Boyd (5-8) allowed five runs on seven hits and one walk across six innings while taking the loss Sunday against the White Sox. He struck out seven.

Boyd was actually quite effective aside from a third-inning collapse in which he allowed five runs on five hits, including a three-run home run by Matt Davidson. He threw a hefty 74 percent of pitches for strikes, including first-pitch strikes to 23 of 26 batters, but he was made to pay for numerous location errors. Boyd has endured a miserable run of form lately, allowing a whopping 25 earned runs over 23.2 innings over his last six outings. He will take a disappointing 6.32 ERA into Friday's start against the Indians.

Morton was tagged for three runs on four hits with one walk and five strikeouts over five innings in Sunday's no-decision against the Angels.

Even though he only issued one walk, command was a problem for Morton. It took the veteran right-hander 88 pitches to get through five innings, and he plunked two hitters along the way. While his team ultimately came out on top, Morton will be disappointed with himself for not snagging personal win number 11 after being staked to a 4-0 lead through four innings. That elusive victory could well come in his next start, which is scheduled for Saturday against the Mets.

Nolasco surrendered four runs on six hits with two walks and four strikeouts over six innings in Sunday's no-decision against the Astros.

This result exceeded expectations considering Nolasco came in with a 5.05 ERA and had failed to pitch six full innings in any of his previous four starts. Houston's top-ranked offense got to him early, scoring two runs on a first-inning Jose Altuve homer and tacking on two more in the fourth. Los Angeles' offense took Nolasco off the hook with five runs over the next two innings combined, but his team ultimately lost the game 7-5. His next start is scheduled for Saturday in Texas.

Giolito (1-1) tossed seven scoreless innings in Sunday's win over the Tigers, allowing three hits and three walks with four strikeouts.

Giolito was outstanding in this one, throwing 69 percent of his pitches for strikes and allowing just three men past first base. He loaded the bases in the seventh inning but was able to battle through the jam to cap off a successful day. Giolito struggled with the long ball in his season debut Tuesday, but he was much more effective this time out as he delivered a quality start. He will look to build off of this excellent outing Saturday against the Rays.

Miley (8-10) gave up one run on seven hits and three walks over five innings in Sunday's victory over the Red Sox.

Although the Red Sox were able to get plenty of baserunners with Miley on the mound, they were only able to get one across the plate as Miley picked up his second straight win. Miley's pitch count ran high (101), and there wasn't much control, as just 59 of his pitches were strikes. However, Miley was still able to keep the opposition from scoring as Sunday marked the fifth time that he's allowed two runs or fewer over his last six outings. He'll look to carry his momentum into his next scheduled start, which figures to come Saturday against the Blue Jays.

Gibson (8-10) allowed two runs on seven hits and a walk over 6.2 innings to earn the win Sunday against the Blue Jays. He struck out seven.

Gibson allowed a run on consecutive hits in the second inning but was able to settle down and navigate through the next 4.2 frames while only allowing one additional run to come across. Despite owning a rather unappealing 5.61 ERA, he's notched two straight quality starts and could become more worthy of fantasy utility if this continues. He'll square off against the Royals on Friday.

Carrasco (13-6) threw seven shutout innings and struck out eight batters in Sunday's victory over the Royals.

Carrasco's control was on full display, as he didn't walk a single batter and gave up just six hits over the course of the contest. It was a much-needed recovery for Carrasco, who'd given up six runs over 6.2 innings in his previous outing, which came against the Red Sox. Carrasco's next start figures to come in Saturday's doubleheader versus the Tigers. The righty has had a string of successful starts when facing the Detroit club this season, going 3-1 with a 2.36 ERA in four matchups against them.

Bundy (personal) is listed as the Orioles' probable starter for Tuesday's game against the Mariners, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

Bundy left the team Friday and was placed on the bereavement list, but he won't be forced to miss a turn in the rotation as a result. Look for the Orioles to officially activate Bundy ahead of the Tuesday start and send a reliever to Triple-A Norfolk in order to facilitate the transaction.

Albers (2-1) suffered his first loss of the season Sunday against the Yankees. He allowed eight runs (three earned) on 11 hits and two walks while striking out four over five-plus innings.

Albers was far from sharp Sunday, but the Mariners' defense did him absolutely no favors, as they committed five errors in the first inning alone. The southpaw threw 78 of his 105 pitches for strikes, and the Yankees had no problem turning those strikes into an impressive 11 base hits over five-plus innings. The 31-year-old now owns a 4.20 ERA over his first three starts this season and will look for a more favorable result in his upcoming Saturday start against the Athletics.

Gray (8-8) allowed one run on three hits and two walks, while striking out nine over seven innings to earn the win over the Mariners on Saturday.

Gray bounced back from his first ever start without a strikeout to punch out nine -- the most he's had since ringing up 10 in an early June start with Oakland. The 27-year-old was sharp all day in this one, and the only damage done was a solo shot in the third inning. Gray still hasn't allowed more than two earned runs in 11 consecutive starts, and he'll look to keep that run going in a tough matchup Thursday against the Red Sox.
