Webb allowed a run on five hits and four walks with two strikeouts in six innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Friday.

The four walks were a season high for Webb, but he was able to navigate the danger fairly well. He threw 63 of 103 pitches for strikes, though his control was not as sharp as usual. The right-hander still picked up his eighth straight quality start while lowering his ERA to 2.77 with a 1.12 WHIP and 103:32 K:BB across 123.2 innings in 20 starts. He's projected for a road start in Arizona next week.

Anderson allowed an unearned run on four hits and two walks with six strikeouts in six innings in a no-decision versus the Giants on Friday.

Anderson has limited opponents to one run or less in three of his last four starts, though he's only gone 2-0 in that strong span. The southpaw continues to enjoy a stellar season with a 2.79 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 87:19 K:BB across 103.1 innings in 18 outings (16 starts). He'll carry a 10-1 record into his next start, tentatively set to be a favorable home matchup versus the Nationals next week.

Corbin (4-13) took the loss Friday versus the Diamondbacks. He allowed five runs on eight hits and a walk with seven strikeouts in five innings.

Corbin has allowed at least four runs in each of his last three starts after briefly appearing to have turned a corner in late June and early July. The southpaw continues to put up solid strikeout totals -- he's posted 35 punchouts in his last 31 innings -- but that's about the only bright spot in his performance. He owns a 6.02 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 98:36 K:BB across 104.2 innings in 20 starts this year. Corbin's projected for a difficult road start versus the Dodgers next week.

Ashcraft allowed four earned runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out eight across 4.2 innings Friday against the Cardinals. He did not factor into the decision.

Ashcraft was given five runs of support but he squandered the chance to earn a win by surrendering a two-run home run to Paul Goldschmidt in the fifth inning. On the positive side, he did manage to match his season high in strikeouts while generating 16 called strikes and 13 swinging strikes across 112 total pitches. Ashcraft owns a 4.70 ERA and a 40:15 K:BB across 59.1 innings on the season.

Gallen (5-2) allowed two hits and struck out seven without walking a batter in seven innings Friday, earning the win over the Nationals.

Gallen opened the second half of the campaign with his most dominant performance of the season. Considering he issued multiple walks in each of his prior five starts, his control was a standout part of this win. The stellar outing improved his ERA to 3.31 with a 1.02 WHIP and 96:28 K:BB across 100.2 innings in 18 starts this year. The 26-year-old right-hander is projected for a home start versus the Giants next week.

May (elbow) threw 49 pitches and topped out at 99 mph in a rehab start for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. The right-hander allowed one run on three hits and three walks while striking out three batters over two innings.

May was scheduled to go three innings in his first outing with the Triple-A squad, but an elevated pitch count led to his removal after two frames. The fireballer averaged 97.1 mph on his sinker, per Ardaya, but he struggled with his control, throwing only 24 of 49 pitches for strikes. May will likely need at least a few more rehab outings, but he could make his season debut for the Dodgers in early or mid-August.

Wells (7-6) allowed five earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out four across five innings to take the loss Friday against the Yankees.

Four of the five runs that Wells surrendered came from a pair of home runs by Aaron Judge. While the long ball sunk his outing, it marked only the second time this season that Wells has been taken deep multiple times in a start. Overall, Wells has maintained a 3.69 ERA and 63:23 K:BB across 90.1 innings for the campaign.

Gausman (7-7) allowed three runs on seven hits over five innings Friday, striking out 10 and earning a win over the Red Sox.

Gausman fired three shutout frames before coughing up two home runs in the fourth, including a two-run shot by Jackie Bradley. It was the first time all year he'd allowed more than one home run in an outing and he's now served up five through 18 starts. Since an ugly, 2.1-inning start against Baltimore on June 16, Gausman has posted a 2.42 ERA and a 36:7 K:BB through five outings. The 31-year-old will carry a 3.00 ERA into his projected home start against Detroit next week.

Eovaldi (4-3) allowed nine runs on eight hits and two walks over 2.2 innings Friday, striking out three and taking the loss against Toronto.

It was a nightmare outing for Eovaldi, who gave up three runs in the first two innings before falling apart even further in the third. He did give up just one homer, a two-run shot by Matt Chapman in the second. His season ERA jumped nearly a full run as a result of Friday's outing, from 3.34 to 4.30 through 14 starts. Eovaldi has given up 12 runs through seven innings in two starts since returning from the injured list. He's lined up to face Cleveland at home next week.

Taillon allowed two earned runs on four hits and three walks while striking out two across 2.2 innings Friday against Baltimore. He did not factor into the decision.

Taillon walked more than two batters for the first time in any start this season. It was also his shortest outing of the campaign, and he's now failed to complete at least six innings in eight of his last nine starts. In that same span, he has a 6.09 ERA with a 40:10 K:BB across 41.2 frames.
