Pressly (knee) pitched one scoreless inning, allowing one walk in Sunday's 3-1 extra-inning loss to the Phillies. He did not factor into the decision.

Pressly made his first appearance out of the bullpen in a week Sunday, tossing a scoreless top of the ninth to keep the score knotted up at 1-1 ahead of the bottom of the frame. The right-hander has been dealing with right knee irritation and hadn't pitched since having his knee drained Tuesday. After a slow start to his first campaign in Chicago, the right-hander has now compiled nine consecutive scoreless appearances, posting a 1.00 WHIP with four strikeouts while picking up two wins and three saves over nine innings in April.

Taillon did not factor in the decision during Sunday's extra-inning loss against Philadelphia. He allowed a run on five hits over seven innings while striking out two.

The lone blemish on Taillon's outing was an RBI single by Trea Turner in the third inning. It was the first time Taillon threw more than six innings this season while he registered his third quality start. He tossed 60 of 88 pitches for strikes and turned in his first start without a walk since his season debut March 28. Taillon is sporting a 4.01 ERA with a 26:7 K:BB through 33.2 frames. He's in line to start in Milwaukee next weekend.

Turner went 3-for-5 with two RBI in Sunday's extra-inning victory against the Cubs.

Turner put the Phillies on the board with an RBI single in the third inning. He later added an insurance run with another RBI single in the 10th. After posting back-to-back multi-hit games against the Marlins on April 19 and 20, Turner was stuck in a short 3-for-21 (.143) rut over the following five games before breaking out Sunday. The three-hit showing bumped his slash line up to .262/.345/.330 with 10 RBI through 116 plate appearances.

Romano struck out one batter in a scoreless inning and earned a save during Sunday's extra-inning win against the Cubs.

Romano threw 10 of 13 pitches for strikes to quickly retire the Cubs' 4-5-6 hitters and secure the 3-1 victory. He converted his first since April 4 and now has two in four chances. Romano has allowed at least one run in five of his 12 outings this season, resulting in a 12.19 ERA through 10.1 frames. Jose Alvarado earned a win after working a scoreless ninth inning and remains the primary closer for Philly.

Nola did not factor in the decision during Sunday's extra-inning win over the Cubs. He allowed a run on three hits and a walk over seven innings while striking out six.

Nola coughed up a run in the second inning but otherwise had no trouble in the quality start. He commanded the zone by throwing 73 of 99 pitches for strikes and generated 16 swinging strikes, with six coming via the cutter. Nola snapped a five-start losing skid and delivered his first quality start since April 5. He'll carry a 5.40 ERA into his next start, which is lined up to be at home next weekend against the Diamondbacks.

Fedde (1-3) took the loss against the Brewers on Sunday, allowing seven runs on 10 hits and two walks with four strikeouts over 5.2 innings.

Fedde surrendered three runs in the first inning and then four more in the fourth. He was able to manage only eight whiffs on 103 pitches while yielding 11 hard-hit balls. The 32-year-old has been inconsistent in 2025, with four quality starts but also 13 total earned runs allowed in his other two outings. He'll carry a 4.68 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 17:16 K:BB across 32.2 innings into a home matchup with the Mets next weekend.

Pfaadt (5-1) allowed three runs (two earned) on nine hits and a walk over six-plus innings Sunday, striking out six and earning a win against Atlanta.

Pfaadt delivered four shutout frames before Atlanta finally broke through with a run in the fifth inning. They put two more runs on Pfaadt's line in the seventh, including one after he was removed from the game. He tossed 65 of 100 pitches for strikes and forced 13 whiffs, including nine with the sweeper. Pfaadt has won five consecutive starts and dropped his season ERA to 2.78 to go along with a 29:6 K:BB.

Quintana (4-0) earned the win against the Cardinals on Sunday, allowing one run on five hits and three walks with six strikeouts over five innings.

Quintana cruised through four frames before allowing a run in the fifth and departing with a 7-1 lead. He generated only eight swinging strikes on 98 pitches but managed to minimize hard contact. The veteran southpaw has now yielded just three total earned runs across four consecutive victories to open the campaign. He owns a 1.14 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 15:8 K:BB across 23.2 innings and lines up for a home matchup with the Cubs next weekend.

Martinez allowed a run on one hit and two walks in one inning during Sunday's win over Atlanta. He earned a save and did not record a strikeout.

Martinez entered a 6-3 game and was not very effective. On top of the two walks, he also hit a batter. A double play before Marcell Ozuna's RBI double helped limit the damage to just one run. Martinez entered the game with a clean 0.00 ERA through nine innings. He didn't walk a batter in his first seven appearances but has now issued four free passes over his last 3.1 innings. Martinez was recently dealing with some shoulder fatigue but is the current favorite for saves with A.J. Puk (elbow) on the IL, though Shelby Miller may also be in the mix.

Yelich went 2-for-4 with a walk, two RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Cardinals.

Yelich contributed early and often Sunday, scoring a run in the first inning, swiping a bag in the third and driving in two runs in the fourth. The 33-year-old has been on fire over his past 10 games, tallying five multi-hit efforts with three extra-base hits, 12 RBI, six runs scored and three steals. On the season, he's slashing .238/.345/.416 with five homers, 23 RBI, 14 runs scored and six steals across 119 plate appearances.
