Civale (3-9) took the loss Wednesday against the Royals, allowing five runs on five hits and one walk in 4.2 innings. He struck out four.

Civale has now yielded at least four runs in three of his last four outings, which comes on the heels of a three-start streak with no earned runs allowed. Through 67 innings overall since landing with the White Sox, the 33-year-old right-hander has a shaky 5.37 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 55:26 K:BB over 67 frames. Civale is next set to toe the rubber against the division-rival Twins, who have a weak .693 OPS since the beginning of August.

Bergert (2-1) notched the win Wednesday against the White Sox, allowing one run on six hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out three.

Bergert continues to be an effective starter with the Royals, having now pitched at least five innings while conceding two runs or fewer in five consecutive starts for his new team. The rookie right-hander also fired a season-high six frames Wednesday. With Cole Ragans (shoulder) yet to go on a rehab assignment, Bergert should be locked in for at least another handful of turns in Kansas City's rotation. He holds a promising 2.67 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 59:26 K:BB across 64 innings in 2025, and Bergert is tentatively scheduled to face the Angels early next week.

Kochanowicz (3-11) took the loss Wednesday against Texas, allowing 11 runs (10 earned) on nine hits and three walks with one strikeout across 3.1 innings.

Kochanowicz had the worst start of his young career, giving up a career-worst three home runs in just 3.1 innings. The three long balls accounted for eight of the 11 runs Kochanowicz yielded, with Adolis Garcia and Joc Pederson swatting three-run homers and Corey Seager hitting a two-run shot. Kochanowicz hadn't allowed more than eight runs in an appearance at any level since starting his professional career in 2021. There is an opportunity for Kochanowicz to make another trip through the Angels' rotation while Victor Mederos is on the shelf, though the organization could look elsewhere after Wednesday's shelling further inflated his ERA to 6.81. Kochanowicz will likely face the Royals in Kansas City if he remains in the rotation.

Valdez (12-7) picked up the win Wednesday against Colorado, allowing three hits and two walks with five strikeouts over seven scoreless innings.

Valdez was in dire need of a get-right start, having surrendered 21 runs (19 earned) with a 12:10 K:BB across his past four starts (23.1 innings), and he responded with one of his best performances of the season. Wednesday's outing marked his first shutout start since June 29 and ended a run of five straight winless outings. The 31-year-old left-hander will look to carry some momentum into his next start, which is slated to come against the Yankees next week.

Woods Richardson did not factor into the decision Wednesday against the Blue Jays, allowing five runs on five hits and two walks across 3.2 innings. He struck out two.

After missing some time due to a parasite in his digestive tract, it was a tough outing for Woods Richardson in his first appearance since July 28. The right-hander gave up a season-high three home runs, including two off the bat of Davis Schneider. Overall, Woods Richardson sports a 4.59 ERA with a 1.42 WHIP and 71:37 K:BB across 84.1 innings this season. He'll look to bounce back in his next start, tentatively scheduled for next week at home against the White Sox.

Festa (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Shoulder inflammation has kept Festa out of commission since late July, but after throwing live BP on Saturday without any issues, he's been given the green light to return to game action. Given the duration of his absence, there's a good chance the 25-year-old will require multiple rehab starts before returning from the IL, though he should still be able to make it back before the end of the regular season.

Bello allowed two runs (one earned) on five hits and a walk across 6.2 innings in a no-decision Wednesday against the Orioles. He struck out six.

It was another impressive performance from Bello, who's pitched to a 2.09 ERA over his last six starts (38.2 innings). The 26-year-old right-hander's lowered his ERA to 2.99 on the season with a 1.21 WHIP and 108:47 K:BB across 141.2 innings. Bello will look to keep rolling in his next outing, tentatively lined up for next week at home against the Guardians.

Urquidy (elbow) struck out one batter and allowed two earned runs on two hits and one walk over two innings in his most recent rehab appearance for Triple-A Toledo on Sunday.

Urquidy is expected to get the chance to compete for a rotation spot next spring if Detroit exercises his $4 million team option for 2026, but if the right-hander makes it back from the 60-day injured list this season, he'll be joining the Tigers in a relief role. Since beginning his rehab assignment Aug. 3, Urquidy -- who is working his way back from June 2024 Tommy John surgery -- has been limited to one- or two-inning appearances between stops with Toledo and Single-A Lakeland, and Sunday marked the first time that he had worked out of the bullpen. Urquidy's 30-day rehab window will come to an end next week, though the Tigers would have the option to extend his assignment another 10 days if they don't feel he's ready to join the active roster.

Woo (12-7) earned the win Wednesday over the Padres, allowing two runs on six hits and a walk over 5.2 innings. He struck out six.

Woo held San Diego scoreless through five innings before giving up a pair of runs in the sixth, though the Mariners would manage to hang on for a 4-3 win, giving the right-hander his fourth victory in his last five outings. Despite the win, Woo failed to make it through six innings for the first time in 26 starts this season -- the right-hander's streak of 25 straight starts of six-plus innings marked a Seattle franchise record. Overall, Woo sports a 2.95 ERA with a 0.95 WHIP and 166:31 K:BB across 164.2 innings. Woo's currently scheduled to face the Rays on the road his next time out.

Cecconi didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the Rays, giving up three runs on six hits over six innings. He struck out four without walking a batter.

The right-hander delivered his second straight quality start on 99 pitches (63 strikes). Cecconi has five quality starts in eight outings since the All-Star break, but in the other three outings he got tagged for 19 runs (17 earned) in 16 innings, leaving him with a ragged 5.55 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, 27:8 K:BB and 2.1 HR/9 over 47 frames during that span. With John Means (elbow) closing on on his Cleveland debut, either Cecconi or Parker Messick, who has been very impressive in his first two MLB starts, are likely to lose their spot in the rotation. Cecconi may get one last chance to make his case in his next start, which is scheduled to come on the road early next week in Boston.
