Bruce Zimmermann - Takes loss SundayZimmermann allowed three runs on six hits and three walks with three strikeouts over 5.2 innings, taking the loss versus Tampa Bay on Sunday.

ImpactThe southpaw was solid but not spectacular, throwing just 56 of his 95 pitches for strikes. Zimmermann allowed a decisive two-RBI single to Taylor Walls in the fourth inning, and Baltimore's offense didn't get him off the hook. For the season, Zimmermann has a 4.83 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 53:20 K:BB across 59.2 innings. He projects to make his next start versus Toronto during next weekend's series.

Taylor Walls - Three hits in winWalls went 3-for-4 with two RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 7-1 win over Baltimore.

ImpactAll three of the shortstop's hits were singles. Walls also stole second and scored on a Yandy Diaz single in the third inning, then followed up with a two-RBI single in the fourth. Through 71 plate appearances, Walls is slashing .250/.366/.367 with a home run, seven RBI, eight runs scored and three steals. The rookie is more known for speed than power, but his fantasy impact is limited since he frequently hits in the bottom half of the order.

Randy Arozarena - Blasts grand slamArozarena went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Sunday's 7-1 win over Baltimore.

ImpactArozarena gave Tampa Bay plenty of insurance with seventh-inning slam off Baltimore reliever Cesar Valdez. The outfielder ended his home run drought that dated back to May 20, a span of 19 games. The 26-year-old is slashing. 261/.342/.412 with eight homers, 34 RBI, 42 runs scored and 10 stolen bases across 269 plate appearances.

Michael Wacha - Yields run in two inningsWacha allowed a run on two hits and a walk in two innings in a 7-1 win over Baltimore on Sunday. He did not factor in the decision.

ImpactThe 29-year-old gave up an RBI single to Pat Valaika in the second inning. Wacha then turned the ball over to Josh Fleming, who pitched four scoreless innings. Working as an opener essentially nullifies Wacha's chances of getting a win, although he's also seen time as a bulk reliever. The right-hander has a 4.54 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 30:11 K:BB across 39.2 innings.

Josh Fleming - Collects sixth winFleming (6-4) allowed only one walk and struck out three over four scoreless innings to earn the win Sunday over Baltimore.

ImpactMichael Wacha opened the game, allowing a run in two innings before Fleming took over on the mound. That arrangement worked out well, as Tampa Bay took over the lead on Fleming's watch, and he was able to pick up his sixth win of the season. The southpaw has a 3.20 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 33:13 K:BB across 56.1 innings this season. He's started five of his 11 appearances, and he's tentatively scheduled to make his next outing in Seattle during next weekend's series. It's unclear if he'll work as a traditional starter or behind an opener.
