Corbin took a no-decision Friday against the Tigers, giving up three hits and two walks in 5.2 scoreless innings. He struck out six.

Corbin remains a stable source of length for the Rangers, having now tossed at least five innings in 14 consecutive starts and 16 of his 18 outings this year. Additionally, the veteran left-hander has fanned at least six in five of his last seven appearances. Corbin will bring a quality 3.91 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 80:29 K:BB over 99 frames into his next scheduled start at home versus the division-rival Athletics, who have a weak .625 OPS versus left-handed pitching since the start of June.

Olson took a no-decision Friday against the Rangers, giving up two hits and one walk in five scoreless innings. He struck out six.

Friday represented the fifth scoreless start of the season for Olson, who also recorded at least six punchouts for the fifth time this year. The right-hander produced 13 whiffs as well, and he's now been able to work at least five frames in eight of his 12 outings this season. Olson will carry a strong 2.71 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 61:23 K:BB over 63 innings into his next scheduled start, which projects for a soft matchup against the Pirates in Pittsburgh.

Bradley (6-6) earned the win Friday against the Orioles, giving up no runs on three hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out six.

Bradley was superb, registering his most strikeouts since his June 1 start in Houston. Friday also marked the 24-year-old right-hander's third scoreless outing of at least six innings in his last nine appearances, although he's surrendered at least five runs on three occasions during this stretch. Bradley now holds a 4.35 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 95:41 K:BB over 109.2 frames in 2025, and he's next scheduled to get a favorable matchup at home versus the lowly White Sox.

Morton (5-8) took the loss Friday against the Rays, giving up seven runs on eight hits and three walks in 5.1 innings. He struck out four.

The veteran right-hander wasn't sharp in his first start following the All-Star break, setting a season high in hits allowed and matching a season worst in runs allowed. Morton had yielded seven runs across his last four starts prior to Friday, but his ERA is now up to 5.58 for the year to go with a 1.56 WHIP and 92:41 K:BB over 88.2 innings (15 starts). His next turn tentatively lines up for next week in Cleveland, although the impending return of Zach Eflin (back) could alter Baltimore's rotation plans for next week.

Castillo (7-5) allowed three hits and two walks while striking out seven over 6.2 scoreless innings to earn the win over the Astros on Friday.

Castillo has won three straight starts, allowing just three runs over 18.2 innings in July. The right-hander threw 66 of 100 pitches for strikes in this outing, which was his fifth scoreless performance of the campaign. Castillo has been in peak form in 2025 with a 3.21 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 100:36 K:BB through 115 innings over 20 starts. He's projected for a home start versus the Brewers next week.

Walter (1-3) allowed one run on three hits and a walk while striking out seven over six innings to take the loss Friday versus the Mariners.

Walter put together his fifth quality start, but he was once again done in by a lack of run support. He's now at a 3.66 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 47:3 K:BB through 46.2 innings over eight starts this season. His strong performance could lead to a tough decision for the Astros' management when the team's rotation is closer to full strength, as Walter has turned some heads during this stint in the majors. He's projected to make his next start at Arizona as Houston operates with a five-man rotation while waiting for some injured pitchers to complete rehab assignments.

Priester (8-2) allowed three hits and struck out 10 without walking a batter over six shutout innings to earn the win over the Dodgers on Friday.

Priester was just a little better than Tyler Glasnow in this low-scoring game. After a bad start July 4 versus the Marlins, Priester has rebounded well, allowing two runs while racking up a 15:2 K:BB over 12 innings across his last two appearances (one start). The 25-year-old is at a 3.33 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 80:32 K:BB through 94.2 innings over 18 appearances (13 starts) this season, as he has occasionally followed an opener. Priester's next outing is projected to be at Seattle next week.

Glasnow (1-1) allowed one run on four hits and a walk while striking out six over six innings to take the loss Friday versus the Brewers.

Glasnow was excellent, limiting the damage to Caleb Durbin's RBI double in the fifth inning, but Milwaukee's Quinn Priester was just a bit better. Both of Glasnow's starts have been against the Brewers since he returned from a shoulder injury, and he's allowed just two runs (one earned) while posting an 11:4 K:BB over 11 innings across those outings. The right-hander is at a 3.10 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 34:15 K:BB through 29 innings over seven starts this season. Glasnow also topped the 85-pitch mark for the second outing in a row, landing 53 of 88 pitches for strikes, so there should be no concerns about his workload moving forward.

Matthews (shoulder) will be reinstated from the injured list and start Saturday's game against the Rockies, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Matthews has been sidelined since early June with a strain in his right shoulder. He was remarkable during his lone rehab outing Sunday, during which he gave up just one hit while racking up nine punchouts over four innings. The 25-year-old carries a 5.21 ERA and 1.47 WHIP through four MLB appearances this season, but his impressive minor-league start and a matchup against one of the worst offenses in the majors Saturday give him some appeal as a streaming option.

Pallante (5-6) allowed six runs (five earned) on nine hits and two walks while striking out three over 4.2 innings to take the loss Friday versus the Diamondbacks.

Pallante has a pair of scoreless outings over his last five starts, but he's given up 15 runs (13 earned) across 28.2 innings in that span. This was his second poor start in a row, though he was able to keep the ball down this time after allowing two home runs in a seven-run disaster versus the Nationals prior to the All-Star break. Pallante has a mediocre 4.71 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 67:34 K:BB through 105 innings over 19 starts this season. His next start is projected to be at Colorado, though that may not be as scary a matchup for a groundball-heavy pitcher like Pallante.
