Arrighetti (7-12) took the loss Wednesday against Cincinnati, allowing nine runs on six hits and three walks over two-thirds of an inning. He struck out one.

After pitching to a 1.95 ERA with 47 strikeouts across five starts (32.1 innings) in August, Arrighetti got off to a brutal start in September, allowing a season-high nine runs while failing to make it out of the first inning. The rookie right-hander's ERA shot up to 5.26 with a 1.44 WHIP and 151:60 K:BB through 125 innings this season. Arrighetti will look to put Wednesday's effort behind him in his next outing, currently scheduled for next week at home against the A's.

Suarez (7-5) took the loss Wednesday against the White Sox, allowing six runs on eight hits and two walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out two.

It was a tough night for Suarez in what looked to be an enticing matchup against the White Sox. The right-hander allowed a season-high three homers, including a pair in the fourth inning. The 34-year-old Suarez had been cruising coming into Wednesday's start, allowing just four runs over 30.1 innings in his last five outings. His ERA now sits at 3.49 on the season with a 1.31 WHIP and 87:37 K:BB across 113.1 innings. Suarez will look to bounce back in his next start, currently scheduled for next week on the road in Boston.

Cannon (3-9) earned the win Wednesday over the Orioles, allowing one run on five hits and a walk over 5.2 innings. He struck out four.

Cannon's night got off to a rocky start after he allowed a homer to Gunnar Henderson to lead off the bottom of the first inning. However, the right-hander would keep Baltimore off the board for the remainder of his outing, allowing just four more hits en route to his first win since Aug. 6. The 24-year-old Cannon had struggled to a 7.78 ERA in four starts (19.2 innings) coming into Wednesday. His ERA now sits at 4.53 with a 1.39 WHIP and 70:33 K:BB across 101.1 innings in his rookie campaign. Cannon's currently lined up for a home matchup with the Guardians in his next outing.

The Rangers transferred Gray (foot) to the 60-day injured list Wednesday.

Gray was ruled out for the season after he landed on the injured list Tuesday due to neuroma in his foot, and moving to the 60-day IL will officially put an early end to his year. Sandro Fabian was selected from Triple-A Round Rock to take Gray's place on the 28-man and 40-man rosters.

The Athletics optioned Boyle to Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday.

Boyle has struggled since rejoining the big-league squad in mid-August, allowing 12 earned runs across 15.1 innings. He moved to the bullpen for his most recent outing, though it's unclear if he'll shift back into a starting role upon returning to Las Vegas. His roster spot will be given to Scott Alexander (shoulder), who returned from the injured list Wednesday.

Kremer (forearm) threw a bullpen session Tuesday, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Kremer has progressed more quickly than expected after exiting his last start over the weekend after a liner hit his right forearm. Orioles manager Brandon Hyde previously indicated it was unlikely that Kremer would be ready for his next turn Friday versus the Rays, but it appears it hasn't been ruled out. The club will see how Kremer feels Thursday before making a determination.

Rodriguez (lat) threw a bullpen session at Camden Yards on Wednesday, Baltimore Banner Sports reports.

The right-hander got back on the mound for the first time since he was diagnosed with a strained lat nearly a month ago. Rodriguez will need to face hitters at least once before being cleared for a rehab start, but that should come soon. The 24-year-old is probably still at least a couple weeks away from a return from the 15-day injured list, however.

The Twins recalled Varland from Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday.

Ronny Henriquez will draw the starting assignment for the Twins in Wednesday's game at Tampa Bay, but he's expected to work an inning or two before giving way to Varland, who will likely be deployed in bulk relief, per Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press. A decent showing Wednesday could be enough for Varland to stick around with the Twins as part of a six-man rotation. The Twins have just two days off over the final 26 days of the regular season, so the addition of Varland would help provide extra rest for the team's other starters heading into the playoffs.

Harris (3-3) got the win against the Mariners on Tuesday, firing three scoreless innings during which he allowed two walks and recorded three strikeouts.

Harris took over following a quality start from rookie J.T. Ginn and put together a highly efficient long-relief effort, requiring only 37 pitches to record nine outs. The left-hander helped keep the Mariners at bay and then reaped the rewards when Seth Brown hit a walk-off single, affording Harris the first victory of his current big-league stint. Harris is likely to continue being used in a relief role down the stretch, although multi-inning outings will likely be the norm given he's capable of tolerating the elevated workloads.

Crawford (8-13) took the loss Tuesday, giving up two runs on one hit and two walks over six innings as the Red Sox were downed 7-2 by the Mets. He struck out eight.

The right-hander made only one real mistake, but Francisco Lindor drove it deep to right field for a two-run homer in the third inning, and Boston never recovered. Crawford has lost four straight trips to the mound, but the fault lies mainly with the Red Sox offense -- he's posted a 3.52 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 18:7 K:BB in 23 innings over that stretch. Tuesday's quality start was his second straight and 13th of the year. Crawford will try to get back in the win column in his next outing, which lines up to come at home early next week against the Orioles.
