Warren (0-3) took the loss against the Cardinals on Saturday, allowing four runs on five hits and three walks with three strikeouts over four innings.

Warren yielded four runs in the third inning, including a three-run home run to Brendan Donovan. The rookie generated just five whiffs on 76 pitches and has now surrendered four earned runs or more in four of his five starts with the Yankees. He owns a 9.55 ERA and 1.85 WHIP through 21.2 major-league innings and will likely cede his spot in the rotation upon the return of Luis Gil (back) or Clarke Schmidt (lat).

The White Sox are expected to recall Iriarte from Double-A Birmingham on Sunday, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

Iriarte, a 22-year-old right-hander, will come up to fill one one of the two openings on the expanded September roster. He is expected to work mostly out of the bullpen after working primarily as a starter at Double-A. Iriarte has gone 5-7 with a 3.71 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 122:57 K:BB across 126 innings for Birmingham this season.

Suarez (7-4) picked up the win Friday, giving up two runs on eight hits over seven innings in a 5-3 victory over the Rockies. He struck out four without walking a batter.

The 34-year-old right-hander wasn't fazed by a trip to Coors Field, tossing 66 of 95 pitches for strikes en route to his fifth quality start of the season, and third in his last four trips to the mound. Suarez has been impressive since returning to the rotation, posting a 1.97 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 25:6 K:BB through 32 innings in August, and the Orioles could well keep him in that role even after Zach Eflin (shoulder) and Grayson Rodriguez (lat) get healthy. Suarez is scheduled to make his next start at home next week against the woeful White Sox.

Lopez (13-8) picked up the win Friday, allowing six hits over 7.2 scoreless innings in a 2-0 victory over the Blue Jays. He struck out three without walking a batter.

The right-hander extended his scoreless streak to 20.2 innings with another gem. Lopez has reeled off four straight quality starts, giving him 15 on the season, and since the All-Star break he's delivered a 1.92 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 43:10 K:BB over 51.2 innings. He'll look to give the Twins' playoff hopes another boost in his next outing, which lines up to come on the road next week in Tampa Bay.

Gausman (12-10) took the loss Friday as the Blue Jays were downed 2-0 by the Twins, giving up two runs on four hits and four walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out four.

The veteran righty fought his control at times, tossing only 58 of 103 pitches for strikes, and the inefficiency cost him his 14th quality start of the season. Despite the loss, Gausman turned things around in August, posting a 2.20 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 26:11 K:BB over his last five outings and 32.2 innings. He'll try to extend his hot streak in his next start, which is scheduled to come on the road next weekend in Atlanta.

Cannon (2-9) took the loss Friday as the White Sox fell 5-1 to the Mets, giving up four runs on five hits and four walks over five innings. He struck out three.

The big blow was a two-run homer by J.D. Martinez in the third inning, but Cannon wasn't sharp as he got only 48 of his 92 pitches into the strike zone. The 24-year-old has lost four straight starts, and in five outings in August he stumbled to a 6.31 ERA, 1.79 WHIP and 20:14 K:BB over 25.2 innings. Things don't get any easier for Cannon, as he lines up to make his next start on the road next week in Baltimore.

Valdez came away with a no-decision in Friday's 3-2 win over the Royals, walking three batters over seven no-hit, scoreless innings. He struck out seven.

The southpaw closed the books on August the same way he started it, by teasing a no-hitter, but Valdez left the mound after 98 pitches (60 strikes) with Houston clinging to a 1-0 lead that Josh Hader eventually squandered. The quality start was Valdez's 14th of the year, and he didn't give up more than three runs in any of his five August outings, posting a 1.59 ERA, 0.65 WHIP and 38:9 K:BB through 34 innings on the month. He'll look to keep rolling in his next start, which lines up to come at home next weekend against the Diamondbacks.

Lugo came away with a no-decision in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Astros, allowing one run on six hits and a walk over seven innings. He struck out nine.

The veteran right-hander delivered his 19th quality start of the season and produced his highest strikeout total since he fanned 10 Guardians on June 30, but Lugo was never in line for a win as Framber Valdez no-hit the Royals through seven innings. Despite Friday's performance, Lugo has faded in the second half under a career-high workload, posting a 4.67 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 39:14 K:BB in 52 innings since the All-Star break. He's scheduled to make his next start at home next week in a key clash with the Cleveland squad that Kansas City is trying to catch in the AL Central.

Gil (back) will make a minor-league rehab start Sunday, MLB.com reports.

Gil exited his Aug. 20 start against Cleveland after three-plus innings due to lower-back discomfort, and he subsequently landed on the 15-day injured list. The right-hander has since been able to toss a live batting practice session of around 65 pitches, and he may not require more than one rehab appearance before rejoining the Yankees rotation. Gil is eligible to return from the IL on Sept. 6, which would be five days after Sunday's rehab start.

Aldegheri (0-1) allowed seven runs (two earned) on six hits, two walks and two hit batsmen while striking out three over five innings to take the loss versus the Mariners on Friday.

Aldegheri's first inning in the majors was nightmarish, as a two-out error by Zach Neto allowed the Mariners to assemble a five-run rally. Aldegheri settled in fine after that, but a two-run home run by Julio Rodriguez in the fourth would tack the first earned runs onto his line. The 22-year-old southpaw struggled to a 5.19 ERA over 17.1 innings at Double-A Rocket City after he was traded from the Phillies to the Angels in the Carlos Estevez swap. It's unclear if Aldegheri will make another start after this uninspiring debut -- if he does, he's lined up for a road outing versus the Rangers next week.
