Arrighetti did not factor into the decision in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Rays, allowing one run on two hits and one walk with four strikeouts over six innings.

Arrighetti opened with five scoreless frames before allowing a solo homer in the sixth, generating 10 whiffs on just 73 pitches before departing in a 1-1 tie. It was a much-needed effort for the 26-year-old, who posted a 9.00 ERA in June and entered Friday having surrendered 14 earned runs over his previous two starts. He'll carry a 3.81 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 79:38 K:BB across 78 innings overall into a challenging road matchup with the Nationals next week.

Martinez did not factor into the decision in Friday's 3-1 win over the Astros, allowing one run on three hits and one walk with three strikeouts over 5.1 innings.

Martinez was cruising until he yielded a solo homer to Yordan Alvarez in the sixth inning, subsequently departing in a 1-1 tie after allowing a single to the next batter he faced. While he hasn't been able to notch a quality start in either outing, the 35-year-old has yielded just one earned run while pitching into the sixth in both of his past two starts. He'll take a 2.61 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 61:18 K:BB across 100 innings this season into a home matchup with the Yankees next week.

Holmes (5-4) earned the win against the Mets on Friday, allowing two runs (one earned) on five hits and one walk with two strikeouts over five innings.

Holmes allowed a two-run homer in the third inning but kept the Mets off the board otherwise, throwing 56 of 82 pitches for strikes with eight whiffs. The 30-year-old has now yielded just two earned runs over his past three appearances, including one in bulk relief, and owns a 3.83 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 71:38 K:BB across 82.1 innings this season. It's currently unclear what his role will be for his next outing.

Scott (2-1) took the loss against Atlanta on Friday, allowing three runs on two hits and four walks with seven strikeouts over four innings.

Scott generated 13 swinging strikes on 82 pitches but was burned by two homers. It was more of the same for the 27-year-old, who's surrendered six long balls over his past three outings despite tallying 19 strikeouts across just 13 innings during that stretch. He owns a 3.49 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 60:25 K:BB over 49 frames this season and lines up for a home matchup with the Royals next week.

Lagrange was diagnosed with a capsular sprain of the right shoulder Friday, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Lagrange had been making a push to join the major-league bullpen at some point this season, but he landed on the injured list at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday and is now facing an extended absence following his diagnosis. The Yankees will keep him shut down from throwing for about six weeks, at which point he'll be re-evaluated.

Singer (3-8) took the loss against Baltimore on Friday, allowing three runs (two earned) on three hits and five walks while striking out six across five innings.

Singer found himself in hot water early after allowing the first three batters he faced to reach base in the first inning, but he limited the damage to one unearned run that came on a throwing error from Tyler Stephenson. Singer proceeded to give up a two-run homer to Samuel Basallo in the third. Singer has allowed three earned runs or fewer in six of his last seven starts, but his eight losses are tied for third most in the majors this season, and he sits at a 5.03 ERA and 1.54 WHIP across 82.1 innings. He'll look to get back in the win column in his next start, tentatively slated for next week at home against the Phillies.

Rogers (6-7) earned the win against the Reds on Friday, allowing two hits and five walks while striking out four across five scoreless innings.

It wasn't exactly smooth sailing for Rogers, who allowed at least two baserunners in three of his five innings while issuing a season-high five walks. However, the southpaw did just enough to keep the Reds off the board, and the Orioles' bullpen carried that momentum over the final four innings for the four-hit shutout. It was the second scoreless outing of the season for Rogers, two of which have come over his last three outings, and he has allowed two earned runs or fewer in five of his last six starts. He'll take a 4.70 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 65:29 K:BB across 84.1 total innings into his next start, which is slated for next week at home against the Cubs.

Peterson (4-7) took the loss Friday as the Cubs were routed 17-1 by the Cardinals, surrendering 10 runs on nine hits and three walks over 3.2 innings. He struck out three.

After an effective debut for Chicago on June 27 in a win over Milwaukee, Peterson crashed back down to earth in a hurry. The 10 runs allowed were a career worst for the southpaw, who got chased after 91 pitches (58 strikes) as St. Louis put multiple runs on the board in five straight innings beginning in the second frame. The Cubs' injury woes in the rotation could force them to give Peterson another start, but with Jameson Taillon (hamstring) beginning a rehab assignment this weekend, Peterson likely can't afford another poor outing if he wants to keep his spot. Peterson will carry a 6.75 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 68:33 K:BB through 77.1 innings split between the Cubs and Mets into his next trip to the mound, which is currently set to come on the road next week in Baltimore.

Pallante (10-5) picked up the win Friday, allowing five hits and a walk over 5.2 scoreless innings in a 17-1 rout of the Cubs. He struck out two.

The Cardinals backed Pallante by scoring multiple runs in five straight innings beginning in the second frame as the right-hander breezed through his afternoon, getting lifted after 102 pitches (61 strikes) and coming one out shy of his seventh quality start of the season. Pallante has given up two runs or fewer in five of six starts since the beginning of June, posting a 2.68 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 24:6 K:BB over 37 innings during that stretch, and his 10 wins tie him for first among all big-league starting pitchers this season with Chase Burns, Cristopher Sanchez and Justin Wrobleski. Pallante will look to keep rolling in his next outing, which lines up to come at home next week against the Brewers.

The Padres placed Vasquez on the 15-day injured list Friday with a bruised right ankle, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

After taking a comebacker off his ankle Thursday, Vasquez fainted while on his way to get X-rays, leading to his hospitalization. He was discharged from the hospital Friday, and tests on his ankle came back negative, but the Padres will keep him sidelined for the remainder of the first half. Alek Jacob will come up from Triple-A El Paso to give the Padres extra bullpen depth while they sort out their rotation plans.
