Santana (2-4) allowed one earned run on four hits while striking out one across 1.1 innings, taking the loss to the Angels on Friday.

Santana allowed three hits in the sixth inning to allow the Angels to take the lead. It was his second relief loss in his last four appearances. The 25-year-old has a 5.44 ERA and 1.65 WHIP with 35 strikeouts in 43 innings this season.

Otto allowed two earned runs on four hits and one walk while striking out four across 4.2 innings in the loss to the Angels on Friday. He did not factor into the decision.

Otto allowed three hits in the first inning that led to a pair of runs. He didn't have any further damage, but he was relieved with two outs in the fifth inning. It wasn't a bad start, but it wasn't a repeat of his scoreless MLB debut. He'll be pitching for his spot in the starting rotation with Dane Dunning, Mike Foltynewicz and Spencer Howard all expected to eventually return from the COVID-19 injured list.

Iglesias fired a scoreless ninth inning, allowing one hit while striking out one to earn the save in the win over the Rangers on Friday.

Iglesias entered the ninth inning with a one-run lead. He allowed a leadoff single but retired the following three batters to finish the game. He has three saves in his last three appearances. The 31-year-old has a 2.66 ERA and 0.84 WHIP with a 13.6 K/9 in 61 innings this season.

Thompson was placed on the 10-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation, retroactive to Sept. 3.

Thompson has been knocked around lately to the tune of nine earned runs in his last 7.2 innings. It's not entirely clear how serious this injury is, but Thompson will be eligible to return as soon as Sept. 14 with the backdated stint. Adbert Alzolay is a logical candidate to step into the rotation next week.

Alexander didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 15-5 win over the Reds, allowing one run on two hits and two walks over 3.2 innings. He struck out five.

The Tigers supplied all the run support the southpaw could have asked for, but Alexander wasn't efficient enough to qualify for his third win, getting the hook after 79 pitches (50 strikes). He'll take a 4.25 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 66:19 K:BB through 78.1 innings into his next appearance.

Romano (7-1) picked up the win in Friday's wild 11-10 victory over the A's, giving up two runs on two hits in the ninth inning. He struck out two without walking a batter.

The Jays headed into the eighth inning down 8-2 but staged a huge rally to tie the game. Romano then came out for the top of the ninth and promptly served up a two-run shot to Mark Canha, but then found himself collecting a win instead of a loss when Marcus Semien responded with a walkoff three-run blast. Romano saw his 11-game scoreless streak snapped, but he still has a sharp 2.47 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 69:20 K:BB through 51 innings on the year with 15 saves and five holds in addition to his victories.

Trivino coughed up four runs on a hit, two walks and a hit by pitch over two-thirds of an inning in Friday's 11-10 loss to the Blue Jays.

Making his first appearance since Aug. 26, Trivino entered the game in the eighth inning in a low-leverage spot with the A's ahead 8-2, but the right-hander got the ball rolling on a complete meltdown by the Oakland bullpen. He has been dealing with back trouble recently, but this still marked the fourth straight outing in which Trivino has been scored upon, and his usage Friday suggests he may no longer hold the closer job.

Manaea didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 11-10 loss to the Blue Jays, allowing two runs on five hits over seven innings. He struck out nine without walking a batter.

The lefty seemed to be cruising to his ninth win of the season, exiting after 86 pitches (64 strikes) with a comfortable 8-2 lead, but the Oakland bullpen imploded behind him. Manaea still delivered his 13th quality start of the season, and he sports a 3.91 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and sparkling 165:36 K:BB through 149.2 innings.

Voth (3-1) took the loss Friday as the Nationals fell 6-2 to the Mets, coughing up four runs (three earned) on three hits and two walks in the 10th inning. He struck out two.

The right-hander gave up an RBI single to the first batter he faced in the 10th, scoring Francisco Lindor as the phantom runner, and things spiraled out of control from there for Voth. It's the fourth time in his last eight appearances he's been tagged for multiple runs, and on the season the 29-year-old carries a 4.88 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 48:21 K:BB through 48 innings.

Nolin didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 6-2 extra-inning loss to the Mets, giving up two runs on five hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out three.

Facing the Mets for the third time in four starts since joining the Nats' rotation, Nolin didn't have much trouble navigating through the New York lineup despite the familiarity. The journeyman southpaw tossed 63 of 102 pitches for strikes but was in line for his third loss of the year until the Washington offense finally showed a flicker of life against Edwin Diaz in the ninth inning. Nolin has managed a palatable 3.48 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 9:1 K:BB through 10.1 innings over his last two outings, and the organization has no better options for his rotation spot.
