Mahle allowed four runs (three earned) on eight hits and struck out five without walking a batter over 4.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Rockies on Sunday.

Mahle was mostly able to limit mistakes, but the Rockies still got enough traffic on the bases to make this a tough outing. He has given up just one home run over three starts since he returned from a hamstring strain, which has helped him avoid truly awful starts. He's still struggling overall with a 5.70 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 69:29 K:BB through 71 innings over 14 starts. Mahle is lined up for a rematch at home versus the Rockies in his next start.

Rumfield went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Sunday's 7-6 win over the Giants.

Rumfield has hit safely in 17 of his last 18 games, a span that includes eight multi-hit efforts. However, he's now gone 13 contests without a home run, matching his longest power drought of the year. The first baseman is batting .301 with an .874 OPS, 12 homers, 47 RBI, 42 runs scored, 20 doubles, two triples and no stolen bases over his first 88 big-league games. As long as he's consistent at the plate, he has little chance of losing out on a near-everyday role.

Karros went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 7-6 win over the Giants.

Karros delivered the go-ahead blast in the eighth inning, and it ended up being the decisive play of the game. Over his last 13 games, he's gone 14-for-39 (.359) with three homers and nine RBI. For the season, the third baseman is batting .263 with a .786 OPS, seven homers, 29 RBI, 44 runs scored, 16 doubles, two triples and three stolen bases over 86 contests.

Jansen tossed a scoreless inning of relief to earn the save in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Rangers.

Jansen needed only eight pitches to retire Texas in order as he efficiently earned his 10th save of the season in 14 chances. The veteran reliever has had some ups and downs this year, including allowing four earned runs over 2.2 innings in his three most recent appearances before Sunday's improved effort. Overall, Jansen is sitting with a 4.98 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 23 strikeouts across 21.2 innings this season, making him a volatile fantasy option so far in his first campaign with the Tigers.

Yesavage (4-4) took the loss Sunday, allowing three runs (two earned) on three hits and two walks over six innings against Seattle. He struck out seven.

Yesavage churned out a quality start, though a no-show from the Toronto offense saddled him with the loss. After not allowing a homer in any of his first seven starts this season, the right-hander has surrendered seven long balls across his past six starts, including a two-run shot to Mitch Garver in the fourth inning Sunday. Yesavage will take a 3.31 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 68:32 K:BB across 73.1 innings (13 starts) into his final outing before the All-Star break, tentatively scheduled for Saturday in San Diego.

Romano allowed a hit and struck out two over a scoreless inning to earn the save in Sunday's 7-6 win over the Giants.

This was Romano's second appearance with the Rockies after his promotion Saturday. The veteran right-hander has five saves on the year -- he logged four for the Angels (and still leads that team in saves) before he was designated for assignment and released in late April. The Rockies' bullpen situation is far from settled, so Romano should have a chance to factor into the closer committee. He's posted an 8.10 ERA and 16:6 K:BB over 10 innings this season.

Gordon allowed five runs on six hits and two walks while striking out seven over five innings in a no-decision versus the Giants on Sunday.

Gordon served up four home runs, which accounted for all of the runs on his line. The right-hander has given up 10 runs over 10 innings since returning from a hip inpingement. He's posted an 11:2 K:BB in that span, and both starts have come at Coors Field, which likely explains some of his struggles. Overall, Gordon has a 6.95 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 46:10 K:BB through 45.1 innings over 11 games (four starts). He's tentatively projected to make his next start in a road rematch versus the Giants.

Greene went 3-for-4 with a walk, a triple, a home run and four total RBI in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Rangers.

Greene homered for the second straight day, and he's now up to 13 long balls for the season. The All-Star outfielder has been surging lately with a .302 batting average, five home runs and 11 RBI over his last 12 games. After his breakout 2025 campaign, Greene is once again leading Detroit's offensive attack in 2026, giving him plenty of fantasy appeal.

Hancock (6-4) earned the win Sunday, allowing two hits and two walks over seven scoreless innings against Toronto. He struck out five.

Hancock navigated the Toronto lineup with little resistance, as he didn't allow a hit after the second inning as part of a seven-inning shutout performance. After surrendering 11 runs across 9.1 innings in his previous two starts, the right-hander has gotten back into a rhythm by allowing just one run over 12.2 innings in his past two outings. Hancock will take a 3.23 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 92:24 K:BB across 97.2 innings (17 starts) into his next outing, tentatively scheduled for next Sunday against Tampa Bay if Seattle continues to operate with a standard six-man rotation, though a piggyback appearance remains a possibility.

Crow-Armstrong went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Cardinals.

After a scorching hot June, Crow-Armstrong is keeping things rolling in July. The star outfielder has started the month with hits in four straight games, and he's 6-for-12 overall in July with a home run, two stolen bases, three runs scored and three RBI. In June, Crow-Armstrong batted .381 with a 1.249 OPS, eight steals, 11 long balls, 20 RBI and 21 runs scored across 26 contests. The 24-year-old is headed toward his second straight All-Star Game appearance with a ton of momentum.
