Wood (5-0) allowed one run on eight hits and a walk while striking out six in six innings to earn the win against the Pirates on Sunday.

Wood's dominant start to the season continued Sunday as he picked up his fifth win in his first six starts. He allowed baserunners in each of his six innings but was able to limit Pittsburgh's run production. The left-hander has posted a 1.75 ERA and 0.94 WHIP in 36 innings across his first six starts of the year. Wood tentatively lines up to make his next start at home against the Dodgers on Friday.

Lopez (1-3) allowed two earned runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out three across five innings to earn the win over the Dodgers on Sunday.

Lopez allowed two runs to cross in the second inning, but he otherwise shut out one of MLB's top offenses in his remaining four frames. The 25-year-old has had a good season despite notching just one win in nine starts. Excluding two starts in which he allowed six runs each, he has surrendered only five runs in 40.2 innings. Through 49 innings in 2021, Lopez has a 3.12 ERA and 46 strikeouts. His next start is tentatively scheduled for Friday against the Mets.

Senzatela allowed a run on four hits and a walk with three strikeouts in seven innings Sunday versus Cincinnati. He hit two batters and did not factor in the decision.

While the right-hander didn't display the best control, it was a noticeable improvement from Tuesday, when he gave up four runs in five innings in his first start back from a groin injury. Sunday's outing was Senzatela's third quality start of the season. He's been inconsistent with a 5.18 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 25:12 K:BB across 41.2 innings. He projects to face Arizona next weekend.

Peralta (4-1) yielded two hits and a walk over six scoreless innings Sunday, striking out eight and earning the win over Atlanta.

Peralta picked up a victory despite Milwaukee's bullpen coughing up nine runs in just three innings thanks to a 10-run outburst by the offense. He allowed just two singles and only one Atlanta runner reached scoring position against him. Over his last two starts, the 24-year-old has struck out 18 batters while allowing three hits over 13 shutout frames. He's now sporting a terrific 2.40 ERA and 69:19 K:BB across 45 innings this season. Peralta is currently lined up to take the mound in Cincinnati next weekend.

Ynoa (4-2) allowed five runs on nine hits and two walks over 4.1 innings Sunday, striking out six and taking a loss against Milwaukee.

Ynoa simply couldn't get through an easy inning Sunday. He managed to escape the first two frames without allowing a run despite putting runners in scoring position. The 22-year-old righty then gave up a two-run double in the third and another RBI double in the fourth before he was removed shortly after serving up a two-run blast to Avisail Garcia in the fifth. Ynoa had allowed just four runs over his previous 24.1 frames and still owns a strong 3.02 ERA this season. He'll look for better results in his projected start at home against the Pirates next weekend.

Garrett was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

The 23-year-old was called up by Miami on Saturday and surrendered three runs over three frames in his season debut. Garrett will head to Triple-A for now but figures to rejoin the Marlins at some point later in the year.

DeGrom (side) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Tuesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

The 32-year-old was able to play catch Friday and will return to mound work Tuesday, one week after being placed on the injured list. DeGrom could return from the injured list Friday in Miami if all goes well during the bullpen session.

Anderson didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 8-6 win over the Giants, giving up four runs on six hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out seven.

The southpaw got taken deep by Darin Ruf and Brandon Crawford in the first inning, putting him in a quick 3-0 hole, and Anderson left the game in line for his fourth loss before a late rally by Pittsburgh got him off the hook. The outing snapped a string of three straight quality starts for Anderson, and he sports a 3.50 ERA and surprisingly solid 44:14 K:BB through 46.1 innings on the season.

Cueto didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 8-6 loss to the Pirates, allowing two runs on eight hits over 4.1 innings. He struck out two without walking a batter.

The veteran righty got handed an early lead and held the Bucs scoreless for four innings, but Cueto benefited from two double plays behind him and when his luck finally ran out in the fifth, he got the hook. It's the second straight start in which he's given up eight hits while failing to complete five innings. Cueto will take a 3.62 ERA and 22:5 K:BB through 27.1 innings into his next outing.

Williams didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 9-8 extra-inning loss to the Tigers, giving up three runs on two hits and two walks over two innings. He struck out two.

The right-hander got staked to a 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning but immediately squandered it by coughing up three runs in the bottom of the frame, and after Williams escaped another jam in the second, Cubs manager David Ross had seen enough. Williams hadn't lasted longer than four innings in any of his last three starts, with the rough patch ballooning his ERA to 6.27, and his 11.4 percent walk rate on the year is the worst of his career.
