At Citizens Bank Park
Jackie Robinson Day
LHP
0-0, 6.00 ERA, 20 SO
Erlin allowed three homers over the 43 pitches he threw in a relief appearance against the Phillies on Aug. 10. But the lefty has since made two effective four-inning starts. He allowed a Bryce Harper two-run homer in the first inning on Saturday, but blanked Philadelphia over the remainder of the outing.
RHP
3-0, 2.58 ERA, 23 SO
Wheeler has been a godsend to the Phillies’ rotation since he joined the team. He rediscovered the feel for his curveball in his last start, which made him even more dangerous.

Cubs @ Reds
At Great American Ball Park
Jackie Robinson Day
RHP
3-4, 4.09 ERA, 34 SO
Hendricks allowed three runs on seven hits in 5 1/3 innings of a loss to the White Sox on Saturday. He struck out three, walked one and gave up two homers. The righty gave up six runs the last time he faced the Reds on July 29.
RHP
1-1, 3.91 ERA, 32 SO
Because of postponements and doubleheaders, Mahle hasn't had a typical between-starts routine. But the wait since his last start on Sunday isn't so long this time. He gave up three runs in three innings in a loss at St. Louis in that outing.

Nationals @ Red Sox
At Fenway Park
Jackie Robinson Day
RHP
3-1, 3.86 ERA, 55 SO
Scherzer makes this start a day after his scheduled outing in the finale vs. the Phillies was postponed. He is 4-5 with a 5.90 ERA and 62 strikeouts in 11 career starts against the Red Sox. In five starts at Fenway Park, he is 2-2 with a 3.13 ERA.
LHP
2-4, 4.58 ERA, 24 SO
Pérez will open the series against the Nationals trying to carry the momentum of Saturday's seven-inning, one-run no-decision in Baltimore. Pérez said he's altered his weight-training routine to help build up his legs, which has resulted in a slight velocity boost.

Dodgers @ Rangers
At Globe Life Field
Jackie Robinson Day
RHP
1-1, 2.83 ERA, 23 SO
May continues to pitch effectively, although high pitch counts have prevented him from going as deep into games as the club needs. But with the rotation thinned out, he remains in it. His pitches are dynamic, but only one strikeout in last start indicates he's still a work in progress.
LHP
0-5, 5.60 ERA, 35 SO
Minor is 0-2 with 4.97 ERA in three starts at home this season. This his first start vs. the Dodgers since Aug. 29, 2018, when he allowed two runs in six innings. He is 1-3 with a 2.62 ERA in eight career games (seven starts) vs. L.A.

Pirates @ Brewers
At Miller Park
Jackie Robinson Day
LHP
1-2, 7.62 ERA, 31 SO
Holland, a likely trade candidate, is coming off a solid but inefficient start against the Brewers. He allowed one run on four hits and three walks while striking out five over five innings, though it took 99 pitches to do it.
RHP
1-0, 2.78 ERA, 46 SO
This will be Burnes' third outing since rejoining the rotation and his second straight start against the Pirates. He allowed three runs in 5 1/3 innings and took a no-decision at Pittsburgh on Sunday.

Jackie Robinson Day
RHP
1-0, 2.70 ERA, 13 SO
After McKenzie turned in one of the best Major League debuts in team history on Saturday against the Tigers, the Indians had no choice but to reward him with another start. He fanned 10 in six innings, allowing two hits.
RHP
0-3, 7.82 ERA, 17 SO
Though he was able to build himself back up to a full pitch count quickly after the Cardinals' return to action, Ponce de Leon will be looking for more efficiency. He allowed two runs on three hits with four walks in 4 2/3 innings against the Reds on Sunday.

Padres @ Rockies
At Coors Field
Jackie Robinson Day
RHP
5-2, 2.61 ERA, 37 SO
Davies has been excellent this season; his only minor blip came at Coors Field earlier this month, when he allowed three runs over five innings while striking out only two. Opponents are hitting just .169 against his changeup this season.
LHP
2-1, 3.43 ERA, 26 SO
Freeland, with quality starts in all six outings, has forced almost as many double-play grounders (10) in seven starts this year as he did in 21 starts last year (12). But that was a bad year; in 2018, he led the National League with 24.

RHP
1-0, 2.09 ERA, 47 SO
Gallen has been a bright spot in the rotation for the D-backs this year. In his last start, the right-hander allowed just one run and scattered three hits over six frames as he settled for a no-decision.

LHP

Jackie Robinson Day
RHP
0-1, 1.15 ERA, 19 SO
Berríos pitched ilke an ace in his outing against the Brewers on Thursday, tossing six shutout innings during which he allowed just one hit with one walk and nine strikeouts. It was a big improvement after previous starts during which he struggled with his command.
LHP
1-1, 6.75 ERA, 8 SO
Fulmer was badly frustrated after his last start, allowing five runs in three innings Friday at Cleveland. He battled his command issues and long at-bats, counteracting his jump in velocity.

Bassitt was the victim of rare poor defense by the A's infield in his last start on Saturday, with two of his four runs allowed being unearned due to multiple errors in a loss to the Angels.
RHP
3-3, 3.93 ERA, 56 SO
Since allowing eight earned runs in 3 2/3 innings on Aug. 5 at Arizona, McCullers has gone 1-1 with a 3.06 ERA and 0.91 WHIP. That includes seven scoreless innings Aug. 10 vs. the Giants.
