Irvin (2-0) allowed two runs on three hits over 6.1 innings during Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader in Colorado. He struck out nine and earned the win.

Irvin was dominant outside of the solo home runs he coughed up to Zac Veen and Braxton Fulford in the third and sixth innings, respectively. The nine punchouts were Irvin's best total since June 23, 2024. He threw 55 of 83 pitches for strikes and forced 14 whiffs, including nine with the curveball. Irvin has posted a 15:1 K:BB while yielding two runs over 13.1 innings in his last two outings. He's lined up to face the Mets at home next weekend.

Holmes (2-1) earned the win against the Twins on Sunday, allowing one run on four hits and four walks with seven strikeouts over 5.2 innings.

Holmes wasn't particularly efficient, throwing just 58 of 105 pitches for strikes and generating only 10 whiffs. He's issued four walks in three of his four starts this season but has also allowed three earned runs or fewer three times. As a result, the 29-year-old owns a 3.22 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 22:14 K:BB across 22.1 innings. He'll aim for a third straight win in a tough matchup with the Diamondbacks next weekend.

Freeland (0-4) left Sunday's start due to a finger injury after allowing three runs (one earned) on three hits and a walk over two innings. He struck out two and took the loss against Washington in the first game of the doubleheader.

Freeland gave up all three runs during the second inning and did not return for the third due to a finger issue. He threw 25 of 36 pitches for strikes and forced six whiffs. Freeland now owns a 4.85 ERA with a 19:3 K:BB through 26 frames. He was lined up to face the Reds at home next weekend, but the finger issue could push that back.

Gray pitched six innings, giving up three runs on six hits and a walk while striking out six batters in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Mets. He did not factor into the decision.

Gray was bit by the home run bug in the bottom of the first inning, giving up a leadoff solo shot to Francisco Lindor. He then gave up another run in the third frame before the final run on his ledger scored on an RBI single by Pete Alonso in the bottom of the fifth. Gray has now produced back-to-back quality starts, combining to pitch 13 innings of three-run ball. On the season, the right-hander has compiled a 3.41 ERA and 0.86 WHIP with 29 strikeouts over 29 innings in five starts. Gray's next projected start is set to come Saturday at home against Milwaukee.

Soto went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, three RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Cardinals.

Soto notched a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the third, a single in the fifth and a walk in the seventh inning before adding a two-RBI double in the eighth. The outfielder has notched back-to-back multi-hit performances after going nine straight games without one. Soto is now batting .256 with three home runs, 12 RBI, 16 runs scored and two stolen bases over 22 contests this season.

Miller (2-0) yielded one unearned run on one hit over two innings and picked up a win during Sunday's extra-innings contest against the Cubs. He struck out two batters and was charged with a blown save.

Miller tossed a perfect ninth inning to push the game to extras but allowed the ghost runner to score on a Nico Hoerner single in the 10th. Arizona took the lead back in the 11th inning, paving the way for Miller to earn his second win. He's now tossed 10 innings without allowing an earned run this season but has not recorded a save.

Lindor went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and three runs scored in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Cardinals.

Lindor led off the game for the Mets with a solo home run off Sonny Gray in the bottom of the first inning. He added two singles and scored a pair of runs later in the contest. Lindor is now batting .271 with three home runs, nine RBI, 14 runs scored and two stolen bases over 21 games in 2025.

Norby went 3-for-5 with a double, two runs scored and a stolen base in Sunday's 7-5 extra-inning win over the Phillies.

Norby stole his first bag of the season in the first inning and later tallied his first extra-base hit with a double in the sixth. Since making his season debut Thursday, the 24-year-old has gone 5-for-16 with four runs scored and a stolen base. While the Marlins' lineup figures to rank near the bottom of the league, Norby batted third Sunday and is coming off a 2024 campaign in which he tallied nine homers and three steals across 194 plate appearances.

Jameson earned a save with a scoreless inning during Sunday's extra-innings win over the Cubs.

Jameson was promoted from Triple-A Reno on Saturday and secured a save in his season debut with the Diamondbacks. It was his first MLB appearance since July 6, 2023 after missing the entire 2024 campaign while recovering from Tommy John surgery. Jameson likely won't see many save opportunities out of Arizona's bullpen, but with A.J. Puk (elbow) and Kevin Ginkel (shoulder) both currently on the shelf, the right-hander could work his way into a high-leverage role.

Gillispie did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 7-5 extra-inning win over the Phillies, allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk with three strikeouts over five innings.

Gillispie surrendered three runs in the first inning but managed to settle in despite generating just six whiffs on 91 pitches. While the results haven't been ideal, the 27-year-old has completed at least five innings in four of his five starts this season. He'll take a 6.75 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 21:8 K:BB across 24 innings into a road matchup with the Mariners next weekend.
