Junk took a no-decision in Friday's extra-innings win at Texas, yielding one run on three hits and no walks over seven innings with five strikeouts.

The Miami right-hander tossed 91 total pitches, generating nine whiffs, to notch his second straight quality start and sixth of the season. The lone blemish on Junk's line came in the second when a run scored on an infield single by Josh Jung. Across 105.1 total frames, the 29-year-old Junk has pitched to a 4.27 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 73:13 K:BB while conceding only eight homers. Junk is currently slated to next take the mound in the Marlins' upcoming road series against Philadelphia next week.

Mahle pitched 4.2 scoreless innings with six strikeouts and took a no-decision in Friday's extra-innings loss to the Marlins. He allowed four hits and one walk.

The Texas right-hander returned from a shoulder injury that had kept him out since mid-June. Mahle showed up with his swing-and-miss stuff, as he generated an impressive 12 whiffs out of his 68 total pitches to notch six or more Ks for the third time this season. Overall, the free-agent-to-be has produced a 2.20 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 62:28 K:BB in 81.2 innings across 15 appearances. Mahle currently projects to make his next start against one of his former clubs, the Twins, at home next week.

Misiorowski (5-3) allowed two runs on five hits and three walks while striking out three over 3.2 innings to take the loss Friday versus the Cardinals.

Misiorowski got scored on in both of the first two innings and threw just 45 of 77 pitches for strikes. After the game, manager Pat Murphy told reporters the team is considering having Misiorowski pitch out of the bullpen in the final week of the regular season due to his recent struggles as a starter, per Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Misiorowski has given up 21 runs over 30.1 innings across seven outings since returning from a lower-leg injury, and coupled with his career-high 127 innings across all levels, it's possible the rookie right-hander is running out of steam. If Misiorowski is officially moved to the bullpen, Erick Fedde could be a candidate to take his place for the final regular-season turn through the rotation, though neither of them seems likely to occupy a starting role in the postseason.

Alvarez (1-1) took the loss on Friday, allowing six runs (four earned) on seven hits and one walk with four strikeouts over 3.1 innings.

Alvarez entered the fourth inning with a 4-2 lead but was charged with four runs while failing to escape the frame. It was the first time the young southpaw allowed more than two runs in his four major-league outings, and he now owns a 2.84 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 15:7 K:BB across 19 innings with the Nationals. He lines up to finish the 2025 campaign in a road matchup with Atlanta next week.

Gray (14-8) allowed one run on nine hits and struck out seven without walking a batter over six innings to earn the win over the Brewers on Friday.

Gray was a little generous with the hits, but he was able to limit the damage to a Sal Frelick solo shot in the third inning. This was Gray's first quality start of September -- he's allowed 13 runs over 22.1 innings across his four outings this month. For the season, he now has a 4.33 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 194:36 K:BB through 174.2 innings spanning 31 starts. He's lined up for his season finale next week in a road start versus the Giants, and he's within striking distance of earning his third 200-strikeout campaign.

Sproat did not factor into the decision in Friday's 12-6 win over the Nationals, allowing four runs on four hits and two walks with five strikeouts over four innings.

Sproat tossed three perfect frames but was done in by a four-run third inning, throwing 42 of his 71 total pitches for strikes while generating just six whiffs. The outing was a step back for the 25-year-old after he opened his career with back-to-back quality starts, but he still owns a respectable 3.94 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 15:6 K:BB across 16 major-league innings. Sproat will look to finish the regular season on a high note in a tough road matchup with the Cubs next week.

Woo was pulled from his start Friday against Houston due to pectoral tightness, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.

Woo pitched five scoreless innings, allowing just one hit and one walk while striking out seven batters before his pec forced him to come out of the game while he was warming up for the sixth. He's expected to undergo an MRI on Saturday to determine the severity of his injury, at which point more will be known about his chances to make his next start -- tentatively scheduled to come Thursday against the Rockies.

Manager John Schneider said Friday that Berrios will be used out of the bullpen going forward, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

The arrival of Trey Yesavage on Monday left the Blue Jays with six arms in their rotation, so the team will clear the logjam by shifting Berrios to a long-relief role. The 31-year-old right-hander owns a 4.06 ERA and 1.29 WHIP alongside a 135:54 K:BB through 164 innings on the year, and he could make his first relief appearance of the season soon, considering he hasn't pitched since Tuesday.

Lorenzen (6-11) earned the win in Friday's 20-1 rout of the Blue Jays, allowing one run on three hits and three walks over 7.2 innings. He struck out four.

After conceding a solo homer to George Springer in the first, Lorenzen was able to settle in because his offense provided seven runs of support in the bottom of the inning. The veteran righty fired 113 total pitches in this outing, 71 of them being strikes, and took home his ninth quality start of the season. Through 136 total frames, Lorenzen has pitched to a 4.70 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 118:39 K:BB. The 33-year-old currently projects to make his next start on the road against the Angels.

Rasmussen did not factor into the decision in Friday's 11-7 loss to the Red Sox, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk with two strikeouts over three innings.

Rasmussen needed 76 pitches to get through just three innings, generating only four whiffs in his shortest outing since the All-Star break. After closing August with four straight quality starts, the 30-year-old has failed to complete more than five frames in any of his four September outings. He owns a 2.80 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 124:35 K:BB across 147.2 innings this season and will aim to finish strong in a road matchup with the Orioles next week.
