Williams allowed four hits and two walks while striking out eight across six scoreless innings in the Guardians' 3-2 extra inning win against the Twins on Saturday but did not factor into the decision.

Williams started out hot by striking out four of the first six batters he faced. He managed to get out of a bases-loaded jam in the fourth and kept the Twins off the board in his six innings worked but was unable to come away with the win. Williams has logged a quality start in four of his last five outings and has a 3.33 ERA and 1.35 WHIP across 116.1 innings this season, but the 62 walks he's issued are most in the majors. He's lined up to face the Mets on the road next week.

Gausman (7-8) took the loss against the Royals on Friday, allowing five runs on six hits while striking out five across six innings. He did not issue a walk.

All of the damage to Gausman was done in the second and third frames on home runs by Mike Yastrzemski and Bobby Witt, respectively. Gausman finished his start strongly by retiring 12 of the last 13 batters he faced, but he wasn't able to fade the loss as the Blue Jays' bats fell silent against Michael Wacha. Gausman sports a 3.99 ERA across 128.2 innings this season, and his 1.10 WHIP and 127 strikeouts rank ninth and 12th, respectively, among qualified American League starters. He's lined up to make his next start against the Rockies on the road next week.

Wacha (5-9) earned the win against the Blue Jays on Friday, allowing one run on three hits while striking out five across eight innings. He did not issue a walk.

It was another strong outing for Wacha, who has yielded one earned run in each of his last four starts. He was efficient with his pitches and finished his outing having tossed 100 pitches (71 strikes) while generating 10 whiffs and six groundouts. Wacha's recent string of performances now has him at a 3.38 ERA and 95:35 K:BB across 125.1 innings this season, with his 1.16 WHIP ranking 13th among qualified starters in the American League. He's lined up to make his next start against the Red Sox at Fenway Park next week.

Leiter allowed two runs on three hits and three walks while striking out seven over 4.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Friday.

Leiter had a 12-pitch at-bat against Cole Young that ended in a walk in the fifth inning, getting the Texas right-hander's pitch count up faster than expected. He was charged with one run in that frame when Hoby Milner allowed an inherited runner to score. Leiter had reached the five-inning mark in each of his previous three starts, winning all of them with six runs allowed over 17.1 innings in that span, so this was a step back. He's also walked at least three batters in four straight starts. Leiter now has a 4.10 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 90:48 K:BB through 96.2 innings across 19 starts this season. Kumar Rocker was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Friday, so it looks like Leiter will hold onto his rotation spot after the Rangers acquired Merrill Kelly from the Diamondbacks on Thursday. Leiter is projected to make his next start at home versus the Yankees.

Gilbert allowed three runs on five hits and struck out seven without walking a batter over six innings in a no-decision versus the Rangers on Friday.

This was Gilbert's fifth outing of the year in which he issued zero walks. He had a rough third inning but was otherwise steady, throwing 63 of 88 pitches for strikes in his second quality start over his last three appearances. Gilbert is now at a 3.45 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 112:18 K:BB through 78.1 innings across 15 starts this season. The right-hander is projected for a favorable home start versus the White Sox next week.

Lopez (4-6) allowed five hits and two walks while striking out five over five scoreless innings to earn the win over the Diamondbacks on Friday.

Lopez wasn't efficient -- he needed 95 pitches (63 strikes) to get through his five frames -- but he got the job done against a depleted Arizona lineup. The southpaw had a middling July, posting a 5.30 ERA in 18.2 innings across four starts, though he has tossed 9.1 scoreless frames over his last two outings. For the season, Lopez has a 3.99 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 84:30 K:BB through 70 innings over 17 appearances (13 starts), which could make him a serviceable option in deeper mixed and AL-only formats. He's lined up for a favorable road start versus the Nationals next week.

Abel will stay at Triple-A St. Paul after he was acquired from the Phillies, as the Twins want him to continue to work on tweaking his pitches, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Abel was one of Philadelphia's top prospects and was part of the return for closer Jhoan Duran. The Twins don't appear in a rush to bring him back to the majors, though the team has an opening for the fifth-starter role, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him in the majors again this season. The right-hander made six starts for the Phillies this year in his first taste of the majors and had a 5.04 ERA over 25 innings, but he's been dominant at the Triple-A level with a 2.31 ERA and 9.9 K/9 in 13 starts

Bradley will stay at Triple-A St. Paul after he was acquired from the Rays, as the Twins want him to continue to work on tweaking his pitches, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

The Twins don't have a clear fifth starter at the moment, so it's possible Bradley is called up to start Tuesday at Detroit. However, the Twins so far are saying he'll stay in the minors.

Miller (elbow) made his first rehab start with Triple-A Tacoma on Friday, allowing one hit and no walks in four scoreless innings. He struck out six.

Miller mowed down the opposition Friday, pouring in 42 of his 52 pitches for strikes. The 26-year-old right-hander is working his way back from right elbow inflammation, and he's still likely to need another rehab outing or two before the Mariners feel comfortable activating him from the injured list. Miller posted a 5.73 ERA and 1.54 WHIP over 48.2 innings before going down, so he'll be looking to find his footing in 2025 upon his eventual reinstatement.

Brown did not factor into the decision in Friday's 2-1 extra-inning loss to the Red Sox, allowing one run on four hits and one walk with six strikeouts over seven innings.

Brown opened with six scoreless innings before giving up a run in the seventh, throwing 65 of 97 pitches for strikes while logging his first quality start since July 2. It was a much-needed performance for the 26-year-old, who had allowed 14 earned runs over his previous four outings and hadn't completed five frames in any of his past three. He'll take a 2.47 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 155:39 K:BB across 131 innings into a road matchup with the Marlins next week.
