Lynn allowed three hits and two walks while striking out five over six scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Giants.

Lynn has had mixed results since making his season debut June 13, but Friday's start was an impressive one. The right-hander threw 63 of 104 pitches for strikes in a duel with Giants starter Alex Cobb. The White Sox ultimately won 1-0 after scoring in the ninth inning. Lynn has a 4.50 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 22:5 K:BB through 22 innings in his four starts this year. He still has a 1-1 record, which he'll look to improve upon in a projected home start versus the Twins next week.

Kaprielian (1-5) allowed a run on three hits and two walks with four strikeouts in six innings Friday, earning the win over the Mariners.

Kaprielian gave up a run on a groundout in the sixth inning, which accounted for all of the damage on his line. It's been a difficult season for the right-hander -- this was the first time he's completed six innings, and only the second time he's limited an opponent to one run or less. He still has a rough 5.43 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 40:27 K:BB across 58 innings in 12 starts. Kaprielian will look to build off this positive outing next week against the Blue Jays.

Gonzales (4-9) allowed two runs on eight hits and a walk with two strikeouts in six innings, taking the loss Friday versus the Athletics.

Gonzales pitched fairly well in his fourth straight quality start, but the Mariners' bats couldn't give him much help. The southpaw gave up RBI singles in the fifth and sixth innings. This was the second time in eight starts he was able to keep the ball in the yard. Gonzales owns a 3.29 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 49:32 K:BB across 87.2 innings in 16 starts. He's projected for a home start versus the Blue Jays next week.

Kluber (3-5) took the loss Friday against the Blue Jays, giving up five runs on seven hits and two walks in three innings of work while striking out just one.

Kluber faced the minimum through two innings but wound up facing 11 batters in a five-run third inning. Six of the first seven batters in that frame reached base, with five of them doing so via a double. He was replaced by Phoenix Sanders to start the fourth inning. If there's a positive here for Kluber, it's that the poor outing doesn't appear to be part of any sort of trend, as he'd given up a total of four earned runs across his last three starts. He'll try to recapture that level of performance Wednesday in Boston.

Berrios (6-4) picked up the win Friday against the Rays, allowing two runs on eight hits in five innings, striking out three while walking two.

Berrios had allowed 14 runs in 6.2 innings across his previous two starts, so Friday's performance counts as a very encouraging one despite his low strikeout total. He was far from dominant, as he didn't record a single clean inning, but he worked out of enough jams to get the job done. He'll look to take another bite out of his 5.72 ERA in Oakland on Wednesday.

Keller (3-9) allowed five hits and two walk over six scoreless innings Friday, striking out five and earning a win over the Tigers.

Keller sprinkled singles and walks throughout his six innings of work and never faced much of a threat from Detroit's lineup. He hasn't allowed a run in two of his last three starts, but he's still registered a 4.75 ERA since the start of June. On the year, Keller is sporting a 4.24 ERA with a 56:28 K:BB through 15 starts. The 26-year-old is lined up to start in Houston next week.

Manning (biceps) could throw off a mound Saturday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Manning hasn't pitched in a big-league game since mid-April, and a rehab stint was paused in late May due to right biceps tendinitis. He's making his way back from that issue, increasing his throwing distance to 150 feet Friday and potentially throwing off a mound Saturday, though a timeline for his return from the injured list still isn't clear.

Rodriguez (personal) remains without any sort of return timetable, with the Tigers electing to respect his privacy rather than give further information regarding his absence, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Rodriguez was on the verge of returning from a rib injury in mid-June but had to leave the team due to a personal issue, the nature of which still hasn't been specified by the Tigers. Manager A.J. Hinch said Friday that Rodriguez is back at his home in Florida with his children but didn't provide any information on his expected return date.

Civale won't start Friday against the Yankees as previously scheduled, as the game has been postponed due to rain.

The game will be made up as part of a doubleheader Saturday. Civale will likely be tasked with starting one of the two games, though it's not yet clear which one.

Cole won't start Friday against the Guardians, as the game has been postponed due to poor weather.

The game will be made up as part of a doubleheader Saturday. Cole will start the first game of the twin bill, per Marly Rivera of ESPN.com.
