Cannon (3-10) took the loss Tuesday, allowing three runs on seven hits and one walk over 5.1 innings against Cleveland. He struck out four.

Cannon picked up his fifth loss out of his last six starts with this 91-pitch appearance. The 24-year-old rookie fared well through the first five innings, scattering six hits that produced one run, before unraveling in the sixth. He left two runners on via a walk and single that were promptly driven home when reliever Gus Varland yielded a homer to his first batter faced, Lane Thomas. Cannon has now failed to reach five strikeouts in six consecutive starts, during which he's struggled to a 6.16 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 23:14 K:BB across 30.2 innings. He is projected to make his next outing against the Angels in Los Angeles next week.

Suarez (8-5) earned the win Tuesday at Boston, allowing one run on four hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out eight.

After a poor six-run outing in his last start against the White Sox on Sept. 4, the 34-year-old stymied the Red Sox, generating an incredible 21 whiffs en route to his eight Ks. Despite having three of the four hits he allowed go for doubles, Suarez managed to collect his sixth quality start, marking his fourth in his last six starts. Overall, the veteran right-hander has now pitched to a 3.39 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 95:39 K:BB across 119.1 innings this season. He is line to make his next appearance against the Giants at home next week.

Crawford (8-14) took the loss Tuesday against Baltimore, allowing three runs on seven hits and one walk over 6.1 innings. He struck out six.

Despite earning his third consecutive quality start, Crawford was saddled with his fifth consecutive loss in this 89-pitch appearance. Once again, the long ball haunted the Boston right-hander, as he allowed two homers in this game, bringing his MLB-worst total to 31 on the season. Even though he has gone 0-5 over his last five outings, Crawford has pitched to a 3.68 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 24:8 K:BB across 29.1 innings during that stretch. He is currently slated to make his next start against the Yankees on the road this weekend.

Bradley didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Phillies, allowing four runs (three earned) on six hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out six.

Three of the Phillies four runs off Bradley came via the long ball, a Kyle Schwarber solo shot in the first inning before Trea Turner added a two-run homer in the third. The 23-year-old Bradley has now gone eight straight starts without a win, struggling to an 8.27 ERA in that span, though he's shown some improvement recently, logging 16 strikeouts over 13 innings in his last two outings. Bradley is 6-10 on the season with a 4.40 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 137:41 K:BB across 122.2. innings. He's currently in line to face the Guardians on the road this weekend in his next start.

Scherzer (shoulder) will start Saturday's game against the Mariners, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Scherzer appeared in a rehab game with Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday, during which he threw four shutout innings while striking out eight batters and walking one. Following his elite performance, the 40-year-old righty is now slated to make his first start in the majors since July 30, and he'll have the luxury of being welcomed back by a Mariners offense that ranks 25th in MLB with a .675 OPS on the season.

Montero (5-6) earned the win Tuesday over the Rockies, allowing three hits and no walks in a complete-game shutout. He struck out five.

It was a stellar performance from the 24-year-old Montero, who needed just 96 pitches to record all 27 outs. He allowed just three hits, all singles, while inducing three double-play balls. Montero's performance is especially impressive considering his struggles of late -- the right-hander had posted a 5.81 ERA in his previous 10 starts. Overall, Montero sports a 4.88 ERA with a 1.28 WHIP and 65:26 K:BB across 83 innings in his rookie campaign. He'll look to build on Tuesday's outing in his next start, tentatively scheduled for this weekend at home versus the Orioles.

DeGrom (elbow) will start Friday's game against the Mariners, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

DeGrom has been on the injured list all season while working his way back from a Tommy John procedure he underwent last June. Now that he's made four rehab appearances in the minors, during which he allowed just one earned run across 10.2 innings while striking out 15 batters, he's been given the green light to make his season debut and help out the Rangers' rotation for the final several weeks of the season. Although the four-time All-Star hasn't pitched since April 2023, his minor-league performance and favorable matchup against a weak Mariners offense suggest that he'll pick up right where he left off during his first start back in the majors.

Lively was removed from his start Tuesday versus the White Sox after getting hit in the leg by a comebacker, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Lively needed to be helped off the field after taking a 96-mph line drive off his right thigh in the second inning, but he managed to escape the incident with nothing more than a bruise. The Guardians will likely keep an eye on him over the next few days, but there's a good chance the 32-year-old righty will make his next start -- tentatively scheduled to come against the Twins on Monday. Lively pitched two shutout innings while striking out two batters and walking none before his removal Tuesday.

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Olson (shoulder) will rejoin the major-league club to be evaluated after a successful rehab start Tuesday with Triple-A Toledo, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

The right-hander threw 45 pitches across three scoreless innings Tuesday, which is only a minor increase from the 39 pitches and two innings he tossed during his first rehab outing Sept. 5. Hinch mentioned the possibility of a third rehab start, but the next steps in Olson's rehab won't be determined until he's checked out back with the big club.

Castillo was placed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday due to a Grade 2 left hamstring strain, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

The right-hander already received a platelet-rich-plasma injection and hopes to be available after spending the 15-day minimum on the shelf. Even in a best-case scenario, Castillo will only be able to rejoin the Mariners for one or maybe two starts before the end of the regular season. Seattle is currently three games back of the final AL wild-card spot and is tied with two other teams, and the playoff positioning could affect how quickly the organization elects to bring Castillo back.
