Misiewicz secured his 13th hold in a win over the Athletics on Sunday, firing 1.1 perfect innings during which he recorded a strikeout.

Misiewicz fired eight of 11 pitches for strikes in an ultra-efficient outing, extending a prolonged stretch of dominant performances. Factoring in Sunday's stellar effort, Misiewicz owns a 1-0 record, 1.50 ERA and 0.67 WHIP across the 12 innings he's logged since June 19, a span during which he's also recorded a pair of holds overall.

Patino is scheduled to start Thursday's game against the Yankees.

After getting called up from Triple-A Durham last week to make a start in Cleveland, Patino initially wasn't certain to stick in the rotation beyond that outing. Even though he delivered so-so results in a no-decision (four runs allowed on five hits and three walks over 5.1 innings), Patino will maintain his spot in the rotation after the Rays shipped starter Rich Hill off to the Mets. The Rays will eventually get Chris Archer (forearm) and Tyler Glasnow (elbow) back from the injured list, so Patino will still need to churn out respectable starts in order to stay in the rotation for the rest of the season.

Hendriks allowed one hit and struck out three to save Sunday's 3-1 win over Milwaukee. It was his 24th save in 28 chances.

Michael Kopech hurled a scoreless seventh but walked the first batter faced in the eighth, so manager Tony La Russa went with his closer for a six-out save, the second save of such length this season for Hendriks. He hadn't pitched since last Tuesday, so Hendriks had the bullets and retired the Brewers on just 20 pitches over his two innings.

Santana (0-1) allowed one earned run on one hit and two walks across two-thirds of an inning, taking the loss to the Astros on Sunday.

Santana entered the game with a one-run lead and one out in the fifth inning. He surrendered a two-run home run to Abraham Toro to give up the lead. He has a 5.35 ERA in 10.1 innings since joining the Rangers. On the season, he has a 5.68 ERA and a 1.70 WHIP with 15 strikeouts in 25.1 innings.

Hearn pitched three hitless innings, allowing one walk while striking out three in the loss to the Astros on Sunday. He did not factor into the decision.

Hearn received his second start of the season Sunday despite primarily being used as a bulk-inning reliever. Although he was pulled after three innings, he didn't allow any hits, and only one batter reached base safely via a walk. The 26-year-old has a 5.40 ERA and a 1.64 WHIP in 38.1 innings. However, he has allowed only one run on three hits over his last 13 innings.

Pressly fired a clean ninth inning, striking out one to earn the save over the Rangers on Sunday.

Pressly retired the side and struck out Curtis Terry to end the game. It was a nice comeback appearance for Pressly after he allowed his first earned run since May 29 on Saturday. The 32-year-old has a 1.50 ERA and a 0.79 WHIP in 42 innings. He is 18-for-19 in save opportunities, the third-highest save percentage for closers with at least 10 saves.

Coulombe (1-1) allowed one earned run on two hits while striking out one across 1.2 innings, taking the loss to the Angels on Sunday.

Coulombe replaced Bailey Ober in a tie game with one out in the sixth inning. He surrendered a home run to Shohei Ohtani, setting him up for the loss. It is the first time he allowed a run since his first appearance June 25. The 31-year-old has a 1.50 ERA and 0.83 WHIP with 17 strikeouts in 12 innings.

Barria (1-0) allowed two earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out four across seven innings, earning the win over the Twins on Sunday.

Barria allowed a home run in the first inning to Max Kepler and another to Brent Rooker. However, he shut down the Twins over the next six innings to win the game. This was Barria's first win of the season in his third appearance. The 24-year-old has a 6.23 ERA and five strikeouts in 13 innings.

McCaughan is scheduled to start Monday's game against the Astros, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

McCaughan will be rewarded with a start after he thrived while working as a primary pitcher out of the bullpen in his MLB debut Wednesday, when he limited the Rockies to one run on no hits and three walks. The 25-year-old right-hander generated only one swinging strike among his 61 pitches in the outing, and he posted an underwhelming 18.9 percent strikeout rate over 10 starts at Triple-A Tacoma this season. His reliance on inducing weak contact to record outs will make it difficult to trust him in fantasy.

Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo confirmed that Hatch will start Monday's game against the Red Sox, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports.

Before committing to starting Hatch in Monday's series opener, the Blue Jays made the right-hander available out of the bullpen in an emergency for Sunday's game against the Mets, but he wasn't needed in Toronto's 5-4 loss. Hatch has gone unused since being called up from Triple-A Buffalo on July 19, so Monday's outing will mark his 2021 debut for the big club. Alek Manoah (back) is ultimately expected to displace Hatch as a starter, but the latter could end up making two or three turns through the rotation due to a doubleheader against the Red Sox coming up Aug. 7.
