Guzman went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Twins.

Guzman had gone 15 games without a homer, hitting .236 with two doubles in that span. The infielder provided the Angels' second run of the game when he went deep off Taj Bradley in the seventh inning. Guzman is now hitting .262 with a .718 OPS, four homers, 14 RBI, 11 runs scored, four doubles and one stolen base over 114 plate appearances this season.

Lowe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Twins.

Lowe has yet to record a multi-hit effort in July, going 5-for-30 (.167) with two homers over his last nine games. He got the Angels on the board first with his second-inning blast Sunday. Lowe is now hitting .208 with a .620 OPS, eight homers, 21 RBI, 17 runs scored, four doubles and three stolen bases over 60 contests this season. He has been getting mostly steady playing time as a fourth outfielder recently.

Soriano (8-6) allowed three runs on five hits and two walks while failing to record a strikeout over five innings as he took the loss versus the Twins on Sunday.

Soriano had logged at least two strikeouts in every outing this season prior to Sunday. He's found a little more success with limiting walks lately -- he's given up no more than two free passes in six of his last seven outings. However, he has just one quality start and has reached the six-inning mark only twice in that span. Soriano is at a 3.49 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 115:53 K:BB through 111 innings over 20 starts this season.

Larnach went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a second RBI and two total runs scored in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Angels.

This was his fourth multi-hit effort over nine games in July, though he's also been held hitless four times this month. Larnach is batting .323 (10-for-31) with five extra-base hits and five RBI in July. For the season, the outfielder is hitting .289 with an .830 OPS, seven homers, 32 RBI, 44 runs scored, two stolen bases, 18 doubles and a triple across 80 contests.

Morris allowed a hit and a walk while striking out two over two scoreless innings to earn the save in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Angels.

Yoendrys Gomez pitched Saturday, but it's unclear if that played a role in Morris staying in for a second inning to get the save. Morris has plenty of experience with longer outings -- he's recorded four or more outs in 13 of his 35 appearances (two starts) this season while working his way into the high-leverage mix. He's at a 3.33 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 48:14 K:BB with three saves, 13 holds and two blown saves over 46 innings. While Morris has worked as a starter in the minors, both of his starts in the majors have been as the opener of bullpen games, so it's unlikely he'll get fully stretched out in 2026.

Wood went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and two walks in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Yankees.

Wood is putting together an incredible power surge, going deep in three consecutive games and in five of his past six outings. Additionally, the All-Star outfielder has launched 12 homers in his last 12 contests. Wood has been a five-category fantasy producer in 2026, slashing .279/.410/.575 with 28 long balls, 64 RBI, 15 stolen bases and a major-league-leading 89 runs scored over 454 plate appearances.

Bradley (9-3) allowed two runs on six hits and two walks while striking out six over seven innings to earn the win Sunday over the Angels.

Bradley didn't reach the strikeout highs of his last two outings, but he was able to earn a third straight win and his fourth victory in his last five starts. He limited the damage Sunday to solo home runs by Josh Lowe and Denzer Guzman. Bradley has allowed just eight runs over his last 31 innings while adding a 38:10 K:BB in that span. For the season, he's pitched to a 3.59 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 118:40 K:BB through 102.2 innings over 18 starts.

Warren took a no-decision Sunday against the Nationals, allowing one run on four hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out two.

The surging James Wood took Warren deep for a solo shot in the first inning, but it was smooth sailing for Warren on Sunday otherwise. It was arguably the 27-year-old right-hander's best showing since the start of June, as he had given up multiple runs while working fewer than six innings in his prior six starts. Warren still has a 5.56 ERA and 1.68 WHIP over his last seven starts and holds a 4.03 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 96:33 K:BB across 98.1 innings overall.

Cavalli took a no-decision Sunday against the Yankees, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out five.

Cavalli cruised through four scoreless innings initially Sunday, but the Yankees were able to tag the hurler for a pair of runs in the fifth frame. It was still the third quality start in the 27-year-old right-hander's past four outings and eighth of the campaign overall. Cavalli has put together a solid first half of play, posting a 3.83 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 110:32 K:BB over 98.2 innings (20 appearances).

Webb recorded the final two outs Sunday to pick up the save in an 8-4 win over Cincinnati.

After Caleb Thielbar allowed a pair of singles, Webb entered with one out in the ninth inning and proceeded to record the final two outs, locking down his fourth save this season. With Daniel Palencia (elbow) on the IL, Webb and Trent Thornton have stepped up as Chicago's primary ninth-inning options. Webb now has three saves in his last four appearances while holding opponents scoreless in his last nine innings. He'll head into the All-Star break with a 3.05 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 48:16 K:BB across 41.1 innings.
