Cannon (2-5) allowed four runs (three earned) on four hits and struck out three without walking a batter over five innings, taking the loss Sunday versus the Cubs.

Cannon was pitching well until the sixth inning, when he allowed three straight batters (two hits, one error) to get on base. He allowed the go-ahead RBI double to Pete Crow-Armstrong, and Steven Wilson allowed two inherited runners to score to spoil what had been a promising outing for Cannon. This was his fourth outing in a row in which he didn't walk any batters, and it was the first time he's fallen short of covering six innings since April 16 versus the Athletics. Cannon is now at a 3.76 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 42:17 K:BB over 55 innings through 10 appearances (eight starts). He's projected to make his next start at home versus the Rangers.

Estevez picked up the save in Sunday's 2-1 victory over St. Louis, allowing a hit in a scoreless inning with one strikeout.

The Kansas City closer worked around a Brendan Donovan double and efficiently secured the win on 12 pitches, eight of which were strikes. Estevez has been a reliable reliever over his last 10 appearances, conceding just one run while pitching to an 8:1 K:BB across 9.2 innings. The 32-year-old has gone a perfect 8-for-8 on save opportunities during that span as he maintains his firm grip on the closer job over Lucas Erceg.

Paredes went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Rangers.

Paredes gave the Astros a 4-3 lead they didn't relinquish with a three-run blast in the eighth inning. The 26-year-old has been hot over his past 10 games, hitting safely in eight while collecting six extra-base hits, nine RBI and seven runs scored. On the season, he's slashing .259/.372/.434 with seven homers, 24 RBI and 22 runs scored across 196 plate appearances.

Wacha did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 2-1 win against St. Louis, allowing one run on eight hits and no walks over five innings. He struck out six.

The 33-year-old looked sharp once again in this 83-pitch performance against one of his former clubs. Over his last eight outings, Wacha has conceded three or fewer runs in each while firing a 2.49 ERA and 1.17 WHIP across 47 innings. The only damage on the veteran right-hander's day happened on a 430-foot solo shot by Alec Burleson in the fourth. Wacha currently lines up to make his next start at Minnesota next weekend.

Hader earned the save in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Rangers, striking out two in a perfect ninth inning.

Hader faced the bottom of the Rangers' lineup and retired them in order to remain a perfect 11-for-11 in save chances this season. The southpaw has allowed runs in just two of his past 10 appearances, both coming in non-save situations. On the year, he owns a 1.80 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 29:5 K:BB across 20 innings.

Baz (3-3) took the loss Sunday at Miami, allowing five runs on nine hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out two.

Despite generating a solid 13 whiffs out of 96 total pitches, Baz fanned just two batters. This outing continues a tough stretch for the Tampa Bay right-hander, as he's conceded 21 runs on 30 hits across his last 19.2 innings (9.61 ERA). Through 49 total innings, Baz sports an unsightly 5.33 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 48:19 K:BB. He'll look to right the ship in his next start, which currently lines up to be against the Blue Jays at home next weekend.

Martin was removed from Sunday's game against the Astros due to right shoulder discomfort, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

The right-hander departed after throwing just one pitch Sunday, which is the same thing that happened when elbow tightness forced him from Tuesday's game versus Colorado. It could be encouraging that Martin didn't aggravate the same injury, but the fact a 38-year-old is dealing with different arm issues in such a short window is worrying in its own right.

Manager Joe Espada announced after Sunday's win over the Rangers that Wesneski (elbow) will undergo Tommy John surgery this week, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

The right-hander was dealing with some swelling after landing on the injured list May 9 due to elbow discomfort, and he's now headed for Tommy John surgery after being diagnosed with UCL damage. Wesneski will miss the rest of the year and will also be sidelined for at least the first half of the 2026 campaign since the procedure carries a typical recovery timeline of 14-to-18 months.

O'Hoppe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

O'Hoppe started the first two games of the series but will sit for the finale in Los Angeles after going 2-for-5 with a home run and five RBI in Saturday's high-scoring victory. Travis d'Arnaud will step in behind the plate to catch for lefty Yusei Kikuchi on Sunday.

Andujar is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Andujar has been operating as the Athletics' primary third baseman over the past couple weeks, but he will sit Sunday after going 2-for-8 with a strikeout in the first two games of the series versus San Francisco. Max Schuemann is instead manning the hot corner and batting eighth.
