Carlton was recalled from Triple-A Toledo prior to Friday's game against the Rays.

The right-hander was sent back to Toledo on Monday after retiring the lone batter he faced during his major-league debut Saturday. He'll now rejoin the Tigers' bullpen with Miguel Del Pozo (illness) being placed on the COVID-19 injured list.

Patino will start Sunday against the Tigers rather than Saturday as previously scheduled, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Shane McClanahan (back) was scheduled to take the ball Sunday, but with him moving to the injured list, Patino's start moves back a day as Chris Archer lines up to toe the rubber Saturday. Patino will be looking to bounce back from a shaky outing against the Twins in which he allowed four runs on six hits and three walks over 2.2 innings.

Alexander will start in place of Matthew Boyd for Friday's game against Tampa Bay after Boyd was scratched for an undisclosed reason, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

The Tigers had planned to skip Alexander in the rotation after using him out of the bullpen Tuesday, but he'll now get the start in the series opener with Boyd apparently dealing with some sort of issue. Alexander failed to work into the fifth inning in either of his two starts prior to his Tuesday relief appearance, so he could face an uphill battle in attempting to qualify for a win Friday.

Hernandez (6-1) allowed three hits and three walks with one strikeout in six innings to earn the win over Baltimore on Thursday.

While the strikeout total was low, Hernandez managed to throw 55 of 89 pitches for strikes in the contest. The 24-year-old was excellent in recording his fourth quality start in his last six appearances (five starts). For the year, Hernandez has a 3.29 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 70:34 K:BB in 76.2 innings. He's allowed more than two runs in just two of 10 outings since the All-Star break, emerging as a reliable option in Kansas City's rotation. He lines up for a home start against Oakland next week.

Chargois (5-1) took the loss and was charged with a blown save in a defeat at the hands of the Red Sox on Wednesday, allowing an earned run on two hits and a walk over one inning.

Chargois served up a go-ahead two-run home run to Hunter Renfroe in the eighth inning after the Rays' Nelson Cruz had snapped a scoreless tie with an RBI single in the visitor's half of the frame. Chargois has now allowed an earned run in back-to-back appearances, only the second such time he's done so this season.

Clase pitched a clean ninth inning Thursday to earn the save against Minnesota.

The 23-year-old was tasked with preserving a 4-1 lead and needed only 11 pitches to retire Jorge Polanco, Josh Donaldson and Max Kepler. It was the 22nd save of the year for Clase, who has been scored upon just once in his last 23 appearances dating back to mid-July. He's issued only one walk during that stretch against 22 strikeouts.

Chafin picked up the save against the White Sox on Thursday after tossing a scoreless inning while allowing one hit.

Chafin worked around a two-out double by Romy Gonzalez to finish off a close lead for the A's. The left-hander didn't induce any strikeouts, but he did throw 10 of his 13 pitches for strikes. The save was just the third of the year for Chafin, who is seeing more ninth-inning opportunities of late given Lou Trivino's recent struggles. Chafin has an excellent 0.86 ERA and 0.76 WHIP across 21 innings since his trade from the Cubs.

Lopez (3-2) was charged with the loss Thursday against the A's after allowing three runs (one earned) on six hits and three walks while striking out two across five innings.

It wasn't his best outing, but Lopez held things in check enough to give the White Sox a chance. Unfortunately, he failed to receive run support from his teammates while also dealing with defensive woes. The right-hander may not receive another chance in the rotation next week with Lucas Giolito (hamstring) and Lance Lynn (knee) nearing their returns from the injured list. Across 16 appearances (six starts) this season, Lopez is sporting a 2.05 ERA and 0.84 WHIP.

Manaea (9-9) earned the win Thursday after holding the White Sox to one run on five hits and a walk while striking out nine across seven innings.

The southpaw displayed strong command en route to his ninth win, recording nine punchouts for the second straight game to earn his 14th quality start of the year. Manaea's only blemish of the day came from an RBI single by Jose Abreu in the third inning. The 29-year-old will look to continue his success during his next projected start Wednesday at Kansas City.

Holmes (6-3) was tagged with the loss against Toronto on Wednesday, allowing an unearned run on two hits while striking out two over one inning.

Both hits against the right-hander went for singles, but an error by Andrew Velazquez provided the extra base needed for Toronto to scratch out a run. Despite the loss Wednesday, Holmes has been very effective since joining the Yankees in late July, posting a 2.30 ERA, 0.70 WHIP and 19:1 K:BB across 15.2 innings.
