Kershaw (5-2) tallied the win Friday against the Rays, allowing five hits and no walks in six shutout innings. He struck out three.

Friday marked just the fourth quality start of the year for Kershaw, who scattered five singles. The 37-year-old left-hander has now pitched at least five innings in seven of his last nine outings, though he's recorded more than five punchouts on just one occasion through 13 appearances this season. Kershaw owns a serviceable 3.29 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 42:18 K:BB across 65.2 frames, and he'll try to build on Friday's success in a tough matchup versus the first-pace Blue Jays at home next week.

Junk took a no-decision in Friday's 13-12 win over the Yankees, allowing six runs on six hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out four.

After throwing three spotless innings to begin the night, Junk was tagged for six runs over his final two frames. The six runs allowed also set a season high for the 29-year-old right-hander, who at least managed to toss at least five innings for a sixth consecutive start. Junk still owns a decent 3.86 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 48:6 K:BB over 65.1 frames, but his streaming appeal could be limited his next time, when he's projected to take on the first-pace Astros in Miami next week.

Rodon took a no-decision in Friday's 13-12 loss to the Marlins, allowing four earned runs on two hits and five walks in 4.2 innings. He struck out nine.

Rodon threw four hitless innings to open his outing, but he ended up getting blasted for four runs in the fifth frame to leave a considerable knock on his ledger. While the All-Star southpaw failed to fire at least five frames for the first time in 2025 while also issuing five free passes, he did come just one strikeout short of tying his season high. Rodon still owns a strong 3.34 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 156:52 K:BB across 134.2 frames, but things aren't likely to get much easier his next time out, when he's expected to face the AL West-leading Astros in The Bronx.

Smith settled for a no-decision after throwing 4.1 innings, allowing two runs on two hits and four walks while striking out four, during Friday's 6-3 win over the Angels.

In his return from the injured list, Smith made it only 4.1 innings, throwing 79 pitches. His last time throwing was a 55-pitch bullpen, so the lack of length can likely be explained away by that on this occasion, but it's still been a pattern of the 25-year-old throughout the season, especially lately. He's currently in the midst of a six-start streak of not making it through five innings. The right-hander has a 3-7 record with a 4.25 ERA and 85 strikeouts in 91 innings, and he is slated to face the Mariners on the road his next time out.

Alexander (2-7) took the loss after throwing six innings, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five, during Friday's 6-3 loss to the White Sox.

Alexander had a solid outing, allowing just five hits and four runs, but the left-hander once again had an issue keeping the ball in the ballpark. Three of the five hits the 35-year-old allowed were home runs, and he's now allowed at least one home run in five straight starts and 23 total home runs on the season, the second-most in all of MLB behind Zack Littell's 25 homers. Alexander is scheduled to face the Rays at home his next time out.

Ryan did not factor into the decision in Friday's game against the Guardians, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk while striking out four across six innings.

Ryan yielded a run in each of the first two innings, but he finished his outing strong by retiring 14 of the last 15 batters he faced. He now has 12 quality starts this season (six of which have come over his last nine outings), and his 2.83 ERA and 0.93 WHIP (across 127.1 innings) rank eighth and fifth, respectively, among qualified starters. Ryan is slated to make his next start against the Tigers on the road next week.

Senzatela took a no-decision after throwing just two-thirds of an inning, allowing eight runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out none, during Friday's 17-16 win over the Pirates.

For as ugly as some of the numbers are for Senzatela this season -- he sports a 7.34 ERA in 103 innings on the campaign -- he had gone at least four innings in every start. That came to an end Friday after an ugly outing in which the 30-year-old recorded just two outs in 10 batters faced, tying a season high by allowing eight runs. The right-hander allowed another home run, the 19th he's surrendered on the season, tied for the most he's allowed in his career. Senzatela is slated to face the AL East-leading Blue Jays in his next start.

Williams allowed four hits and two walks while striking out eight across six scoreless innings in the Guardians' 3-2 extra inning win against the Twins on Saturday but did not factor into the decision.

Williams started out hot by striking out four of the first six batters he faced. He managed to get out of a bases-loaded jam in the fourth and kept the Twins off the board in his six innings worked but was unable to come away with the win. Williams has logged a quality start in four of his last five outings and has a 3.33 ERA and 1.35 WHIP across 116.1 innings this season, but the 62 walks he's issued are most in the majors. He's lined up to face the Mets on the road next week.

Heaney took a no-decision after throwing 3.1 innings, allowing four runs (three earned) on seven hits and one walk while striking out one, during Friday's 17-16 loss to the Rockies.

Despite getting a nine-run lead to work with before even taking the mound for the first time, Heaney was unable to ride that run support to a win, failing to reach the requisite five innings required in order to qualify and also allowing the first four runs of what would become a 17-run day for Colorado. The left-hander struggled to put away Rockies batters and keep his pitch count down, picking up his third start striking out one or fewer batters all season. The 30-year-old is up to a 4.89 ERA and 79 strikeouts in 110.1 innings pitched on the year. He is slated to face the Giants at home in his next start.

Gausman (7-8) took the loss against the Royals on Friday, allowing five runs on six hits while striking out five across six innings. He did not issue a walk.

All of the damage to Gausman was done in the second and third frames on home runs by Mike Yastrzemski and Bobby Witt, respectively. Gausman finished his start strongly by retiring 12 of the last 13 batters he faced, but he wasn't able to fade the loss as the Blue Jays' bats fell silent against Michael Wacha. Gausman sports a 3.99 ERA across 128.2 innings this season, and his 1.10 WHIP and 127 strikeouts rank ninth and 12th, respectively, among qualified American League starters. He's lined up to make his next start against the Rockies on the road next week.
