Farris (1-2) was charged with the loss Friday against the Rockies, allowing seven runs (six earned) on eight hits and two walks in 4.1 innings. He struck out five.

It was the rookie southpaw's worst performance in the major leagues so far, as he surrendered a season-high eight hits and seven runs. However, it was encouraging to see Farris generate 14 whiffs on the evening, and he also threw a season-high 90 pitches. He'll take a rough 6.52 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 19:9 K:BB across four starts into his final scheduled appearance of 2025 against the Royals.

Brown (12-8) was charged with the loss Friday against the Mariners, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out nine.

That makes it seven consecutive starts of at least six innings for the All-Star right-hander, who piled up his most punchouts since his June 26 start against the Phillies. Each of those last seven outings have been quality starts, and Brown hasn't conceded more than two runs since July 20 in Seattle. Brown's last appearance of the regular season tentatively projects to come against the division-rival Athletics in Sacramento. Through 180.1 innings, Brown has a 2.30 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 201:55 K:BB for the first 200-strikeout season of his career.

Messick didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Twins, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk in 5.1 innings. He struck out nine.

Messick appeared to be on his way to notching the win, but the Twins were able to scratch across a pair of runs in the sixth inning to tie the game. It was still a very promising showing by the rookie southpaw, who racked up a season-high nine strikeouts and produced an impressive 18 whiffs. Messick has shown plenty of potential overall since being called up by Cleveland, turning in a 2.08 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 31:5 K:BB over 34.2 innings. His last outing of the regular season is set to come against the division-rival Tigers.

Mahle pitched 4.2 scoreless innings with six strikeouts and took a no-decision in Friday's extra-innings loss to the Marlins. He allowed four hits and one walk.

The Texas right-hander returned from a shoulder injury that had kept him out since mid-June. Mahle showed up with his swing-and-miss stuff, as he generated an impressive 12 whiffs out of his 68 total pitches to notch six or more Ks for the third time this season. Overall, the free-agent-to-be has produced a 2.20 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 62:28 K:BB in 81.2 innings across 15 appearances. Mahle currently projects to make his next start against one of his former clubs, the Twins, at home next week.

Woo was pulled from his start Friday against Houston due to pectoral tightness, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.

Woo pitched five scoreless innings, allowing just one hit and one walk while striking out seven batters before his pec forced him to come out of the game while he was warming up for the sixth. He's expected to undergo an MRI on Saturday to determine the severity of his injury, at which point more will be known about his chances to make his next start -- tentatively scheduled to come Thursday against the Rockies.

Manager John Schneider said Friday that Berrios will be used out of the bullpen going forward, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

The arrival of Trey Yesavage on Monday left the Blue Jays with six arms in their rotation, so the team will clear the logjam by shifting Berrios to a long-relief role. The 31-year-old right-hander owns a 4.06 ERA and 1.29 WHIP alongside a 135:54 K:BB through 164 innings on the year, and he could make his first relief appearance of the season soon, considering he hasn't pitched since Tuesday.

Lorenzen (6-11) earned the win in Friday's 20-1 rout of the Blue Jays, allowing one run on three hits and three walks over 7.2 innings. He struck out four.

After conceding a solo homer to George Springer in the first, Lorenzen was able to settle in because his offense provided seven runs of support in the bottom of the inning. The veteran righty fired 113 total pitches in this outing, 71 of them being strikes, and took home his ninth quality start of the season. Through 136 total frames, Lorenzen has pitched to a 4.70 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 118:39 K:BB. The 33-year-old currently projects to make his next start on the road against the Angels.

Rasmussen did not factor into the decision in Friday's 11-7 loss to the Red Sox, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk with two strikeouts over three innings.

Rasmussen needed 76 pitches to get through just three innings, generating only four whiffs in his shortest outing since the All-Star break. After closing August with four straight quality starts, the 30-year-old has failed to complete more than five frames in any of his four September outings. He owns a 2.80 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 124:35 K:BB across 147.2 innings this season and will aim to finish strong in a road matchup with the Orioles next week.

Crochet (17-5) earned the win against the Rays on Friday, allowing three runs on four hits and three walks with nine strikeouts over six innings.

Crochet threw just 56 of 98 pitches for strikes and gave up a run in each of his first three innings before settling in to finish with three scoreless frames. The 26-year-old has bounced back from a seven-run blowup Sept. 2 with three straight quality starts and leads the majors with 197.1 innings across 31 outings this season. For the season, he owns a 2.69 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 249:46 K:BB, and he'll try to reach the 200-inning mark for the first time in a road matchup with the Blue Jays next week.

Scherzer (5-4) coughed up seven runs on seven hits and one walk over two-thirds of an inning to take the loss Friday at Kansas City. He struck out two.

The future Hall of Famer posted the second-shortest start of his 18-year career, with the briefest being a one-out appearance June 11, 2021 he left with injury. Despite generating a respectable eight whiffs out of his 45 total pitches, Scherzer was pounded by the Royals, as five of the seven hits he allowed went for extra bases. Overall, the 41-year-old now sports a 5.06 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 77:23 K:BB while giving up 18 long balls in 80 total frames. Scherzer will look to bounce back in his next outing, currently slated to come at home against the Rays next weekend.
