Woo (12-9) allowed one unearned run on three hits and two walks while striking out five over six innings to earn the win over the Athletics on Saturday.

Woo posted his third straight quality start and win, with two of them coming on the road. He was able to limit the damage to a run on a fielder's choice in the third inning and has surrendered just one earned run over his past three starts. Woo's turned the corner late in the season and is now at a 3.88 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 163:35 K:BB through 162.1 innings over 28 starts this year. His next start is projected to be at Colorado, which will provide a test for his recent success.

Jump (6-11) allowed five runs on five hits, a walk and a hit batsman while striking out two over two innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Mariners.

Jump didn't have it from the beginning in this game, throwing 28 of 44 pitches for strikes. He gave up a pair of home runs to account for all five runs on his line in his shortest start of the season. Over his last five games, he's allowed 21 runs across 20.2 innings, though he has a 23:9 K:BB in that span. Overall, he's at a 5.47 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 108:46 K:BB through 98.2 innings over 20 starts. Expect the rookie southpaw to take the mound in Cleveland for his next start, but between performance and workload, he appears to be on a short leash.

Rocker allowed one run on two hits and two walks while striking out five over four-plus innings in a no-decision versus the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

Rocker threw 46 of 65 pitches for strikes in this contest. His pitch count has come down in each of his last three outings, which could be a signal that the Rangers are managing his innings down the stretch. Rocker's performance hasn't been that impressive lately -- he's allowed 25 runs (24 earned) over 36 innings over eight outings since the beginning of August. On the year, he's at a 4.54 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 132:57 K:BB through 138.2 innings over 28 games (25 starts). Rocker is lined up for a home matchup versus the Blue Jays in his next outing.

Castillo allowed three runs on four hits and three walks while striking out two over 2.2 innings of relief in a no-decision versus the Cardinals on Saturday.

Castillo handled the largest workload for the White Sox in this game, but it amounted to a bullpen game in the end. Castillo has allowed at least three runs in each of his last five appearances, giving up 21 runs (20 earned) over 18 innings in that span. He's at a 5.67 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 111:43 K:BB through 128.2 innings over 27 games (23 starts) this season. It's not yet clear if he'll start or work out of the bullpen in his next outing, which is projected to be at home versus the Tigers.

Urena didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 6-5, extra-inning loss to the Nationals, giving up four runs on nine hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out seven.

All the damage off Urena came in the first two innings, but the right-hander settled in after that and was taken off the hook for a loss when the Angels staged a late rally from a 4-0 deficit. It's the first time since Aug. 8 that Urena's been tagged for more than three runs, and over his first 137.1 big-league innings he's produced a 2.88 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 131:67 K:BB. He'll look for his 10th win of the season in his next outing, which is set to come at home next week against the Twins.

Lambert (8-9) took the loss Saturday against the Rays, allowing three runs on six hits and no walks in six-plus innings. He struck out four.

Lambert pounded the zone Saturday, throwing 62 of his 85 pitches for strikes before being chased in the seventh inning following a Liam Hicks double. The right-hander has now posted consecutive quality starts, and he's also given up three runs or fewer in 12 of his last 13 outings. He'll take a 3.71 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 141:56 K:BB over 145.2 innings into his next scheduled appearance against Atlanta.

Prielipp (5-7) earned the win against the Guardians on Saturday, allowing three runs on five hits and no walks with one strikeout over 5.1 innings.

Prielipp benefited from a four-run third inning from the Twins' offense, and he filled the strike zone with 57 of 77 pitches despite generating only five whiffs. The 25-year-old has now yielded three earned runs or fewer in four straight outings, with his two appearances prior to Saturday coming in bulk relief. He owns a 5.24 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 117:40 K:BB across 113.1 frames in his rookie campaign and lines up to face the Angels next weekend, though it's unclear in what role that may be.

Cantillo did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Twins, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out eight over four scoreless innings.

Cantillo entered in the third inning and dominated, throwing 37 of 56 pitches for strikes with 10 whiffs. It marked the first time the 26-year-old pitched in relief all year, and it was also his first scoreless outing since another four-inning effort July 29. He owns a 3.89 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 162:78 K:BB across 148 frames this season and lines up for a home matchup with the Athletics next weekend, should he return to the rotation.

Dobnak (3-4) took the loss against the Red Sox on Saturday, allowing three runs on four hits and no walks with four strikeouts over 5.2 innings.

Dobnak departed in a 1-1 tie with two outs and two men on in the sixth inning, but he was saddled with the loss after both inherited runners came around to score. It ended a streak of three straight games in which the 31-year-old completed six frames, but he's still yielded three earned runs or fewer in 11 of 13 outings this season. He'll take a 2.73 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 47:23 K:BB across 69.1 innings into a road matchup with the Pirates next weekend.

Bradish (7-14) took the loss Saturday, surrendering five runs on eight hits and two walks over three innings as the Orioles fell 7-3 to the Blue Jays. He struck out two.

Home runs by Brett Bateman and Alejandro Kirk in the third inning helped chase Bradish from the mound after just 56 pitches (37 strikes). It's the fifth time in his last nine starts that the right-hander has failed to complete five innings, and over that stretch he's stumbled to a 5.83 ERA, 1.82 WHIP and 32:19 K:BB in 41.2 innings while going 0-5. Bradish will try to rebound in his next outing, which lines up to come at home next weekend against the Brewers.
