Chandler did not factor into the decision in an 11-5 win over the Nationals on Sunday, allowing four runs on six hits and four walks without recording a strikeout over four innings.

Chandler needed 86 pitches, just 47 of which were strikes, to get through four innings. The 23-year-old right-hander has now given up nine runs over 10.1 innings in his last two starts after posting a 2.82 ERA across 22.1 frames in his prior four outings. Overall, Chandler is 3-8 with a 4.82 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 79:52 K:BB across 89.2 innings this season. He'll look to get back on track his next time out, currently scheduled to come at home next weekend against the Brewers.

Bradish (5-9) took the loss Sunday against the Reds, allowing three runs on five hits and a walk over 7.2 innings. He struck out five.

Bradish pitched well Sunday, as he held the Reds to two runs on Spencer Steer's fifth-inning homer before giving up another run on a two-out hit in the eighth. However, Baltimore failed to provide Bradish with enough run support in an eventual 3-2 defeat. The right-hander has now dropped back-to-back starts, though he's given up just seven earned runs across 27.1 innings in his last four outings. Overall, Bradish's ERA sits at 3.75 with a 1.40 WHIP and 101:48 K:BB across 18 starts (100.2 innings) this season. He's tentatively in line to face the Royals at home his next time out.

Lodolo (3-2) earned the win Sunday over the Orioles, allowing a run on six hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out four.

Lodolo was solid Sunday, as he held Baltimore scoreless through five innings before ultimately allowing a lone run on Coby Mayo's two-out single in the sixth. The win is Lodolo's first since May 31 -- that was also the last time he went at least six innings in a start. While his workload had been limited of late, Lodolo has now allowed just one run across 15 innings in his last three outings. The southpaw has lowered his ERA to 4.68 across 11 starts (57.2 innings) this season with a 1.46 WHIP and 46:24 K:BB. Lodolo is tentatively in line to face the Cubs at home his next time out.

Perez was removed from Sunday's start against the Mets after being struck in the left arm by a 92-mph line drive off the bat of Juan Soto during the fifth inning, Lindsay Crosby of BravesToday.com reports.

The veteran left-hander struggled early Sunday, giving up five runs (four earned) across the first two frames before settling in. He retired the last nine batters he faced, including Soto, as Perez was able to gather the ball and throw to first base for the out before he was lifted from the game. Tyler Kinley escaped the fifth inning without further damage, but Perez still exited in line for the loss. He'll likely headed for X-rays as Atlanta looks to determine whether he sustained any structural damage to his arm.

Cavalli was lifted midway through the third inning of his start Sunday against the Pirates due to an apparent injury, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports. He allowed four runs (three earned) on six hits and two walks while striking out three over 2.1 innings prior to departing.

Fresh off striking out a career-high 13 batters while yielding just one hit over seven innings in his previous start Tuesday in Boston, Cavalli was unable to keep the momentum going. He needed 63 pitches to record his seven outs, and seemed to be pitching through an injury during the start. His velocity was down from its usual levels throughout the afternoon, and he was visited on the mound by the Nationals' athletic trainer at one point during the second inning before leaving the game one frame later. Expect manager Blake Butera to shed light on Cavalli's condition when he address the media following Sunday's game.

May (ankle) is scheduled to start Monday's game against the Brewers in St. Louis, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

The right-hander departed his start Thursday against Atlanta after taking a comebacker off his ankle during a 34-pitch first inning, but he'll re-enter the rotation Monday on just three days' rest. May has surrendered 11 runs in his past two starts, but he submitted a 1.30 ERA, 0.58 WHIP and 33:4 K:BB across 27.2 frames in his four starts prior to that.

The Brewers placed Woodruff on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to right shoulder inflammation, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Manager Pat Murphy said after Woodruff departed Saturday's start against the Diamondbacks that the right-hander is dealing with an inflamed labrum, so his move to the IL isn't a surprise. The 33-year-old dealt with a similar injury earlier this season that led to a "dead arm" feeling and sidelined him for six weeks, per Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, with the return of a cyst being a possible cause for why Woodruff is experiencing that sensation once again. It's unclear how long Woodruff is expected to be out this time around, but he's likely to be shelved for well beyond the 15-day minimum. Woodruff has been effective this season with a 2.98 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 47:10 K:BB across 45.1 innings, but the shoulder problems continue to limit his availability.

Fried (elbow) threw a successful 36-pitch live batting practice session Sunday and will face hitters again Thursday or Friday before embarking on a rehab assignment, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.

The veteran left-hander continues to progress in his rehab from a bone bruise in his left elbow, and he's closing in on being cleared for game action. Fried landed on the shelf in mid-May and will likely require at least a couple starts in the minors before potentially rejoining the New York starting rotation in late July.

Sandoval (biceps) allowed one hit and one walk while striking out seven over five scoreless innings in a rehab start for Double-A Portland on Saturday.

Sandoval pushed his pitch count up to 68 (43 strikes) in what was his sixth and final start in the minors since he resumed a rehab assignment June 5. The veteran southpaw was generally sharp during the assignment, posting a 1.96 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 18:6 K:BB across 18.1 innings. With his 30-day rehab window coming to a close, Sandoval is expected to return from the 60-day injured list to slot into the Red Sox rotation Thursday against the White Sox in Chicago or Friday against the Mets in New York. He'll be making his first appearance in the majors since June 2024, after he underwent internal brace surgery later that summer and experienced other injury complications in the ensuing two years.

Fedde is expected to pitch in bulk relief behind opening pitcher Chris Murphy in Sunday's game against the Guardians, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

On Saturday, the Guardians lineup featured left-handed hitters or switch hitters in the top seven spots, so the White Sox will have the left-handed Murphy open the series finale with the aim of forcing Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt to adjust his batting order. Murphy will likely work the first inning or two before handing the ball over to the right-handed Fedde, who owns a 4.33 ERA and 1.58 WHIP over his eight appearances out of the bullpen this season.
