Jose Urena SP | LAA
Tigers' Jose Urena: Not expected to miss start
Urena (lower leg) is not expected to miss a start, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
It seemed like Urena was fine after he was struck in the leg by a line drive Saturday -- he was seen celebrating with his teammates after the walkoff win -- and manager A.J. Hinch confirmed Sunday that Urena will remain on schedule. Urena has worked around a lot of traffic on the basepaths (1.45 WHP) to a decent ERA (4.22) so far. He lines up to face the Royals in Kansas City in his next start.

Domingo German SP | PIT
Yankees' Domingo German: Cruises to third win
German (3-2) picked up the win in Saturday's 8-2 victory over the Orioles, allowing one run on four hits and two walks over six innings while striking out six.
The Yankees handed him a 3-0 lead before he even set foot on the mound in Baltimore, and German kept the O's off the board until his final inning of work. The right-hander fired 53 of 80 pitches for strikes in his second straight quality start and fourth of the year, and he'll take a 3.62 ERA and 37:8 K:BB through 37.1 innings into his next outing.

Dane Dunning SP | SEA
Rangers' Dane Dunning: Lasts four innings Saturday
Dunning (2-3) was tagged with the loss Saturday against the Astros after allowing four runs on seven hits and three walks while fanning three across four innings.
Dunning was coming off a dominant performance the last time out with 10 strikeouts, but he was unable to repeat that outing and fanned only three this time -- his second-worst mark of the season in that category. Dunning has now allowed four or more runs in three of his last five appearances. His next start is scheduled for next week at home against the Yankees.

Luis Garcia SP | NYY
Astros' Luis Garcia: Tosses five strong innings
Garcia (1-3) earned the win Saturday against the Rangers by allowing one run on five hits and two walks while fanning five across five innings.
Garcia has yet to pitch six complete innings this season, but he has allowed just one run in three of his last five appearances. He owns a 4.20 ERA across 15 innings in three starts this month. His next start is scheduled for next week against the Athletics on the road.

Cole Irvin RP | LAD
Athletics' Cole Irvin: Misses out on win
Irvin gave up one run on five hits and two walks across 6.2 innings during Saturday's 5-4 loss at Minnesota. He had two strikeouts and didn't factor in the decision.
The left-hander surrendered a run during the first inning but otherwise blanked the Twins to deliver his fourth straight quality start, though the bullpen surrendered four runs during the eighth inning to squander the victory. Irvin has pitched well in 2021 with a 3.02 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 39:8 K:BB over 48.2 innings.

Carlos Rodon SP | NYY
White Sox's Carlos Rodon: Worst performance of season so far
Rodon (5-1) was tagged with the loss Saturday against the Royals after allowing four runs on eight hits and three walks while fanning five across 5.2 innings.
Rodon was initially scheduled to start Thursday against the Twins but was pushed back after experiencing back and hamstring tightness, and there's a chance those issues might have been the reason why he posted his worst outing of the campaign to date. However, the fact that he still owns a 1.47 ERA after giving up four runs Saturday illustrates just how dominant he's been all year long. His next start will come next week at the Yankees.

Jose Berrios SP | TOR
Twins' Jose Berrios: Takes no-decision Saturday
Berrios allowed four runs on eight hits and zero walks over seven innings during Saturday's 5-4 win over Oakland. He had six strikeouts and didn't factor in the decision.
The 26-year-old covered six-plus frames for the third straight start Saturday, but a two-run homer from Matt Olson during the opening frame put the right-hander in an early hole. Berrios has a 3.74 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 49:14 K:BB across 45.2 innings this season.

Martin Perez SP | ATL
Red Sox's Martin Perez: Fires six shutout frames
Perez (1-2) earned the win Saturday against the Angels after giving up three hits and four walks while recording five strikeouts across six scoreless innings.
The 30-year-old tied a season high with four walks, but he otherwise gave up only three singles to keep the Halos off the board. Perez has a 3.40 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 37:16 K:BB through 39.2 innings (eight starts) in 2021.
