Scott (4-5) took the loss Sunday against the Yankees, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out seven.

Scott made a few costly mistakes in an otherwise strong performance, serving up a pair of solo home runs Sunday. The quality start was the right-hander's first since Aug. 16 versus the Nationals and only his third of the year, though he's surrendered multiple runs in seven straight outings. He's set to take a respectable 3.76 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 127:46 K:BB over 105.1 innings into a tough home matchup versus the Phillies.

Holmes did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Phillies, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks over four innings. He did not record a strikeout.

Holmes gave up a two-run homer to J.T. Realmuto in the second inning. The former kept the Phillies off the board over the next two innings but was pulled in the fifth after allowing the first two batters he faced on base, though Ray Kerr was able to get Philadelphia out of the frame unscathed. Holmes ran up his pitch count to 71 with 40 strikes and just five whiffs, and it was the first time this season that he did not record a strikeout. He'll take a 3.49 ERA and 1.30 WHIP over 141.2 innings into his next start, tentatively slated for next weekend on the road against the Astros.

Schlittler (14-6) notched the win Sunday against the Mets, allowing one hit and two walks in six scoreless innings. He struck out eight.

Schlittler was dominant for the Yankees on Sunday, keeping the crosstown rivals out of the hit column until the fifth inning. It's worth noting the star right-hander was hit by a Bo Bichette comebacker to finish the sixth inning and headed directly to the clubhouse, per Bryan Hoch of MLB.com, but his day was likely finished anyway after he threw 94 pitches. He'll look to extend his streak of starts with one run or zero allowed to eight his next time out in Arizona, where he'll take a 1.95 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 228:44 K:BB over 184.2 innings.

Realmuto went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run, an RBI single and an additional run scored during Sunday's 9-4 win over Atlanta on Sunday.

Realmuto put the Phillies up 2-1 early with a two-run homer in the second inning before contributing to Philadelphia's seven-run eighth with a single that brought Bryson Stott home. Realmuto's three hits tied a season high he set twice prior to Sunday's game, and it was also the fifth time he drove in at least three runs. He has a .654 OPS with three steals, 11 home runs and 49 RBI across 425 plate appearances this season.

Amaya went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Pirates.

Making the start in place of Carson Kelly, Amaya delivered his sixth home run of the season in the fifth inning with a runner on. Kelly ultimately appeared as a pinch hitter, and he's clearly been Chicago's top catcher this year, which limits Amaya's fantasy upside. As it stands, the 27-year-old is best used as a daily option on days when he does find himself in the lineup, but his role is otherwise too small to generate much value in standard formats.

Jobe (2-2) earned the win Sunday against Colorado, allowing one run on three hits and one walk in 6.1 innings. He struck out eight.

Adael Amador took Jobe yard in the opening inning, but that was all the Rockies would muster in the scoring department for the rest of the afternoon. It was the longest outing of the right-hander's career, and the eight strikeouts marked a career best as well. He'll carry a decent 3.89 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 34:13 K:BB over 34.2 innings into his next scheduled outing in Chicago against the division-rival White Sox.

Painter did not factor into the decision Sunday against Atlanta, allowing one run on six hits and four walks while striking out three across five innings.

Painter gave up a sacrifice fly to Drake Baldwin in the first inning, but the former kept Atlanta off the board over the next four frames. Painter tossed 87 pitches (51 strikes) while generating nine whiffs, and he was in line for the win until Atlanta scored two runs in the ninth. He's allowed three earned runs or less in four of his last five outings and sports a 5.54 ERA and 1.44 WHIP over 115.1 innings this season. Painter's next start is lined up for next weekend on the road against the Mets.

Torkelson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Rockies.

Making his second straight start, Torkelson delivered his 23rd home run of the season in the fifth inning. The slugging first baseman has seen his playing time trend downward lately, as he appeared off the bench in each of Detroit's previous three games before starting Saturday and Sunday. Torkelson still offers significant power potential when he's in the lineup, but his current role makes him hard to trust for fantasy managers.

Hughes (0-8) took the loss Sunday against the Tigers, allowing five runs on five hits and two walks in two innings. He struck out two.

Hughes was ineffective all around Sunday, giving up three extra-base hits on the afternoon. It was the shortest outing of the season for the right-hander, who hasn't worked into the sixth inning in any of his last seven starts. Still searching for his first win of the year, he'll take a 6.37 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 50:23 K:BB over 59.1 innings into his next scheduled appearance versus Seattle in hitter-friendly Colorado.

Greene went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and three total RBI in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Rockies.

Greene wasted no time recording his 20th home run of the season, as he went deep in the first inning with a runner on base. The star outfielder has been locked in since returning from the injured list at the beginning of the month with a .378 batting average, 1.217 OPS, four home runs and 17 RBI across 11 games. About the only thing that seems likely to slow Greene down at this point is more frequent rest days due to Detroit's rapidly fading playoff chances.
