Kochanowicz (3-9) allowed eight runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out three over 2.2 innings to take the loss versus the Rangers on Tuesday.

Kochanowicz ran into a little trouble when he allowed two runs in the first inning, and the Rangers put together a more significant rally in the third to knock him from the game. It's a disappointing end to the first half for the right-hander, who had allowed a reasonable 13 runs over 24 innings across his previous five starts. He's at a 6.03 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 65:45 K:BB through 94 innings over 19 starts this season. The Angels have let Kochanowicz do some learning on the job, but after Carson Fulmer threw 5.1 innings on 88 pitches (50 strikes) out of the bullpen, it's fair to wonder who will hold the fifth spot in the rotation coming out of the All-Star break.

Corbin (6-7) allowed two runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out six over five innings to earn the win over the Angels on Thursday.

The Rangers led 9-0 after three innings, though Corbin gave some of the lead back when he allowed a two-run home run to Taylor Ward in the fifth. This was Corbin's second straight win, and he's allowed a modest seven runs over his last 17 innings while posting a 15:4 K:BB in that span. For the season, the southpaw has a 4.15 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 74:27 K:BB across 93.1 innings over 17 starts. He's allowed three runs or fewer in 15 of his outings, and this has been the steadiest he's looked since 2019.

Sears allowed three runs on four hits and struck out six without walking a batter over five innings in a no-decision versus Atlanta on Thursday.

Sears was cruising until the fourth inning, when he allowed all three runs, including a two-run homer to Jurickson Profar. It was the first time Sears has been scored on since June 22 versus the Guardians. The southpaw was denied a third straight win after exiting with the game tied at 3-3, but this was still a decent effort. He's now at a 4.79 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 79:24 K:BB through 97.2 innings over 19 starts this season. He'll likely take the mound versus the Guardians in a road series after the All-Star break.

Cannon's start against the Guardians on Thursday was postponed due to rain.

The teams will have a doubleheader Friday, with the first game set for 3:10 p.m. ET. Cannon should take the ball in one of those contests for his final start before the All-Star break.

Thursday's game between the Guardians and White Sox was postponed due to rain, pushing back Allen's start, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

The teams are set for a doubleheader Friday, with Allen scheduled to take the ball in Game 1 at 3:10 p.m. ET, per Tim Stebbins of MLB.com. Allen has been inconsistent this season, though he's allowed three or fewer earned runs and completed at least five innings in five consecutive outings.

Sugano (7-5) earned the win over the Mets in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader, allowing three runs on four hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out two.

It's an encouraging way to head into the All-Star break for Sugano -- he logged his first quality start since June 3 after struggling to an 8.87 ERA over his previous five starts (22.1 innings). Overall, the 35-year-old right-hander sports a 4.44 ERA with a 1.30 WHIP and 59:22 K:BB through his first 18 starts (99.1 innings) in the majors.

Mahle (shoulder) will resume throwing in one week, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Mahle has already been ruled out past the trade deadline, and his absence could extend into mid-August, depending how quickly he ramps up. He's been sidelined since mid-June, so he'll almost certainly need multiple rehab starts after progressing through bullpen and live batting practice sessions.

Gray (forearm) will make his next rehab start with Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Gray began his rehab assignment Wednesday and threw 32 pitches while completing two innings. It was previously estimated that he would make four rehab appearances, setting Gray up for a potential return in late July.

McDermott was removed from his start with Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday due to right elbow discomfort, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

McDermott was in the midst of a strong start, allowing two runs (one earned) on five hits and one walk while striking out six across 5.1 innings. The seriousness of the injury is unclear, though an arm issue always raises some level of concern. McDermott has allowed at least four earned runs in five of his eight starts since being demoted to Norfolk in late May.

Houck (elbow) struck out six batters and allowed one earned run on three hits and two walks over 4.1 innings during his rehab start Wednesday with Triple-A Worcester.

Making the fifth start of his rehab assignment and his fourth at the Triple-A level, Houck tossed 76 pitches (47 strikes) and induced 12 swings and misses. With the All-Star break on tap and his 30-day rehab window coming to a close next week, Houck's minor-league assignment has come to an end. The right-hander accrued a 5.74 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 15:6 K:BB in 15.2 innings across his five starts in the minors, and the Red Sox will now have to decide if they want to open a spot for him in the rotation or have him work out of the bullpen. Boston could view Houck as an upgrade at the back end of the rotation over Walker Buehler, who has turned in just one quality start over his last nine outings heading into Thursday.
