Valdez and the Tigers won't face the Orioles on Saturday, as the game was postponed due to rain.

Detroit and Baltimore will play twice Sunday to make up for Saturday's contest, and Valdez will likely get the nod to start one of the two games. The 32-year-old southpaw has conceded 16 runs (13 earned) in 14.2 innings across his last three starts, but he'll have an opportunity to bounce back against an Orioles lineup that's logged a .684 OPS since the beginning of the month.

The Twins reinstated Bradley (pectoral) from the injured list Saturday.

After a near-minimum stay on the injured list, Bradley will return to the active roster and start Saturday's game against Boston. His workload will likely be limited during his first appearance back, however, since he threw just 42 pitches over 1.2 innings during his lone rehab outing at Triple-A St. Paul. Luis Garcia was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Bello is slated to work in bulk relief behind opening pitcher Jovani Moran in Saturday's game against the Twins, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

For the third time in four appearances, Bello will be deployed out of the bullpen behind Moran. Boston handed Bello a traditional start in his last turn through the rotation Sunday in Atlanta, but the right-hander was lit up for seven earned runs on eight hits and three walks over five innings. The Red Sox will thus go back to an arrangement that has yielded strong results, with Bello having posted 1.35 ERA, 0.75 WHIP and 12:2 K:BB in 13.1 innings between his previous two appearances in bulk relief.

Bassitt (4-3) picked up the win Friday against the Tigers, allowing three runs on six hits and no walks with four strikeouts across 4.1 innings.

Bassitt followed lefty opener Keegan Akin for the second time in his last three outings Friday and allowed at least three runs for the third time in four appearances this month. The 37-year-old Bassitt is averaging a career-low 91.3 mph with his fastball this season, while his strikeout rate has plummeted to 15.3 percent from 22.6 percent in the 2025 regular season. He'd been at 22.2 percent or better in each of the previous five campaigns. On the year, Bassitt owns a 5.51 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 34:19 K:BB across 47.1 innings.

Gore (lat) played catch Friday and will be re-evaluated this weekend, MLB.com reports.

All signs are pointing to Gore being ready for his next turn in the rotation scheduled for Sunday against the Angels. After making an early exit in his previous start Monday against the Rockies, Gore underwent an MRI on his lat that came back negative.

Fedde is expected to be used as a bulk reliever behind opening pitcher Bryan Hudson in Saturday's game against the Giants, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Hudson will be deployed as a starter for the third time this season, with one of those appearances coming as an opener in front of Fedde in an April 24 game against the Nationals. The southpaw covered the opening frame in that contest, while the right-handed Fedde followed with 5.2 innings out of the bullpen. Expect Saturday's game to follow a similar path, with the White Sox hoping that the arrangement can help generate a bounce-back performance from Fedde, who was tagged for four runs on six hits and four walks over a season-low three innings in his last start Sunday against the Cubs.

Flaherty (0-6) allowed six runs (three earned) on eight hits across 3.1 innings to take the loss Friday against the Orioles. He didn't walk anyone and struck out seven.

The seven strikeouts were nice, but Flaherty once again struggled overall as he remains winless on the season. The righty has allowed at least three earned runs in five of his last six outings, and he has an ugly 8.37 ERA overall during that stretch. With Tarik Skubal (elbow), Justin Verlander (hip), Reese Olson (shoulder) and Jackson Jobe (elbow) all out with injuries, Detroit doesn't have a ton of other rotation options at the moment, so Flaherty will likely stick as a starter. He'll look to turn things around in his next appearance, which is scheduled for Thursday against the Angels.

Cameron didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Mariners after tossing six scoreless innings, allowing four hits and two walks while striking out eight.

The eight strikeouts were a season-high mark for Cameron, who also snapped a streak of six starts allowing at least three earned runs with this strong outing. The southpaw has three quality starts over his last five outings while posting a 27:10 K:BB in 27.2 innings in that stretch. His next start will be a tough one, however, as he's slated to pitch against the Yankees at home next week.

Gilbert didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Royals, allowing two hits and two walks while striking out six across 5.2 scoreless innings.

Gilbert delivered a big bounce-back performance after allowing seven runs and three homers over 6.2 frames against the Padres in his previous start May 16. Gilbert's been plagued by inconsistency so far this season. Even though he's allowed one or zero runs in three of his last five starts, he's given up 11 runs (and seven homers) in the other two outings during that stretch. All things considered, he's a better pitcher than his 3.68 ERA over those five starts would indicate. He's scheduled to make his next start at home against the A's.

Weathers and the Yankees won't face the Rays on Saturday, as the game was postponed due to rain, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.

The two sides will make up Saturday's contest during a doubleheader Sept. 22, and Weathers is likely to make his next start in Sunday's series finale. He'll be aiming to bounce back after giving up five earned runs to the Blue Jays over 5.1 innings during his last appearance.
