Suarez came away with a no-decision in Sunday's win against the Padres, allowing three earned runs on five hits and three walks while striking out two batters in 4.2 innings.

Suarez was staked a 6-0 lead in the third inning, but a rocky fifth frame prevented the veteran from earning his sixth win of the season. The 34-year old was not sharp with his command, throwing just 55 percent of his pitches for strikes while registering an ugly 2:3 K:BB. Suarez has struggled mightily over his last three starts, pitching to a 10.03 ERA, 1.71 WHIP and 9:6 K:BB in 11.2 innings. The right-hander will look to bounce back in his next start, tentatively scheduled for next weekend in Cleveland.

Arrighetti (4-9) allowed three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out eight over six innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Dodgers.

Arrighetti produced a baseline quality start, but he faded late by giving up a solo shot to James Outman in the fifth inning and a two-run blast to Gavin Lux in the sixth. This was the first time in four starts Arrighetti was tagged for multiple home runs. On the bright side, he's gone at least six innings in four of his last six starts, and he's limited opponents to three runs or less in three of those games. The rookie right-hander is at a 5.58 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 104:47 K:BB through 92 innings over 19 starts this season. He's tentatively projected to make his next start at home versus the Rays.

Vasquez (3-6) took the loss Sunday against the Orioles, allowing six earned runs on four hits and four walks while striking out two batters in two innings.

Vasquez made it through the first two innings without allowing a run, but a disastrous third inning cut his day short. The 25-year-old failed to record an out in the third, yielding four earned runs before exiting the game with two runners on base, both of whom would come around to score. The right-hander struggled with control, walking four batters while throwing just 55 percent of his pitches for strikes. Vasquez had been on a roll before Sunday's outing, pitching to a 1.71 ERA in 26.1 innings over his previous five starts. Vasquez will look to bounce back in his next start, currently scheduled for next weekend versus the Rockies.

Povich is expected to be called up from Triple-A Norfolk to start Game 2 of the Orioles' doubleheader with the Blue Jays on Monday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Povich was sent down to Norfolk right before the All-Star break, but he'll make his return to the major-league roster Monday. The left-hander has produced a 6.27 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 24:18 K:BB over 33 innings in seven starts with Baltimore this season. Povich will look to take advantage of his latest opportunity with the big-league club while also getting another crack at Toronto's lineup, which scratched across six runs on five hits against the southpaw in his major-league debut June 6.

Peterson (5-1) was saddled with the loss Sunday, allowing four runs on four hits and three walks over five innings against Atlanta. He struck out seven.

Peterson faced just one batter over the minimum through three frames but allowed six of the first seven batters to reach base during a four-run fourth inning that led to Peterson taking his first loss of the season. It's only the second time in 10 starts Peterson has allowed more than two earned runs. He'll carry a 3.52 ERA and 1.47 WHIP into his next start, scheduled to take place in Anaheim against the Angels.

Allard came away a the no-decision in Sunday's loss to the Guardians, allowing three earned runs on six hits and zero walks while striking out one in four innings.

Called up to fill Ranger Suarez's (back) rotation spot, Allard underwhelmed in his 2024 debut, inducing just three swinging strikes en route to one strikeout. The southpaw managed to make it through the first three frames unscathed before surrendering a three-run home run to Jhonkensy Noel in the fourth inning. With a career 6.10 ERA and 1.43 WHIP across 245 innings, the 26-year-old Allard won't be a recommended fantasy option moving forward.

Cobb (hip/shoulder) popped a blister on his right index finger during his final rehab start Friday, which will push back his season debut from the two-game series against Oakland on Tuesday and Wednesday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

It's yet another delay for the veteran right-hander, who has been on the shelf all season due to hip and shoulder injuries. The blister isn't expected to be a significant hurdle for Cobb, however, and he should still be able to make his season debut during next weekend's series at Cincinnati.

Eflin will make his Orioles debut in Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader against the Blue Jays, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Eflin will toe the rubber for the first game Monday as he looks to get his tenure with Baltimore off to a strong start. He last pitched Wednesday, coincidentally versus Toronto, surrendering two runs over 5.2 innings while striking out four batters. In four starts in July, the right-hander has produced a 4.76 ERA and 1.32 WHIP with 18 strikeouts over 22.2 frames.

Ober (10-5) earned the win Sunday, allowing one hit and two walks over eight scoreless innings against the Tigers. He struck out 11.

Ober was at his best Sunday, allowing merely two walks and a leadoff single to Matt Vierling in the fourth while blanking the Tigers through eight. It was the seventh consecutive quality start for Ober, who was able to complete eight innings for the second time this season. The 6-foot-9 righty lowered his season ERA to 3.76 with the outing and has performed at a Cy Young-caliber level during this most recent seven-game stretch, going 5-1 while holding a 1.86 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 56 strikeouts over 48.1 innings. Ober is slated to make his next start against the White Sox, ironically the only team to place a blemish against his record during his current hot streak.

Cantillo escaped with a no-decision in Sunday's win against the Phillies, allowing three earned runs on four hits and three walks while striking out three in 3.1 innings.

Called up Sunday to make his MLB debut, Cantillo struggled against a potent Phillies offense. Kyle Schwarber took Cantillo deep two times -- a leadoff home run in the opening frame and a two-run shot in the third. The 24-year-old southpaw struggled with his command, walking three batters while using 75 pitches to get through 3.1 innings. If Cantillo remains in the Guardians rotation, he lines up to face the Orioles next weekend, which will be another tough test for the rookie.
