Bennett took a no-decision against the Orioles on Thursday, allowing three runs on five hits and no walks in six innings. He struck out seven.

After serving up back-to-back solo home runs to begin the fourth inning, Bennett responded by retiring the final nine batters he faced Thursday. Despite getting a quick hook -- the 68 pitches were his second fewest of 2026 -- the southpaw went deep enough for his third consecutive quality start. He's set to take a strong 3.34 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 81:18 K:BB over 99.2 innings into a favorable home matchup versus the Angels.

Gausman (9-11) earned the win against the Brewers on Thursday, allowing one run on five hits and one walk in seven innings. He struck out nine.

The right-hander outdueled Logan Henderson on Thursday, authoring one of his finest efforts as a member of the Cubs. Gausman registered his most strikeouts in a Chicago uniform, giving up one or no runs for the second time in six starts with his new club. He'll try to build more momentum his next time out in a road rematch with Milwaukee, holding a 4.37 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 38:8 K:BB in 35 innings since being traded from Toronto.

Henderson (9-3) took the loss against the Cubs on Thursday, allowing two runs on three hits and no walks in seven innings. He struck out seven.

The right-hander was outdueled by Kevin Gausman on Thursday, taking a hard-luck loss in a valiant effort. Henderson continued to deal on the mound, rattling off his sixth straight quality start and fourth consecutive outing with fewer than three runs allowed. He'll look to keep the good times rolling his next time out in a home rematch with the Cubs, sporting a 2.48 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 93:14 K:BB in 83.1 innings.

Ginn (undisclosed) is dealing with some fatigue/soreness, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Ginn had his latest turn in the rotation skipped Tuesday against Texas, and he's dealing with some unspecified fatigue/soreness prior to Thursday's series opener with the Mariners. The right-hander won't pitch at all during the team's four-game series in Seattle, and the A's haven't made a decision on a potential stint on the injured list for Ginn.

Dobbins underwent reconstructive surgery on his right elbow Wednesday and is expected to require a 12-month recovery, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Dobbins was placed on the 15-day injured list Aug. 22 with right forearm discomfort, but after he received a second opinion on the arm Tuesday, he opted to undergo elbow surgery. The 27-year-old has now undergone two procedures on his right elbow in his young career, and he may be forced to miss the entirety of the 2027 campaign while recovering. Dobbins made 11 appearances, including eight starts, with St. Louis this season, posting a 3.67 ERA and 1.35 WHIP with 52 strikeouts over 54 innings.

Castillo (4-11) took the loss Thursday against the Astros, allowing six runs on six hits and two walks over four innings. He struck out three.

It was another rough outing for Castillo, who gave up a two-run homer to Jose Altuve in the first inning before the Astros put up a four spot in the third. Castillo's failed to get through five frames in any of his last four starts -- he's given up 17 earned runs on 30 hits in just 15.1 innings during that span. The 33-year-old's ERA is up to 5.57 across 126 innings between the White Sox and Mariners this season. He's tentatively lined up to face the Pirates at home his next time out.

Eovaldi (elbow) threw a bullpen Thursday that went well, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Eovaldi is working his way back from right posterior elbow inflammation that landed him on the 15-day injured list Aug. 10. The right-hander resumed playing catch last week and is progressing more slowly than anticipated after initially being expected to potentially miss just the 15-day minimum. The 36-year-old could soon be cleared to face live batters and begin a rehab assignment.

Brown (5-3) earned the win Thursday over the White Sox, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out seven.

It was another strong outing for Brown, who held Chicago to a pair of runs that came with two outs in the second inning. The right-hander has now held opponents to two runs or fewer in each of his last four outings, allowing just six runs across 23.1 innings in that span. Brown's ERA now sits at 3.31 through 16 starts (87 innings) this season with a 1.30 WHIP and 93:46 K:BB. He's tentatively lined up to face the Phillies on the road his next time out.

Soriano didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Guardians, allowing three runs on six hits and three walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out two.

Soriano did a decent job limiting the damage Thursday, though he'd ultimately come an out shy of qualifying for the win, as the Blue Jays turned to the bullpen with two outs in the fifth after Soriano threw 98 pitches. The results have been mixed lately for the right-hander, who's posted a 5.64 ERA across 22.1 innings in his last four starts. Overall, Soriano has gone 11-7 with a 3.52 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 151:70 K:BB through 28 starts (156 innings) between the Blue Jays and Angels this season. He's currently in line to face the A's in hitter-friendly Sacramento his next time out.

Bibee (5-15) took the loss Thursday against the Blue Jays, allowing five runs on four hits and five walks over four innings. He struck out four.

Bibee held Toronto to one run over his first four innings, but he unraveled in the fifth, allowing four runs without recording an out. It's the first time in four outings that Bibee's failed to record a quality start -- he had held opponents to three earned runs or fewer in nine straight starts prior to Thursday. The right-hander's ERA now sits at 4.06 on the season with a 1.18 WHIP and 132:51 K:BB across 29 starts (166.1 innings). Bibee will look to bounce back his next time out, tentatively scheduled for next week on the road in Baltimore.
