Bundy allowed five runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five in four innings in a 7-6 loss Tuesday in Milwaukee. He did not factor in the decision.

Four of the five runs against Bundy came in the second inning when Hunter Renfroe launched a three-run homer and Christian Yelich drove in a run with a double. In the next inning, Luis Urias tacked on a solo shot. Bundy has been quite inconsistent this season and has seven starts of at least five innings while allowing one run or fewer but also seven starts in which he's allowed at least four earned runs. Tuesday's outing pushed his ERA up to 5.02 through 84.1 innings.

Small allowed three runs on four hits and four walks while striking out three in 3.2 innings in a 7-6 victory Tuesday against Minnesota. He didn't factor into the decision.

Small was recalled from Triple-A Nashville to start Tuesday's game and struggled in his return to the majors. Byron Buxton welcomed him back by launching a solo shot to lead off the game and the Twins added two more runs in the third. Only 33 of his 63 pitches went for strikes and he has now walked eight batters in 6.1 innings across his two big-league starts. With two off days over the next week, the Brewers might not need Small to make another start any time soon, and he could return to Nashville shortly.

Clevinger struck out five in seven innings while allowing two runs on six hits and a walk in a 6-4 extra-inning victory Tuesday in Detroit. He did not factor into the decision.

Clevinger cruised through the first six innings, holding the Tigers scoreless and scattering three hits and a walk. Miguel Cabrera led off the seventh with a double and Jeimer Candelario followed with a two-run homer. Clevinger needed just 92 pitches to complete the seven frames. It was the fourth time in his last five outings where he pitched at least six innings. For the season, he now has a solid 3.38 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 53:16 K:BB in 53.1 innings across 11 appearances. His next start will likely be early next week against Colorado.

Walker (8-2) earned the victory Tuesday against the Yankees, striking out three in six innings while allowing three runs on seven hits, a walk and a hit batsman.

Walker was greeted by back-to-back homers by Aaron Judge and Anthony Rizzo in the first inning. After that, Walker pitched around trouble with the only damage being a fourth-inning RBI groundout. It was the eighth straight quality start for the 29-year-old and he's gone 5-0 with a 2.12 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 51:11 K:BB in 51 innings in that span. His next start will likely be early next week in Washington.

Montgomery (3-3) took the loss Tuesday against the Mets, allowing five runs (four earned) on five hits and a walk while striking out three in 2.1 innings.

The Mets got off to a fast start against Montgomery, scoring four times in the first inning, including homers by Starling Marte and Eduardo Escobar. With two runners on base and Escobar up again, Montgomery was removed with one out in the third, having thrown 71 pitches. In his last seven starts, the lefty has a 4.97 ERA and 1.34 WHIP and has allowed eight homers in 38 innings.

Berrios pitched 5.2 innings, surrendering three runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out seven in Tuesday's win over the Cardinals. He did not factor into the decision.

Berrios surrendered a solo home run to Dylan Carlson in the first inning before giving up two more runs in top of the third frame. The right-hander was later removed with two outs in the sixth inning after he allowed a second baserunner to reach. After surrendering 14 runs over 6.2 frames in his last two starts of June, Berrios has produced a 3.41 ERA with 36 strikeouts over 29 innings in five starts in July. The strong month has his season numbers down to a 5.20 ERA and 1.37 WHIP with 100 punchouts over 107.1 frames in 20 outings.

McClanahan tossed seven innings, giving up two runs on two hits and one walk while striking out seven in the loss to the Orioles on Tuesday. He did not factor into the decision.

McClanahan was able to limit the Orioles to just three baserunners in Tuesday's outing, but both of the hits he surrendered were solo home runs. Cedric Mullins launched a leadoff homer in the bottom of the first and Anthony Santander took the lefty deep for another solo shot in the fourth frame. The two long balls matched the total that McClanahan had allowed over his five prior starts combined. On the bright side, the 25-year-old extended his quality start streak to a remarkable 13 consecutive outings, and he now owns a 1.76 ERA and 0.77 WHIP with 154 punchouts over 117.2 frames through 19 starts this year.

Watkins pitched 5.1 innings, surrendering three runs on 10 hits while striking out four in the win over the Rays. He did not factor into the decision.

Watkins wasn't his sharpest Tuesday, allowing a season-high 10 hits. Overall, he was able to limit the damage to just three runs, most notably giving up a solo home run to Isaac Paredes in the top of the fourth. The long ball was his first surrendered over six starts dating back to May 22. Since the beginning of July, Watkins has produced a 2.35 ERA with 17 strikeouts over 23 innings in four outings. He now owns a 4.03 ERA and 1.41 WHIP with 35 punchouts over 58 frames in 13 starts this season.

Cavalli (finger) will start for Triple-A Rochester on Wednesday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Cavalli exited his last start for Rochester on July 12 with a blister-like issue on his finger, but he'll return to the mound Wednesday for the Red Wings. The 23-year-old, who is Washington's top pitching prospect, has a 4.31 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 74:27 K:BB across 71 innings this year.

Dunning (ankle) was activated from the 15-day injured list and will start Tuesday's game in Seattle.

Dunning was sidelined the past couple weeks with a right ankle impingement, but he will rejoin the Rangers' rotation Tuesday. The 27-year-old covered five innings during his rehab start in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League last week, so he shouldn't face significant workload limitations in his first game back in the majors.
