Lynch (1-3) took the loss Friday, giving up three runs on seven hits and two walks over six innings as the Royals were downed 6-4 by the Blue Jays. He struck out two.

While he was far from dominant, Lynch tossed 63 of 107 pitches for strikes en route to his second straight quality start. The rookie southpaw still has a 6.95 ERA and 1.68 WHIP through his first 22 big-league innings, but he's beginning to flash the potential that makes him one of Kansas City's top pitching prospects.

Sandoval (3-5) took the loss against Oakland on Friday, allowing one run on four hits and six walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out six.

Considering the left-hander's wildness -- Sandoval's six walks were a season high -- he was fortunate to emerge from his outing having allowed only one run. He did a good job of limiting the damage against him by surrendering no extra-base hits and keeping Athletics hitters on their toes with 20 swinging strikes. Sandoval threw a season-high 115 pitches in the outing, and he continues to justify his spot in the Angels' rotation. He'll carry a 3.38 ERA into his next start, which is tentatively lined up to take place at Texas next Thursday.

Bassitt (11-3) earned the win over the Angels on Friday, pitching seven scoreless innings and allowing six hits and one walk while striking out seven.

The right-hander faced little resistance from an Angels offense that managed only one extra-base hit against him. Bassitt threw 63 of 95 pitches for strikes and lowered his ERA to 3.28 with the strong effort. He has tossed exactly seven innings in five of his past seven appearances, though he also has two clunkers in the span. Bassitt's next outing is likely to come at home against Texas next weekend.

Lynn allowed three runs on seven hits and a walk over five innings in Friday's win over Cleveland. He struck out seven and did not factor in the decision.

Most of the damage against Lynn came in the first inning via Franmil Reyes' two-run single. He later coughed up another RBI double to Jose Ramirez in the fifth. He had allowed one or fewer runs in each of his last five outings but he still hasn't taken a loss since June 19. The 34-year-old righty owns a terrific 2.07 ERA and 122:33 K:BB through 19 starts. Lynn is lined up to face the Royals at home next week.

Turnbull underwent Tommy John surgery Thursday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Turnbull suffered a setback in his recovery in early July, and doctors recommended Tommy John surgery after he was diagnosed with a torn UCL. The right-hander should miss most or all of the 2022 season following the procedure, and a better timetable for his return could be revealed once he resumes activities.

Allard (2-9) allowed seven runs (six earned) on six hits and three walks over three innings Friday, striking out three and taking a loss against the Mariners.

Allard coughed up four runs in the second inning, including a pair after an error by Isiah Kiner-Falefa. He then served up a three-run blast to Jarred Kelenic the following inning. The 6-foot-1 lefty has now taken the loss in seven straight starts, allowing 31 earned runs through 35.2 innings (7.82 ERA) during that span. For the year, his ERA jumped up to 5.23 alongside a 70:18 K:BB. Allard is currently projected to face the Angels at home next week.

Gilbert (5-2) allowed four runs on six hits and a walk over 5.2 innings Friday, striking out six and earning a win over the Rangers.

Gilbert worked through three scoreless frames before giving up a run in each of the fourth and fifth innings. He then served up two solo shots to Adolis Garcia and Jonah Heim in the sixth. Prior to Friday's outing, the rookie right-hander had gone 22.2 straight innings without giving up a homer. His ERA is now up to 4.04 alongside a 73:14 K:BB through 62.1 frames. Gilbert is projected to face the Rays on the road next week.

Glasnow (elbow) threw off a mound Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Glasnow's session came while he was in Texas for a follow-up visit regarding his elbow. He's been optimistic for a while now that he'll return before the end of the season, and he's making steady progress, though when exactly he'll make it back is not yet clear.

Detmers will make his major-league debut Sunday against the Athletics.

Detmers advanced to Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday and struck out nine in six scoreless frames during his lone appearance with the club. He'll serve as a starter after Alex Cobb (wrist) was placed on the injured list and Shohei Ohtani (thumb) was pushed back to start Monday, but whether Detmers remains in the big-league rotation could depend on his results Sunday.

Perez (7-7) allowed six runs on seven hits and a walk with three strikeouts in four innings, taking the loss versus Tampa Bay on Friday.

For just the second time in 21 starts, Perez yielded three home runs. The six runs allowed also matched a season high for the 30-year-old. He's now gone four starts without a win, posting an 0-3 record in that span. Perez has a 4.56 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 83:33 K:BB across 98.2 innings this season. He lines up for a favorable road start in Detroit next week.
