Gutierrez (9-6) took the loss in Friday's 15-5 rout at the hands of the Tigers, giving up four runs (three earned) on four hits and a walk over 3.1 innings. He struck out one.

All four of the hits off Gutierrez went for extra bases, including homers by Jonathan Schoop and Jeimer Candelario. The rookie right-hander has been hit hard in his last two starts and saddled with the loss in three of his last four. Gutierrez has a 4.17 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 76:36 K:BB through 99.1 innings on the season.

DeGrom (elbow) is still likely about 10 days from advancing to bullpen sessions, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

An MRI near the end of August yielded positive results for deGrom, who is recovering from inflammation in his elbow. He is said to be feeling good while throwing on flat ground at 75 feet. However, deGrom still must extend out to 120 feet and show he can handle that before the Mets sign off on him throwing from a mound, and that ramp-up will likely take until mid-September. He would then have to complete multiple bullpen sessions and live BP sessions before returning to action. Per DiComo, the Mets don't expect deGrom to make more than a start or two at the end of the regular season, and any remaining outings for deGrom are likely to be abbreviated.

Manoah didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 11-10 win over the A's, surrendering six runs on five hits and three walks over five-plus innings. He struck out two.

The rookie didn't have his best stuff, getting tagged for two runs in each of the first, fifth and sixth innings before getting the hook after 89 pitches (53 strikes). Manoah has been hit and miss lately, recording four quality starts in his last seven outings but coughing up at least six runs in two of the other three starts in that stretch. His overall numbers remain solid, however; the 23-year-old carries a 3.63 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 88:28 K:BB through his first 79.1 big-league innings.

Peralta (9-4) took the loss against St. Louis on Friday, completing two innings and allowing four runs one three hits and two walks while striking out four.

Peralta returned to action after missing over two weeks with right shoulder inflammation. He wasn't sharp in the brief appearance, as he needed 53 pitches to retire six batters and surrendered four runs for the first time since early May. The right-hander ended his outing on a high note, striking out the final two hitters he faced with a pair of runners in scoring position, but this was otherwise a disappointing outcome both for Peralta and for fantasy managers who roster him. The 25-year-old will look for better results his next time out, which is likely to come at Cleveland late next week.

Wainwright (14-7) allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits and three walks while striking out four over 6.1 innings to earn the win over Milwaukee on Friday.

The Cardinals have tallied 28 runs in support of Wainwright over his past two starts, allowing the veteran to cruise through relatively stress-free outings. He posted six scoreless innings Friday before the Brewers tagged him for a pair of runs (one of which was unearned) in the seventh, leading to Wainwright's exit after 105 pitches. The 40-year-old continues to defy Father Time, registering a 2.91 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 159:43 K:BB across 176 innings on the campaign while tying for second in MLB with 14 wins. He has gotten stronger as the season has progressed, posting a 1.92 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 7-2 record since the All-Star break. Wainwright's next start is tentatively scheduled to come at home against the Dodgers on Wednesday.

Civale (finger) will make his next start in the big-league rotation, likely Monday against the Twins, Paul Hoynes of Cleveland.com reports.

He came out of his last rehab start Wednesday very well after throwing 71 pitches, so Civale shouldn't face notable restrictions in his long-awaited return to Cleveland's rotation. While he lines up to start Monday, that hasn't been confirmed, but even if he started Tuesday, he could still have a two-start week, with the latter coming next weekend at home against the Brewers. Civale has a 0.79 ERA, 0.71 WHIP and 12 strikeouts in 11.1 innings through three rehab starts.

Hill didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 6-2 extra-inning win over the Nationals, allowing three hits and two walks over six scoreless innings. He struck out four.

The veteran lefty tossed 53 of 85 pitches for strikes and appeared headed for his seventh win of the season until Edwin Diaz blew the save in the ninth inning. Hill settled for his sixth quality start -- and first since May 25 -- instead, and he'll carry a 3.92 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 119:45 K:BB through 133 innings into his next outing.

Senzatela (4-9) earned the win over Atlanta on Friday by allowing three runs on six hits and no walks while striking out three over seven innings.

The right-hander threw an efficient 83 pitches -- 56 of which were strikes -- across his seven frames. He surrendered a single run in each of the first and second innings but then kept Atlanta off the scoreboard until the sixth. Senzatela has registered five straight quality starts, posting a 2.45 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 19:5 K:BB across 33 innings over that span. His lack of strikeouts limits his fantasy appeal, but Senzatela has been mostly reliable, yielding no more than four earned runs in 12 of 13 starts since the beginning of June. His next start is likely to come at home versus San Francisco next week.

Ynoa (4-5) suffered the loss against Colorado on Friday, pitching 5.2 innings and allowing four runs on five hits and one walk while striking out five.

The right-hander nearly notched a quality start, but a pair of two-out sixth-inning base knocks resulted in the Rockies' decisive fourth run and Ynoa's subsequent exit. He has taken the loss in four of his past five starts and has not picked up a win since May 9 against the Phillies. Ynoa still holds a strong 3.19 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 71:17 K:BB across 67.2 innings on the season, however, and appears to have a secure spot in the rotation. He's likely to face Washington at home next week.

Giolito (hamstring) began playing catch and could throw a bullpen session Wednesday in Oakland, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Giolito, who left Tuesday's start during the fifth inning with a strained left hamstring, was able to play catch by Thursday. He reported feeling much better Friday during his session on the field, which also included a "calculated" running program.
