Marquez (10-9) lost Thursday's 7-0 contest with San Francisco, allowing seven runs on seven hits and two walks with six strikeouts across four innings.

Marquez was solid through three innings, permitting a single run with five strikeouts, but surrendered six straight baserunners, all of whom scored, in a fourth-inning collapse. The first-time All-Star had gone nine straight starts allowing four runs or less and he's now whiffed at least six batters in his last four. He'll look to get back on track next week against San Diego.

Webb (6-3) won Thursday's 7-0 dispatching of the Rockies, throwing six innings and allowing three hits and two walks with eight strikeouts.

Webb was brilliant Thursday, with more strikeouts than baserunners allowed on his way to his first scoreless start since May. No Rocky made it past second base and three double plays assisted the 24-year-old in needing only 91 pitches to get through six innings. Webb now has four straight quality starts and hasn't lost since back on May 5, improving his ERA from 5.34 to 2.96 in the 10-start stretch.

Berrios (8-6) gave up six runs on eight hits and four walks over 4.1 innings in a loss to the Angels on Thursday. He had three strikeouts.

Berrios both struggled with his control and allowed a fair amount of hard contact on the way to his first loss as a Blue Jay. He was able to pitch out of a bases-loaded, one-out jam in the first inning, but he couldn't avoid trouble again in the second when the Angels struck for four runs. Berrios was ultimately chased from the game with one out in the fifth, matching his shortest start of the season, which happened way back on April 14. Berrios is tentatively slated to make his next start on the road against the Nationals.

Bassitt (12-3) allowed three hits and two walks while striking out six across six scoreless innings to earn the win Thursday against Cleveland.

Bassitt was gifted an early lead and took advantage to cruise to an easy victory. He ran into a bit of trouble in both the first and fifth innings but faced little resistance from the Cleveland lineup otherwise. Bassitt has now worked at least six innings in eight of his last 10 starts, during which time he's maintained a 2.56 ERA with a pristine 62:12 K:BB across 63.1 frames.

Suarez allowed one earned run on three hits and two walks while striking out four across 4.1 innings Thursday against the Dodgers. He did not factor into the decision.

Suarez had another short outing from an innings perspective, and he's now completed three, 2.2 and 4.1 innings in his three appearances as a starter. However, he progressed toward a normal workload from a pitch count perspective, as he fired 82 total pitches -- 48 of which went for strikes. Though he's allowed only one earned run across 10 innings as a starter, Suarez has handed out six free passes in that span. That will be an area he'll need to improve upon in order to continue preventing runs while also getting him deeper into starts.

Lynn allowed four runs on four hits and a pair of walks over five innings Thursday against the Yankees, striking out seven. He did not factor into the decision.

New York did its biggest chunk of damage off Lynn in the third inning, when Aaron Judge hit a three-run homer to give the Yankees a 3-1 lead. Brett Gardner also took Lynn deep in the sixth, the first time in almost two months that Lynn has allowed more than one homer in a start. It was also just the second time in 21 starts this season that an opponent has managed to put together more than three runs against Lynn. The 34-year-old is 10-3 on the year with a 2.26 ERA and 137:37 K:BB in 119.2 innings.

Rasmussen allowed one earned run on one hit and two walks while striking out four across four innings in the win over the Red Sox on Thursday. He did not factor into the decision.

Rasmussen was expected to serve as the opener but ended up working through four innings. He allowed just one run on a Rafael Devers double in the fourth inning. The right-hander has given up a run in each of his last three appearances, covering eight frames. Since joining the Rays, he has a 3.81 ERA and 1.23 WHIP with 29 strikeouts over 26 innings.

Darvish was removed from Thursday's start against the Diamondbacks with lower back tightness.

Darvish exited his outing with the team's head training after struggling through 2.2 innings. It could be viewed as a positive that his removal wasn't related to the left hip inflammation that sidelined him in July, though it's unclear how serious this injury may be.

Darvish exited Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks with a team trainer, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Darvish struggled prior to exiting, as he allowed six runs (five earned) on six hits and one walk across 2.2 innings. Acee noted that Darvish looked uncomfortable throughout his start, which the results certainly reflect. It's unclear if there is an injury or what the issue may be, though it is worth noting that Darvish was sidelined by left hip inflammation in July.

Heaney allowed seven runs on five hits and three walks in five innings against the White Sox on Thursday. He had five strikeouts and did not factor into the decision.

A change in uniforms hasn't done anything to mitigate Heaney's problems with the long ball; he's already given up eight homers in 15 innings since being acquired from the Angels, resulting in a ghastly ERA of 9.00 in his three starts for the Yankees. He was touched up by Jose Abreu, Eloy Jimenez and Seby Zavala on Thursday while also issuing three walks for the second straight outing. It's hard to imagine Heaney remaining in the rotation much longer at this rate, especially with Corey Kluber (shoulder) and Luis Severino (groin/elbow) currently on rehab assignments. For now, Heaney is tentatively scheduled for a home start against Boston next week.
