Bradley yielded five runs on nine hits and a walk over 3.1 innings in Sunday's loss to Seattle. He struck out three and did not factor in the decision.

After serving up a solo homer to Eugenio Suarez in the second inning, Bradley coughed up four more runs in the third. It seemed like Bradley was settling into the MLB level with a 3.28 ERA over a five-start stretch but he's since been tagged with 11 earned runs over two outings. His season ERA has jumped to 5.11, though his 79:17 K:BB through 56.1 innings still looks impressive. The 22-year-old's next outing is projected to be a home matchup with Atlanta.

Castillo allowed six runs (five earned) on eight hits over six innings in Sunday's win over Tampa Bay. He struck out six and did not factor in the decision.

Castillo eventually settled in to toss three scoreless frames after yielding six runs in the first three innings Sunday. He fired 70 of 95 pitches for strikes, including 19 whiffs, his highest total since June 9. The five earned runs charged to him tied his season high; he posted a 2.32 ERA in seven starts between Sunday's start and May 16 when he was tagged with five earned runs against Boston. For the season, Castillo is sporting a 3.14 ERA and an impressive 114:28 K:BB through 17 starts. His next start is projected to be in Houston.

Toussaint allowed two runs on three hits and four walks over 3.2 innings in Sunday's win over the Athletics. He struck out five and did not factor in the decision.

Toussaint gave up a pair of runs in the third inning and needed 85 pitches to record 11 outs. He's allowed two or fewer runs in each of his four MLB appearances this season, but his ERA sits at 3.95 because he's yet to complete more than four innings in any outing. Toussaint will likely move back into a long-relief role for the time being.

Gausman did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk over five innings against the Red Sox. He struck out seven.

Gausman fell one inning shy of picking up a fourth consecutive quality start, allowing just two runs across five innings of work. The veteran right-hander has been exceptional in 2023 outside of a few rough outings, giving up three or fewer runs in 15 of his 18 appearances including six shutout performances. However, Gausman sports a 3.04 ERA through 109.2 innings, a number that's largely inflated by individual starts of eight, seven and six earned runs. Outside of the trio of poor starts, Gausman boasts a 1.48 ERA with a 133:20 K:BB over 97 frames.

Blackburn (1-1) allowed five runs on six hits and four walks over five innings Sunday, striking out five and taking a loss against the White Sox.

All five runs charged to Blackburn came during an ugly third inning. After issuing a total of four walks in his previous four starts, he walked a season-high four batters Sunday. He's allowed at least four runs in three of his first seven outings this season, resulting in a 4.50 ERA with a 40:12 K:BB through 36 frames. Blackburn's next outing is lined up to be in Boston.

Detmers (2-5) allowed two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out nine over six innings to earn the win Sunday over the Diamondbacks.

Detmers allowed multiple runs for the first time since June 1, but he still emerged with his fourth straight quality start. He's also racked up at least eight strikeouts in each of his last five starts. The southpaw's strong pitching has helped to get his season numbers back on track -- he's at a 3.72 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 103:31 K:BB across 82.1 innings through 15 outings. He's had some bad luck with getting wins, but he's putting himself in position for more if he can keep up the good work. With the Angels having just five games left before the All-Star break, Detmers may not start again until after the Midsummer Classic.

Manning (2-1) allowed four runs on five hits and struck out four without walking a batter over five innings to earn the win Sunday over the Rockies.

After walking four in his return from a fractured foot his last time out, Manning displayed better control Sunday. However, the Rockies were able to get the ball in the air well, with three of the four runs against Manning coming on sacrifice flies, though it certainly could have been worse. The right-hander now has a 4.84 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 15:7 K:BB over 22.1 innings through four starts this season. He's lined up to make his next start at home versus the Blue Jays.

Heaney allowed three hits and a walk while striking out eight over five scoreless innings, taking a no-decision in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Astros.

Heaney did his part to start the game, but the Rangers' bullpen was shaky over the final four frames. The veteran southpaw pitched to a 5.87 ERA over five starts in June following a strong end to May, so it was an encouraging first outing in July. Heaney has a 4.12 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 89:35 K:BB through 83 innings across 16 starts this season. He's projected to face the Nationals on the road in his next start.

Rodon (back/forearm) is expected to be activated from the 60-day injured list to start Friday against the Cubs, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

The Yankees have an open spot in their rotation Tuesday versus Baltimore, but Rodon lines up to pitch Friday given he made his last rehab start Saturday with High-A Hudson Valley. The right-hander threw 58 pitches in that outing, so he'll likely have some workload limitations in his Yankees debut.

Manager Alex Cora said after Sunday's win over the Blue Jays that Whitlock (elbow) will undergo an MRI on Monday, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

The right-hander lasted just one frame Sunday before being lifted due to right elbow tightness, which Cora indicated is presenting similarly to the elbow injury that kept him on the IL for most of May. It remains to be seen whether the 26-year-old will require a trip to the shelf this time around, but the Red Sox could play it safe given he's scheduled for just one more start before the All-Star break.
