Lopez (shoulder) is scheduled to throw two innings of live batting practice Friday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Lopez has been on the shelf since June 5 due to a Grade 2 teres major strain, with estimates for his recovery at the time he suffered the injury ranging from 8-to-12 weeks. Though the right-hander has reached a major milestone in his recovery by facing hitters, Lopez will likely require an extended rehab assignment before making his return from the 60-day injured list. Prior to being shut down with the injury, Lopez went 5-3 with a 2.82 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 61:14 K:BB across 60.2 innings.

Scherzer (3-2) earned the win Thursday over the Cubs, allowing one run on five hits and a walk across seven innings. He struck out three.

Scherzer was excellent Thursday, blanking Chicago for five innings before allowing a lone run on a Michael Busch homer in the sixth. The 41-year-old right-hander has pitched to a 2.42 ERA over his last four starts (26 innings), lowering his ERA to 3.83 on the year with a 1.07 WHIP and 52 strikeouts across 10 starts (54 innings). Scherzer will look to keep rolling in his next outing, currently scheduled for next week in Pittsburgh.

Means (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Lake County on Friday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

It will be the hurler's first official game action since he underwent a second Tommy John surgery last June. Means is scheduled to throw three innings for Lake County and will continue to build up his stamina before joining the Guardians' rotation, likely in September.

Miller (elbow) made his third rehab start for Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday, allowing two runs on two hits and one walk in 5.2 innings. He struck out four.

Miller threw 76 pitches, 51 for strikes, in what was possibly his final rehab outing before re-entering Seattle's rotation. The right-hander has been on the injured list for over two months due to right elbow inflammation, and his eventual return is likely to push Logan Evans back to the minor leagues. If Miller's next start comes with Mariners, his return would likely be set for Tuesday in a tough spot in Philadelphia against the first-place Phillies.

Bohorquez, who was promoted to High-A Cedar Rapids on Aug. 4, has a 1.76 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 31:5 K:BB in 30.2 innings across his last seven starts.

Bohorquez issued 17 walks in his first 20 innings this season at Single-A Fort Myers, but something has clicked lately for the 20-year-old righty. A sturdy 6-foot-1, 190 pounds, Bohorquez has a plus curveball and his fastball has been up to 97 mph in recent starts, although his third-pitch cutter lags behind as a fringe-average offering.

Manoah (elbow) struck out one batter over 1.2 innings and 49 pitches in his rehab start Wednesday for Triple-A Buffalo while allowing three earned runs on two hits, three walks and a hit batsman.

Making his fourth rehab start with his fourth different affiliate, Manoah displayed wayward control, which has been a recurring theme since he kicked off his minor-league assignment July 14. He now holds an 11.57 ERA, 2.71 WHIP and 6:8 K:BB across seven innings through four starts, showing little resemblance to the pitcher who earned an All-Star nod in 2022. Manoah's 30-day rehab window has come to a close, though as Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca notes, the Blue Jays will have the ability to extend his assignment in 10-day increments until his rehab reaches 60 days. The 27-year-old still has two minor-league options remaining, and given the poor form he's displayed thus far on his rehab assignment, he'll likely stay with Buffalo once Toronto formally activates him from the 60-day injured list.

Anderson (back) is slated to start Saturday's game against the Athletics in Sacramento.

Anderson was initially lined up to make his 24th start of the season during Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Dodgers, but he was scratched ahead of the contest due to back stiffness, which has been a recurring issue for the southpaw throughout the season, according to MLB.com. A few extra days of rest was apparently all Anderson needed to at least temporarily move past the back issue, and he's not expected to face any major restrictions when he takes the hill Saturday.

Ginn (2-5) took the loss against Tampa Bay on Wednesday, allowing six runs (five earned) on six hits and one walk while striking out three batters over two innings.

Ginn was ambushed early Wednesday, giving up four runs on four hits in the first inning alone. The lefty surrendered another pair of runs on a Brandon Lowe blast in the second and didn't take the mound in the third frame. The six runs allowed were a season high for Ginn, while the six hits he gave up tied a season-worst mark. Since moving back into the Athletics' rotation July 22, Ginn has struggled to a 5.24 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 20:9 K:BB over 22.1 innings spanning five starts. He's lined up to face Minnesota on the road in his next start.

Rasmussen (10-5) earned the win over the Athletics on Wednesday, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits and no walks while striking out five batters over six innings.

The only earned run Rasmussen allowed came on a Lawrence Butler solo shot in the third inning. The righty hurler was otherwise sharp and efficient, throwing 58 of 76 pitches for strikes en route to his second straight quality start. Pushing that out further, Rasmussen hasn't given up more than two earned runs in any of his past seven starts, posting a 2.08 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 28:4 K:BB across 30.1 frames during that span. He's one of just 14 MLB pitchers to reach double-digit wins on the campaign so far.

Hendricks allowed five runs on six hits and three walks while striking out four batters over 3.1 innings in a no-decision against the Dodgers on Wednesday.

Hendricks fell behind quickly, giving up a leadoff triple to Shohei Ohtani followed by a run-scoring single by Mookie Betts. Two batters later, Will Smith got to the veteran righty for a two-run homer, setting the tone for the hurler's poor night. Hendricks did manage to rebound with a scoreless second and third frame, but he was pulled with one out in the fourth after loading the bases on two walks and an infield single, and two of the three baserunners he turned over to the bullpen came around to score. This was Hendricks' second-shortest outing of the season, trailing just his seven-run, three-inning performance against Minnesota in late April. Though he's managed to hang onto a spot in the Angels' rotation, Hendricks has submitted a poor 4.87 ERA and 1.27 WHIP through 23 starts spanning 120 innings on the campaign.
