Corbin (2-4) took the loss against the Rangers on Friday after giving up five earned runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out five batters across 4.1 innings.

Corbin didn't do himself any favors by allowing the first three batters he faced to reach base, all of whom would eventually come around to score before the veteran lefty recorded his second out. He then gave up a two-run homer to Justin Foscue in the third frame that would prove to be the deciding factor in the game. Corbin has now failed to complete the fifth inning in each of his last four starts and has given up at least five earned runs twice in that span.

Rogers (5-7) picked up the win Friday, allowing one run on five hits over 6.1 innings in a 3-1 victory over the Nationals. He struck out seven without walking a batter.

The southpaw delivered his second straight win and third straight quality start on 87 pitches (65 strikes) as he continues to put a shaky first couple months of 2026 behind him. Over five starts in June, Rogers has locked in and produced a 2.05 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 23:6 K:BB over 30.2 innings. He'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, which is scheduled to come at home next week against the White Sox.

Eovaldi (8-7) earned the win Friday against the Blue Jays, giving up five hits and one walk while striking out nine batters over seven shutout innings.

The Rangers' offense gave Eovaldi a 3-0 lead to work with before he threw his first pitch of the game, and he did everything he could to prevent the Blue Jays from closing the gap. The 36-year-old righty didn't allow more than one baserunner in an inning until his final two frames, but he managed to escape both jams without allowing a run, thanks to a double-play ball from Vladimir Guerrero in the sixth and a couple of timely strikeouts to finish the seventh. Eovaldi has now logged three consecutive wins and quality starts while posting a 24:3 K:BB across 20 innings in that span, giving him plenty of momentum heading into his next start against Cleveland.

Skenes came away with a no-decision Friday, giving up four runs on six hits and two walks over five innings as the Pirates fell 6-4 to the Reds. He struck out seven.

All four runs against the right-hander came in a rough second inning that saw the first five Cincinnati hitters reach base before Skenes finally recorded outs on back-to-back sacrifice flies. It's the first time since May 23 that Skenes has been tagged for more than two earned runs, and through five starts in June he's delivered a 3.58 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 39:8 K:BB through 27.2 innings. He'll look for his first win since May 12 in his next outing, which lines up to come on the road next week in Philadelphia.

Abbott didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 6-4 win over the Pirates, giving up four runs (three earned) on six hits -- including three home runs -- and a walk over 5.1 innings. He struck out six.

The southpaw was able to limit the damage despite being taken deep by Konnor Griffin in the first inning and Marcell Ozuna and Esmerlyn Valdez in the sixth, with Abbott leaving a 4-4 tie after 94 pitches (64 strikes). It's the first time in five June starts that Abbott's served up multiple homers, but on the season he's been tagged for 15 long balls in just 90 innings to fuel what would be a career-worst 3.90 ERA. He'll try to tighten things up in his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road next week in Milwaukee.

Montero (4-5) picked up the win in Friday's 8-0 victory over the Astros, scattering five hits and a walk over seven scoreless innings. He struck out three.

With his mind on the devastation back home after two recent earthquakes, the Venezuelan right-hander produced one of his best outings of the season en route to his seventh quality start of 2026. Montero fired 70 of 96 pitches for strikes, and Houston didn't even get a runner past second base until his final frame. Over five appearances (four starts) in June, Montero sports a 2.70 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 13:3 K:BB in 26.2 innings. Jack Flaherty (ankle) is expected to come off the IL this weekend with Justin Verlander (hamstring) potentially not far behind him, so the Tigers' rotation could get very crowded ahead of the All-Star break, but for now Montero is set to make his next start on the road next week against the Rangers.

Arrighetti (7-4) took the loss Friday, coughing up eight runs on five hits -- including three home runs -- and five walks over three-plus innings as the Astros were routed 8-0 by the Tigers. He struck out seven.

The right-hander continues to regress after his early-season success, serving up three long balls for a second straight start while getting tagged with the loss in a third straight outing. During that losing streak, Arrighetti has stumbled to a 10.80 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 22:6 K:BB over 15 innings, with his strikeouts allowing him to maintain some marginal fantasy appeal. He'll try to turn things around in his next start, which lines up to come at home next weekend against the Rays.

Soroka (glute) is expected to begin throwing bullpen sessions twice weekly starting Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

Soroka, who landed on the 15-day injured list June 20 due to left glute discomfort, appears likely to miss more than the minimum amount of time. A clearer target date for his return from the IL should become available once he advances to facing hitters.

Bradley did not factor into the decision Friday versus the Rockies, giving up two runs on three hits and three walks over seven innings. He struck out seven.

Bradley fired seven scoreless innings but returned for the eighth, when he allowed a double and a walk that came around to score after his exit. The Minnesota bullpen then surrendered five runs during the ninth inning to prevent him from picking up his seventh win of the season. Despite that misfortune, it's still a second consecutive quality outing for Bradley, who has allowed just two runs in both of his past two starts to lower his season-long ERA to 3.98 through 15 games.

Sugano did not factor into the decision Friday, allowing seven runs on eight hits and one walk over five innings against the Twins. He struck out two.

The Japanese right-hander quickly put Colorado in a hole by serving up two-run homers in the first and second innings before surrendering three more tallies in the fifth. The Rockies stormed back to temporarily take the lead in the ninth inning and get Sugano off the hook for the loss before Minnesota walked it off in the 10th. The no-decision ends a run of four straight wins for Sugano, though he had an inflated 5.14 ERA during that stretch since he allowed six earned runs versus the A's on June 29. A matchup with the Marlins is likely on deck for him next week.
