Singer (3-3) took the loss against the Athletics on Sunday, allowing five runs on seven hits while striking out five and walking one over 8.1 innings.

Singer pitched an efficient game, throwing 66 of 99 pitches for strikes across 8.1 frames, yet he was unable to pick up the win. He allowed five earned runs in the contest, which turned out to be too much for the Royals' offense to overcome. The righty has allowed three or more runs in four of five June appearances. Singer will take a 4.50 ERA into his next appearance.

Kaprielian did not factor into the decision against the Royals on Sunday, allowing three runs on two hits while striking out two and walking four in 5.1 innings.

Kaprielian threw 48 of 84 pitches for strikes across 5.1 frames Sunday. Despite allowing two hits, he allowed three runners to cross the plate thanks to four free passes given to Royals batters. The righty has yet to make it through six innings in any of his 11 games this season. Kaprielian has also been unable to keep opponents from scoring, allowing at least one run in every game, including six games with three or more earned runs. He will take a 5.88 ERA into his next appearance.

DeSclafani (0-2) gave up seven earned runs on seven hits and a walk over 2.2 innings in a 10-3 loss to the Reds on Sunday. He struck out one and was tagged with the loss.

DeSclafani had another miserable start since coming off the IL due to ankle inflammation, this time being chased after only 53 pitches in what should have been a relatively soft matchup. The veteran right-hander has now given up 12 earned runs in his past two starts to balloon his ERA up to 9.95 over 19 innings. DeSclafani will look to get back on track and recapture some of his success from 2021 in his next expected start Sunday against the White Sox.

Mahle (3-6) gave up three earned runs on four hits and a walk while striking out seven over 6.2 innings to earn the win in a 10-3 victory over the Giants on Sunday.

Mahle took advantage of 10 runs of offensive support to notch his third win of the season on the back of 6.2 effective innings. The 27-year-old right-hander now has five quality starts in his last six appearances, with the one weak performance during that stretch coming against the Dodgers. Mahle has shown the ability to generate swinging strikes on his 94 mph fastball over the course of his career, and he is averaging 10 strikeouts per nine innings this season. He will try to pick up win number four next week against Atlanta.

Bielak was optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land on Sunday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Bielak was recalled by the Astros in early June and was effective while serving as a multi-inning option. He posted a 1.29 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in seven innings over three relief appearances but will head back to the minors since the team will call up Enoli Paredes.

Strider pitched six shutout innings Sunday versus the Dodgers, allowing five hits while striking out seven and walking none in a no-decision.

Strider was tagged for six runs by the Giants in his last start, but he bounced back with an excellent performance against one of the National League's top teams. The rookie right-hander submitted his longest start of the year, throwing 64 of 95 pitches for strikes while keeping runs off the board for the second time in six starts since he joined the rotation. He owns a 3.02 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 79:22 K:BB through 53.2 innings overall. Strider is expected to make his next start on the road in Cincinnati next weekend.

Gonsolin allowed a run on five hits and two walks with five strikeouts in 5.2 innings in a no-decision versus Atlanta on Sunday.

Gonsolin was in line for a hard-luck loss until the Dodgers' offense woke up in the ninth inning. While he fell short of a quality start for the second outing in a row, he's still yet to give up more than two earned runs in any appearance this season. The right-hander has a 1.58 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 69:23 K:BB across 74 innings in 14 starts. He remains undefeated at 9-0 this year, and he'll look to push his win total into double digits in a home start versus the Padres next week.

Velasquez has made his last three appearances out of the White Sox bullpen, striking out five and picking up a win across six innings while allowing two runs (one earned) on four hits and a walk.

After coming off the 15-day injured list June 15, Velasquez made a 2.2-inning start against the Tigers that same day, but he was moved to the bullpen just a few days later when Michael Kopech was cleared to rejoin the rotation following a brief absence due to a knee injury. Velasquez should be the next man up to enter the rotation when the White Sox next require an additional starter, but he'll serve in a multi-inning relief role until then.

Keuchel allowed four runs on six hits and three walks and struck out seven over 4.1 innings versus the Tigers on Sunday. He did not factor in the decision.

Keuchel showed some promise with the season-high total in strikeouts, but it was still an inefficient performance. He threw 98 pitches (55 strikes) to get 13 outs in his first outing with the Diamondbacks. For the season, he has a 2-5 record, a 7.93 ERA, 2.15 WHIP and 27:23 K:BB through 36.1 innings, which includes his first eight starts this year with the White Sox. If Keuchel remains in the majors, he's projected for a tough road start in Colorado next weekend.

Darvish allowed three runs on seven hits and a walk with nine strikeouts in six innings versus the Phillies on Sunday. He did not factor in the decision.

Darvish allowed multiple runs for the first time in four starts, with the Phillies picking up two in the second inning and one more in the fifth. Despite the downturn from his recent dominance, this was still a fourth straight quality start for the right-hander. He owns a 3.26 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 75:18 K:BB across 88.1 innings in 14 starts overall. Darvish is projected for a tough road start versus the Dodgers next weekend.
