Rogers (10-10) took the loss against the Blue Jays on Sunday, allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out five across six innings.

Rogers limited the Blue Jays to one run through four innings, but the 28-year-old southpaw's outing took a turn for the worse in the fifth, when he gave up consecutive homers to George Springer, Vladimir Guerrero and Kazuma Okamoto. It was the first time Rogers gave up three home runs in a start since Sept. 26, 2025, against the Yankees. He'll take a 4.22 ERA and 1.22 WHIP over 157.2 innings into his next start, tentatively slated for next weekend at home against the Brewers.

Sheehan did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Marlins, allowing two hits and one walk while striking out five over six scoreless innings.

Sheehan dominated the Marlins, generating 14 swinging strikes on 81 pitches and allowing just four hard-hit balls. The 26-year-old has pitched well since rejoining the Dodgers on Monday, allowing just one earned run over 11.2 innings with an impressive 15:2 K:BB. He owns a 4.79 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 132:32 K:BB across 107 frames this season and lines up for a home matchup with the Giants next weekend.

Burns did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Brewers, allowing two runs on two hits and three walks over three innings. He struck out five.

Burns was held to 56 pitches as the Reds continue to limit the young right-hander's workload down the stretch. Both of the runs charged to Burns came on a Joey Ortiz homer in the second inning, the 16th long ball he's given up this season. Overall, Burns' ERA now sits at 2.80 across 28 starts (151.1 innings) this year with a 1.15 WHIP and 181:54 K:BB. He's tentatively in line to face the Cubs at home his next time out.

Perez did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Dodgers, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks with five strikeouts over five innings.

Perez surrendered a three-run homer in the fourth inning but otherwise kept the Dodgers in check, throwing 59 of 96 pitches for strikes with 13 whiffs. While it was an encouraging effort considering he yielded 16 runs over his previous three starts, the 23-year-old has not exceeded five strikeouts in six straight outings. He'll carry a 3.99 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 155:64 K:BB across 144.1 innings into a road matchup with the Padres next weekend.

Ryan (6-10) took the loss Sunday against the Guardians, allowing four runs on seven hits and a walk across four innings. He struck out one.

It was a tough outing for Ryan, who's now dropped five straight starts (bisected by a month-long stint on the IL). Ryan threw 84 pitches Sunday, giving up a pair of solo homers to Steven Kwan and Jo Adell before the Guardians added two more runs in the fourth. Ryan's ERA now sits at 3.84 through 25 starts (133.2 innings) this season with a 1.16 WHIP and 146:29 K:BB. Ryan is tentatively in line to face the Angels at home his next time out.

Bibee (6-15) earned the win Sunday over Minnesota, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over 6.2 innings. He struck out seven.

It was a strong bounce-back effort from Bibee. The right-hander had failed to make it through four innings in either of his previous two starts, giving up 10 runs across 8.1 innings in that span. Overall, Bibbe's ERA sits at 4.16 across 31 starts (177.1 innings) this season with a 1.18 WHIP and 140:54 K:BB. He's currently lined up to face the A's at home in his next outing.

Cease (11-5) earned the win against Baltimore on Sunday, allowing one run on four hits and five walks while striking out nine across five innings.

Cease got off to a shaky start by loading the bases in the first inning with no outs, but the AL Cy Young candidate got himself out of trouble by striking out the next three batters he faced. He proceeded to keep the Orioles off the board until a Pete Alonso RBI single in the fifth, though Cease did not have the opportunity to earn the quality start as he ran his put count up to 94 (60 strikes) while generating 12 whiffs. The five walks were a season high for Cease, but he recorded at least nine strikeouts for the 13th time this season, and his 236 punchouts are tied with Jacob Misiorowski for most in the majors. Cease will take a 2.38 ERA and 1.06 WHIP over 166.1 innings into his next start, tentatively slated for next week on the road against the Rangers in what could be his penultimate outing of the regular season.

Sandlin (2-2) took the loss Sunday against the Cardinals, allowing three unearned runs on two hits and no walks across 5.2 innings. He struck out five.

Sandlin got off to an excellent start Sunday, as he held St. Louis to just one hit through his first five scoreless innings. However, he'd depart after giving up a pair of one-out singles in the sixth before the White Sox bullpen coughed up three unearned runs, following a Colson Montgomery error. Despite the disappointing finish, it was an encouraging outing overall for Sandlin, who gave up six runs in 5.1 innings in his last major-league start Aug. 7. Overall, Sandlin sports a 5.64 ERA with a 1.19 WHIP and 29:12 K:BB across 30.1 innings with Chicago this season.

Manager John Schneider said Sunday that Yesavage (knee) is scheduled to make a rehab appearance Tuesday with Triple-A Buffalo, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

The right-hander threw successful bullpen sessions Thursday and Sunday, clearing the way for his return to game action. If all goes well Tuesday, Yesavage could rejoin Toronto's rotation for the series opener in Baltimore on Sept. 21. He's been on the shelf since early August after undergoing surgery to repair a torn meniscus.

Rodriguez did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Nationals, allowing two runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out four across 5.1 innings.

Rodriguez was able to get out of a bases-loaded situation in the first inning without giving up a run. He kept the Nationals off the board until he was tagged for two runs in the sixth, but it was still a nice bounce-back performance from the 26-year-old right-hander, who had allowed nine runs in his two outings (spanning 10 innings) prior to Sunday. Rodriguez will take a 6.10 ERA and 1.56 WHIP over 87 innings into his net start, tentatively slated for next weekend at home against the Twins.
