Kelly did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 6-4 extra-innings win over the Mariners, allowing two runs on four hits and no walks with six strikeouts over 5.2 innings.

Kelly cruised through five scoreless frames but faltered in the sixth, allowing two runs and departing an out shy of a quality start at just 69 pitches. The 36-year-old threw 48 strikes with an impressive 15 whiffs, and he's now yielded three earned runs or fewer in eight straight outings. He'll carry a 3.22 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 127:38 K:BB across 134.1 innings into a home matchup with the Phillies next weekend.

Skubal (11-3) earned the win against the Phillies on Saturday, allowing three runs on five hits and no walks with 10 strikeouts over seven innings.

Skubal outdueled fellow ace Zack Wheeler, spinning six scoreless frames before allowing three runs in the seventh. He generated 20 whiffs on 98 pitches and has now notched double-digit strikeouts eight times this season. The southpaw leads all qualified starters with a 0.83 WHIP and paces the American League with a 2.18 ERA and 181 strikeouts over 140.2 innings. He lines up to face the Angels at home next weekend.

Ober (hip) allowed four runs on six hits and a walk while striking out four over five innings in a no-decision Saturday versus the Guardians.

Ober missed a month due to a left hip impingement. He had only stretched back out to 65 pitches during his rehab assignment, but he was able to throw 91 pitches (62 strikes) Saturday, so he should have no further workload restrictions as long as he feels good between starts. The next goal for the right-hander will be putting a strong finish on what's been a difficult campaign -- he's pitched to a 5.38 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 78:23 K:BB through 97 innings across 18 starts. Home runs have been the big issue; after allowing two of them against Cleveland, he's yielded 23 long balls on the year, four off his career-high 27 across 178.2 innings last year. Ober is projected to make his next start at home versus the Royals.

Scherzer (2-1) picked up the win in Saturday's 4-2 victory over the Royals, allowing one run on five hits over six innings. He struck out five without walking a batter.

The 41-year-old right-hander produced his third quality start in his last four trips to the mound on 84 pitches (57 strikes), and Scherzer was shutting out Kansas City until Salvador Perez took him deep in the sixth inning. Scherzer continues to have trouble keeping the ball in the yard -- he's served up nine homers in 41 innings on the season -- but he's doing a better job of late of keeping the bases empty for them, posting a 4.13 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 28:2 K:BB in 24 innings over that four-start stretch. He'll look to get back in the win column in his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road next weekend against the Dodgers.

Cameron (5-5) took the loss Saturday, giving up four runs on six hits and a walk over 6.1 innings as the Royals fell 4-2 to the Blue Jays. He struck out one.

The rookie southpaw only gave up six singles on the afternoon, but three of them were packed into the third inning along with a walk and a hit by pitch, leading to three Toronto runs. Cameron has been up and down over the last month-plus, blanking the opposition in three of his seven starts but also getting tagged for four or more runs in three of them while posting a 3.40 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 38:9 K:BB over 39.2 innings during that stretch. He'll look to bounce back in his next outing, which lines up to come on the road next weekend in Minnesota.

Bibee allowed four runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out five over 4.2 innings in a no-decision Saturday versus the Twins.

Bibee has given up 13 runs (11 earned) over his last three starts, posting a 17:2 K:BB across 16.2 innings in that span. He started well Saturday, but a two-run home run by Matt Wallner in the fourth inning and another rally by the Twins in the fifth ended Bibee's outing early. He threw 64 of 93 pitches for strikes while seeing his three-start winning streak come to a close, and he's now at a 4.51 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 112:35 K:BB through 125.2 innings over 22 starts this season. The right-hander's next start is projected to be a favorable road matchup versus the White Sox.

Sugano came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Cubs, giving up three runs on five hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out five.

The right-hander wasn't dominant, managing only six swinging strikes among his 95 pitches (58 total strikes), and Sugano left the mound in line for his sixth loss until the Orioles offense scored all four of its runs in the eighth inning. Sugano swooned a bit in late June and early July, getting tagged for 13 runs in 9.2 innings across two starts, but in his last four outings he's posted a somewhat more palatable 4.35 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 19:10 K:BB over 20.2 innings. He lines up to make his next start at home next weekend against the Athletics.

Rasmussen (9-5) picked up the win in Saturday's 4-0 victory over the Dodgers, scattering four hits over 5.1 scoreless innings. He struck out six without walking a batter.

Los Angeles didn't even get a runner into scoring position against Rasmussen, who fired 51 of 73 pitches for strikes before being lifted a couple outs shy of his fifth quality start of the season. The right-hander continues to have his workload monitored by the Rays and hasn't tossed at least six innings since June 8, posting a 3.93 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 34:11 K:BB in 36.2 innings over his last nine outings. Saturday's performance suggests the plan is paying dividends, and Rasmussen is scheduled to make his next start on the road next weekend in Seattle.

Woods Richardson will no longer start Sunday's game against the Guardians, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

The Twins will give Woods Richardson a few extra days of rest after the 24-year-old opened the second half of the season with a 7.04 ERA and 2.09 WHIP through 7.2 innings over two starts. Jose Urena will take the mound to begin Sunday's contest instead; meanwhile, Minnesota has yet to announce when Woods Richardson will make his next start.

Manager Alex Cora said Saturday that Houck (elbow) will undergo Tommy John surgery, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

Houck has been on the injured list since May with a right elbow strain, and after suffering a setback during his most recent rehab start July 9, he'll now elect to go under the knife to address the injury. The right-hander will close the book on 2025 with an 8.04 ERA and 1.69 WHIP through 43.2 innings, and because his procedure will happen late in the 2025 season, he likely won't be ready to return to a big-league mound until 2027.
