Rodriguez (11-4) allowed two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out nine over seven innings to earn the win over the Dodgers on Sunday.

Rodriguez emptied the tank for this matchup, throwing 79 of 115 pitches for strikes. On the year, he won two of his four games against the Dodgers while allowing just six runs (five earned) over 24 innings, posting a 22:6 K:BB in those starts. Rodriguez has largely been able to pitch well against tough opponents this year, which has helped him work his way to a 2.70 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 101:47 K:BB across 143.1 innings through 24 starts. The southpaw's next start is projected to be in Atlanta. He limited Atlanta to four hits and a walk over seven scoreless innings in a home start April 3.

Boyd (8-1) earned the win against the Royals on Sunday, allowing two runs on five hits and three walks in seven innings. He struck out three.

The Cubs scored runs early and often Sunday, helping Boyd to mostly cruise through seven strong frames. The 35-year-old southpaw has been a model of consistency since the beginning of July, logging five quality starts in his past seven outings while tossing at least six innings each time during that period. Boyd will be looking to keep the good times rolling next in a favorable home matchup against the Cardinals while sporting a 3.50 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 66:23 K:BB over 79.2 innings.

Wrobleski (11-4) allowed four runs (three earned) on six hits and three walks while striking out three over 3.1 innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Diamondbacks.

Wrobleski has now given up 17 runs (16 earned) over 20 innings since the All-Star break. He's surrendered nine home runs in that span, though he gave up just one long ball in his short start Sunday. Wrobleski appears to have hit the wall in his first full season as a starter in the majors, and it wouldn't be shocking if he was optioned out or demoted to the bullpen when Blake Snell (elbow) returns from the 60-day injured list to start Tuesday versus the Royals. On the year, Wrobleski has a 3.44 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 94:27 K:BB through 120.1 innings.

The Diamondbacks confirmed that Soroka (glute) will be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Monday's vrersus the Rockies at Chase Field, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Soroka has been on the shelf since June 20 while recovering from a strained left glute, but he needed just one rehab start to prove his health. The 29-year-old worked four innings and tossed 57 pitches in an outing Tuesday with Triple-A Reno, giving up one earned run on three hits and two walks while striking out a batter. The Diamondbacks will likely keep Soroka's workload in check Monday in his first MLB start in over seven weeks, but he'll be a welcome addition to the rotation nonetheless. Prior to getting hurt, Soroka was experiencing a resurgence in 2026, posting a 3.07 ERA and 1.09 WHIP with 79 strikeouts over 82 innings with Arizona.

Luzardo didn't factor into the decision in Sunday's extra-innings win over Toronto, allowing two runs on four hits and a walk across seven innings. He struck out 12.

It was another dominant outing from Luzardo, who's now held opponents to two runs or fewer in 10 of his last 11 starts. He's gone 6-1 with a 2.04 ERA and 96 strikeouts across 70.2 innings in that span. The left-hander has lowered his ERA to 3.32 through 24 starts (143.2 innings) this season with a 1.14 WHIP and 176 strikeouts, the fifth most in the majors. Luzardo is currently lined up to face the Twins on the road his next time out.

Dobnak (2-1) took the loss against the Cubs on Sunday, allowing four runs on 10 hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out four.

Regression appeared to be looming for Dobnak, who had managed to give up just four runs altogether in his prior six starts (31 innings) despite posting a troubling 15:13 K:BB during that stretch. Sunday marked the third time in his career that he conceded double-digit knocks, and the right-hander has still yet to exceed four strikeouts in an outing this year. Dobnak has a 2.00 ERA across 36 frames, but a 1.33 WHIP and particularly a 19:14 K:BB remain causes for concern going forward.

Prielipp took a no-decision against the Brewers on Sunday, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out seven.

Prielipp bookended his outing poorly, serving up a Jackson Chourio home run in the first inning before coughing up two more runs in the fifth, but he did register 15 whiffs Sunday. The seven punchouts were the southpaw's most since June 28 versus the Rockies, which also represents his last quality start. Prielipp will be tough to trust when he brings a shaky 4.79 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 88:32 K:BB over 82.2 innings into his next scheduled outing at home against Philadelphia.

Jones (2-4) took the loss Sunday against the Mets, allowing eight runs on six hits and three walks over three innings. He struck out three.

It was a rough outing for the 25-year-old Jones, who's now lost three straight starts while giving up 11 runs in just seven innings across his last two outings. Jones' ERA is up to 5.03 through 13 starts (59 innings) this season with a 1.20 WHIP and 65:19 K:BB. He'll look to turn things around his next time out, currently lined up for next week at home against the Red Sox.

Misiorowski took a no-decision against the Twins on Sunday, allowing three runs on four hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out nine.

The All-Star right-hander boasted his usual electrifying stuff, generating 22 whiffs in a quality start. Misiorowski also recorded his 200th strikeout of the season in only 129.1 innings to become the second-fastest pitcher in MLB history to reach 200 punchouts behind only Spencer Strider, who needed only 123.1 frames to attain that figure in 2023 for Atlanta, per Casey Drottar of MLB.com. Misiorowski is set to bring a 1.76 ERA, 0.74 WHIP and 204:30 K:BB over 133 innings into a tough road assignment against the Dodgers.

Singer (5-11) took the loss Sunday against the Nationals, allowing three runs on eight hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out three.

While Singer came away with a loss Sunday, the right-hander did log his fifth quality start in his last six outings. He's posted a 3.86 ERA across 37.1 innings in that span. Overall, Singer sports a 4.66 ERA with a 1.43 WHIP and 100:40 K:BB across 23 starts (119.2 innings) this season. He's currently in line to face the Marlins at home his next time out.
