Clase picked up the save in Sunday's 3-0 win against the Athletics, allowing two hits and one walk in a scoreless inning. He struck out one.

The Cleveland closer was shaky in this 31-pitch appearance to collect a save for the second consecutive day. Clase loaded the bases on two singles and a walk before securing the win by inducing a Lawrence Butler groundout to wrap the contest. After pitching to an uncharacteristic 6.75 ERA through April 30, Clase has been back to his old self since then with a 1.33 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 21:7 K:BB across 20.1 frames while going 13-for-14 in save chances.

Bassitt didn't factor into the decision Sunday against the White Sox, allowing one run on three hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out seven.

While Toronto's bullpen collapsed late, costing Bassitt the win, the right-hander still delivered a third quality start in his last four outings -- he's posted a 3.12 ERA in that span (26 innings). Overall, Bassitt is 7-3 with a 3.61 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 90:21 K:BB across 16 starts (92.1 innings) this season. He's currently lined up to face the Red Sox on the road his next time out.

Leiter took the loss against the Pirates on Sunday, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks with two strikeouts over four innings.

Leiter opened with three scoreless frames before allowing three runs in the fourth and exiting after walking the leadoff hitter in the fifth. During his current stretch of three straight losses, the 25-year-old has gone just four innings twice while allowing 13 earned runs and posting a 9:8 K:BB. He'll carry a 4.55 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 51:32 K:BB across 65.1 innings into a home matchup with the Mariners next weekend.

Duran was ejected from Sunday's game against the Giants in the top of the eighth inning, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Duran ripped a line drive to right field to open the top of the eighth, ultimately being thrown out at second base while trying to stretch a single into a double. The outfielder argued with the umpire after the play and was tossed thereafter. Duran finished his day 1-for-4 at the plate, and he'll look to reset ahead of Monday's series opener against the Angels.

Littell did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 9-3 loss to the Tigers, allowing one run on four hits and no walks with five strikeouts over five innings.

Littell allowed a run in the second inning but was otherwise excellent, throwing 53 of 69 pitches for strikes and generating 15 whiffs. While it was a bit disappointing to see him lifted early, the 29-year-old has now given up three earned runs or fewer in 12 of his last 13 outings, recording nine quality starts in that span. He'll carry a 3.78 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 66:11 K:BB across 97.2 innings into a road matchup with the Orioles next weekend.

Meadows went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 9-3 win over the Rays

Meadows was bumped down in the batting order against righties recently due to some struggles at the plate, but he responded with a big home run Sunday, just his second of the season. While the 25-year-old is still batting only .172 with a .607 OPS, the Tigers seem committed to him in center field, largely due to his defensive abilities. Meadows remains inconsistent from a fantasy perspective, though he still has plenty of potential, as he's yet to reach 140 total games at the MLB level in his short career.

Chisholm went 2-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Orioles.

Chisholm delivered what proved to be the game-winning double in the eighth inning and came around to score an insurance run later in the frame. The 27-year-old has been productive in June, notching his seventh multi-hit effort in 17 games while tallying seven extra-base hits, 11 RBI and nine runs scored. For the season, he's slashing .242/.345/.467 with 10 home runs, 28 RBI, 26 runs scored and 10 steals across 194 plate appearances.

Perez went 2-for-4 with a home run, two total runs scored and three RBI in Sunday's 9-3 win over the Rays.

Perez kept swinging a hot bat as the Tigers took the series finale on the road against Tampa Bay. The outfielder is up to six home runs already in just 22 games, as he missed his team's first 55 contests due to back inflammation. By comparison, Perez had only nine long balls across 112 regular-season games last year. His power might subside at some point, but the 25-year-old is worth plugging into lineups while he's slugging like this.

Kremer did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Yankees, allowing one run on five hits and one walk with seven strikeouts over 5.2 innings.

Kremer yielded a run in the second inning but was otherwise sharp, throwing 57 of 85 pitches for strikes and generating 11 whiffs while falling one out shy of his first quality start since May 31. The 29-year-old has had an up-and-down season, holding opponents to two earned runs or fewer in eight outings but allowing at least four earned runs in the other six. He'll carry a 4.60 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 72:24 K:BB across 90 innings into a home matchup with the Rays next weekend.

Greene went 3-for-4 with two doubles and two runs scored in Sunday's 9-3 win over the Rays.

Greene was the catalyst for Detroit out of the cleanup spot as he wrapped up a strong series against Tampa Bay on the road. Across the three games, the outfielder went 6-for-10 with four extra-base hits, four RBI and five runs scored. Greene is now batting .291 with an .875 OPS for the season, and he remains a strong fantasy asset with plenty of upside.
