Detmers allowed five runs on six hits and four walks while striking out four over six innings in a no-decision versus the Athletics on Sunday.

The Athletics appear to be Detmers' bogey team this year -- he's allowed 13 runs over 11.2 innings against them over two starts. Entering Sunday, he had given up just one run over 20 innings in June. The southpaw is now at a 3.93 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 104:28 K:BB through 94 innings over 16 starts. Detmers has also notably struggled in day games, posting a 5.03 ERA across 34 innings in those contests compared to a 3.30 ERA in 60 innings in night games. His fantasy managers should brace themselves, as his next start is projected to be a home rematch versus the Athletics.

Lorenzen (2-9) allowed four runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out five over 5.1 innings to take the loss versus the Pirates on Sunday.

Lorenzen pitched well against the Cubs over his last two starts, allowing a total of two runs over 10 innings, but he couldn't do the same against a different NL Central foe. He's now allowed at least four runs in eight of his 17 appearances (16 starts) this season, including two of four in June. For the season, the right-hander has a 7.11 ERA, 1.83 WHIP and 65:26 K:BB through 17 innings. Lorenzen's next start is projected to come on the road in Minnesota.

Cabrera allowed three hits and a hit batsman while striking out three and walking none over five-plus scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Twins on Sunday.

Cabrera threw 42 of 62 pitches for strikes in his major-league debut. He has averaged just over five innings a start in the minors this season (61 innings over 12 outings), so he may need some time to stretch out if he's going to be part of Arizona's rotation for a while. The opportunity is there if he pitches well, as Ryne Nelson (elbow) and Michael Soroka (glute) are both on the injured list. Cabrera pitched well enough to get at least one more look, tentatively scheduled to be on the road versus the Rays.

Paredes allowed two runs on six hits and three walks while striking out one over five innings in a no-decision versus the Diamondbacks on Sunday.

Paredes put forth another serviceable effort, though the three walks matched his season high. This was the first time he's completed five innings this season, and he threw 47 of 75 pitches for strikes. Paredes is at a 4.05 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 11:9 K:BB through 20 innings over five appearances in his first stint in the majors. He is tentatively projected to make his next start at home versus the Rockies, and he's pretty close to being fully stretched out as a starter.

Giolito (2-3) took the loss Sunday against Texas, allowing four runs on seven hits and two walks in four innings. He struck out two.

Working behind opener Wandy Peralta on Sunday, Giolito turned in one of his worst outings of the season. The 31-year-old right-hander matched a season worst in both hits and runs allowed, and he's now walked multiple batters in all but one of his first seven appearances on the year. Giolito, who has a 5.16 ERA, 1.85 WHIP and an alarming 18:23 K:BB over 29.2 innings, may not hold much fantasy appeal against a vaunted Dodgers lineup his next time out.

Eovaldi (7-7) earned the win Sunday against San Diego, allowing three runs on seven hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out nine.

After being scratched from his scheduled start Saturday due to left knee soreness, Eovaldi looked no worse for wear Sunday while logging his eighth quality start of the year and keeping the ball in the park as well. The 36-year-old right-hander recorded a season high in punchouts, also generating an impressive 16 whiffs on the afternoon. Eovaldi still has a lackluster 4.24 ERA, but his 1.18 WHIP and 92:22 K:BB over 93.1 frames are much more encouraging figures.

Webb (4-5) took the loss Sunday against the Marlins, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk while striking out five over eight innings.

Webb turned in another workhorse performance, finishing an eight-inning complete game despite being tagged with the loss. The right-hander surrendered a solo homer to Kyle Stowers in the second inning that put San Francisco in an early hole, but he otherwise kept Miami's offense in check. However, the Giants couldn't generate much offense against a Marlins bullpen game, leaving Webb with little margin for error. He has now worked at least seven innings in every start this month and has completed eight frames in each of his last three outings. Webb owns a 3.35 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 70:20 K:BB across 83.1 innings on the season. He'll look to keep rolling in his next scheduled start at home against Atlanta.

Cecconi (3-6) took the loss Sunday against Houston, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out one.

Cecconi wasn't dominant Sunday, fanning a season-low one, but he was effective enough to hold the Astros to just a pair of runs. The 26-year-old right-hander is putting together a strong month of June, giving up two runs or fewer while working at least five frames in each of his past four starts. Cecconi will take a middling 4.48 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 66:27 K:BB over 84.1 frames into his next scheduled outing at home versus the Mariners.

Elder (5-5) took the loss Sunday against the Brewers, allowing eight runs on 12 hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out six.

All of the runs against Elder came in the second inning Sunday -- five of them came with two outs, when the Brewers strung together four hits, capped by a William Contreras three-run homer. Elder has now dropped back-to-back starts, allowing 14 runs across 10 innings in that span. His ERA now sits at 3.71 with a 1.21 WHIP and 79:29 K:BB across 16 starts (94.2 innings) this season. Elder will look to get back on track his next time out, tentatively scheduled to come next weekend on the road against the Giants.

Gasser (1-3) earned the win Sunday over Atlanta, allowing two runs on four hits and a walk across six innings. He struck out seven.

Gasser was sharp Sunday en route to his first win and quality start this season. After struggling to a 6.38 ERA across 18.1 innings in his first four outings this year, Gasser has allowed just two runs over 12.2 innings in his last two starts. However, the left-hander's role in the short term is uncertain with Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) slated to return to the Milwaukee rotation Monday against Cincinnati.
