Pivetta (6-11) picked up the win against the Twins in the first game of Sunday's doubleheader, allowing one run (zero earned) on four hits and three walks while striking out four in five innings.

Outside of a third-inning error that allowed one run to cross, Pivetta shut down the Twins to pick up his first win since July 29. Pivetta allowed at least one baserunner in all five innings he pitched, but he was able to minimize the damage despite a subpar 4:3 K:BB. The 31-year-old Pivetta has posted a respectable 4.21 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 166:35 K:BB in 139 innings this season. He is scheduled to wrap up his 2024 campaign next weekend against Tampa Bay.

Heaney allowed four runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out four over 5.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Sunday.

Heaney didn't get any run support while he was in the game, but the Rangers rallied for five runs over the sixth and seventh innings to help the southpaw avoid the loss. He's allowed seven runs over 10.2 innings in back-to-back starts versus the Mariners. Heaney is now at a 3.98 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 156:41 K:BB through 156 innings over 31 appearances (30 starts). He's projected for one more outing on the road versus the Angels.

Arrighetti said after Sunday's game against the Angels that his calf started cramping during the sixth inning, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Arrighetti alerted the coaching staff when he started to cramp, and manager Joe Espada made the call to shut the right-hander down. Arrighetti will undergo further testing on his calf, but if there's no lingering issue, his next projected start would take place on the road against the Guardians. The 24-year-old right-hander allowed two runs on five hits while striking out six over six innings in a no-decision Sunday.

Manager Carlos Mendoza said Sunday that Senga (calf) will not return from the 60-day injured list during the regular season after the right-hander felt tightness in his right tricep during a rehab outing with Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Senga will continue to throw, which suggests a return during the postseason may still be on the table, but he will end the regular season having made a lone appearance with the big club. The 31-year-old began the season on the IL with a shoulder strain and then strained his calf in his 2024 debut in July. His innings will be tough to project in 2025 after the injury-plagued season.

Castillo (hamstring) is making good progress and has thrown off a mound, but he's not expected to return from the 15-day injured list for the Mariners' three-game series in Houston that begins Monday, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

Seattle has confirmed Bryce Miller as its starter for Monday's series opener in Houston, and Logan Gilbert and George Kirby are considered "most likely" to go Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively. That means Castillo likely won't return from the IL when first eligible, but he's still very much in the mix to make a final regular-season start against Oakland later in the week. Castillo currently sits with a 3.64 ERA and 1.17 WHIP in 175.1 innings this season.

Scherzer (hamstring) said Sunday that he wants to pitch during the 2025 season, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

A pending free agent, Scherzer said that he's open to returning to Texas. He was limited to just nine starts this season due to back, arm and hamstring issues, but Scherzer believes a fully healthy offseason will set him up well to pitch in 2025. Now 40 years old, Scherzer comes with durability concerns and added performance risk at this stage of his career.

The Athletics recalled Boyle from Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday.

Boyle will come up to provide the bullpen with a fresh arm, replacing Brandon Bielak, who was designated for assignment. Over 11 outings (10 starts) for Oakland this season, Boyle has posted a 7.12 ERA and 1.74 WHIP across 43 innings.

The Mariners optioned Hancock to Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

The move implies Luis Castillo (hamstring) will be able to return from the 15-day injured list to make a start this coming week. Hancock has been a serviceable sixth starter for the Mariners this season, posting a 4.72 ERA and 1.30 WHIP in 11 starts (55.1 innings).

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said that Mize will be available in relief Sunday in Baltimore but will likely receive another traditional start during the upcoming week, possibly against the White Sox, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Sunday is Mize's turn in the rotation, but the Tigers will go with an opener in Tyler Holton, with Mize or Ty Madden expected to come in after Holton in bulk relief. All 20 of Mize's appearances so far this season have been starts.

McGreevy is listed as the Cardinals' scheduled starting pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Rockies at Coors Field.

After being called up from Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday, McGreevy was put to work out of the bullpen a day later in the Cardinals' game against the Pirates. He scooped up the win while tossing three scoreless innings in relief, and he'll now get the chance to enter the St. Louis rotation for the final week of the season due to Lance Lynn (knee) and Sonny Gray (forearm) both recently going on the injured list. Unless the Cardinals elect to expand their rotation to six men by moving Steven Matz from the bullpen, McGreevy will tentatively line up for two starts during the final week of the season. After Tuesday's contest in Colorado, McGreevy would be lined up to take the hill for the finale Sunday in San Francisco.
