Jose Soriano SP | TOR
Angels' Jose Soriano: Earns ninth win
Soriano (9-6) earned the win Sunday, allowing one unearned run on three hits and three walks over five innings in a 4-3 win over San Francisco. He struck out five.
Soriano was lifted after five frames at 85 pitches (47 strikes), but he was able to keep the San Francisco offense quiet en route to picking up his first win since June 13. After a disastrous stretch on the mound during May and June, the right-hander has found his footing a bit in July, posting a 2.74 ERA and 0.96 WHIP across 23 innings (four starts), though his strikeout production has dipped a bit this month. Overall, Soriano owns a 3.29 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 127:57 K:BB across 123 innings (22 starts) and is tentatively scheduled to make his next start Saturday against Milwaukee.

Ezequiel Duran SS | TEX
Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Cracks 11th homer in loss
Duran went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Mariners.
Duran plated a run with a sacrifice fly in the first inning before launching a 420-foot solo homer to left field in the eighth inning, though the Rangers were unable to muster a late-game comeback. The club has shifted the 27-year-old around the diamond defensively as needed, and his offensive production has remained consistent. In 96 games, Duran is slashing .271/.322/.447 with 11 homers, 55 RBI, 46 runs and seven stolen bases.

Dominic Canzone DH | SEA
Mariners' Dominic Canzone: Goes yard in three-hit effort
Canzone went 3-for-5 with a three-run homer, a double and an additional RBI in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Rangers.
Canzone rattled off three hits, with his most important one being a three-run homer in the seventh inning to put the Mariners ahead 4-3. The 28-year-old has had a tame July, slashing .219/.286/.391 with three homers, 12 RBI and five runs scored across 16 contests, but he has otherwise been among the club's top offensive performers this season. Overall, Canzone is hitting .260/.332/.512 with 16 homers, 46 RBI and 35 runs scored over 91 games.

Andres Munoz RP | SEA
Mariners' Andres Munoz: Dominant in 18th save
Munoz picked up the save in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Rangers. He struck out three across a perfect inning.
Entering with a two-run cushion, Munoz made quick work of the Rangers in the bottom of the ninth, striking out the side in order to secure his 18th save of the season. The hard-throwing right-hander has been locked in since mid-June, riding a 13-inning scoreless streak with eight saves during the stretch. Overall, Munoz owns a 3.86 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 58:15 K:BB across 37.1 innings this season.

Jacob deGrom SP | TEX
Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Allows one run in no-decision
DeGrom did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing one run on seven hits and no walks over five-plus innings against Seattle. He struck out four.
DeGrom fired off five frames of one-run ball before allowing a pair of singles to open the sixth frame, prompting the Rangers to pull him at 90 pitches (66 strikes) in favor of Robby Ahlstrom. Ahlstrom closed the inning with no damage to preserve a 3-1 advantage, though struggles from the relievers after him kept Texas and deGrom from picking up the win. The 38-year-old hasn't put up the elite numbers he's regularly produced throughout his big-league career, but the two-time Cy Young Award winner has still been plenty serviceable in 2026. DeGrom, who will likely finish July winless, will take a 7-6 record with a 3.67 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 132:24 K:BB across 110.1 innings (20 starts) into his next outing, lined up for next weekend on the road in Houston.

Kyle Stowers 1B | MIA
Marlins' Kyle Stowers: Goes deep during loss
Stowers went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Padres.
After doubling in his first plate appearance, Stowers took Walker Buehler deep for a solo homer, giving him 13 long balls on the season. The outfielder entered Sunday in a slump, batting just .152 over his previous 12 games, making the multi-hit effort a welcome sign. Through 81 games this season, Stowers owns a .234/.315/.441 slash line with 18 doubles, three triples, 45 RBI, 37 runs scored and one stolen base.

Logan Gilbert SP | SEA
Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Nears quality start Sunday
Gilbert did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks over 5.2 innings in a 6-4 win over the Rangers. He struck out four.
Gilbert wasn't at his best but was still serviceable, falling one out shy of recording a quality start. Known for his ability to generate whiffs, the right-hander's four strikeouts marked his fewest since May 4 and was just the fourth time he hasn't racked up at least five punchouts this season. The 29-year-old will take an 8-6 record with a 3.44 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 133:27 K:BB across 125.2 innings (21 starts) into his next outing, tentatively scheduled for Saturday against the Twins.

Jobe (elbow) struck out four and allowed one earned run on two hits and two walks across four innings in a rehab start Saturday with Double-A Erie.
Jobe is now four starts into his rehab assignment and has thus far looked sharp in his comeback from Tommy John surgery, posting a 1.59 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 12:2 K:BB in 11.1 innings across stops with three affiliates. According to Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic, Jobe will next throw a bullpen session at Comerica Park before making another rehab start with Triple-A Toledo.
