Hendricks did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing four runs on 10 hits over 5.2 innings against the Yankees. He struck out five.

Hendricks set season highs in runs allowed (four) and hits (10) in Sunday's start and was pulled from the contest after allowing back-to-back homers to Anthony Volpe and Kyle Higashioka in the fifth frame -- the third and fourth long balls that Hendricks has given up this season. Despite the tough outing, Hendricks owns a strong 3.04 ERA through nine starts (53.1 innings) to go along with a 32:10 K:BB.

German did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing two runs (one earned) on one hit and three walks over six innings in a 7-4 loss to the Cubs. He struck out nine.

German turned in a quality start Sunday, allowing just one hit while pitching into the sixth inning for the second time in his last five appearances. German enters the All-Star break on a high note, owning a 1.40 ERA and a 23:3 K:BB across his last three outings (19.1 innings). However, fantasy managers should proceed with caution with the 30-year-old, as he carried a 5.10 ERA and a 69:25 K:BB on the year prior to his three recent starts.

Musgrove (8-2) yielded three hits over six scoreless frames Sunday, striking out seven and earning a win over the Mets.

While he allowed only three singles, Musgrove also plunked four batters. Still, his final line was dominant, and he's gone 7-0 over his last nine starts. During that stretch, he's posted an impressive 54:8 K:BB through 55.1 frames. Musgrove dropped his season ERA to 3.29 with a 79:17 K:BB through 14 starts.

Sears did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing one run (zero earned) on one hit and three walks over five innings against Boston. He struck out four.

After hurling 7.1 scoreless innings against the Tigers last time out, Sears posted another five innings without an earned run Sunday. Sears enters the All-Star break on a high note, having gone seven or more innings in three of his last five appearances, a stretch in which he has surrendered 19 hits and owns a 3.26 ERA over 30.1 innings. Though the lefty has been one of Oakland's top arms this season, he's struggled with keeping the ball inside the park, giving up 1.7 HR/9 on the year.

Dunning (8-2) took the loss Sunday, allowing four runs on seven hits and two walks over 5.2 innings against the Nationals. He struck out four.

Though Dunning has had an impressive first half of 2023, he struggled against one of baseball's bottomfeeders, tying his season high in runs allowed and failing to finish six innings for the first time since June 17. However, all of the damage against Dunning came late, as a Dominic Smith solo homer in the fifth put the Nationals on the board. Through 20 appearances (12 starts), Dunning boasts an impressive 2.84 ERA but hasn't missed many bats, logging 59 Ks through 92 innings.

Corbin (6-10) earned the win Sunday, allowing one run on five hits and one walk over seven innings against the Rangers. He struck out six.

After taking the loss in five of his last six starts, Corbin picked up a win against one of baseball's top offenses Sunday. He got off to an incredible start, retiring each of the first 10 batters he faced to end up with one run against him across seven frames. The left-hander has had a rollercoaster stretch of starts, allowing six or more runs in two of his past four starts but has given up just one run between his other two appearances. Overall, Corbin owns a 4.89 ERA through 19 starts, a solid improvement from his ugly 6.31 ERA in 2022. Corbin's tentatively scheduled to make his next start during a three-game series with St. Louis right after the All-Star break.

Skubal tossed four scoreless innings and did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Blue Jays. He allowed two hits and two walks while striking out five.

Skubal has now made two appearances this season after missing the first three months while rehabbing from flexor tendon surgery, and he's logged four scoreless innings each time. The Tigers are being understandably cautious with his workload, as he tossed 57 pitches in his debut and just 63 on Sunday. With the All-Star break on tap, Skubal will have more time to rest and could be poised to work deeper into the contest his next time out. He's penciled in to start Detroit's second game after the break Saturday.

Hendricks allowed four runs on 10 hits across 5.2 innings and did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Yankees. He had no walks and struck out five.

Hendricks displayed his typical good control but allowed a season-high 10 hits in an uneven performance. He had allowed a total of 10 hits across 13 innings in his last two starts, so Sunday's outing may just be a blip on the radar. Hendricks has been solid overall with a 3.04 ERA and 1.03 WHIP across 53.1 innings this year. The veteran is penciled in to start Chicago's first game after the All-Star break on Friday.

Webb (8-7) allowed seven hits over nine shutout frames Sunday, striking out 10 and earning a win over the Rockies.

Webb was outstanding Sunday, scattering seven hits (five singles) during his first career complete game. He ended the terrific outing with a bang by striking out the side in the ninth inning. Webb recorded just 30 strikeouts in 38.1 innings during June, but he's posted a 21:2 K:BB over his last two starts. Over his last 15 starts he's registered a 2.73 ERA. The 26-year-old enters the All-Star break with a 3.14 ERA and a 127:23 K:BB through 126 frames on the year.

Giolito allowed two runs on two hits and three walks while striking out five over seven innings in a no-decision versus the Cardinals on Sunday.

Giolito was able to limit the damage to a two-run home run by Willson Contreras in the fourth inning. Since the start of June, Giolito has posted five quality starts across seven outings but managed just two wins in that span. The right-hander finished the first half with a 3.45 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 117:34 K:BB through 112.1 innings through 19 starts. He'll likely face Atlanta on the road coming out of the All-Star break.
