Singer (4-4) shut out the Rockies over 5.2 innings Sunday, allowing just five hits and no walks while striking out seven to get the win.

Singer did not allow an extra base hit nor did he allow a single runner to get into scoring position. The 26-year-old did not walk a batter for the first time since April 25 and his seven strikeouts were his most in a start since April 14. Singer has allowed two earned runs or less in four of his last five starts and now sits at a 6.45 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 56:23 K:BB over 60 innings. He'll look to pick up another win in a tentative matchup against the Orioles next weekend.

Freeland (4-7) was handed another loss Sunday against the Royals, allowing two runs on four hits while striking out one over seven innings.

Freeland had a perfect game going until MJ Melendez broke it up with a double in the fifth. Michael Massey drove Melendez home two batters later with a base hit to give the Royals a lead they would never relinquish. Freeland continued to move through the order but was eventually pulled after squandering a leadoff home run in the eighth to Maikel Garcia. The 30-year-old tied his season high by going seven innings and showed great control, although he didn't generate a whole lot of whiffs. It was certainly a tough-luck loss for Freeland, who picked up his last win May. 14. He now sits at a 4.06 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 44:17 K:BB over 71 innings and lines up for a home matchup with the Padres next weekend.

German allowed one run on four hits and a walk over 6.2 innings Sunday. He struck out six and did not factor in the decision.

German rolled through six shutout frames before coughing up a solo homer to J.D. Martinez in the seventh inning. Over his last six starts, German has allowed two or fewer runs in five of them, lowering his season ERA to 3.69 through 61 innings. He's allowed a homer in two straight starts after not giving one up in four consecutive outings. The 30-year-old is currently projected to face the Red Sox at home in his next start.

Maeda (triceps) gave up two earned runs over three innings with four strikeouts and no walks during a rehab start Sunday for Triple-A St. Paul.

It was his second rehab outing with the Saints, and he went one inning longer than his first start, tossing 45 pitches (29 strikes) this time out. Maeda will likely need at least a couple more rehab starts before he's ready to be considered for Minnesota's rotation. The 35-year-old right-hander posted a 9.00 ERA across his first four starts (16 innings) this season before going on the injured list due to a right triceps strain, but 10 of the 16 runs he allowed came in the game during which he got hurt, April 26 against the Yankees.

Stroman (6-4) allowed an unearned run on four hits across six innings to earn the win Sunday against the Padres. He walked three and struck out six.

After a rough start against Minnesota on May 14, Stroman has been locked in over his last four outings, allowing just three earned runs across 29 innings. That's allowed the righty to lower his season ERA to a sparkling 2.39. Stroman had an ERA of 3.50 or lower each of the last three years, so while he might not be able to keep up this pace, he should remain a strong fantasy contributor the rest of the way. Stroman is tentatively set to start again Friday against the Giants on the road.

Miller allowed one hit and two walks over six shutout frames in Sunday's loss to the Yankees. He struck out seven and did not factor in the decision.

Miller issued a pair of walks in the first inning but didn't allow a hit until the fifth. He forced double-digit whiffs for the first time at the MLB level, collecting 14 on Sunday, including 11 via the slider. Through three career MLB starts, he's registered a 16:4 K:BB and a 1.06 ERA in 17 frames. Miller's next start is currently lined up to be in Philadelphia.

Gallen allowed three runs (two earned) on nine hits and a walk over six innings in Sunday's loss to Atlanta. He struck out six and did not factor in the decision.

It wasn't Gallen's sharpest outing as he gave up a season-high nine hits, but he escaped with just two earned runs against him. The 27-year-old also coughed up a homer for the first time since April 4. After a brutal outing against the Pirates, he's given up two or fewer earned runs in three straight starts, resulting in a 2.75 ERA across 78.2 frames. Gallen's next start is projected to be in Detroit.

Soroka yielded four runs on seven hits and four walks over 3.2 innings in Sunday's win over the Diamondbacks. He struck out two and did not factor in the decision.

Soroka coughed up three runs in the first followed by two more in the fourth, including a pair of home runs. He's allowed nine runs over 9.2 innings in two starts since rejoining Atlanta for the first time since 2020. Including his Triple-A numbers, the 25-year-old has recorded a 40:17 K:BB through 45 frames. If Soroka gets another turn in the rotation, it'll likely come at home against the Nationals.

DeSclafani (4-5) allowed six runs (five earned) on five hits and three walks while striking out two over three innings Sunday in a loss to Baltimore.

All of the damage came in the third inning. DeSclafani has allowed at least five runs in three of his last six starts, a puzzling stretch of struggles for the veteran right-hander after he started the year well. He's also walked multiple batters in three of his last four starts. He's at a decent 3.97 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 51:12 K:BB through 70.1 innings over 12 outings this season. DeSclafani is projected to make his next start at home versus the Cubs.

Wells (4-2) allowed two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out nine over 5.1 innings to earn the win Sunday over the Giants.

Wells got through five scoreless innings while allowing just four baserunners, but he faded in the sixth. Blake Sabol ended Wells' outing with a two-run home run, but the Orioles' lead was never in danger. The nine strikeouts were a season high for Wells, who picked up his first win in four starts. The right-hander has a 3.29 ERA with an excellent 0.85 WHIP and solid 70:14 K:BB through 12 outings (11 starts) spanning 68.1 innings. Baltimore is using its off day Monday to reset the rotation by skipping the No. 5 spot, so Wells should pitch on normal rest versus the Royals in his next start.
