Turnbull is slated to start Friday's game against the White Sox.

Turnbull has made two long relief appearances covering 4.1 total innings since getting recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on June 8, but he'll pick up his first start with the Blue Jays by slotting into the rotation spot opened up when Bowden Francis (shoulder) landed on the injured list. Because Turnbull hasn't tossed more than 80 pitches in any of his seven appearances between the majors and minors this season, he likely won't handle a big workload. With Max Scherzer (thumb) tracking toward a return from the 60-day injured list next week, Turnbull could be headed back to the bullpen after Friday's outing.

The White Sox are expected to recall Gonzalez from Triple-A Charlotte, Chase Ford of MiLB Central reported Friday.

Gonzalez has cruised to a 2.75 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 5-0 record in 19.2 innings of relief with Charlotte. The 23-year-old has yet to make his MLB debut. Gonzalez joined the White Sox organization in December as part of the trade that sent Garrett Crochet to the Red Sox.

The Royals activated Long (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Friday.

Long has been sidelined since mid-April with left elbow inflammation but has been cleared to return after making 12 rehab appearances. The southpaw held a 12.86 ERA before going on the IL and a 9.90 ERA on his rehab assignment, so Long will likely be used in low-leverage spots initially.

Kelly (1-0) earned the win in Thursday's 6-4 victory over the Astros. He allowed no hits and one walk over a scoreless inning.

The right-hander was summoned for the 10th inning and escaped unscathed, inducing an inning-ending double play off the bat of Jake Meyers to set the stage for a Nick Kurtz walk-off homer. Kelly was reinstated June 5 after serving a year-long suspension for violating MLB's gambling policy. Since returning, the reliever has tossed 6.2 scoreless innings. While his 3.65 FIP and 5.4 BB/9 suggest potential regression, the Athletics have to be encouraged by Kelly's performance after a year off from MLB action.

Latz didn't strike out a batter and allowed one run on three hits and one walk over 5.2 innings out of the bullpen in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Royals.

The Rangers are without multiple members of the rotation due to injuries, and as a result, the team has resorted to three bullpen games over the last 10 days. Latz, who was primarily a starter in the minors, entered the game behind opening pitcher Shawn Armstrong and ended up making his lengthiest appearance since April 2022, when he was in the rotation at Triple-A Round Rock.. He's averaged three innings over his last four outings and might be an option to make another spot start or bulk-relief appearance next week if Nathan Eovaldi (triceps) needs more time to return from the 15-day injured list.

The Royals optioned Bowlan to Triple-A Omaha on Friday.

Bowlan was unscored upon in three appearances during his most recent stint in the majors, but he nonetheless finds himself heading back to Omaha. The Royals will announce a corresponding move prior to Friday's game in San Diego.

Hader (4-1) allowed two runs (one earned) on one hit and struck out two over 1.1 innings to take the extra-inning loss Thursday versus the Athletics.

Hader did well to keep the game tied with a sharp 11-pitch ninth inning, but he served up a walk-off home run to Nick Kurtz in the 10th. This is just the second time all season Hader's been tagged for multiple runs, though he has been scored upon in two of his last four outings. He has a 1.67 ERA, 0.74 WHIP and 50:7 K:BB through 32.1 innings this season, and he remains a perfect 18-for-18 in save chances, as he entered Thursday's contest with the game tied. Hader is as sharp as ever this year, but it'll be important for him to put this outing behind him quickly, as he's had a tendency to let slumps snowball in previous seasons.

Miller allowed a run on two hits and struck out one over 1.1 innings, taking a blown save in Thursday's 6-4 extra-inning win over the Astros.

Miller was brought in with two outs in the eighth inning, but he allowed a game-tying, three-run home run to Victor Caratini. Miller stayed in for the ninth and kept the game tied, but he didn't reap the rewards of that effort, as Michael Kelly pitched the 10th and earned the win. Miller has converted 14 of 17 save chances this season, so his status as the Athletics' closer isn't in question despite mediocre ratios. He's at a 5.20 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 46:14 K:BB over 27.2 innings.

Bautista struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Rays.

Bautista had to work for it, throwing 12 of 21 pitches for strikes despite not allowing a baserunner. He's on an eight-inning scoreless streak with a 13:5 K:BB and has allowed just one hit during that span. Bautista struggled at times in May with a 5.59 ERA in 10 outings, but he's rounded back into form with his recent dominant stretch. He's at a 2.81 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 34:17 K:BB through 25.2 innings while converting 15 of his 16 save chances this season.

Bigge (lat) is being evaluated at a local hospital after taking a 105-mph liner to the side of his face while in the dugout of Thursday's game against Baltimore, Ryan Bass reports.

Bigge suffered a scary injury that was originally believed to be related to his neck or eye. Fortunately, the issue wasn't sustained in either area, and he is coherent at the hospital. More details will likely become available Friday.
