Farris picked up the save Sunday against the Giants. He allowed no earned runs on a hit and no walks while striking out one over two-thirds of an inning.

Farris entered with two runners on and one out in the ninth inning and surrendered a two-out, two-RBI double to Luis Arraez but was able to punch out Heliot Ramos to secure the victory for the Angels. It marked Farris' first big-league save, as the 25-year-old southpaw has posted a 3.53 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 43:18 K:BB across 43.1 innings this season. Los Angeles' bullpen has been shaky and lacks a true closer, though Ryan Zeferjahn, who pitched the eighth inning Sunday, and Kirby Yates, who was likely unavailable after pitching the previous two days, remain the most likely candidates for saves.

Semien went 1-for-1 with a pinch-hit three-run home run in Sunday's 8-3 win over the Dodgers.

Semien entered as a pinch hitter for Luis Robert in the seventh inning and promptly launched a three-run homer to extend New York's lead. He has now homered twice over his last four games, though those long balls account for two of just three hits over seven contests since returning from the injured list. Semien is batting just .207 with a .607 OPS across 87 games this season.

Whisenhunt (2-1) took the loss Sunday, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks over five innings against the Angels. He struck out seven.

Whisenhunt showed off his swing-and-miss stuff by registering 18 whiffs and seven strikeouts, but the southpaw was tagged for a pair of homers in the fourth inning that soured the outing and saddled him with the loss. The 25-year-old has spent most of the season with Triple-A Sacramento, as Sunday marked his third big-league start of the season, and he owns a 4.60 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 13:8 K:BB across 15.2 innings with San Francisco. With Trevor McDonald (elbow) likely to miss an extended period of time, Whisenhunt figures to stick around in the rotation for the time being, with his next start tentatively scheduled for Friday at San Diego.

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.

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.

Taylor went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a hit-by-pitch in Sunday's 8-3 win over the Dodgers.

Taylor delivered a big swing in the sixth inning, taking Evan Phillips deep for a three-run homer that gave the Mets the lead. The blast was his eighth of the season. The veteran outfielder has heated up at the plate, going 8-for-20 (.400) with three home runs over his last 10 games. On the season, Taylor is slashing .237/.281/.481 with eight home runs, eight doubles, 23 RBI and 17 runs scored.

Arozarena went 3-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Rangers.

After Dominic Canzone crushed a three-run homer to give the Mariners the lead in the seventh inning, Arozarena followed with a solo blast to push the club's advantage to 5-3. Sunday marked the left fielder's eighth game with three-plus hits this season. He's been a steady offensive presence all year, slashing .284/.379/.448 with 12 homers, 46 RBI, 65 runs and 19 stolen bases across 98 contests.

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.

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.

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.
