Bundy (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Thursday.

Bundy originally landed on the injured list Aug. 25 with a strain in his right shoulder. Though he has voiced optimism that he would be able to return to the mound this season, that will no longer be possible after moving to the 60-day IL. He'll end the campaign with a 6.06 ERA and 1.36 WHIP in 90.2 frames as both a starter and reliever.

Detmers (COVID-19) was reinstated from the injured list and was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Detmers has been sidelined for nearly a month, though he has been able to toss both bullpen sessions and simulated games. He's set to start for Salt Lake on Monday and could return to the majors shortly after to make a final start. In four appearances at the big-league level, Detmers has compiled a 7.11 ERA and 1.68 WHIP across 19 innings this season.

Odorizzi (foot) will start Sunday's game against the Athletics, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Odorizzi has been on the injured list since Sept. 14 due to right foot soreness, and he'll return to the major-league club after a brief stay on the injured list. Across his last five starts prior to the injury, he recorded a 2.45 ERA and 1.14 WHIP in 22 innings.

Detmers (COVID-19) threw 53 pitches over three innings in a simulated game Wednesday, per MLB.com.

The rookie previously tossed a sim game last Saturday and appears to be on the brink of returning to the active roster. He hasn't pitched in a game in over a month, so he'll likely be limited to a bullpen role for the remainder of the campaign. Detmers could be capped at around 50 pitches upon his return.

Civale (11-5) was charged with the loss during the front end of Thursday's twin bill against the White Sox. He surrendered seven runs on seven hits and a pair of walks while striking out three across 1.2 innings.

After firing six scoreless innings against the Yankees last week, Civale took an immediate hit against the White Sox, starting with a leadoff home run by Tim Anderson. The second inning proved to be disastrous as the right-hander gave up back-to-back homers to Luis Robert and Eloy Jimenez before Tim Anderson came through with his second long ball of the day. It was an unusual clunker for Civale, whose earned seven runs allowed were a season-worst. The 26-year-old has compiled a strong 3.90 ERA and 1.15 WHIP on the year and will look to get back on track during his next projected start Wednesday at Kansas City.

Winn was promoted to Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports.

Winn missed nearly a month in August and early September due to the COVID-19 outbreak at Double-A Frisco, but he returned to action Sept. 4 and tossed eight scoreless innings across his last three appearances. The right-hander will make his first Triple-A start Thursday against Tacoma.

Bassitt (face) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Thursday's start against the Mariners, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Bassitt will return to game action for the first time since he suffered multiple facial fractures when he was hit by a comebacker Aug. 17. The right-hander didn't make any rehab appearances ahead of his activation, so his pitch count will likely be monitored against Seattle on Thursday.

Kopech is starting the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against Cleveland, Scot Gregor of the Chicago Daily Herald reports.

Kopech has had several multi-inning appearances recently, and he'll make his fourth start of the year in Thursday's nightcap. The right-hander has recorded a 1.29 ERA and 0.86 WHIP in seven innings across his last five appearances.

Dunning is listed as the Rangers' probable starting pitcher for Sunday's game in Baltimore.

While making his first start since Aug. 20 earlier this week against the Yankees, Dunning was limited to 2.2 innings and 57 pitches, with Kolby Allard working behind him as a primary pitcher. Dunning should have a looser restriction with his pitch count Sunday, but the Rangers could still elect to keep him in a tandem with Allard. If that arrangement holds, Allard would probably be more likely than Dunning to factor into any decision.

Irvin (10-14) pitched five innings and allowed three runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out five to take the loss against Seattle on Wednesday.

Irvin kept the Mariners off the scoreboard for three innings, but he surrendered a pair of runs in the fourth and another in the fifth while receiving only one run of support from his offense. The southpaw gave up two long balls in the contest and has now surrendered eight homers over his past 25 innings. He has been relatively effective this season, placing ninth among qualified American League pitchers with a 3.99 ERA, but he has also lost an AL-high 14 games. Irvin will try to get back in the win column in his next start, which is tentatively slated to be a rematch against Seattle on Monday.
