Wells allowed three runs on one hit and four walks while striking out five over 4.1 innings Sunday against the Rays. He did not factor into the decision.

Wells issued a season-high four walks, and it was just the second time this year he's issued more than two walks in a start. He also hit two batters and was unconventionally wild. Despite the control issues, Wells managed to allow just one hit which happened to be a two-run homer by Yandy Diaz in the fifth inning. He's now gone under five innings in consecutive starts but still holds a career-best 3.65 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 110:30 K:BB in 111 innings and projects for a matchup with the Yankees next weekend.

Bradley allowed three runs on five hits and a walk while striking out six across five innings Sunday against the Orioles. He did not factor into the decision.

Bradley gave up a run in the first and then a two-run blast to Gunnar Henderson in the second to put the Rays in a quick 3-0 hole. He went on to allow just one more baserunner after that frame but failed to make it past five innings, which is something he's done just once in 15 starts. The 22-year-old did register an impressive 34 percent whiff rate but also surrendered a home run for a sixth consecutive outing. He sits at a 5.30 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 95:22 K:BB over 71.1 innings. He's expected to face the Astros in Houston this weekend.

Giolito allowed six hits and three walks while striking out nine over five scoreless innings Sunday against the Twins. He did not factor into the decision.

Sunday was Giolito's third outing this season without allowing a run, though it was his first time not securing a win in one of those starts. He gave up just one extra-base knock and made some history by recording his 1,000th career strikeout in the bottom of the third. Giolito has recorded nine-plus strikeouts in three of his last six starts but has just one win since June 6. He now holds a 3.79 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 131:42 K:BB in 121 innings and lines up to face the Guardians next, that is if he hasn't been traded by the time he's set to take the mound again.

Ober did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing three runs on five hits and no walks over six innings against the White Sox. He struck out six.

Ober gave up two solo home runs early as the Twins fell behind only to rally to tie the game in the ninth inning and win in the 12th. The right-hander has allowed just six earned runs in his last four starts (2.16 ERA) with a 24:3 K:BB ratio, and he's delivered a quality start in each of his past seven outings.

Anderson (5-2) allowed four runs on eight hits and a walk over six-plus innings Sunday, striking out five and earning a win over the Pirates.

Anderson gave up just one run through six frames but was charged with three more in the seventh inning after putting three Pirates on base while failing to record an out. It was the first time he completed six innings since June 25 in Colorado. Anderson has recorded a 5.68 ERA over his last nine starts, bumping his season number to 5.23 across 93 innings. His next start is projected to be in Toronto.

Manoah allowed three runs on three hits and four walks over 5.1 innings in Sunday's win over Seattle. He struck out six and did not factor in the decision.

Through five innings, the only damage against Manoah was Mike Ford's two-run shot in the second inning. Manoah has walked nine batters in his last two starts after posting an 8:0 K:BB in his MLB return July 7. His season ERA now sits at 6.10 with a 62:51 K:BB through 16 starts. Manoah's next outing is currently scheduled to be at home against the Angels.

Woo (1-3) allowed four runs on four hits and a walk over six-plus innings Sunday, striking out seven and taking a loss against Toronto.

Woo tossed three scoreless frames before coughing up a two-run shot to Vladimir Guerrero in the fourth inning. Woo's given up multiple homers in two straight games after being taken deep just once in his previous four outings. Following a stretch of six consecutive starts allowing two or fewer runs, he's been tagged with 10 runs over his last two appearances. While his ERA rose to 4.91, he's sporting a strong 54:13 K:BB across 44 career MLB innings. Woo's next start is projected to be in Arizona.

Medina allowed a run on two hits and three walks while striking out six over five innings in a no-decision versus the Astros on Sunday.

Medina turned in a solid performance, though he needed 93 pitches (59 strikes) to get through five frames. He limited the damage to a Yainer Diaz solo shot in the fifth inning. Medina has allowed just one run, five hits and four walks over 10.2 innings across his two starts since the All-Star break. He's trimmed his ERA to 5.50 with a 1.49 WHIP and 70:36 K:BB through 70.1 innings over 14 outings (10 starts) this season. The 24-year-old is projected to make his next start at Colorado.

Brown allowed two runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four over six innings in a no-decision versus the Athletics on Sunday.

Brown enjoyed his best start of July, though the quality of opponent likely played a role. He'd allowed a total of 12 runs and 24 hits over 12.1 innings across his three previous outings before getting back on track Sunday. The right-hander is now at a 4.19 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 122:35 K:BB through 105.1 innings over 19 starts this season. Brown's career high in innings came last year when he pitched 126.1 between Triple-A and the majors, though it's unclear if the Astros have any plans to reduce his workload over the final two months of this season. He's projected for a home start versus the Rays next weekend -- he previously tossed seven innings of two-hit ball against them April 26.

Perez (8-3) earned the win Sunday over the Dodgers, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks while striking out six over six innings.

Perez got off to a terrible start, allowing a grand slam to Max Muncy in the first inning. The veteran southpaw settled down after that, and the Rangers' offense took care of the rest to give Perez his first win of the month. He's now at a 4.91 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 68:38 K:BB through 102.2 innings over 19 starts this season. Perez is lined up to make his next start on the road in San Diego.
