Brown did not factor into the decision in Monday's 4-3 loss to Texas, allowing one run on three hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out four.

The Houston right-hander earned his third quality start in four outings since the All-Star break with this 97-pitch performance. The only run he allowed came via a Leody Taveras sacrifice fly in the fifth inning. Since the break, Brown has been a reliable starter, pitching to a 2.28 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 25:8 K:BB across 23.2 innings. He looks to keep his string of solid performance rolling in his next appearance, currently scheduled to be in Boston this weekend.

Allen did not factor into the decision in Monday's 7-6 loss versus the Diamondbacks. He allowed two runs on five hits and two walks across five innings.

Allen was recalled to make his first start since July 6 after struggling to a 5.67 ERA in his first 18 starts, barely making it out of the first inning Monday. He gave up back-to-back home runs to the first two hitters he faced and then loaded the bases before barely escaping the opening frame. Allen went on to get through the next four innings unscathed. It's unclear if Allen will get another turn in the rotation, as Alex Cobb (hip) will return this weekend and Triston McKenzie may also get another look after having his best start in the minors his last time out.

Festa (2-2) earned the win Monday against the Cubs, pitching five scoreless innings while allowing two hits and two walks. He struck out nine.

The Minnesota rookie dominated in his first appearance at Wrigley Field, generating 14 whiffs en route to his nine punchouts. After allowing 12 runs in 10 innings over his first two starts, Festa has found a groove in his last three outings, pitching to a 1.88 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 22:5 K:BB across 14.1 innings. The 24-year-old is projected to make his next start against the Guardians at home this weekend.

Gallen did not factor into the decision in a win over the Guardians on Monday, allowing five runs on eight hits and two walks over seven innings. He struck out four.

Gallen snapped a streak of three straight starts with a win despite his team giving him plenty of run support on Monday. Despite throwing at least seven innings for just the second time this season, he just didn't have his best stuff and was constantly in trouble. The 29-year-old hasn't been as sharp as he would like recently, as he's allowed five or more runs in three of his last six outings.

Munoz (2-6) took the loss Monday against the Reds. He allowed six runs (four earned) on seven hits and three walks over 3.2 innings. He struck out two.

Munoz fell victim to the long ball on Monday, allowing multiple home runs in a start for the seventh time in 13 outings this season. The rookie right-hander was coming off his second win of the season but fell back to earth on Monday. Munoz has now allowed at least four runs in seven starts this season and has seen his ERA climb to 5.68 across 69.2 innings.

Hendricks (3-10) took the loss Monday against Minnesota, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk over six innings. He struck out five.

Despite reaching double-digit losses for the third time in his 11-year career, the veteran right-hander posted his third quality start of the season in this 93-pitch outing. Hendricks handcuffed the Twins lineup and tallied five or more punchouts for the fourth time in 2024. Overall, the 34-year-old has pitched to a 6.60 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 65:27 K:BB across 91.1 innings. His next time on the mound is scheduled to be in Cleveland.

Hendricks (3-10) allowed two runs on five hits across six innings to take the loss Monday against the Twins. He walked one and struck out five.

Hendricks pitched well for the second straight start, but rookie David Festa and four Minnesota relievers shut the Cubs down in a 3-0 win. For Hendricks, the five strikeouts are his second most in an outing this year, and he's allowed only five runs across 11 innings in his last two appearances. It's a step in the right direction for the veteran, who still has a rough 6.60 ERA overall. Hendricks will look to keep building momentum in his next scheduled start, which is penciled in for next Monday against the Guardians.

Corbin (2-12) took the loss Monday, allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk over six innings against the Giants. He struck out six.

Things went awry for the veteran southpaw out the gate, as he allowed a leadoff 416-foot homer to Tyler Fitzgerald. Corbin allowed another homer of the three-run variety to Matt Chapman in the third inning, cementing his 12th loss, tying him for the most in the league. It's been another rough season for the 35-year-old, as he now sports a 5.88 ERA and 1.52 WHIP across 127 innings on the year. Corbin is currently scheduled to face the Angels at home in his next start this weekend.

Pallante (4-6) took the loss Monday against the Mets, allowing five runs on five hits and two walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out two.

Pallante worked in and out of trouble over the first four frames Monday, giving up only one run before running into a buzzsaw in the fifth that was capped by a three-run double by Tyrone Taylor. Pallante has pitched well since joining the rotation in late May, posting a 3.61 ERA over 52.1 frames covering 10 starts, but Monday's outing was his fourth start in that span in which he allowed four runs or more. He should get more opportunities to start as long as Lance Lynn remains out, but his days as a starter could end when Lynn returns to the fold.

Manaea (8-4) picked up the win Monday, scattering six hits over seven scoreless innings in a 6-0 victory against the Cardinals. He struck out 10.

Manaea tossed a gem for his second consecutive outing, the first time since 2018 in which he throws back-to-back starts of seven innings without allowing an earned run. Manaea picked up double-digit strikeouts in consecutive starts for the first time in his career. The 32-year-old is 5-1 with a 2.28 ERA over his last 10 starts, the fourth-best ERA in the National League over that span.
