Dana is scheduled to start Sunday's game against the Rangers in Arlington.

Dana is likely to stick around with the Angels in September as part of a six-man rotation, and a strong finish to the season would position the 20-year-old to begin the 2025 campaign as a member of the Opening Day rotation. The young righty produced a quality start in his MLB debut this past Sunday, covering six innings en route to claiming a win against Seattle. He struck out four and gave up two earned runs on two hits and four walks.

Marsh is scheduled to start Saturday's game against the Twins in Kansas City.

He'll be making his second straight turn through the rotation as a replacement for Michael Lorenzen (hamstring), who was placed on the injured list Aug. 28. Through 22 appearances (21 starts) for the Royals this season, Marsh has gone 7-8 with a 4.70 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 100:34 K:BB in 111 innings.

Leiter is scheduled to start Saturday's game against the Angels in Arlington.

Though he could end up being squeezed out of the rotation once both Jacob deGrom (elbow) and Max Scherzer (shoulder) return from the injured list, Leiter will retain a starting role for now. The rookie had been pitching well at Triple-A Round Rock since the All-Star break, but he's yet to find much success through his first five big-league outings. He'll carry an 11.78 ERA and 2.13 WHIP into Saturday's start.

Aldegheri is scheduled to start Friday's game against the Rangers in Arlington.

The rookie will receive a second turn through the rotation after he served up seven runs -- but only two earned -- in five innings while taking a loss in his MLB debut this past Friday versus Seattle. Prior to his promotion to the majors, Aldegheri posted pedestrian numbers over his five starts at Double-A Rocket City (5.19 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 25:9 K:BB in 17.1 innings). The 22-year-old southpaw doesn't profile as much more than a streaming option for strikeouts.

Mize did not factor into the decision in a win over the Padres on Thursday, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk over 5.1 innings while striking out two.

Mize got off to a rough start, allowing the leadoff man to reach in each of the first two innings while also surrendering two home runs over that span. However, he would finish strong before being relieved by Kenta Maeda with one out in the sixth. Mize has allowed three runs in each of his first two starts since returning from the injured list, though he's managed to get through at least five frames in each of those outings while posting a combined 6:2 K:BB. He'll look to secure his third win of the season next week when the Tigers host Colorado.

Kochanowicz (2-4) took the loss against the Rangers on Thursday, allowing three runs on eight hits and one walk over six innings. He did not record a strikeout.

Kochanowicz struggled out of the gate, allowing singles to two of the first three batters he faced before surrendering a three-run homer to Adolis Garcia. However, the right-hander did show some poise as he went on to shut out Texas over the next five innings to log his fifth consecutive quality start, despite also taking his fourth loss of the campaign. Kochanowicz failed to record a strikeout for only the second time in seven starts, and he's still yet to surpass the four-strikeout mark in any outing this season.

Bradford (5-2) allowed one run on two hits and two walks over six innings while striking out four in a win over the Angels on Thursday.

Bradford was efficient and only found himself in trouble in the third inning after allowing two of the first three batters to reach base, which would lead to one run coming home for Los Angeles. He would throw three consecutive 1-2-3 innings from that point on before being relieved by Jose Leclerc to open the seventh. It marked the southpaw's fifth straight quality start and his first win in his last five outings. Over that stretch he carries a 2.81 ERA to go along with a 25:6 K:BB.

DeGrom (elbow) will make his next start at Double-A Frisco on Saturday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

The Rangers had floated the idea of having deGrom pitch with the big-league club Saturday, but it has now been confirmed that he'll make one more rehab outing. He has yet to complete more than 2.2 innings with Frisco, so the team will likely look to stretch him out a bit more in his final start before activation.

Kremer (forearm) is listed as the probable pitcher for Friday's game against the Rays, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Kremer took a line drive off of his forearm in his start Saturday against the Rockies. It was originally expected that he would miss a turn through the rotation, but he's since thrown a bullpen session and will now be ready to go to open the Orioles' series against the Rays. Given that it's been only six days since Kremer has pitched, he should be able to handle a normal workload.

Olson (shoulder) allowed one hit and one walk while striking out one across two scoreless innings in a rehab outing with Triple-A Toledo on Thursday.

Olson pitched in his first game since landing on the injured list July 21 and tossed 39 pitches, 24 of which went for strikes. He averaged 94 miles per hour on his fastball -- in line with his norms for the season -- and threw all of his pitches. Olson will still require a couple more rehab outings, but a return from the IL in late September appears realistic.
