowa.

Rea (5-5) allowed four runs on six hits across 4.2 innings and took the loss in Sunday's 5-1 defeat to the Giants. He walked three and struck out two.

Rea worked as the bulk pitcher behind opener Ryan Rolison, and the former struggled upon entering the contest. The veteran righty has now taken the loss in his last two appearances, during which time he's allowed 11 runs across 9.1 innings, which has pushed his season ERA up to 5.35. Rea doesn't strike out many batters, with only a 6.8 K/9 on the year, and that limits his margin for error as well as his fantasy upside. He'll look to get back in the win column in his next scheduled appearance, which is currently lined up for Saturday against the Blue Jays, though it's unclear if he'll start of work behind an opener again.

Kelly (4-2) earned the win Sunday against the Angels, allowing one hit and no walks in two scoreless innings of work. He struck out three.

While the 28-year-old right-hander last saw a save opportunity during his May 12 outing versus Toronto, he's remained a key cog in Tampa Bay's bullpen despite losing the closer job to Bryan Baker. Kelly boasts a 2.27 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 25:6 K:BB across 31.2 innings this year, also racking up 14 holds.

Crow-Armstrong went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Giants.

Crow-Armstrong did his job as Chicago's leadoff hitter, but the rest of the lineup failed to produce much. The talented center fielder is in the middle of a hot stretch, as he's now riding a five-game hitting streak and is batting a robust .405 over his last 10 contests with four home runs and four stolen bases. Crow-Armstrong is a dynamic player capable of producing both power and speed, just as long as he's making consistent contact at the plate.

Wood went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, two RBI, a walk and two runs scored in Sunday's 10-1 win over the Mariners.

Wood matched a season high in total bases Sunday, also pushing his hitting streak up to six games in his seventh effort of the year with at least three hits. The star outfielder has mashed three homers in his past four contests, and he is now slashing .281/.414/.558 with 20 long balls, 46 RBI, 13 stolen bases and 66 runs scored over 336 plate appearances in 2026.

Mikolas (2-5) notched the win Sunday against the Mariners, allowing no runs on three hits and no walks in seven innings of relief. He struck out three.

After beginning the season in the rotation, Mikolas has been far more effective behind an opener in 2026. The 37-year-old right-hander has an 8.28 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 19:1 K:BB over 25 frames as a starter, but he sports a 3.56 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 22:6 K:BB across 43 innings as a bulk reliever. Given his stark splits depending on how he's deployed, the Nationals figure to continue using Mikolas behind an opener during his next scheduled outing in Tampa Bay.

Hancock (5-3) took the loss Sunday against the Nationals, allowing six runs on nine hits and no walks in four innings. He struck out four.

Four of the hits allowed went for extra bases in what was Hancock's season-worst outing virtually across the board. The 27-year-old right-hander gave up a season-high six runs and nine hits, also fanning a season-low two in his shortest start of the year. Hancock will try to flush Sunday's outing in his next scheduled appearance at home against Boston, and he still holds a strong 3.28 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 75:17 K:BB over 79.2 frames.

Miller secured the save Sunday against the Orioles, throwing 1.1 clean innings. He struck out three.

The Orioles had no answer for Miller, who punched out at least three hitters Sunday for the 11th time already this year. The hard-throwing right-hander has been a lights-out closer for the Padres and fantasy managers alike in 2026, converting all 19 of his save opportunities so far. Miller, who leads the National League in saves, has a shiny 0.90 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 59:12 K:BB over 30 frames.

Rogers (3-7) took the loss Sunday against the Padres, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out four.

Although he's still struggling for strikeouts, Rogers is certainly finding a rhythm on the mound of late. The 28-year-old southpaw has recorded fewer than five punchouts in eight consecutive starts, but he does have a 3.12 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 10:4 K:BB over 17.1 innings covering three outings in June thus far. Rogers will try to further improve on his 5.86 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 48:22 K:BB over 66 frames going forward, but he'll have his work cut out for him with a road outing against the Dodgers on tap for his next appearance.
