Musgrove (8-2) yielded three hits over six scoreless frames Sunday, striking out seven and earning a win over the Mets.

While he allowed only three singles, Musgrove also plunked four batters. Still, his final line was dominant, and he's gone 7-0 over his last nine starts. During that stretch, he's posted an impressive 54:8 K:BB through 55.1 frames. Musgrove dropped his season ERA to 3.29 with a 79:17 K:BB through 14 starts.

Corbin (6-10) earned the win Sunday, allowing one run on five hits and one walk over seven innings against the Rangers. He struck out six.

After taking the loss in five of his last six starts, Corbin picked up a win against one of baseball's top offenses Sunday. He got off to an incredible start, retiring each of the first 10 batters he faced to end up with one run against him across seven frames. The left-hander has had a rollercoaster stretch of starts, allowing six or more runs in two of his past four starts but has given up just one run between his other two appearances. Overall, Corbin owns a 4.89 ERA through 19 starts, a solid improvement from his ugly 6.31 ERA in 2022. Corbin's tentatively scheduled to make his next start during a three-game series with St. Louis right after the All-Star break.

Hendricks allowed four runs on 10 hits across 5.2 innings and did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Yankees. He had no walks and struck out five.

Hendricks displayed his typical good control but allowed a season-high 10 hits in an uneven performance. He had allowed a total of 10 hits across 13 innings in his last two starts, so Sunday's outing may just be a blip on the radar. Hendricks has been solid overall with a 3.04 ERA and 1.03 WHIP across 53.1 innings this year. The veteran is penciled in to start Chicago's first game after the All-Star break on Friday.

Webb (8-7) allowed seven hits over nine shutout frames Sunday, striking out 10 and earning a win over the Rockies.

Webb was outstanding Sunday, scattering seven hits (five singles) during his first career complete game. He ended the terrific outing with a bang by striking out the side in the ninth inning. Webb recorded just 30 strikeouts in 38.1 innings during June, but he's posted a 21:2 K:BB over his last two starts. Over his last 15 starts he's registered a 2.73 ERA. The 26-year-old enters the All-Star break with a 3.14 ERA and a 127:23 K:BB through 126 frames on the year.

Matz allowed an unearned run on two hits and struck out nine over 5.1 innings in a no-decision versus the White Sox on Sunday.

Matz was taken out of the rotation in late May and showed well as a reliever with a 2.81 ERA and 1.13 WHIP over 16 innings across eight relief appearances. He carried over the success in a return to the rotation Sunday, as he was charged with only one run on an RBI single by Elvis Andrus in the third inning. Matz concludes a challenging first half with a 4.65 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 69:25 K:BB over 71.2 innings through 19 appearances (11 starts). With the rest of the Cardinals' rotation lacking consistency, Matz may have a good chance to remain a starter following the All-Star break.

Freeland suffered a dislocated right shoulder in Sunday's start against the Giants, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

His non-throwing shoulder popped out and then popped back in, and Freeland was sent for X-rays after the game. It's unclear if he will be placed on the injured list or if he will be able to pitch through the injury. Freeland gave up one run through 6.1 innings before exiting Sunday.

Elder (7-2) was charged with the loss Sunday in Tampa Bay after he gave up seven runs on six hits and four walks across 3.1 innings. He did not record any strikeouts.

The rookie right-hander generated just four swinging strikes on 69 pitches as the Rays struck for four runs in the first inning and three more in the fourth. It's the first time in 18 starts this season Elder failed to pitch at least five frames, and the seven runs allowed are also a season worst. Even with Sunday's poor showing, the 24-year-old still finished the first half of the campaign with a 2.97 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 80:34 K:BB in 106 innings.

Nola (8-6) was charged with the loss Sunday against the Marlins after he gave up five runs (four earned) on eight hits and no walks across six innings. He struck out six.

It was an unceremonious close to the first half for Nola, as he surrendered three home runs in a start for the second time this season. The right-hander came into Sunday's contest having won three of his past four outings, but he's now allowed at least four earned runs in 10 of his 19 starts this year. Nola enters the All-Star break with an underwhelming 4.39 ERA though 119 innings, though his 1.11 WHIP and 120:30 K:BB provide some reason for optimism.

Miley (6-2) allowed four hits and three walks while striking out eight over six shutout innings to earn the win Sunday over the Reds.

Miley posted his fifth scoreless outing of the season, three of which have come in his last five starts. The strong showing lowered his ERA to 3.06 with a 1.15 WHIP and 46:9 K:BB through 67.2 innings over 13 starts this year. Miley's next start will likely be on the road, either as a rematch in Cincinnati or in Philadelphia depending on how the Brewers order their rotation following the All-Star break.

Luzardo (8-5) earned the win against the Phillies on Sunday after he allowed two runs on four hits and one walk over 6.1 innings. He struck out nine.

The left-hander blanked Philly until the fifth inning, when Edmundo Sosa launched a two-run home run. Luzardo otherwise pitched well and combined for 29 called and swinging strikes as he struck out at least eight batters for the fourth straight start. The 25-year-old posted a 3.32 ERA in 18 starts last year and nearly replicated those figures during the first half of this season with a 3.29 ERA through 19 outings.
