Bundy allowed five runs on eight hits with one walk and four strikeouts across six innings during a no-decision against the Rangers on Friday.

This start snapped a streak of three straight outings in which Bundy allowed three earned runs or fewer. While he gave up two more homers in this one, Bundy did pitch into the seventh and left with a lead, which the Orioles bullpen coughed up in the loss. He is 6-13 with a 5.06 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 142 strikeouts in 144 innings this season. Bundy will pitch next at home against the Dodgers on Wednesday.

Severino's (lat) rehab outing for Double-A Trenton on Friday will be his final one if all goes well, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

It appeared as though the Yankees were hoping to activate Severino soon, and manager Aaron Boone confirmed as much Friday. Severino will aim for three innings (45-50 pitches), which gives an idea of the workload the Yankees expect him to be able to handle when he first returns.

Chirinos (finger) will throw another bullpen session Sunday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Chirinos threw a 20-pitch bullpen session Thursday, his first since landing on the IL with right middle finger inflammation. He said the finger responded well to the activity. If he makes it through Sunday's bullpen, the next step could be live batting practice. There is no set timetable for his return, but Chirinos appears on track to pitch again before the end of the regular season.

Glasnow (forearm) will be activated to start Sunday's game against the Blue Jays, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports. Glasnow is expected to pitch 2-to-3 innings before turning the game over to the bullpen.

The Rays were thinking about sending Glasnow for one more rehab start with Triple-A Durham, but they will instead activate him for the final game of the homestand. Trevor Richards, who was also a candidate for that start, could follow Glasnow in a piggyback role. Glasnow was on a brilliant run to start the year, posting a 1.86 ERA and 0.91 WHIP in eight starts before going down with the forearm strain.

Kaprielian, who was recently promoted to Triple-A Las Vegas, hit 96 mph with his fastball and was sitting at 94 mph in a late-August start, Melissa Lockard of The Athletic reports.

Already 25 years old, Kaprielian had pitched just 29.1 professional innings prior to this season due to a variety of elbow and shoulder injuries. However, he has been excellent his season despite all the missed time, logging a 3.18 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 75:16 K:BB in 68 innings. He has been even better of late, posting a 1.26 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 29:5 K:BB in 28.2 innings over his last seven starts, including a four-inning outing where he gave up one run and struck out six in his Triple-A debut Sept. 1. He is on the 40-man roster and should figure prominently into the big-league rotation plans for 2020.

Milone will serve as the primary pitcher following an opener Friday, the Associated Press reports.

The veteran southpaw has pitched a total of 62.2 innings in relief this season, generating a 5.03 ERA, .254 BAA and 1.15 WHIP. Milone will be working on normal rest, as he most recently appeared Saturday against the Rangers and threw 81 pitches over five innings.

Glasnow (forearm) threw a side session as planned Thursday, but whether he'll make another rehab appearance for Triple-A Durham or be activated from the injured list has yet to be determined, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Glasnow emerged from a 33-pitch rehab outing Monday without setbacks, and his bullpen session Thursday reportedly went off without a hitch. The right-hander could well be deemed ready to return to the big-league club, but making at least one more appearance with the Bulls is in play as well. Since Glasnow is expected to serve in some type of multi-inning relief capacity upon his return -- as opposed to being deployed as a conventional starter -- his arm is stretched out enough to handle that assignment.

Severino (lat) will throw 45-50 pitches over about three innings in his rehab appearance with Double-A Trenton on Friday, Greg Johnson of The Trentonian reports.

Severino hurled 33 pitches in his first rehab outing with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday, so the increased pitch count suggests that a return to the Yankees is right around the corner. The 25-year-old is expected to pitch in relief when first activated, though he could work his way back into the rotation by the end of September.

Miley did not factor into the decision against Seattle on Thursday, allowing five runs on five hits and one walk without retiring a batter.

Miley had nothing working against the Mariners, allowing five straight hits followed by a walk before mercifully being lifted without retiring a batter. The barrage against him included a pair of doubles and a two-run homer off the bat of Kyle Seager. The 32-year-old entered the outing having gone 7-0 with a 2.78 ERA over his last seven starts; he was fortunate to keep his win streak intact as a result of Houston rallying to an 11-9 victory in extra innings. Despite the disastrous outing, Miley still holds a respectable 3.35 ERA and 1.26 WHIP along with a 13-4 record on the season. He'll face Oakland on Tuesday in his next scheduled start.

Gonzales did not factor into the decision against Houston on Thursday, pitching 5.1 innings and giving up five runs (four earned) on seven hits and five walks without registering a strikeout.

All things considered, Gonzales was fortunate to escape with only four earned runs charged against him. He allowed at least one baserunner in each inning before his departure and threw just 54 of 98 pitches for strikes, leading to a season-high five walks. He also failed to whiff any batters for the first time this season and induced only six swinging strikes. The 27-year-old was handed an early seven-run lead but gave nearly all of it back, departing in the sixth inning after serving up a pair of homers that narrowed Seattle's lead to two. Gonzales now holds a 4.37 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 128:49 K:BB in 175 innings this season. He'll have a home matchup against Cincinnati on Wednesday in his next scheduled start.
