Williams earned the save in Sunday's 4-2 win over Atlanta, allowing a run on one hit while striking out one in the ninth inning.

Williams would give up a 456-foot blast to Ronald Acuna to lead off the ninth before settling in and retiring the next three batters in order. While Williams has given up a run in back-to-back outings, he's converted 10 straight save chances since reclaiming the ninth-inning job in the Bronx. Overall, Williams is up to 14 saves while posting a 4.82 ERA with a 1.13 WHIP and 49:15 K:BB across 37.1 innings this season.

Cano threw a clean seventh inning to notch a hold in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Rays. He struck out one.

Cano tallied his 13th hold of the campaign, and he bounced back after surrendering three runs his last time out versus Miami. Although the 31-year-old right-hander has a shaky 4.54 ERA and 1.40 WHIP over 33.2 innings, he does have a respectable 37:11 K:BB while working mostly as a setup man for closer Felix Bautista this season.

Ryan (10-4) took home the win in Sunday's victory over Colorado, allowing one run on five hits while striking out 11 over seven innings.

Ryan continues to build on what's shaping up to be the best season of his career, tossing seven innings for the fifth time this year. The right-hander missed bats consistently, tying his season high with 11 strikeouts, and limited damage, with his lone blemish coming via a solo homer to Mickey Moniak in the third inning. Ryan has been lights-out over his last five outings, sporting a 1.45 ERA with a sharp 36:3 K:BB across 31 innings. Now sitting at a 2.63 ERA and 0.90 WHIP on the season, the 29-year-old will look to keep rolling in his next start, scheduled for Saturday against the Nationals.

Stroman (2-1) earned the win Sunday over Atlanta, allowing one run on five hits and no walks over six innings. He struck out four.

Stroman delivered his first quality start of the season Sunday -- he'd blank Atlanta for five innings before eventually giving up a lone run on a Matt Olson homer in the sixth. The 34-year-old Stroman's pitched well since rejoining the Yankees in late June, posting a 3.00 ERA over four starts (15 innings) after struggling to an 11.57 ERA in his first three starts (9.1 innings) in April. Stroman is currently scheduled to face the Phillies at home his next time out.

Bautista earned the save in Sunday's 5-3 win over Tampa Bay, allowing a run on one hit and three walks in the ninth inning. He struck out two.

Bautista appeared to be rusty in his first appearance since the All-Star break. While he managed to strike out Junior Caminero to leave the bases loaded, Bautista needed 34 pitches, just 18 of which were strikes, to get through the ninth inning. The right-hander was dominant heading into the break, allowing just one run while striking out 27 in his previous 16 innings. Overall, Bautista is 19-for-20 in save chances this year while posting a 2.60 ERA with a 1.13 WHIP and 50:23 K:BB over 34.2 innings.

Pepiot (6-8) took the loss Sunday against the Orioles, allowing five runs on six hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out eight.

Pepiot was plagued by the home-run ball Sunday -- he'd give up three solo shots, matching a season high, en route to a second straight loss. The 27-year-old Pepiot had posted a 2.79 ERA in 10 starts (58 innings) prior to the All-Star break. Overall, his ERA sits at 3.59 with a 1.16 WHIP and an impressive 118:38 K:BB through 21 starts (120.1 innings) this season. Pepiot is currently slated to face the Reds on the road in his next outing.

Rogers (3-1) earned the win Sunday against the Rays, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out three.

It's the third straight quality start for Rogers, who's been instrumental in stabilizing an injury-riddled Baltimore rotation since he was recalled in late May. The southpaw's posted a pristine 1.74 ERA with a 0.87 WHIP and 35:12 K:BB through seven starts (41.1 innings) this season. Rogers will look to keep rolling in his next outing, currently scheduled for next week at home against the Rockies.

Fry went 2-for-5 with a double and four RBI in Sunday's 8-2 win over the Athletics.

Fry delivered a career-best four RBI, doing all of his damage against Jeffrey Springs. The 29-year-old drove in a run with a first-inning single before breaking the game open with a bases-clearing double in the fourth. Fry now has six RBI over his last two games, surpassing the total (five) he posted across his first 31 appearances this season. Even with this recent surge, Fry is still batting a lackluster 13-for-76 (.171) with a .587 OPS this season.

Rodriguez turned in a perfect ninth inning to earn the save in Sunday's 8-6 win over San Francisco.

With Jeff Hoffman having pitched in the Jays' previous two games, it was Rodriguez who got the call in the ninth Sunday. The right-hander made quick work of the Giants, retiring the side on just seven pitches, to extend his scoreless streak to 7.2 innings while picking up his second save of the year. The 28-year-old Rodriguez has impressed in a setup role this season, working to a 2.37 ERA with a 0.91 WHIP and 48:16 K:BB across 49.1 innings.

Schlittler (arm) said he felt good after Saturday's bullpen session and is scheduled to start Tuesday against the Blue Jays, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

The right-hander was originally scheduled to start Friday's second-half opener against Atlanta, but he was pushed back due to arm soreness. Schlittler didn't have any issues during the bullpen session, clearing the way for him to rejoin the starting rotation during the upcoming week. The 24-year-old gave up three earned runs with a 7:2 K:BB over 5.1 frames in his major-league debut July 9 versus Seattle.
