Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol was noncommittal when asked Sunday whether Fedde would make his next start, which is tentatively set for Saturday versus Atlanta, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. "I think we have to use [Monday] as a day we take a step back and figure out what that looks like," Marmol said, regarding his plans for the rotation.

Fedde was charged with three earned runs on two hits and four walks while recording only four outs in Sunday's loss to the Cubs. He's been clobbered for 17 earned runs with a 2:9 K:BB over 10 innings covering his last three starts. Michael McGreevy started Sunday at Triple-A Memphis and would likely be the replacement in the rotation for Fedde if the Cardinals decide to make a change.

Hart (3-2) struck out two over 3.2 perfect innings of bulk relief to earn the win Sunday over the Rangers.

Hart was sharp following opener David Morgan, who gave up one run on four hits and a walk in 1.1 innings. Hart had struggled in earlier stints in the majors, but this was a positive outing. He's now at a 5.83 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 19:6 K:BB across 29.1 innings over seven games. There's an open spot in the rotation even with Yu Darvish (elbow) set to make his season debut Monday, so Hart could stick around in the majors after replacing Stephen Kolek on the big-league roster.

Boyd (9-3) allowed three hits and a walk while striking out nine over five shutout innings to earn the win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

Boyd was at 87 pitches (60 strikes) after five frames, but the Cubs were ahead 11-0 at the time, so they had no need to push the starter for another inning. He's strung together eight starts allowing two runs or fewer, with his nine strikeouts Sunday representing a season high. Boyd has a 40:8 K:BB in that span and a 96:23 K:BB to go with a 2.52 ERA and 1.07 WHIP through 103.2 innings over 18 starts this season. His next start is projected to be on the road versus the Yankees.

Fedde (3-9) allowed three runs on two hits and four walks while failing to record a strikeout over 1.1 innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Cubs.

Fedde needed 53 pitches (26 strikes) to get the four outs. After giving up seven runs in each of his last two outings, it looks like Fedde was on a short leash for this one. He's also walked nine batters over his last 10 innings, and his BB/9 on the year is at 4.3 through 18 starts. Fedde will have trouble getting things back on track if he continues to issue such a high number of free passes. He's added a 4.79 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 57:45 K:BB across 94 innings this season. He's tentatively projected to make his next start at home versus Atlanta.

Dollander did not factor in the decision during Sunday's win over the White Sox. He allowed three runs on five hits and four walks over 3.2 innings while striking out two.

Dollander worked through two scoreless frames with little issue before unraveling. He coughed up a pair of runs in the third inning and another in the fourth. He fired 92 pitches (50 strikes) despite not finishing four innings. Dollander has combined to throw 6.1 frames over his last two outings and has failed to complete five innings in eight of his 15 big-league outings. He now owns an unsightly 6.68 ERA with a 52:33 K:BB across 68.2 frames. Dollander is currently in line for a start in Cincinnati next weekend.

Cabrera (3-3) took the loss against the Brewers on Sunday, allowing two runs on five hits and no walks with five strikeouts over seven innings.

Cabrera's only blemish was a two-run homer by Jackson Chourio in the third inning, as he completed seven frames for the second straight outing. The 27-year-old extended an impressive run, having now allowed three earned runs or fewer in 11 consecutive starts dating back to May 4. He'll carry a 3.33 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 80:30 K:BB across 78.1 innings into a road matchup with the Orioles next weekend.

Woodruff (1-0) earned the win against the Marlins on Sunday, allowing one run on two hits and no walks with eight strikeouts over six innings.

Woodruff dominated in his first big-league start in 652 days, with the lone blemish being a solo homer in the fifth inning. He needed just 70 pitches to deliver a quality start, generating 10 whiffs while averaging 93 mph with both his fastball and sinker. It was an encouraging return for the 32-year-old, who will look to build on the outing in a favorable matchup against the Nationals next weekend.

Skenes pitched five scoreless innings, allowing five hits and no walks in a no-decision Sunday at Seattle. He struck out 10.

Despite a short 78-pitch outing, the Pittsburgh ace managed to notch his first double-digit strikeout performance of the season. Skenes completely dominated the Mariners lineup to mark his fifth walk-free start of the season while allowing just one extra-base hit -- a Julio Rodriguez double in the third. Skenes now sports a stellar 1.94 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 125:30 K:BB across 116 frames. The 23-year-old was named to his second consecutive All-Star team Sunday and is currently scheduled to make his last appearance before the break at Minnesota next weekend.

Sheehan did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Astros. He allowed one run on five hits and one walk over five innings with four strikeouts.

The 25-year-old right-hander looked sharp in this 80-pitch outing, as he averaged 96.1 mph on his fastball after sitting at 95.2 mph in his only other appearance June 18 against San Diego. The only run Sheehan allowed came on a sacrifice fly by Jose Altuve in the third. After dominating Triple-A with a 43.0 percent K-BB across 17.2 frames, Sheehan looks set to stick in the Los Angeles rotation. He'll carry a 2.00 ERA and 10:1 K:BB across nine big-league innings into his next start, which is currently scheduled to be at San Francisco next weekend.

Nola (ankle, rib) threw a bullpen session prior to Sunday's series finale against the Reds, per MLB.com.

Nola came away with no issues and is expected to continue his throwing progression through the All-Star break in mid-July. The veteran right-hander is rehabbing from a sprained right ankle and subsequent stress fracture in his right rib, and he'll have been on the injured list for over two months by the time play resumes following the Midsummer Classic. Fantasy managers shouldn't anticipate having Nola available until sometime in early-to-mid August at this point, as the hurler will likely need to make a handful of minor-league rehab starts before rejoining Philadelphia's rotation.
