Burrows did not factor into the decision in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Blue Jays, allowing one run on two hits and one walk with three strikeouts over six innings.

Burrows allowed a run in the first inning but cruised from there, retiring the final seven batters he faced and logging his first quality start since May 27. The 26-year-old seems to have benefited from having his turn in the rotation skipped last time around after allowing 16 runs (13 earned) through his first three June starts. He'll carry a 5.48 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 69:31 K:BB across 85.1 innings this season into a home matchup with the Twins next week.

Soriano took a no-decision Wednesday against the Orioles, allowing five runs on six hits and two walks in three innings. He struck out four.

Soriano didn't have his best stuff on the bump Wednesday, as half of the hits allowed went for extra bases. The 27-year-old right-hander has regressed dramatically following an incredible start to the season that saw him post a 0.24 ERA through six starts -- he's given up at least three runs in seven of his last 11 outings. Soriano still holds a respectable 3.41 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 102:48 K:BB over 95 innings, and his next scheduled appearance is set to come at pitcher-friendly T-Mobile Park versus the division-rival Mariners.

Imanaga (5-6) earned the win Wednesday against the Mets, allowing four runs on four hits and one walk while striking out four over 5.1 innings.

All four runs Imanaga allowed came via the long ball, as Francisco Alvarez, A.J. Ewing and Mark Vientos each took the left-hander deep. Wednesday continued a troubling trend in which he has surrendered three or more home runs in four of his last six starts. Fortunately for Imanaga, Chicago's offense provided plenty of run support, allowing him to pick up his first victory since May 7. Entering Wednesday, the 32-year-old had posted a 6.64 ERA in his previous seven starts, losing four of them. He'll carry a 4.40 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 88:23 K:BB into his next scheduled outing, which is expected to come during a series against the Padres next week.

Gibson took a no-decision Wednesday against the Angels, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks in four innings. He struck out five.

Gibson was serviceable Wednesday, holding the Angels to two runs over four innings. Baltimore still hasn't trusted the rookie right-hander to work particularly deep into starts, as Gibson has pitched into the sixth inning just one time across his first seven outings. He has a shaky 5.64 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 25:19 K:BB across 30.1 innings, but Gibson is set to take at least one more turn through the big-league rotation next week against the White Sox while the Orioles wait for Dean Kremer (quadriceps) to complete his rehab assignment.

Yesavage did not factor into the decision in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Astros, allowing one run on two hits and five walks with five strikeouts over 5.2 innings.

Yesavage allowed a run in the first inning but kept the Astros off the board from there, falling one out shy of a quality start and departing in a 1-1 tie. Despite a solid result, the 22-year-old has now issued five or more walks in three of his past five outings. He'll take a 3.56 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 58:30 K:BB across 60.2 innings this season into a home matchup against the Mets next week.

Suarez took a no-decision Wednesday against the Rockies, allowing three runs (two earned) on seven hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out nine.

Facing a tough assignment at hitter-friendly Coors Field, Suarez fared well on the hill Wednesday. The 30-year-old left-hander fell just one strikeout short of matching his season-high output, also turning in his second consecutive quality start and third in his past four outings. Suarez will take a steady 2.94 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 84:25 K:BB over 82.2 innings into his next scheduled start at home versus the Nationals.

Freeland took a no-decision Wednesday against the Red Sox, allowing six runs on 11 hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out four.

Freeland was hit hard Wednesday, giving up a staggering eight extra-base hits (two home runs). The 33-year-old southpaw has been knocked around for double-digit hits three times already this year, and he's now surrendered at least six runs on six occasions as well. Freeland has a disastrous 7.50 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 61:17 K:BB across 72 innings, making him an unappealing fantasy option for his next scheduled start at home versus the Marlins.

Nola did not factor into the decision in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Nationals, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out five.

Nola's night got off to a shaky start, as he gave up two runs on a pair of solo homers in the first two innings. However, he'd settle in and hold Washington scoreless over his final three frames before the Phillies rallied late in a one-run victory. While Nola's pitched better of late, allowing four runs over 10 innings in his last two starts, he's failed to make it through six innings in any of his last five outings. Overall, his ERA sits at 5.58 with a 1.45 WHIP and 82:27 K:BB across 80.2 innings. Nola is tentatively lined up to face the Pirates at home in his next start.

Cameron (4-5) took the loss Wednesday against the Rays, allowing five runs on eight hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out five.

It was a tough night for Cameron, who gave up three runs in the third inning and another two in the fourth. The left-hander has now given up 12 earned runs over 14.1 frames in his last three starts after posting a 1.13 ERA across 24 innings in his previous four outings. Cameron will look to turn things around in his next start, currently scheduled as a rematch with the Rays at home next week.

Ashcraft (7-3) earned the win Wednesday over the Mariners, allowing a run on five hits over six innings. He struck out 10.

After allowing a run on three straight singles to open the first inning, Ashcraft settled in and held Seattle to just two additional hits over his final five frames en route to his seventh victory this season. The 26-year-old Ashcraft has held opponents to two runs or fewer while going at least six frames in seven of his last 10 outings. His ERA is down to 3.07 through 16 starts (96.2 innings) with a 1.09 WHIP and 107:22 K:BB. Ashcraft is currently in line for a tough road matchup with the Phillies his next time out.
