Rasmussen came away with a no-decision in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Mariners, scattering four hits over six scoreless innings. He struck out four without walking a batter.

The right-hander put up nothing but goose eggs for the second straight trip to the mound, firing 55 of 79 pitches for strikes in his fifth quality start of the year, but Rasmussen saw his 10th win slip away when Griffin Jax melted down in the eighth inning. Rasmussen has worked at least five innings in three straight outings and thrown more than 70 pitches in four straight as the Rays ease his workload restrictions while trying to stay in the AL wild-card picture, and since the All-Star break he sports a 1.77 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 20:3 K:BB over 20.1 innings. He'll look to keep rolling in his next start, which lines up to come on the road next week against the A's.

Garcia (elbow) struck out seven and allowed three earned runs and no walks over four scoreless innings Thursday in a rehab appearance with Triple-A Sugar Land.

Garcia made the sixth appearance of his rehab assignment and was able to reach the fourth inning for the first time across his four minor-league stops. In what was his finest appearance yet, Garcia built up to 59 pitches. Garcia will likely need to push his pitch count up to the 75-to-85 range before the Astros consider inserting him into the big-league rotation, but he may be just one or two rehab starts away from being activated from the 60-day injured list.

Scherzer (2-2) allowed two runs on six hits and three walks while striking out five over six innings to take the loss versus the Dodgers on Friday.

Scherzer put in a decent effort, but Clayton Kershaw was just a little better for the Dodgers. Scherzer's 98 pitches were a season high, and he threw 63 strikes to earn his third straight quality start, though he's taken both of his losses on the year during that span. He's now at a 4.21 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 49:11 K:BB through 47 innings across nine starts this season. The 41-year-old's next outing is projected to be another tough one, as he's lined up for a home start versus the Cubs next week.

Kelly (9-7) took the loss Friday against the Phillies, allowing four runs on five hits and five walks in 4.1 innings. He struck out four.

Kelly's second start since joining the Rangers didn't go nearly as well as his first, as he surrendered at least four runs Friday for the first time since June 15 against the Padres. It was also just the second time this year that the veteran right-hander was unable to toss at least five innings, and the five walks established a season high. Kelly will be looking to get back on track when he brings a 3.38 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 131:43 K:BB across 138.2 innings into his next scheduled outing, which is projected to be at home against his former Diamondbacks team.

Hendricks took a no-decision Friday against the Tigers, allowing three runs on five hits and no walks in five innings. He struck out six.

The six strikeouts were Hendricks' most since his June 17 start against the Yankees, and he was able to throw at least five innings for the 15th time in his last 17 outings. The soft-throwing veteran right-hander also managed to produce a respectable 10 whiffs on the evening, and Friday also marked his first appearance without issuing a walk since July 4 in Toronto. Hendricks still has an uninspiring 4.63 ERA and 78:28 K:BB across 116.2 innings, and he doesn't shape up as a particularly appealing fantasy streamer at home versus the first-place Dodgers next week.

Skubal took a no-decision Friday against the Angels, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks in 4.2 innings. He struck out six.

The four runs allowed were Skubal's most since his July 11 start against Seattle, and it was just the fifth time this season that he yielded at least four runs. The All-Star southpaw has now fanned at least six all but one of his last 18 outings, though Friday was his shortest appearance of the year. Skubal is set to draw a soft matchup his next time out against the last-place White Sox in Chicago.

Lugo (8-6) took the loss Friday against the Twins, allowing seven runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out one over four innings.

Lugo was tagged for a season-high seven runs, and for the second straight outing in which he failed to complete five innings. The 35-year-old struggled from the start, allowing a trio of runs in the first inning, including a Matt Wallner solo homer. The right-hander needed 82 pitches to record just 12 outs, continuing a rough stretch in which he's posted a 6.49 ERA and allowed six home runs over his last five starts. Lugo will look to regroup in his next scheduled outing against the Nationals.

Ryan (11-5) earned the win Friday against the Royals, allowing one run on four hits while striking out five over five innings. He did not issue a walk.

Ryan's only blemish of the day came against the very first batter he faced, as he surrendered a leadoff homer to Mike Yastrzemski before settling in to blank Kansas City the rest of the way. The right-hander has now allowed two runs or fewer in seven of his last eight starts, continuing to provide elite consistency atop Minnesota's rotation. Ryan will take a sharp 2.79 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 146:25 K:BB into his next scheduled outing against the Yankees.

Civale (3-7) took the loss Friday against Cleveland, surrendering nine runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out six over 3.1 innings.

After not allowing an earned run across 17.1 innings in his previous three starts, Civale was knocked around from the jump Friday, with Cleveland scoring five runs in the first inning alone. The right-hander never found his footing, ultimately exiting in the fourth for his shortest outing since his season debut. The rough performance was a stark contrast to the dominant form he'd shown recently. Civale will look to quickly put this start behind him when he takes the mound again next week.

Bibee (8-9) earned the win over the White Sox on Friday, allowing four runs on five hits and four walks while striking out seven across 5.1 innings.

Bibee looked comfortable through the early innings, yielding just three hits over his first five frames, before running into trouble in the sixth, when a pair of walks and a two-RBI single from Curtis Mead ended his day. The right-hander has now been tagged for four earned runs in each of his last three outings and hasn't held an opponent to fewer than two runs since May 22. While Bibee continues to miss bats at a respectable rate, his occasional command lapses and tendency to unravel late in starts have become real concerns.
