Peralta (12-10) took the loss Sunday, allowing four runs on nine hits and no walks over three innings against Miami. He struck out four.

The Marlins peppered Peralta for nine hits, equaling his season high last given up April 15 against San Diego. The results Sunday were highly unusual as the Brewers starting pitcher had produced a 2.42 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 99:16 K:BB over 70.2 innings in the second half before this outing. Perhaps the Marlins were able to take advantage of Peralta's average fastball velocity sitting at 93.5 mph, down a tick from its normal 94.5 mph. He'll look to bounce back in his final start of the season, currently scheduled to be at home against the Cubs.

Winans (1-2) allowed two runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out six over five innings, taking the loss in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader versus the Nationals.

Winans did fine in this outing, but Atlanta's offense didn't supply enough run support. He's kept opponents to two runs or fewer in four of his five major-league starts this season. The right-hander is at a 4.33 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 32:6 K:BB through 27 innings. With Charlie Morton (finger) on the injured list, Winans may be able to pick up one more start in the regular season, which would be tentatively set as a rematch at home against the Nationals.

Rutledge (1-1) allowed a run on three hits and two walks while striking out four over five innings to earn the win in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader versus Atlanta.

Rutledge turned in a second straight solid performance, keeping Atlanta's high-powered offense in check. After allowing seven runs over 3.2 innings in his debut, he's given up just three runs across his last 11.1 innings. The right-hander also sports an 8:4 K:BB at the major-league level this year. Rutledge is tentatively lined up for one more outing, which would be a rematch in Atlanta next weekend.

Gallen (17-8) earned the win Sunday, allowing three hits and two walks over six scoreless innings against the Yankees. He struck out eight.

It was an impressive performance from Gallen after he was tagged for 10 earned runs over 10 innings in his previous two outings. He's now second in the league with 17 wins as he lowered his ERA to 3.49 with a 1.11 WHIP and 213 strikeouts through 33 starts (203.2 innings) this season. Gallen will look to cap a strong regular season on a high note in his next start, currently scheduled for next week against Houston.

Williamson did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk over 4.1 innings against Pittsburgh. He struck out three.

Williamson allowed only two baserunners through four innings but was tagged by a Jack Suwinski solo homer to lead off the fifth. Williamson then allowed a one-out double to Henry Davis followed by an RBI single by Jason Delay and was removed after 74 pitches. Following a stretch during which he worked into the sixth in eight of nine starts, Williamson has failed to get through the fifth in each of his last three appearances. The rookie has started 22 games for the Reds spanning 111 innings and will carry a 4.54 ERA into his final start of the regular season, scheduled to take place next weekend in St. Louis.

Priester did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing two runs on two hits and five walks over six innings in a 4-2 loss against the Reds. He struck out four.

Priester allowed no hits through five, but following a Jonathan India single to lead off the sixth, TJ Friedl hit a two-run homer to break up the shutout. Priester allowed no more damage to complete six innings for the second consecutive outing and earn his first career quality start. He entered the contest with an 8.61 ERA spanning 38.2 innings over eight appearances (six starts) in his first big-league season, but finally showed why the Pirates made him their first-round draft selection in 2019. He'll look to build off Sunday's effort with one more 2023 appearance, currently slated to take place next weekend at home against Miami.

Bido was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday.

The right-hander has a 6.36 ERA across 46.2 big-league innings this season, and he'll rejoin the big club with Bailey Falter (neck) headed to the injured list. Bido has started in eight of his 14 MLB outings this year, though it's unclear if he'll step into the rotation for Falter.

Falter was placed on the 15-day injured list with neck soreness and overall fatigue Sunday, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

The left-hander was tagged for eight earned runs over two innings Saturday in Cincinnati, and his season will end a week early due to the injuries. Falter struggled as a rotation piece for both the Phillies and Pirates this year, and he closes the campaign with a 5.36 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 60:20 K:BB across 80.2 innings.

Wright will be available out of the bullpen beginning with Sunday's doubleheader against the Nationals, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Wright struggled in two starts since being activated from the 60-day injured list with 10 runs allowed over seven innings, so he'll receive a look out of the bullpen in anticipation of potentially filling that role in the playoffs. The right-hander was a key rotation piece for Atlanta last season with a 3.19 ERA in 30 starts, but he has a 7.71 ERA in seven outings this year while missing most of the campaign with a shoulder strain.

Winans was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett and will start Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Nationals.

The right-hander was sent to Gwinnett on Sept. 11 after making a spot start for Atlanta, and he'll rejoin the big-league rotation Sunday with Charlie Morton (finger) landing on the injured list. Winans has a 4.50 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 26:4 K:BB across 22 big-league innings this season.
