Bassitt (4-3) took the loss Sunday against the Rays, allowing five runs on nine hits and two walks across four innings. He struck out two.

Bassitt got off to a rocky start, surrendering a two-run homer to Brandon Lowe in the first inning. He managed to hold the Rays off the board in his next three frames, though he departed in the fifth after allowing back-to-back hits to lead off the frame, and both runners came around to score. The 36-year-old Bassitt had allowed just one run over 11.2 innings in his previous two outings. His ERA now sits at 3.38 with a 1.32 WHIP and 63:13 K:BB across 11 starts (61.1 innings) this year. Bassitt will look to rebound in his next start, currently scheduled for next week at home against the A's.

Pepiot (3-5) earned the win Sunday over the Blue Jays, allowing three hits and a walk across seven scoreless innings. He struck out five.

Pepiot was excellent Sunday, holding Toronto to just three singles in his first scoreless outing this season. While the win was Pepiot's first since April 26, he's now delivered four consecutive quality starts. The right-hander lowered his ERA to 3.55 with a 1.23 WHIP and 52:19 K:BB across 11 starts (63.1 innings) this year. Pepiot will look to keep the momentum going in his next outing, currently scheduled for next week in Houston.

Corbin did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 5-4 win over the White Sox, allowing three runs on five hits and one walk with six strikeouts over 5.1 innings.

Corbin yielded two solo home runs and was in line for the loss until the Rangers mounted a ninth-inning comeback. The veteran southpaw has quietly delivered a steady campaign, allowing three earned runs or fewer in each of his nine outings this season. He owns a 3.75 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 38:16 K:BB across 48 innings and lines up for a home matchup with the Cardinals next weekend.

Soroka (1-3) took the loss Sunday against the Giants, allowing three runs on five hits and a walk across six innings. He struck out two.

Soroka was able to make it through six innings for the first time this season, though he'd ultimately wind up with his third loss as the Nats couldn't overcome an early deficit. Overall, Soroka sports a 5.61 ERA with a 1.21 WHIP and 25:5 K:BB across five starts (25.2 innings) this year. He's currently in line to face the Diamondbacks on the road in his next outing.

Martin did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 5-4 loss against the Rangers, allowing two runs on four hits and three walks with two strikeouts over six innings.

Martin surrendered a two-run homer in the second inning but was in line for the win until the Rangers mounted a ninth-inning comeback. The 28-year-old has now delivered three straight quality starts and has surrendered three earned runs or fewer in eight of 11 outings this season. He'll carry a 3.45 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 38:16 K:BB across 62.2 innings into a road matchup with the Orioles next weekend.

Ray (7-0) earned the win Sunday over the Nationals, allowing one run on three hits across six innings. He struck out seven.

It was another strong outing from Ray, who's now delivered six straight quality starts. The veteran southpaw has held opponents to three runs or fewer in all but one of his 11 starts this year -- his ERA is down to 2.56 with a 1.15 WHIP and 69:27 K:BB across 63.1 innings. Ray will look to stay unbeaten in his next outing, currently lined up for next week in Miami.

Sasaki (shoulder) is expected to begin a throwing program within the next week, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Sasaki has been on the 15-day injured list since May 13 with a right shoulder impingement, and he was shut down from throwing. The right-hander will likely require a multi-week buildup before potentially returning to the major-league roster. Sasaki will progress from playing catch to throwing a bullpen session before launching a minor-league rehab assignment.

Buehler (4-2) took the loss Sunday against the Orioles, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out three.

Buehler managed to make it through five innings after he was ejected in the third in his last start. The right-hander pitched well, allowing just a pair of runs, but the Red Sox failed to generate much offensively against Dean Kremer in an eventual 5-1 defeat. Buehler's ERA sits at 3.95 with a 1.20 WHIP and 36:13 K:BB across eight starts (41 innings) this season. He's currently in line for a road matchup in Atlanta in his next outing.

The Dodgers optioned Miller to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday.

Miller will likely slot back into the Triple-A rotation after working in relief for the Dodgers on Saturday following his promotion from Oklahoma City. The 26-year-old mopped up the final two innings of Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Mets, striking out no batters and allowing one run on three hits and one walk in his 32-pitch appearance. The Dodgers signed righty Chris Stratton to a one-year deal to replace Miller on the 26-man active roster and in the bullpen.

Kremer (4-5) earned the win Sunday over the Red Sox, allowing seven hits and a walk across 5.1 scoreless innings. He struck out four.

Kremer's now allowed seven or more hits in each of his last three starts, though he was able to work out of trouble to hold Boston scoreless Sunday en route to his first win in four outings. Kremer sports a 5.02 ERA with a 1.39 WHIP and 44:16 K:BB across 11 starts (61 innings) this season. He's currently lined up for a home matchup with the White Sox in his next outing.
