Bradley (4-5) took the loss Sunday against Houston, allowing one unearned run on three hits and two walks over seven innings. He struck out 10.

Bradley and Hunter Brown were locked into a pitchers' duel Sunday, with the duo combining to allow just four hits and zero earned runs. So, a fielding error by Junior Caminero followed by an RBI single by Christian Walker was enough to give Bradley his third loss in his last four starts. Bradley has allowed fewer than three earned runs in six of his last seven starts, and he's now thrown seven innings in back-to-back outings. On the year, Bradley has a 3.95 ERA and a 64:27 K:BB over 70.2 innings. He's on track to face the Marlins next time out.

Brown (8-3) picked up the win Sunday against Tampa Bay, allowing one hit and four walks with five strikeouts over six scoreless innings.

Only 49 of Brown's 93 pitches found the strike zone Sunday, but he navigated the lack of control masterfully to notch his fifth scoreless start of the campaign. Brown's four walks tied his season high, and his one hit allowed was a season best. However, Brown failed to strike out eight batters for just the second time in eight starts. In 12 appearances this season, Brown has a sparkling 1.83 ERA and an 84:20 K:BB over 73.2 innings, and he leads MLB in quality starts with 10. His next start is tentatively scheduled to come against the Guardians in Cleveland.

Double-A Corpus Christi placed Nezuh on its 7-day injured list Friday due to an unspecified injury.

A 23-year-old righty, Nezuh compiled a 4.98 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 40:12 K:BB over 34.1 innings in his eight appearances (seven starts) with Corpus Christi before being deactivated.

Double-A Corpus Christi placed Fleury on its 7-day injured list May 18 due to an unspecified injury.

The Astros have yet to provide information on the nature of Fleury's injury, but he's now been sidelined since mid-May and remains without a clear timeline for a return. Before being shut down, Fleury made seven starts for Corpus Christi and delivered a 2.25 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 34:9 K:BB across 32 innings.

Kochanowicz (3-7) yielded four runs on five hits and three walks over 3.2 innings Sunday, striking out four and taking a loss against Cleveland.

Kochanowicz delivered two scoreless frames to open the game before coughing up a run in the third inning. The Guardians then scored three in the fourth inning, including one on a solo shot by Jose Ramirez. Kochanowicz has given up four runs in three straight outings, raising his ERA from 4.71 to 5.34 in the process. He threw just 48 of 84 pitches for strikes Sunday in his shortest outing of the year. Kochanowicz is currently slated to face the Mariners at home next weekend.

Williams (5-3) yielded two unearned runs on one hit and two walks over 6.2 innings, striking out six and earning a win over the Angels on Sunday.

Williams fired six scoreless frames before the Angels finally plated a pair of runs in the seventh inning. Both runs scored after he was removed from the game but were unearned due to a fielding error by Gabriel Arias. Williams threw 60 of 103 pitches for strikes but generated only 11 whiffs. He threw a season-high 109 pitches in his previous outing. Williams dropped his ERA to 3.79 with a shaky 66:34 K:BB through 59.1 frames. His next start is projected to be a home matchup with the Astros.

Montero did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 1-0 win over the Royals, allowing seven hits and one walk while striking out two over 4.2 scoreless innings.

Montero threw 53 of 72 pitches for strikes and departed one out short of qualifying for the win. The 24-year-old has now tossed back-to-back scoreless outings but has failed to complete five innings in three of his six starts this season. He'll carry a 4.02 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 26:16 K:BB across 40.1 innings into what will likely be a home matchup against the Cubs next weekend.

Bubic (5-3) took the loss against the Tigers on Sunday, allowing one run on four hits and two walks with nine strikeouts over seven innings.

Bubic induced a whopping 18 whiffs on 99 pitches and allowed just one run on a wild pitch in the third inning. He has now worked seven frames in four of his past five starts, recording nine punchouts three times in that span. The southpaw leads the majors with a 1.43 ERA and carries a 1.00 WHIP and 79:22 K:BB across 75.1 innings. He's slated for a favorable road matchup against the White Sox next weekend.

Mullins (shoulder) has struck out six batters over 5.1 scoreless innings while scattering two hits and four walks in his two starts for Double-A Portland since being activated from the 7-day injured list May 25.

Mullins was sidelined for about three and a half weeks after experiencing right shoulder fatigue, but he hasn't missed a beat since rejoining the Portland rotation. Through his first three outings at the Double-A level since getting a promotion from High-A Greenville in late April, Mullins owns an 0.82 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 16:8 K:BB across 11 frames.

Aldegheri is expected to join the Angels in Boston for their three-game series beginning Monday, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.

Aldegheri will return to the big leagues after spending the entirety of the 2025 campaign with Double-A Rocket City so far. The left-hander has produced a 4.34 ERA with 48 strikeouts over 47.2 innings in nine starts with the Trash Pandas to this point. It's unclear what role the 23-year-old will have with the Angels, but he compiled a 4.85 ERA and 1.92 WHIP with 10 punchouts over 13 innings in three starts with the team in 2024.
