Brown did not factor into the decision in Friday's 2-1 extra-inning loss to the Red Sox, allowing one run on four hits and one walk with six strikeouts over seven innings.

Brown opened with six scoreless innings before giving up a run in the seventh, throwing 65 of 97 pitches for strikes while logging his first quality start since July 2. It was a much-needed performance for the 26-year-old, who had allowed 14 earned runs over his previous four outings and hadn't completed five frames in any of his past three. He'll take a 2.47 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 155:39 K:BB across 131 innings into a road matchup with the Marlins next week.

Flaherty did not factor into the decision in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Phillies, allowing one run on two hits and three walks with seven strikeouts over six innings.

Flaherty departed with a 3-0 lead after allowing a leadoff single in the seventh inning, but the inherited runner would come around to score as the Phillies plated three runs in the frame. The 29-year-old generated 15 whiffs on 90 pitches and has now allowed three earned runs or fewer in seven straight outings, a stretch that includes four quality starts. He'll take a 4.36 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 144:47 K:BB across 115.2 innings into a home matchup with the Twins next week.

Suarez did not factor into the decision in Friday's 5-4 win over the Tigers, allowing three runs on four hits and no walks with five strikeouts over seven innings.

Suarez was burned by a three-run homer in the third inning but was otherwise excellent, tossing six scoreless frames and retiring the final 10 batters he faced. The southpaw also didn't issue a walk for the first time since June 1 and has now held opponents to three earned runs or fewer in 14 of 16 outings this season. He'll carry a 2.68 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 95:27 K:BB across 100.2 innings into a home matchup with the Orioles next week.

The Rangers optioned Rocker to Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.

The Rangers will send Rocker and Jacob Latz down to Triple-A to make room for trade deadline acquisitions Danny Coulombe and Phil Maton. Rocker has given up three earned runs in each of his last two major-league starts and has a 5.74 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 56:23 K:BB across 64.1 innings with the Rangers this season.

King (shoulder) will make a rehab start with Triple-A El Paso on Sunday, Annie Heilbrunn of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

King most recently threw a 40-pitch sim game Monday and told reporters after the session that he felt "100 percent" and pain-free, per AJ Cassavell of MLB.com. King is in the final stages of his recovery from a pinched thoracic nerve in his right shoulder, and barring any setbacks, he could be back in the Padres' rotation by mid-August. He went 4-2 across 10 starts with a 2.59 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 64:17 K:BB across 55.2 innings prior to landing on the injured list.

The White Sox reinstated Smith (ankle) from the injured list to start Friday's game against the Angels.

After spraining his ankle during the All-Star break, Smith will return from the injured list to make his first start of the second half versus the Angels, who have turned in a .738 OPS since the beginning of July. The 25-year-old righty reached 55 pitches during a bullpen session last weekend, so the White Sox may limit the number of pitches he throws during his first start back.

The Pirates recalled Harrington from Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday.

Harrington has surrendered nine earned runs in only eight MLB innings this season, and he carries a 5.48 ERA through 90.1 frames in Triple-A. Despite his performance, he'll be awarded a spot on the Pirates' pitching staff after Pittsburgh traded away David Bednar, Bailey Falter and Taylor Rogers on Thursday.

Astros manager Joe Espada said Friday that Arrighetti (thumb) "is in a position to make his next start at the major-league level," Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Arrighetti has made three rehab appearances, and despite being roughed up in his last outing Thursday with Triple-A Sugar Land, a return to the majors appears to be around the corner for the 25-year-old right-hander. With Arrighetti pitching Thursday and barring any setbacks, he could be back in the Astros' rotation as early as next week on the road against the Marlins. He made two starts for Houston before landing on the injured list in early April due to a right thumb fracture.

The Red Sox list May as their probable starting pitcher for Sunday's game against the Astros at Fenway Park.

Acquired from the Dodgers on Thursday, May won't have to wait long to make his Boston debut. Prior to being traded, May was in line to move to the Los Angeles bullpen, but he should have a clearer path to a permanent rotation spot in Boston, as he'll likely take over as the club's new No. 5 starter after Cooper Criswell makes what's expected to be a spot start Friday. Over 19 appearances (18 starts) with the Dodgers this season, May posted a 4.85 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 97:43 K:BB in 104 innings.

Horton (5-3) picked up the win in Friday's 1-0 victory over the Orioles, allowing two hits and three walks over five scoreless innings. He struck out three.

A Baltimore lineup that got depleted at the trade deadline was no match for Horton and the Cubs bullpen, with the rookie right-hander generating 24 called or swinging strikes in only 71 pitches (44 total strikes). Horton extended his scoreless streak to 17.2 innings with the performance, and on the season he sports a 3.42 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 53:25 K:BB through 73.2 innings. He'll look to produce more goose eggs in his next start, which is scheduled to come at home next week against the Reds.
