Arrighetti did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 4-2 extra-innings loss to the Orioles, giving up one run on one hit and four walks with six strikeouts over five innings.

Arrighetti allowed only one hit and battled through control issues, limiting the damage despite throwing just 45 of 85 pitches for strikes. The 26-year-old has issued 16 walks with just a 55 percent strike rate over his past four outings, a stretch that includes two one-run performances and two eight-run blowups. He'll take a 4.34 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 87:48 K:BB across 87 innings this season into a road matchup with the White Sox next weekend.

Rogers did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 4-2 extra-innings win over the Astros, allowing one run on seven hits and one walk with eight strikeouts over 6.1 innings.

Rogers opened with six scoreless innings before allowing a run in the seventh, throwing 72 of 99 pitches for strikes with 12 whiffs and departing in a 1-1 tie. The 28-year-old picked up where he left off heading into the All-Star break, as he's now logged five quality starts in his past six outings while allowing just five earned runs during that stretch. He'll carry a 4.28 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 77:32 K:BB across 96.2 innings this season into a home matchup with Atlanta next weekend.

Eovaldi (illness) said Saturday that he is feeling significantly better, and the team believes he'll be ready to make his scheduled start Sunday against Atlanta, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Eovaldi picked up an illness during the All-Star break, but it no longer seems like he's at risk of missing any starts. The 36-year-old finished the first half by posting a 3.48 ERA and 1.16 WHIP across 31 innings covering his last five starts, reaching nine strikeouts four times and also collecting four wins in that span.

The Tigers reinstated Valdez from the bereavement list Saturday.

Valdez isn't lined up to take the mound until Detroit's next series against the Cubs, but he'll return to the team a few days ahead of time after moving to the bereavement list before the All-Star break. Beau Brieske was sent down to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Martin (9-5) took the loss against the Blue Jays on Saturday, allowing one run on four hits and two walks while striking out five across 5.2 innings.

Martin and Shane Bieber were locked in a pitcher's duel Saturday at Rogers Centre. Martin did everything he could, but the lone run he gave up -- a George Springer RBI single in the fourth frame -- turned out to be the difference in what ended as a 1-0 win for the Blue Jays. Martin was one out shy from logging his 11th quality start of the season, and he ended his day at 85 pitches (55 strikes) with 10 whiffs and five groundouts. He'll take a 3.31 ERA and 1.27 WHIP across 106 innings into his next start, which is lined up for next weekend at home against the Astros.

Bieber (1-1) earned the win against the White Sox on Saturday, allowing three hits and two walks while striking out six across six scoreless innings.

Saturday was a pitcher's duel between Bieber and Davis Martin, with the former coming away with the win. It was the best outing of the season for Bieber, who needed just 80 pitches (51 strikes) to get through six innings while generating 13 whiffs and eight groundouts. It was a welcome sign for the Blue Jays, especially with Max Scherzer (back/side/thumb) on the 15-day IL and the recent struggles of 23-year-old right-hander Trey Yesavage. Bieber's next start is tentatively slated for next week at home against the Rays.

Weathers and the Yankees won't face the Dodgers on Saturday since the game was postponed due to rain.

Saturday's contest will be made up as part of a doubleheader Sunday, and Weathers will presumably start one of the two games. The 26-year-old southpaw currently holds a 4.15 ERA through his first 18 starts with the Pinstripes, but he's given up two earned runs or fewer in four of his last five outings.

Hancock (hand) is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Reds, Tim Booth of The Seattle Times reports.

Hancock exited his final start before the All-Star break Sunday after getting hit on the hand by a comebacker. X-rays came back negative after the game, and now that he's had extra time to recover thanks to the midseason break and a move to the back of the rotation, he'll be able to make his next start without having to spend time on the IL. The 27-year-old righty currently boasts a 3.17 ERA and 1.01 WHIP for the season and has conceded just one run in his last 14.1 innings.

Bradish agreed to terms on a five-year, $90 million contract extension with the Orioles on Saturday.

Bradish's new deal will buy out his two remaining years of arbitration as well as three years of free agency, ensuring the Orioles retain their ace through the 2031 campaign. The 29-year-old righty missed significant time in 2024 and '25 due to Tommy John surgery but has been fully healthy this year and sports a 3.61 ERA and 1.35 WHIP alongside a 106:50 K:BB through 107.1 innings.

Montgomery (elbow) will start Saturday for Triple-A Round Rock as he continues his rehab assignment, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Montgomery will make his sixth overall rehab start, his fourth with Round Rock. Through his first five starts, the 33-year-old has posted a remarkable 2.25 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 11:0 K:BB through 12 innings. This upcoming start will possibly be the southpaw's final rehab appearance after he underwent UCL reconstruction surgery in March of 2025.
