Miller allowed one hit and two walks over six shutout frames in Sunday's loss to the Yankees. He struck out seven and did not factor in the decision.

Miller issued a pair of walks in the first inning but didn't allow a hit until the fifth. He forced double-digit whiffs for the first time at the MLB level, collecting 14 on Sunday, including 11 via the slider. Through three career MLB starts, he's registered a 16:4 K:BB and a 1.06 ERA in 17 frames. Miller's next start is currently lined up to be in Philadelphia.

Gallen allowed three runs (two earned) on nine hits and a walk over six innings in Sunday's loss to Atlanta. He struck out six and did not factor in the decision.

It wasn't Gallen's sharpest outing as he gave up a season-high nine hits, but he escaped with just two earned runs against him. The 27-year-old also coughed up a homer for the first time since April 4. After a brutal outing against the Pirates, he's given up two or fewer earned runs in three straight starts, resulting in a 2.75 ERA across 78.2 frames. Gallen's next start is projected to be in Detroit.

Soroka yielded four runs on seven hits and four walks over 3.2 innings in Sunday's win over the Diamondbacks. He struck out two and did not factor in the decision.

Soroka coughed up three runs in the first followed by two more in the fourth, including a pair of home runs. He's allowed nine runs over 9.2 innings in two starts since rejoining Atlanta for the first time since 2020. Including his Triple-A numbers, the 25-year-old has recorded a 40:17 K:BB through 45 frames. If Soroka gets another turn in the rotation, it'll likely come at home against the Nationals.

DeSclafani (4-5) allowed six runs (five earned) on five hits and three walks while striking out two over three innings Sunday in a loss to Baltimore.

All of the damage came in the third inning. DeSclafani has allowed at least five runs in three of his last six starts, a puzzling stretch of struggles for the veteran right-hander after he started the year well. He's also walked multiple batters in three of his last four starts. He's at a decent 3.97 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 51:12 K:BB through 70.1 innings over 12 outings this season. DeSclafani is projected to make his next start at home versus the Cubs.

Alcantara did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing five runs on six hits over seven innings against the Athletics. He struck out seven.

Alcantara was excellent Sunday, apart from the third inning, when he allowed five runs on four hits. More importantly, Alcantara didn't issue a walk after allowing three or more free passes in his previous three outings. The 27-year-old right-hander has yet to return to his 2022 form, posting a 5.07 with a 1.22 WHIP and 67:25 K:BB in 12 starts (76.1 innings) this season.

Senga did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing four runs (three earned) on four hits and five walks over 2.2 innings against the Blue Jays. He struck out three.

It took Senga 68 pitches to record just eight outs Sunday. The Japanese right-hander has issued four or more walks in six of his last eight starts in an inconsistent rookie campaign. Senga's 5-3 with a 3.75 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 73:36 K:BB through 11 starts (57.2 innings) this season.

Lively (3-3) took the loss Sunday, allowing five runs on six hits and three walks over seven innings against Milwaukee. He struck out five.

Lively got off to a rough start Sunday, allowing a three-run homer to Andruw Monasterio in the first inning. However, the 31-year-old right-hander settled down and held Milwaukee to two runs over his next six innings. Lively had been pitching well coming into Sunday's outing -- he hadn't allowed more than two runs in any of his previous three starts. He now sports a solid 3.03 ERA with a 1.01 and 29:8 K:BB through 29.2 innings this season.

Houser (2-1) earned the win Sunday, allowing a run on six hits over seven innings against the Reds. He struck out two.

Houser has held opponents to one run or fewer in three of his last four outings. He blanked Cincinnati for six innings Sunday, allowing a lone run on Jake Fraley's solo home run in the seventh. Houser's ERA is down to 3.45 with a 1.44 WHIP and 19:7 K:BB across six starts (31.1 innings). The 30-year-old right-hander is currently lined up for a solid matchup with the A's at home in his next outing.

Williams (2-4) took the loss Sunday, allowing four runs on six hits and four walks over 5.2 innings against the Phillies. He struck out six.

Williams continues to struggle with his command and has walked 10 batters over his past three appearances. During that stretch, he's surrendered 15 hits and 13 runs (seven earned), including six home runs. Things certainly haven't gone as planned during his first campaign in Washington, but his 4.15 ERA and 1.34 WHIP across 12 appearances (60.2 innings) are good enough for him to remain on fantasy radars. Williams will face another stiff test during his next start, which is tentatively scheduled during a three-game weekend set in Atlanta.

Suarez (1-2) earned the win Sunday, allowing one run on eight hits and one walk over seven innings against the Nationals. He struck out three.

Suarez finished a season-high seven innings and allowed a season-low one run. It was the best start of the year for the left-hander, who began the campaign on the injured list with an elbow issue. Over his past two starts, Suarez has given up just three runs across 13.2 innings, but he's posted a modest 7:3 K:BB during that stretch. Either way, he's finding his groove after a slow start and will look to stay strong during his next outing, which is tentatively scheduled during a three-game weekend set versus the Dodgers.
