Grant Holmes SP | ATL
Braves' Grant Holmes: Goes six scoreless frames again
Holmes did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 2-1, extra-inning win over the Yankees, allowing three hits and two walks while striking out two over six scoreless innings.
Holmes needed just 77 pitches to cruise through six scoreless innings, generating 10 swinging strikes while limiting the Yankees to one extra-base hit. The 30-year-old has now delivered back-to-back scoreless quality starts, and he's yielded three earned runs or fewer in 16 straight appearances dating back to May 12. He'll carry a 3.47 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 94:48 K:BB across 114 innings this season into a home matchup with the Diamondbacks next weekend.

Eduardo Rodriguez SP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Eduardo Rodriguez: Bounces back for 11th win
Rodriguez (11-4) allowed two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out nine over seven innings to earn the win over the Dodgers on Sunday.
Rodriguez emptied the tank for this matchup, throwing 79 of 115 pitches for strikes. On the year, he won two of his four games against the Dodgers while allowing just six runs (five earned) over 24 innings, posting a 22:6 K:BB in those starts. Rodriguez has largely been able to pitch well against tough opponents this year, which has helped him work his way to a 2.70 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 101:47 K:BB across 143.1 innings through 24 starts. The southpaw's next start is projected to be in Atlanta. He limited Atlanta to four hits and a walk over seven scoreless innings in a home start April 3.

Matthew Boyd SP | CHC
Cubs' Matthew Boyd: Continues to provide length
Boyd (8-1) earned the win against the Royals on Sunday, allowing two runs on five hits and three walks in seven innings. He struck out three.
The Cubs scored runs early and often Sunday, helping Boyd to mostly cruise through seven strong frames. The 35-year-old southpaw has been a model of consistency since the beginning of July, logging five quality starts in his past seven outings while tossing at least six innings each time during that period. Boyd will be looking to keep the good times rolling next in a favorable home matchup against the Cardinals while sporting a 3.50 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 66:23 K:BB over 79.2 innings.

Justin Wrobleski SP | LAD
Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Struggles again Sunday
Wrobleski (11-4) allowed four runs (three earned) on six hits and three walks while striking out three over 3.1 innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Diamondbacks.
Wrobleski has now given up 17 runs (16 earned) over 20 innings since the All-Star break. He's surrendered nine home runs in that span, though he gave up just one long ball in his short start Sunday. Wrobleski appears to have hit the wall in his first full season as a starter in the majors, and it wouldn't be shocking if he was optioned out or demoted to the bullpen when Blake Snell (elbow) returns from the 60-day injured list to start Tuesday versus the Royals. On the year, Wrobleski has a 3.44 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 94:27 K:BB through 120.1 innings.

Mike Soroka SP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Michael Soroka: Starting Monday
Soroka (glute) will start Monday's contest on the mound versus the Rockies, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Soroka was rumored to be on track to make his return to a major-league mound Monday, and the Diamondbacks confirmed that to be the case following Sunday's 4-2 win over the Dodgers. Soroka has been sidelined since late June while recovering from a strained left glute, and he was able to toss 57 pitches in his only rehab start Tuesday with Triple-A Reno. The 29-year-old will likely be on a pitch count in his first major-league start in over seven weeks, but he'll be a welcome addition to the rotation nonetheless. Prior to getting hurt, Soroka was experiencing a resurgence in 2026, posting a 3.07 ERA and 1.09 WHIP with 79 strikeouts over 82 innings in 15 starts with Arizona.

Jesus Luzardo SP | PHI
Phillies' Jesus Luzardo: Logs 12 strikeouts Sunday
Luzardo didn't factor into the decision in Sunday's extra-innings win over Toronto, allowing two runs on four hits and a walk across seven innings. He struck out 12.
It was another dominant outing from Luzardo, who's now held opponents to two runs or fewer in 10 of his last 11 starts. He's gone 6-1 with a 2.04 ERA and 96 strikeouts across 70.2 innings in that span. The left-hander has lowered his ERA to 3.32 through 24 starts (143.2 innings) this season with a 1.14 WHIP and 176 strikeouts, the fifth most in the majors. Luzardo is currently lined up to face the Twins on the road his next time out.

Jared Jones SP | PIT
Pirates' Jared Jones: Rough day vs. New York
Jones (2-4) took the loss Sunday against the Mets, allowing eight runs on six hits and three walks over three innings. He struck out three.
It was a rough outing for the 25-year-old Jones, who's now lost three straight starts while giving up 11 runs in just seven innings across his last two outings. Jones' ERA is up to 5.03 through 13 starts (59 innings) this season with a 1.20 WHIP and 65:19 K:BB. He'll look to turn things around his next time out, currently lined up for next week at home against the Red Sox.

Jacob Misiorowski SP | MIL
Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Reaches 200 Ks in quality start
Misiorowski took a no-decision against the Twins on Sunday, allowing three runs on four hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out nine.
The All-Star right-hander boasted his usual electrifying stuff, generating 22 whiffs in a quality start. Misiorowski also recorded his 200th strikeout of the season in only 129.1 innings to become the second-fastest pitcher in MLB history to reach 200 punchouts behind only Spencer Strider, who needed only 123.1 frames to attain that figure in 2023 for Atlanta, per Casey Drottar of MLB.com. Misiorowski is set to bring a 1.76 ERA, 0.74 WHIP and 204:30 K:BB over 133 innings into a tough road assignment against the Dodgers.

Brady Singer SP | CIN
Reds' Brady Singer: Falls to Nats
Singer (5-11) took the loss Sunday against the Nationals, allowing three runs on eight hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out three.
While Singer came away with a loss Sunday, the right-hander did log his fifth quality start in his last six outings. He's posted a 3.86 ERA across 37.1 innings in that span. Overall, Singer sports a 4.66 ERA with a 1.43 WHIP and 100:40 K:BB across 23 starts (119.2 innings) this season. He's currently in line to face the Marlins at home his next time out.

Kyle Harrison SP | MIL
Brewers' Kyle Harrison: Good to go Tuesday
Harrison (calves) is listed as the Brewers' probable starting pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Padres, Hunter Baumgardt of Fox Sports 920 Milwaukee reports.
The left-hander departed his previous start Wednesday versus Pittsburgh after striking out 10 across five scoreless frames due to bilateral calf cramps, but he's ready to take his next turn through the rotation. That start was Harrison's first following a month-long absence due to forearm issues, so the club may be cautious with his workload for his next couple of outings.
