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.

McGreevy (7-9) earned the win Sunday over the White Sox, allowing one run on three hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out six.

McGreevy turned in another strong start Sunday, as he held the White Sox to a lone second-inning run. The right-hander has now turned in back-to-back quality starts, allowing just three earned runs across 12.2 innings in that span, after giving up 11 runs in 10 innings in his prior two outings. McGreevy's ERA now sits at 3.83 across 29 starts (160 innings) this season with a 1.24 WHIP and 112:45 K:BB. He's currently lined up to face the Nationals at home his next time out.

Peralta (9-11) earned the win against the Astros on Sunday, allowing no hits and three walks with four strikeouts over five scoreless innings.

Peralta was spotted an early lead and held the Astros without a hit despite throwing only 49 of 86 pitches for strikes. The 30-year-old is finding his groove at the right time, winning four straight contests while yielding just two earned runs and posting three quality starts during that stretch. He owns a 3.86 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 33:10 K:BB across 44.1 innings with Tampa Bay and lines up for a home matchup with the Red Sox next weekend.

Wesneski (5-2) took the loss against the Rays on Sunday, allowing seven runs (three earned) on six hits and two walks with two strikeouts over three innings.

Wesneski yielded three runs in the first inning and was burned by a three-run homer following a two-out error in the third. It ends a string of strong outings for the 28-year-old, who allowed just four earned runs over his previous four turns, with two quality starts. He'll take a 3.70 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 38:16 K:BB across 48.2 innings this season into a home matchup with Atlanta next weekend.

Manager Torey Lovullo announced Sunday that Soroka will start Tuesday's game against the Marlins, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports.

The right-hander piggybacked Zac Gallen Wednesday against the Royals as both pitchers returned from the injured list, but it'll be Soroka who works out of the rotation moving forward. The 29-year-old has been a reliable starter for Arizona when available this year with a 3.53 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 95:25 K:BB over 99.1 innings.

Manager Torey Lovullo announced Sunday that Gallen will work out of the bullpen moving forward, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports.

The right-hander returned to the rotation Wednesday after missing two months due to an elbow injury, but he'll be shifted to a relief role after giving up two runs (one earned) on four hits and two walks over 3.1 innings. Michael Soroka piggybacked Gallen in that game and will re-enter the rotation Tuesday against the Marlins. It's been a career-worst campaign for Gallen, who has a 6.22 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 62:33 K:BB across 101.1 innings.

The Athletics optioned Estes to Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday.

The move corresponds with the Athletics recalling southpaw Drew Rom from Triple-A. Estes was rocked for five runs on seven hits (including three home runs) and one walk while striking out one batter over three innings during the Athletics' 19-1 loss to the Mariners on Saturday.

The Orioles placed Bradish on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to lower-abdominal discomfort.

The right-hander surrendered five runs across three innings Saturday in Toronto and has a 6.95 ERA across his past five starts, spoiling what had been a mostly effective second half of the year. Bradish will be sidelined for the rest of the regular season but will be eligible to be reinstated for the start of the playoffs should the Orioles make it -- they're just three games back of the final wild-card spot.

The White Sox recalled Sandlin from Triple-A Charlotte to start Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

The right-hander has a 6.93 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 24:12 K:BB across 24.2 innings for Chicago this season and will step onto a big-league mound Sunday for the first time since early August. It's likely just a spot start for Sandlin given that the rest of the rotation is currently in good health.

Manager Mark Kotsay said after Saturday's game against the Mariners that Jump has a shoulder impingement and will be re-evaluated Sunday, Theo DeRosa of MLB.com reports.

The left-hander felt some tightness while throwing in the bullpen prior to Saturday's start, but he pitched through it and was dealt his 11th loss of the campaign after giving up five runs across two innings. The A's figure to be cautious with Jump down the stretch as his rookie campaign nears the finish line.
