Humberto Castellanos - Surrenders two in no-decisionCastellanos didn't factor into the decision during Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Cubs, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk with five strikeouts in 5.1 innings.
ImpactCastellanos served up long balls to Rafael Ortega and Patrick Wisdom to lead off the first and second innings but was able to limit the scoring threats otherwise. Excluding a poor start April 28 against St. Louis, the 24-year-old has surrendered nine runs in 28.1 innings -- good for an impressive 2.81 ERA -- though he's yet to go six innings in any start. Castellanos is slated for a rematch with Chicago next weekend.

Rowan Wick - Second straight saveWick registered the save in a 3-2 victory over the Diamondbacks on Sunday, allowing one hit in a scoreless ninth inning.
ImpactWith David Robertson on the COVID-19 injured list, Wick has converted each of Chicago's last three save chances including two over the past two games. The 29-year-old entered with one on and none out in the ninth and permitted another base hit before inducing a foul-out and game-ending double play to secure the victory. Wick sits in the curious spot of possessing a higher WHIP (1.39) than ERA (1.32), with a 3.67 xERA and 2.93 xFIP suggesting he's been the beneficiary of luck thus far in the runs allowed department.

Justin Steele - Whiffs 10 in no-decisionSteele didn't factor into the decision during Sunday's 3-2 win over Arizona, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits and two walks with 10 strikeouts in six innings.
ImpactSteele submitted his best game by far, encountering trouble only when a two-out hit and error plated two runs in the fourth inning. The outing was the 26-year-old's first going more than five innings, and the 10 whiffs equaled his total from the last four games combined. Steele is slated for a rematch with Arizona next weekend.
