Estevez (4-2) allowed two runs on two hits over one inning Sunday, earning the win against the Mets but also being charged with a blown save.

Estevez blew a 2-0 lead in the ninth inning but earned his fourth win of the season after Nick Loftin's walk-off single. Estevez had converted eight straight save chances before the weekend series against the Mets, where he was charged with a blown save in each of his two appearances. Despite that, he owns an impressive 2.36 ERA and a 35:15 K:BB across 42 innings while securing 25 saves in 30 chances.

Civale didn't factor into the decision Sunday against the Guardians, allowing four runs on three hits and two walks over 5.2 innings while recording three strikeouts.

Civale cruised through the first five innings while allowing just one hit, but he came undone in the sixth, giving up a three-run homer to Kyle Manzardo as part of a four-run frame that ended his outing. The 30-year-old has struggled to limit damage since joining the White Sox, surrendering four or more earned runs in three of his six starts with the team. Over that span, he's posted a 5.58 ERA with 15 walks and an 0-4 record, continuing a frustrating trend of inconsistency.

Cameron did not factor in the decision during Sunday's win over the Mets. He allowed seven hits and two walks over 6.2 shutout frames while striking out eight.

Cameron worked around a few jams with the help of two double plays and matched his career high of eight punchouts. He generated 16 whiffs after producing 17 in his last outing; Cameron totaled just 19 swinging strikes over his previous three starts. He coughed up six runs against the Yankees on June 10 and five runs against the Dodgers on June 27, but he's given up two or fewer runs in each of his 10 outings aside from those two hiccups. Cameron owns a terrific 2.31 ERA with a 58:22 K:BB over 70 innings.

Matthews (shoulder) struck out nine and and allowed no hits and one walk over four shutout innings Sunday in his rehab start for Triple-A St. Paul.

Pitching in a game setting for the first time since June 4, Matthews was about as sharp as the Twins could have hoped. The right-hander showed no signs of being limited by the moderate subscapularis strain that has kept him on the shelf for more than a month, as he needed just 56 pitches to record his 12 outs while flashing a fastball that topped out at around 97 to 98 miles per hour. Though Matthews isn't yet fully stretched out for a typical starter's workload, the Twins could nonetheless be willing to bring him back from the injured list for the first turn through the rotation coming out of the All-Star break. Matthews went 1-1 with a 5.21 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 25:8 K:BB in 19 innings over his first four starts of the season for Minnesota before landing on the shelf.

Berrios (5-4) allowed four runs on five hits and two walks over three innings Sunday, striking out one and taking a loss against the Athletics.

Berrios was done in by a pair of two-run shots from Austin Wynns and Tyler Soderstrom in the second and third innings, respectively. Berrios had gone 3-0 with a 2.52 ERA over his previous four outings since his last loss June 15. It was his shortest start of the 2025 campaign, and he generated only three whiffs, his second fewest in any outing this year. Berrios will enter the All-Star break with a 3.75 ERA and a 97:41 K:BB across 115.1 innings this season. He's allowed fewer than two runs in six of his last nine starts but gave up a combined 16 runs in the other three.

Ober (hip) has been able to throw multiple bullpen sessions since landing on the injured list July 2, MLB.com reports.

Ober was never shut down from throwing following his placement on the IL, and he quickly advanced to throwing off a mound once the anti-inflammatory medicine he received took full effect. Though he'll be eligible to return from the IL coming out of the All-Star break, it's not clear if Ober will be ready to go for the first turn through the Minnesota rotation. The Twins may want Ober to first face hitters and/or complete a minor-league rehab start prior to activating him.

Miller tossed a scoreless inning to earn a save against Toronto on Sunday. He allowed one hit and struck out one batter.

Miller tossed 13 of 18 pitches for strikes and forced Vladimir Guerrero to ground into a double play to close out the 6-3 win. Miller has converted five straight saves while delivering eight consecutive scoreless frames since his last blown chance June 19. His season ERA fell to 4.04 with a 57:17 K:BB over 35.2 innings. Miller has converted 19 of his 22 save opportunities, including eight of his last nine.

Kurtz went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer, a double and two runs scored in Sunday's win against Toronto.

Kurtz doubled and scored a run in the third inning before ripping a two-run shot in the fifth. After hitting one home run in his first 23 MLB contests, the rookie slugger has gone deep 16 times over his last 35 games. Kurtz hit five homers during the Athletics' nine-game homestand to close out the first half. He owns a .257/.333/.558 through 234 plate appearances.

Young (0-4) conceded seven runs on nine hits and no walks over 4.1 innings to take the loss Sunday against Miami. He struck out four.

The Baltimore rookie took a pounding from the Marlins lineup, as he yielded four long balls -- three of them to Kyle Stowers -- in this 76-pitch outing. Young now sports an ugly 7.52 ERA to go with a 1.25 WHIP and 25:11 K:BB across 26.1 total frames while coughing up seven homers. The 26-year-old has been solid at Triple-A Norfolk this season, pitching to a 2.63 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 27:4 K:BB in 27.1 innings. It remains to be seen whether Young will stick in the Orioles' rotation post-All-Star break, but given the team has fallen out of playoff contention, Young could remain in the majors to audition for a starting role in 2026.

Springs (8-6) yielded three runs on three hits over 6.2 innings Sunday, striking out five and earning a win over Toronto.

Springs retired the first 14 batters he faced before Davis Schneider belted a solo shot in the fifth inning. Addison Barger later knocked Springs out of the contest with a two-run homer in the seventh. Springs has given up at least one home run in 16 of his 20 outings this season and has allowed 19 total. He's produced a 2.94 ERA across 49 frames since the start of June, lowering his season ERA to 3.93. Springs has tossed 110 innings this year and should soon surpass his career high of 135.1 innings set in 2022.
