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

Neither of Gore or Ian Seymour was able to provide much length as starters. The Rays' four-run second inning did much of the damage on Gore's line. He's now allowed 13 runs over his last 23.2 innings across five starts, falling short of the five-inning mark twice in that span. For the season, Gore has a 4.51 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 170:63 K:BB across 157.2 innings through 30 starts. He is projected to make his next start at Arizona.

The Astros transferred Burrows (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Sunday.

Burrows' move to the 60-day IL opens a 40-man roster spot for Jorge Barrosa, who was claimed off waivers from the Diamondbacks. While this transaction itself does not take Burrows out through the remainder of the regular season, he recently experienced a setback with his shoulder while rehabbing an elbow injury at Triple-A, and it's unclear at this point if he will make it back in 2026.

Singer (6-13) earned the win against the Brewers on Sunday, allowing six runs on four hits and six walks with three strikeouts over five innings.

Singer benefited from an offensive explosion by the Reds, as he set season highs in walks and earned runs allowed. While the 30-year-old has generally worked deep into games, he's now yielded three earned runs or more in nine straight starts and owns a 5.53 ERA in the second half. He'll carry a 5.03 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 120:51 K:BB across 146.2 innings this season into a road rematch with the Brewers next weekend.

Jobe didn't factor into the decision Sunday against the Guardians, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out seven.

It was a strong bounce-back effort from Jobe, after he gave up five runs (four earned) in a loss to Minnesota his last time out. The right-hander held Cleveland to a pair of runs Sunday while setting a season high with seven strikeouts. Overall, Jobe is 1-2 with a 4.45 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 26:12 K:BB across six starts (28.1 innings) this season. He's currently lined up to face the Rockies at home in his next outing.

Williams allowed two runs on four hits and three walks over six innings in a no-decision Sunday against the Tigers. He struck out 11.

Williams has now logged double-digit strikeouts in eight of his last 11 outings. After he was tagged for five runs in just 1.1 innings on Aug. 25 against the Angels, Williams has given up just three runs (two earned) on six hits across 13 innings in his subsequent two starts. His ERA now sits at 3.78 through 29 starts (169 innings) this year with a 1.09 WHIP and an MLB-leading 228 strikeouts. Williams is currently lined up to face the Twins on the road his next time out.

Scott didn't factor into the decision Sunday against the Giants, allowing two runs on four hits and no walks across 4.2 innings. He struck out seven.

It appears that the Mets will limit Scott's workload down the stretch -- he threw just 80 pitches Sunday before he was pulled with two outs in the fifth inning. Scott is up to 99.1 innings pitched this season, one year removed from Tommy John surgery. Overall, the right-hander is 4-4 with a 3.81 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 120:44 K:BB across 21 starts. Scott's currently in line to face the Yankees on the road his next time out.

Rangers manager Skip Schumaker said Sunday that Eovaldi could pitch in a multiple-inning relief role once he returns from the 15-day injured list before "hopefully" building up enough length to make spot starts if necessary or if time permits, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports. "It's just really challenging to think we're getting six innings out of him [immediately when he returns]," Schumaker said of Eovaldi.

Eovaldi has been on the shelf since Aug. 7 because of right elbow inflammation but has demonstrated signs of progress over the past week. He threw approximately 40 pitches in the bullpen over two sets Saturday and is poised to take another step forward early this week, when he throws off a mound against live hitters. If all goes well during the live session, Eovaldi could then come back from the IL and slot into the bullpen, though it's possible the Rangers send him out on a brief rehab assignment beforehand. Regardless, Eovaldi looks like he'll need some time to get fully stretched back out, and though the veteran right-hander could prove to be a useful piece for the Rangers out of the bullpen, that sort of role won't lend itself to much fantasy value while Jacob Latz is secure as the team's closer.

Brewers manager Pat Murphy said after Sunday's 12-8 loss to the Reds that Harrison could be shifted to a relief role or make shorter planned starts, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. The left-hander took a no-decision in the loss, giving up six runs (four earned) on nine hits and four walks while striking out four over 3.2 innings.

For a second straight start, Harrison was limited to exactly 3.2 innings, and he hasn't pitched beyond five frames in his past eight outings. In just his last five starts alone, he's surrendered 24 runs, including 10 home runs. Whether it's making shorter starts or working out of the bullpen, either role would likely result in reduced fantasy relevance for Harrison, whose upside has already been limited due to his recent struggles.

Urena (9-10) took the loss Sunday against the Pirates, allowing a run on three hits and a walk across eight innings. He struck out four.

Henry Davis' solo home run in the third inning accounted for all of the damage against Urena on Sunday, as the right-hander turned in another excellent outing. However, the Angels failed to provide any run support in an eventual 1-0 defeat. Urena has now allowed just two runs on eight hits across 15 innings in his last two starts, lowering his ERA to 2.74 with a 1.21 WHIP and 124:65 K:BB across 131.1 innings this season. He's currently in line to face the Nationals on the road his next time out.

Skenes (10-11) earned the win Sunday over the Angels, allowing four hits and a walk over 5.1 scoreless innings. He struck out two.

While Skenes wasn't exactly dominant Sunday, he managed to hold the Angels scoreless in a strong bounce-back performance after he gave up five runs in 4.2 innings against the Giants his last time out. It's Skenes' first win since July 19 -- he'd gone 0-3 with a 5.77 ERA across 34.1 innings in his previous seven outings. Overall, the 24-year-old Skenes sports a 3.83 ERA with a 1.15 WHIP and 181:45 K:BB across 29 starts (155 innings) this season. He's currently in line for a road matchup with the Cubs his next time out.
