Glasnow allowed one earned run on four hits and a walk while striking out 12 across five innings Sunday against the Royals. He did not factor into the decision.

Glasnow didn't have a particularly efficient performance, but he induced an impressive 26 swinging strikes across only 89 total pitches. He's completed more than five innings in only three of his starts on the season, though he has still managed to pick up two wins and rack up 45 punch outs across 30.1 frames. While he's struggled to prevent runs in a few of his starts, Glasnow has now also allowed only one earned run in half of his appearances.

Rodon (back/forearm) tossed four scoreless innings in a rehab start with Double-A Somerset on Sunday, allowing one hit and striking out four batters without issuing a walk.

Rodon's second minor-league appearance went even better than his first, and he increased his pitch count slightly from 42 to 48. He threw 36 of those pitches for a strike Sunday, and he's tallied nine punchouts against just one walk and two hits while allowing only one run over seven frames in his first two rehab outings combined. Rodon appears to be on track for one more rehab start before making his Yankees debut July 5, though manager Aaron Boone wouldn't commit to that plan when asked early in the week, per Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News.

Kikuchi (7-2) earned the win Sunday, allowing one run on two hits and two walks over seven innings against the Athletics. He struck out eight.

Kikuchi lasted seven innings for the first time all season Sunday, giving up just one run to pick up his first win since May 30. The outing marked his second consecutive appearance allowing two hits while also being his second straight quality start. Over his last five appearances (32.2 innings), Kikuchi boasts a 2.48 ERA and a 37:11 K:BB despite dishing out six home runs. He's tentatively lined up for a home start against Boston late next week.

Medina (1-7) took the loss Sunday, allowing four runs (three earned) on four hits and seven walks over five innings against the Blue Jays. He struck out four.

Medina took his seventh loss of the campaign, tied for the eighth-most in baseball, and dished out a season-high seven walks over five frames. Medina's lack of control got him in trouble time and time again, as three of the four runs against him came from runners he issued a walk to, while he also let a run score off a wild pitch. Through 10 appearances (48.2 innings), Medina has stumbled to a 6.84 ERA and a 45:26 K:BB while serving up 2.0 HR/9. He's tentatively scheduled to make another start next weekend at home versus the White Sox.

Kirby (6-7) took the loss Sunday, allowing three runs (two earned) on six hits and one walk over 6.1 innings against the Orioles. He struck out four.

For the second straight appearance, Kirby added a tally to the loss column while also finishing with a quality start. Most of the damage against Kirby came in the third frame, when Anthony Santander launched a two-run homer that plated Jorge Mateo. Despite being tied for the eighth most losses in MLB, Kirby holds a strong 3.26 ERA on the year and has given up just five earned runs over his last three starts (19.1 innings). He is tentatively scheduled to toe the rubber again during a home series versus the Rays next weekend.

Brown allowed one run on three hits and two walks over six innings in Sunday's win over the Dodgers. He struck out seven but did not factor in the decision.

Brown served up a solo homer to Mookie Betts in the first inning but settled in to produce five straight scoreless frames after. Brown has been shaky recently, posting a 4.60 ERA through 29.1 innings over his last five starts. He's sporting a 3.62 ERA with a solid 97:30 K:BB across 87 frames for the season. Brown's next outing is currently lined up to be on the road against the Rangers.

Bradish (4-3) earned the win Sunday, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks over seven innings against the Mariners. He struck out seven.

Bradish tossed a gem Sunday, allowing just two hits across seven innings of work against the Mariners. However, the two hits were extra-base hits by back-to-back batters, as Eugenio Suarez doubled and Cal Raleigh knocked him in on a two-run homer in the second frame. Bradish was exceptional following the long ball and retired 15 straight batters. The start marked the second time Bradish lasted seven innings in his last three starts after failing to go that deep in any of his first 11 appearances. The 26-year-old has now given up three or fewer runs in 12 of his 14 starts this season and will look to build on his impressive resume in his next start, which is tentatively scheduled to come at home against the Twins.

Anderson (4-2) took the loss Sunday versus the Rockies. He allowed three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out nine over six innings.

Anderson picked up his fifth quality start of the year, but he didn't get enough run support to avoid the loss. While he struck out a season-high nine, a home run and a pair of sacrifice flies accounted for the runs on his line. Anderson has had mixed results for much of the year with a 5.54 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 60:33 K:BB over 74.2 innings through 14 starts. He's projected to make his next start at home in a challenging matchup versus the Diamondbacks.

Crawford (2-4) allowed four runs on five hits and a walk while striking out four over six innings, taking the loss Sunday versus the White Sox.

Crawford completed six innings for just the second time in 15 appearances (seven starts) this season. Three of the four runs against him came on a pair of Luis Robert home runs, making this the first time Crawford's given up a long ball since May 22. The right-hander now has a 4.01 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 50:10 K:BB over 51.2 innings this season. He's projected to make his next start in Toronto.

Cole did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing three runs on nine hits and one walk over 4.2 innings against the Rangers. He struck out seven.

Cole posted season-worst marks in hits allowed and innings completed while surrendering more than two runs for the first time since May 28. Before Sunday's outing, the right-hander held a 1.78 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 27:4 K:BB across his first four starts in June (25.1 innings), so it's safe to chalk the poor performance up as an outlier. Cole will look to get back on track next time out, which is tentatively scheduled during a three-game weekend series in St. Louis.
