Kelly struck out eight in seven shutout innings while allowing three hits and two walks in a 1-0 loss Sunday in Atlanta. He did not factor into the decision.

Kelly efficiently mowed through the Atlanta lineup, needing just 91 pitches to complete seven frames. Only once did Atlanta threaten to score, when they had two on and one out in the second, but Kelly quickly got out of it with a groundball double play. The 33-year-old was masterful in July, going 4-0 with a 1.31 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 33:8 K:BB in 41.1 innings across six starts. He allowed two runs or fewer and tossed at least six innings in each July outing. His next start will likely be next weekend against Colorado.

Marquez (6-9) allowed five runs (four earned) on six hits and two walks with four strikeouts in six innings, taking the loss Sunday versus the Dodgers.

Marquez's problems with the Dodgers continued, as he's now allowed 15 runs (14 earned) in 22.1 innings against the NL West leaders this year. The right-hander's stretch of three straight quality starts came to an end Sunday in his second consecutive loss. For the season, Marquez has a 5.29 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 95:40 K:BB across 115.2 innings in 20 starts. He's projected for a road start in Arizona next week.

Gonsolin (12-1) allowed three runs on five hits, a walk and a hit batsman while striking out six over five innings to earn the win over the Rockies on Sunday.

Gonsolin limited the damage to the third inning, when he gave up a solo home run to Brian Serven and a two-run single to Randal Grichuk. Gonsolin did well enough to earn his first win in his last three starts. He still has a 2.41 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 96:28 K:BB across 104.2 innings in 19 starts this year, but the shine is coming off as the right-hander has surrendered 12 runs in his last 16 innings. He'll look to steer out of the skid in his next projected start, currently scheduled to be a home start versus the Padres next weekend.

Davies (shoulder) is starting Monday against the Guardians, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.

Davies spent just over a month on the injured list due to right shoulder inflammation, but he resumed mound work July 23 and faced live batters Tuesday at the Diamondbacks' spring training complex. Over his five starts prior to his absence, he posted a 2.56 ERA and 0.95 WHIP in 31.2 innings.

Miley (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Sunday and is scheduled for a rehab start with Triple-A Iowa this week, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Miley made his first rehab outing Friday with High-A South Bend and allowed five runs (four earned) across 2.1 innings. The veteran left-hander is set to make another start in the minors this week, which will come Wednesday if he remains on a typical five-day pitching schedule. Miley may require an additional rehab outing or two after this week since he's been sidelined over seven weeks with the shoulder injury.

Manager Craig Counsell said Peralta (lat) will return from his rehab assignment and join the Brewers during the upcoming series in Pittsburgh, which begins Tuesday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

The 26-year-old made his second minor-league rehab start with Triple-A Nashville on Friday and threw 52 pitches across 3.1 innings, and the team has apparently seen enough to bring him back to the major-league club. Peralta isn't fully stretched out and may not immediately reclaim his spot in the starting rotation, and if that's the case he'll likely work in tandem with another pitcher for his first outing or two as he continues to build up his workload. He had a 4.42 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 50:13 K:BB across 38.2 innings (eight starts) before suffering the lat strain in late May.

Carrasco (11-4) earned the win over Miami on Saturday, allowing four hits and two walks while striking out seven batters over 7.2 scoreless innings.

Carrasco dominated the Marlins, allowing only one extra-base hit and preventing any runners from reaching third base en route to his 100th career victory. The veteran hurler was efficient, throwing 63 of 93 pitches for strikes in his second-longest outing of the campaign. Carrasco went through a rough patch in June but has turned things around dramatically in July, posting a 0.90 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 27:9 K:BB over 30 innings while compiling a 3-0 record. He's held his opponent scoreless in each of his past three starts and hasn't allowed any runs across his past 18.2 frames.

Suarez gave up three hits, one walk and no runs while striking out eight over six innings in a 2-1 win over the Pirates on Saturday. He did not factor into the decision.

Suarez took advantage of the weak Pirates offense to churn out his best start of the season. The only trouble Suarez faced was a bases-loaded jam in the fourth inning brought about by a walk and a hit batter, but he got out of the inning and cruised to his third strong appearance in a row. Suarez has not given up an earned run over three starts in July and has lowered his ERA to 3.60. He will look to continue his strong stretch of play when he takes the mound in another favorable matchup next week against the Nationals.

Keller gave up one earned run on five hits and three walks while striking out three over six innings in a 2-1 loss to the Phillies on Saturday. He did not factor into the decision.

Keller issued a couple of early free passes and found himself in a bases-loaded jam in the first inning, but he got out of the frame with a couple of timely punchouts. He cruised through another five innings with the only damage coming on a J.T. Realmuto solo shot to right. After getting knocked around at the beginning of the season, Keller has been very effective in July, posting a 2.61 ERA over five starts. He will carry a 4.37 ERA and 1.42 WHIP into his next start.

Mahle (5-7) gave up two earned runs on five hits and no walks while striking out seven over six innings to earn the win in an 8-2 victory over the Orioles on Saturday.

Mahle got into some trouble early in the game and tripped on the mound to balk in a run, but he settled into a groove and strung together five consecutive scoreless innings to earn his fifth win of the season. The 27-year-old right-hander has now thrown four quality starts in a row to lower his ERA to 4.40. Mahle is expected to be a trade-deadline target and could find himself making his next start for a contending team that will likely provide more consistent run support than the Reds. If he is not traded, he tentatively lines up for a start next week at Milwaukee.
