Evans (6-4) earned the win Saturday, allowing three runs on three hits and three walks over 5.1 innings against the Rays. He struck out four.

The rookie gave up a first-inning homer to Brandon Lowe but settled in to pitch into the sixth before being lifted for Caleb Ferguson, who surrendered a three-run shot to Junior Caminero that brought home both of Evans' inherited runners. After a strong start to his big-league career, Evans has hit a rough patch, allowing multiple runs in five of his past six outings -- including two six-run performances. For the season, the right-hander holds a 4.36 ERA and 1.39 WHIP over 74.1 innings in 14 starts.

Giolito allowed four runs on five hits and six walks while striking out one over 4.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Padres on Saturday.

Giolito hasn't had control problems this year, but he struggled to find the strike zone Saturday, landing just 55 of 97 pitches for strikes. The six walks were double his previous season high, but he's now allowed four or more runs in three of his last five starts. Giolito has a reasonable 3.77 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 82:33 K:BB through 100.1 innings over 18 starts this year, and his recent shaky performance can be chalked up to a tough run of opponents. His next start is projected to be at home versus the Marlins.

Bassitt (11-6) took the loss Saturday, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks over 4.2 innings against the Dodgers. He struck out two.

The right-hander made it through three scoreless frames before giving up a two-run homer to Max Muncy in the fourth inning and a towering solo shot to Shohei Ohtani in the fifth, which put him on track for the loss. Bassitt has had an inconsistent season, recording a 4.17 ERA and 1.32 WHIP, but he's remained dependable in taking the ball every fifth day and providing length, logging 133.2 innings across 25 appearances.

Richardson underwent a procedure to remove a parasite from his digestive tract earlier this week, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. He lost weight while battling the stomach illness.

Richardson was placed on the injured list with an illness Monday. It was initially thought he could return when first eligible, but given the severity of the ailment and his weight loss, he'll likely need to go on a rehab outing or two to regain his strength.

Urena is slated to start Sunday against the Royals at Target Field, Phil Miller of the Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Urena will make a second straight turn through the rotation after he started last Sunday versus Cleveland and gave up two runs over four innings. The right-hander could have a longer leash versus Kansas City, but his poor ratios on the season (5.24 ERA, 1.52 WHIP, 7.1 K-BB%) over stops with four different teams render him a poor streaming option.

Ober (4-7) took the loss against the Royals on Saturday, allowing one run on four hits and one walk while striking out four across six innings.

Ober started his outing strong by retiring the first seven batters he faced, and despite limiting the Royals' offense to a Maikel Garcia RBI double in the third, there wasn't enough run support from the Twins batters to avoid the loss. It was Ober's seventh quality start of the season and first since returning from a left hip impingement Aug. 2. Ober is in line to make his next start at home against the Tigers next week.

Cameron (6-5) earned the win against the Twins on Saturday, allowing six hits and two walks while striking out four across 5.2 scoreless innings.

Cameron kept the Twins off the board despite allowing at least two baserunners in three of the six innings he pitched in, and he was one out away from logging his eighth quality start of the season. It was the third time in his last five starts that Cameron hasn't yielded a run, and he now sports a 2.52 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 76:26 K:BB across 93 innings this season. He's earned the win in three of his last four outings, and he'll aim for his seventh victory of the season against the White Sox at home next weekend.

Young (0-6) took the loss against the Athletics on Saturday, allowing six runs on six hits and two walks with two strikeouts over three innings.

Five of the six runs Young surrendered came via the long ball, and he was pulled after just 74 pitches in his shortest outing of the season. Coming off back-to-back starts in which he allowed only two earned runs combined, the 26-year-old has still failed to complete five innings in eight of 10 outings this year. He'll take a 6.70 ERA, 1.74 WHIP and 40:20 K:BB across 44.1 innings into a road matchup with Houston next week.

Burke (4-9) took the loss in Saturday's game against the Guardians, allowing two runs on five hits and three walks while striking out seven across 3.1 innings.

Burke's outing was highlighted by him striking out the side in the second inning, but he ran up his pitch count to 88 (55 strikes) despite not making it out of the fourth and wasn't able to get enough run support to avoid the loss. Burke has struck out at least five batters in eight of his last nine starts, and over that span he has a 3.53 ERA and 1.43 WHIP across 43.1 innings. He'll look to get back into the win column in his next start, which is lined up for next weekend on the road against Kansas City.

Gordon, who last started Aug. 2 in Boston, appears to have been moved to a relief role with the Astros naming Jason Alexander their starting pitcher for Sunday's series finale against the Yankees.

Alexander has pitched more recently than Gordon -- he threw six scoreless frames Monday en route to his second win of the season -- so the fact that the right-hander is receiving the start over Gordon on Sunday suggests that the rookie lefty could work out of the bullpen moving forward. Gordon has posted a 7.36 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 16:3 K:BB in 14.2 innings over his last three starts.
