Early (5-5) took the loss Sunday, allowing six runs on 11 hits and two walks over 4.2 innings against the Rangers. He struck out three.

After allowing a leadoff long ball to Wyatt Langford, Early struggled to settle in, surrendering a three-run homer to Kyle Higashioka in the second inning and a two-run double to Brandon Nimmo in the fourth frame. He's allowed five home runs over the last three starts and 14 overall across 75.2 innings. It marked a season-worst outing for the southpaw in both hits and runs allowed, as his previous highs were six hits and five runs. Owning a 3.81 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 72:29 K:BB across 75.2 innings (14 starts), Early will look to get back on track next time out, tentatively scheduled for Saturday against the Mariners.

Eovaldi (6-7) earned the win Sunday, allowing three runs on six hits and a walk over seven innings against Boston. He struck out six.

Aside from surrendering a pair of homers to Willson Contreras, Eovaldi was effective and gave Texas great length en route to picking up his sixth win. The veteran has consistently worked deep into games this season, completing at least seven innings in seven of his 14 starts. The right-hander owns a 4.23 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 83:21 K:BB across 87.1 innings and will look to stay in the win column his next time out, tentatively scheduled for Saturday against San Diego.

Walton went 1-for-3 with a solo home run before being pinch hit for in the eighth inning of Sunday's loss to Tampa Bay.

Walton drew the start at designated hitter and came through with his first homer of the season in a lefty-lefty matchup against Ian Seymour in the fifth inning. The infielder has received sporadic playing time, but he has generally been productive when called upon in a small sample size. Walton is hitting .296 with a .759 OPS, five extra-base hits, four RBI and nine runs scored across 58 plate appearances in 2026.

Mullins went 2-for-3 with a run scored, two steals, a walk and a hit-by-pitch in Sunday's 8-3 win over the Angels.

Mullins reached base four times and was active on the basepaths, recording his first stolen base since May 16 and logging his first multi-steal effort since April 4. The veteran outfielder has looked much improved at the plate in June, slashing .281/.425/.563 with three homers, five RBI and six runs scored through 11 appearances. Overall, Mullins has produced a pedestrian .201/.290/.319 slash line with six homers, 21 RBI, 24 runs scored and 12 stolen bases across 61 games.

Caminero went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Sunday's win over the Angels.

Caminero's lone hit was a significant one, as he launched a two-run homer to left field to give the Rays the lead in the eighth inning. So far in June, the third baseman is hitting .239/.340/.435 with two homers, three doubles, four RBI and eight runs scored in 12 appearances. Overall, the 22-year-old is slashing .271/.370/.488 with 15 homers, 11 doubles, 32 RBI and 42 runs scored across 68 games this season.

Mesa went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Sunday's 8-3 win over the Angels.

Mesa extended the Rays' lead to 8-3 with a 107.1 mph, two-run shot as part of a five-run eighth inning. Sunday marked the outfielder's first multi-hit effort of the season and his first homer since his season debut May 25. With most of his action coming against right-handed pitching, the 24-year-old is slashing .200/.319/.350 with two homers, five RBI and six runs scored across 48 plate appearances.

Seymour allowed two runs on two hits and three walks while striking out three over 3.1 innings of bulk relief in Sunday's 8-3 win over the Angels.

Entering after 1.2 innings from Casey Legumina, Seymour totaled 72 pitches (41 strikes) and allowed both of his runs in the fifth inning, his final frame, including a solo homer by Donovan Walton. Sunday marked Seymour's second extended outing after he started and covered four innings Monday, having previously logged no more than two innings in any appearance this season. Overall, the southpaw owns a 4.93 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 41:19 K:BB across 38.1 innings (28 appearances), and if he remains in the rotation, his next outing is lined up for Saturday against the Nationals.

Kelly (4-2) earned the win Sunday against the Angels, allowing one hit and no walks in two scoreless innings of work. He struck out three.

While the 28-year-old right-hander last saw a save opportunity during his May 12 outing versus Toronto, he's remained a key cog in Tampa Bay's bullpen despite losing the closer job to Bryan Baker. Kelly boasts a 2.27 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 25:6 K:BB across 31.2 innings this year, also racking up 14 holds.

Hancock (5-3) took the loss Sunday against the Nationals, allowing six runs on nine hits and no walks in four innings. He struck out four.

Four of the hits allowed went for extra bases in what was Hancock's season-worst outing virtually across the board. The 27-year-old right-hander gave up a season-high six runs and nine hits, also fanning a season-low two in his shortest start of the year. Hancock will try to flush Sunday's outing in his next scheduled appearance at home against Boston, and he still holds a strong 3.28 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 75:17 K:BB over 79.2 frames.

Rogers (3-7) took the loss Sunday against the Padres, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out four.

Although he's still struggling for strikeouts, Rogers is certainly finding a rhythm on the mound of late. The 28-year-old southpaw has recorded fewer than five punchouts in eight consecutive starts, but he does have a 3.12 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 10:4 K:BB over 17.1 innings covering three outings in June thus far. Rogers will try to further improve on his 5.86 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 48:22 K:BB over 66 frames going forward, but he'll have his work cut out for him with a road outing against the Dodgers on tap for his next appearance.
