Triple-A Salt Lake placed Silseth (elbow) on its 7-day injured list Wednesday.

After being reinstated from the Angels' 60-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A on June 25 following a prolonged absence due to right elbow inflammation, Silseth turned in a 3.38 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 7:7 K:BB over 16 innings across four outings with Salt Lake before succumbing to another setback with the elbow. The Angels had labeled Silseth's injury as discomfort coming out of his most recent start for Salt Lake on July 28, but a formal diagnosis for his injury hasn't been provided. In any case, Silseth doesn't look like he'll be back pitching for Salt Lake anytime soon, which will hurt his chances of building a case for a return to the big leagues.

Burnes (12-4) picked up the win Sunday against Cleveland, allowing five runs (four earned) on seven hits and a walk across five innings. He struck out four.

Burnes didn't pitch into the sixth inning for the first time since April 2 and set his season high in runs allowed at five. Still, the Orioles put up nine runs, leaving the 29-year-old with his third win in four starts. Burnes surrendered a three-run homer to Josh Naylor in the fifth inning, marking his eighth long ball allowed in as many starts. Burnes is tied for the fourth-most wins in baseball while recording a 2.63 ERA across 143.2 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Rays in Tampa Bay on Saturday.

Williams (1-4) took the loss Sunday against Baltimore, allowing six runs on eight hits and two walks across four innings. he struck out eight.

Williams punched out eight or more batters for a third consecutive start but yielded his most runs in an appearance this season. The 24-year-old entered Sunday having allowed one home run in 26.0 big-league innings. However, he was tagged for a pair of home runs in the fourth inning, ending his day at 86 pitches. The right-hander has a 4.91 ERA with a 39:13 K:BB across 33 innings this season. He's on track to pitch during a four-game set against the Twins next weekend.

Canning (4-10) allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits and four walks while striking out eight over five innings, earning the win over the Mets on Sunday.

Canning's control was lacking as he threw just 54 of 97 pitches for strikes, but he did a decent job of preventing runs. Harrison Bader and Francisco Lindor each had RBI singles in the contest. It's been up and down results for Canning recently -- this was just the fourth time in 10 starts he's allowed less than four runs, and it was his first win since June 24. The right-hander still has an ugly 5.10 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 93:47 K:BB over 121.2 innings across 23 starts this season. He could match his career high for innings pitched (127) in his next start, which is tentatively projected to be a road outing versus the Nationals.

Eovaldi (8-5) allowed five runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out seven over five-plus innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Red Sox.

Eovaldi landed 66 of 99 pitches for strikes, but he gave up solo home runs to Wilyer Abreu and Jarren Duran. He ran into more trouble in the sixth inning, and Walter Pennington allowed two inherited runners to score, giving Eovaldi a mediocre outing. The right-handed starter has allowed 16 runs over 23 innings across his last four starts, a span that has also seen him yield seven homers. For the year, he's posted a 3.62 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 113:27 K:BB across 117 innings over 20 starts. He's given up 17 long balls this year after surrendering just 15 over 144 innings in 2023, so it's something to monitor going forward. Eovaldi's next outing is projected to be a challenging one on the road versus the Yankees.

Pivetta allowed two runs on two hits and a walk while striking out five over 4.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Rangers on Sunday.

Pivetta wasn't all that sharp, throwing 44 of 70 pitches for strikes in this short outing. It was the second time in his last three starts that he's failed to complete five frames. He's also allowed multiple home runs, including solo shots by Corey Seager and Josh Jung in Sunday's contest, in each of his last three outings. For the season, Pivetta has a 4.44 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 117:23 K:BB through 95.1 innings over 18 starts. His next outing is projected to be at home versus the Astros.

Maeda covered 3.2 innings out of the bullpen in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Royals in 11 innings. He gave up three earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out four.

Maeda has now made each of his last four appearances out of the bullpen, submitting a 4.40 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 14:1 K:BB in 14.1 innings during that stretch. The Tigers shifted the veteran right-hander to a relief role after he struggled to a 7.26 ERA through 15 starts, but manager A.J. Hinch suggested Friday that Maeda will eventually rejoin the rotation, per Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press. Maeda is essentially stretched out for a starter's workload at this point; he tossed 69 pitches behind opening pitcher Tyler Holton in Saturday's contest.

Wacha did not factor into the decision after allowing two runs on seven hits and four walks over six innings against the Tigers on Sunday. He struck out two batters in the win.

Wacha struggled with his command and threw only 58 of 99 pitches for strikes. The four walks were the second most he's issued in a start this season behind only his May 9 outing against the Angels. Since the beginning of July, Wacha has produced four quality starts in six outings, going 4-0 with a 2.78 ERA in the process. For the year, his ERA sits at 3.55 with a 93:35 K:BB through 20 starts. Wacha's next outing is projected to be at home against the Cardinals.

Arrighetti (4-10) allowed a run on five hits and two walks over six innings Sunday, striking out 12 and taking a loss against the Rays.

Arrighetti gave up a run in the third inning, and it ended up as the only run either team would score. He fired 67 of 100 pitches for strikes and forced a career-high 20 whiffs. He's 0-4 over his last six starts despite producing three quality starts during that span. Arrighetti's last win was June 26 against the Rockies. For the season, the right-handed rookie owns a 5.33 ERA with a 116:49 K:BB through 98 innings. Arrighetti's next start is currently lined up to be in Boston.

Triple-A Las Vegas placed Salinas on its full-season injured list after he underwent surgery on his right shoulder July 24, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Salinas hadn't pitched since May 30 before landing on Las Vegas' 7-day IL with the shoulder injury. He presumably tried the rest-and-rehab route to treat the injury, but after making limited progress over the ensuing two months, he ended up being sent in for surgery. Salinas will miss the rest of the season, and his availability for the 2025 campaign could be in jeopardy as well.
