Vargas went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run scored in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Rangers.

Vargas put the White Sox on the board with a solo homer in the fourth inning and then doubled and scored in the sixth. The 25-year-old has been swinging a hot bat lately, tallying five multi-hit efforts over his last 10 games while racking up nine extra-base hits, eight RBI and six runs scored. On the season, he's slashing .239/.316/.418 with seven home runs, 23 RBI, 23 runs scored and one steal across 206 plate appearances.

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.

Burger went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 5-4 win over the White Sox.

Burger opened the scoring with a two-run blast in the second inning and then doubled and scored in the ninth.

On the year, he's slashing .223/.259/.426 with seven long balls, 21 RBI, 18 runs scored and one stolen base across 158 plate appearances.

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.

Leasure (0-4) took the loss against the Rangers on Sunday, allowing three runs (two earned) on two hits while striking out two in the ninth inning.

Leasure was called upon to protect a 3-2 lead in the ninth inning but immediately ran into trouble, hitting the leadoff batter and giving up a double. A fielding error allowed the tying run to score before Adolis Garcia delivered a crushing two-run double. The 26-year-old Leasure is now just 1-for-5 in save chances and owns a 4.26 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 26:9 K:BB across 19 innings this season.

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.

Garcia earned the save in Sunday's 5-4 win over the White Sox, allowing one run on two hits while striking out one in the ninth inning.

Garcia was called upon to protect a 5-3 lead in the ninth and secured the save despite allowing a run. Luke Jackson, the team's saves leader, pitched the sixth inning after blowing a save Wednesday. Garcia owns a solid 2.45 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 19:8 K:BB across 22 innings, but it's unclear how many save opportunities he'll get moving forward, as the Rangers' closer role appears in flux for now.

O'Hearn went 3-for-3 with a solo home run, a double, a stolen base and an additional run scored in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Red Sox.

O'Hearn extended Baltimore's lead to 3-0 with a solo shot off Greg Weissert in the sixth inning, his eighth homer of the year and his first in 18 games. Despite the power drought, O'Hearn has certainly been swinging the bat well -- he's now 12-for-21 (.571) in his last five contests. The 31-year-old O'Hearn is slashing an impressive .329/.419/.537 through 172 plate appearances this season with 18 RBI, 21 runs scored and a pair of stolen bases.

Estevez (2-0) earned the win against the Twins on Sunday, striking out two while recording four outs across the eighth and ninth innings.

On the season, the 32-year-old has converted 14 of 16 save chances and owns a 1.96 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 21:10 K:BB across 23 innings.
