Sonny Gray - Stifles Tigers in winGray (5-3) earned the victory Sunday in Detroit, striking out seven in six innings while allowing a run on two hits, a walk and a hit batsman.
ImpactGray retired the first 10 batters he faced and then ran into a little bit of trouble in the fourth when a hit-by-pitch, a walk and a single led to Detroit's lone run. He returned to form after that and retired seven of the last eight batters he faced. After starting the season with a 2.17 ERA through his first 10 starts, the 32-year-old struggled in his first three starts in July, allowing 14 runs in 13.1 innings while posting an 8:6 K:BB.

Javier Báez - Considered day-to-dayBaez (arm) is considered day-to-day after leaving Sunday's game against the Twins, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
ImpactBaez was hit in the elbow by a pitch in the bottom of the fourth inning and initially remained in the game, but he struggled gripping a bat and was replaced by a pinch hitter in the bottom of the sixth. Prior to his departure due to his upper arm contusion, he went 0-for-1 with a run. If the 29-year-old isn't ready to play in Monday's series opener against the Padres, Harold Castro and Willi Castro are candidates to fill in at shortstop.

Rony García - Facing shutdownManager A.J. Hinch said Sunday that Garcia is dealing with tightness in his bicep and will be shut down from throwing until the issue subsides, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
ImpactGarcia returned from the 15-day injured list Sunday after missing three weeks with shoulder soreness, but Hinch said that the right-hander's current injury is unrelated to his previous issue. Garcia will likely require a trip to the injured list, and a timetable for his return should come into focus once he's cleared to resume throwing.
