Pallante (8-8) yielded one run on a hit and two walks over seven innings Sunday, striking out four and earning a win against Cleveland.

Pallante kept the Guardians off the board through five innings before finally coughing up a run in the sixth. It was his second straight seven-inning performance after failing to complete six frames in each of his previous three outings. He registered a 13:3 K:BB while allowing only one run and earning a pair of wins in his last two starts. Pallante lowered his season ERA to 3.71 with a 90:48 K:BB through 116.1 innings. He's scheduled to wrap up his 2024 season with a start in San Francisco this weekend.

Darvish did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 4-2 win over the White Sox, allowing two runs on three hits while striking out nine over 6.1 innings.

Outside of a pair of solo home runs from Korey Lee and Miguel Vargas, Darvish made the White Sox hitters look silly and tied his season high with nine strikeouts. He threw 87 pitches, which is the most he's thrown in four starts since returning from the injured list. Darvish also became the first Japanese-born pitcher to reach 2,000 career strikeouts in MLB. Darvish has now allowed two runs or fewer while reaching at least five innings in each of his last three starts and lines up for a start against the Diamondbacks before the end of the regular season.

Senzatela did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Dodgers, allowing one run on five hits and two walks while striking out two over five innings.

The Rockies gave Senzatela a quick 3-0 lead in the first and he departed after five innings with a 4-1 lead with his only mistake being a fourth-inning solo homer by Teoscar Hernandez. Senzatela is in search of his first win since the 2022 season and was let down by his bullpen after they gave up three in the seventh and two more in the ninth. He'll have one more chance to get in the win column before the end of the campaign, and it will be a rematch with the Dodgers in Colorado this weekend.

Yamamoto did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Rockies, allowing four runs on five hits and three walks while striking out four over three innings.

Yamamoto was unusually wild in Sunday's outing, walking three batters for the first time in his MLB career and throwing just his second wild pitch all season. The Rockies nearly batted around the order against him in the first inning, which led to three runs before later adding a fourth in the third. It was the 26-year-old righty's worst outing in three starts since returning from the injured list, and he lines up for a road rematch in Colorado this weekend. Yamamoto now owns a 2.96 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 99:22 K:BB in 85 innings during his rookie season.

Snell (5-3) allowed two hits and a walk over six shutout frames Sunday, striking out nine and earning a win over the Royals.

Snell did not allow a runner to reach scoring position in his dominant performance. He generated 12 whiffs on 88 total pitches and, at one point, struck out five straight batters. Snell has yielded two or fewer runs in eight consecutive starts, resulting in a terrific 1.31 ERA and 65:19 K:BB during that span. He owns a 3.12 ERA through 104 innings this season, but looking at his numbers since returning from the injured list July 9, that number drops to 1.23 through 80.1 frames. Snell's final start of the 2024 campaign is projected to be next weekend at home against the Cardinals.

Greene (9-5) took the loss Sunday against the Pirates, allowing one earned run on two hits and one walk while striking out four in three innings.

Making his first start since Aug. 13, Greene threw only 45 pitches in his three innings of work. Greene allowed a solo home run to Oneil Cruz in the opening frame, but he shook off the rust afterwards, allowing just two more baserunners while striking out four. The 25-year-old's workload will be heavily scrutinized next weekend against the Cubs in what will be the final start of Greene's breakout 2024 season. The right-hander currently sports a robust 2.83 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 166:54 K:BB in 146.1 innings (25 starts).

Skenes (11-3) pitched five shutout innings to pick up the win Sunday against Cincinnati, allowing two hits and zero walks while striking out nine.

Skenes was flawless outside of a pair of singles, racking up 25 called-plus-swinging strikes en route to nine strikeouts. Skenes threw a season-low 73 pitches Sunday after throwing 98 or more in each of his previous three starts. The 22-year-old is tentatively scheduled to start next weekend against the Yankees, but the Pirates are sure to be very cautious with their prized rookie in his final start of a lost season. If this is it, Skenes would finish a historic rookie season with a sparkling 1.99 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 167:32 K:BB in 131 innings (22 starts).

Hall made appearances out of the bullpen in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Diamondbacks and in Sunday's 10-9 win in the series finale with Arizona, giving up four earned runs on five hits and one walk while striking out four in 3.1 innings between the two outings.

Hall made a spot start last Sunday -- also against the Diamondbacks -- but shifted back to the bullpen while the Brewers scaled back to a five-man rotation. The southpaw could be a candidate to make another spot start during the final week of the regular season if the Brewers' postseason seeding is solidified and the team wants to prioritize ordering its rotation for the playoffs.

Imanaga (15-3) allowed six hits and struck out four without walking a batter over seven shutout innings to earn the win over the Nationals on Sunday.

Imanaga is up to 15 wins, and he's secured a victory in each of his last six starts, all of which have been quality. In that span, he's allowed just 10 runs over 40 innings (2.25 ERA) despite yielding seven home runs. Imanaga lowered his ERA to 2.91 with a 1.02 WHIP and 174:28 K:BB through 173.1 innings over 29 starts this season. The 31-year-old southpaw is tentatively projected to conclude his first major-league season with a home start versus the Reds.

Irvin (10-13) allowed five runs on four hits and four walks while striking out three over four innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Cubs.

Irvin yielded three home runs, which accounted for four of the five runs he surrendered. He's struggled with the Cubs both times he's faced them this year, allowing 12 runs over 8.2 innings in those starts. Irvin is now at a 4.22 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 153:49 K:BB across 183.1 innings through 32 starts. His last start of the season is projected to be at home versus the Phillies.
