Gausman's scheduled start Wednesday against the Yankees was postponed, Brendan Kuty of NJ.com reports.

He will presumably take the ball Thursday in the make-up game against Sonny Gray, as neither team was slated to play that day. Make sure he is out of daily lineups.

Gray's scheduled start Wednesday against the Orioles was postponed, Brendan Kuty of NJ.com reports.

He will likely take the ball Thursday in the make-up game. This works perfectly, as neither team was scheduled to play Thursday, so it seems both rotations will remain as is.

Miley will start Friday against the Indians, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

He is the only probable the O's are listing for this weekend, which could signal a return to a five-man rotation in Baltimore. Miley has allowed three earned runs or fewer in each of his last seven starts with a 37:19 K:BB in that span (38.2 innings).

Snell allowed six runs on seven hits -- including two homers -- over four innings in a no-decision against the Twins on Wednesday. He struck out seven and did not issue a walk.

The 7:0 K:BB looks good, but Snell was living in the strike zone a bit too much in this one, and Brian Dozier and Ehire Adrianza made him pay with a pair of long balls. He has a respectable 3.92 ERA since the All-Star break even after Wednesday's slip-up, but Snell is still figuring it out at the big-league level and more ups and downs should be expected as he continues along the major-league learning curve. Snell lines up to face the Yankees in his next scheduled start.

Lewicki may be dropped from the Tigers' rotation as he's approaching his innings limit for the season, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

If Lewicki is removed from the rotation, Myles Jaye would likely replace him. In Lewicki's single start for the big club this season, he pitched five innings and gave up five runs on 11 hits and a walk. Additional information regarding the 25-year-old's availability should be available in the near future.

Jaye (1-0) recorded his first MLB win Tuesday against the Royals. He pitched 2.1 scoreless innings, allowing a hit and two walks.

Detroit starter Anibal Sanchez threw only five pitches before taking a comebacker to the right leg, which forced him out of the game. That thrust Jaye into action early, and he responded well. The Tigers supplied him plenty of run support, too, as they scored seven times in the second inning and 13 times total. Jaye has now tossed 5.2 scoreless innings to begin his MLB career.

Verlander (11-8) allowed one run on six hits and a walk while striking out seven over six innings in Houston's 3-1 win over Seattle on Tuesday.

The Mariners put up some long at-bats early against Verlander, running his pitch count to 103 before manager A.J. Hinch shook his hand after six innings. The newest Astro had to be sharp as Seattle's Ariel Miranda didn't allow a hit over six innings. It was reminiscent of an early-season game when Houston was the best team in the majors: a starter keeps the game close until the resilient offense picks him up in the later innings. Verlander and his fantasy owners will appreciate that type of support. With a day off and a doubleheader coming up necessitating some tweaks in the rotation, Verlander's next start is not expected until next Tuesday's series opener in Anaheim.

Mejia (biceps) will shift his minor-league rehab assignment to Double-A Chattanooga.

Mejia allowed just one run in two prior rehab starts (eight innings) for Triple-A Rochester. However, with the minor-league season ending, he'll join the playoff-bound Lookouts as he looks to make one final rehab appearance before rejoining the Twins. Mejia has been sidelined since Aug. 9 with a biceps strain; his return date will hopefully come into focus after his next rehab outing.

Rodriguez struck out eight Blue Jays over six sharp innings Tuesday, but he didn't receive a decision in the eventual 19-inning win.

The young lefty's strong start had already passed into memory by the time this game finally ended 13 innings after he'd departed, but you can be sure that Rodriguez's embattled fantasy owners took notice of his improvement. After all, he'd given up five runs in two straight starts coming in. Walks and homers have remained issues for Rodriguez in his third major-league campaign, as he's failed to evolve much on the mound to this point in his career. However, his strikeout ability and team context keep him in the fantasy conversation.

Stroman (elbow) will throw a side session Wednesday to determine his status for Friday's start against the Tigers, Gregor Chisholm of MLB.com reports.

Stroman exited his last start in the second inning with an elbow contusion, though the 26-year-old remains confident he'll be able to take his next turn in the rotation. He was able to play catch Tuesday with no issues, and if he checks out after Wednesday's side session, he'll be cleared to make his next start on schedule.
