Chapman secured the save Thursday against Baltimore, allowing two runs on two hits and no walks in the ninth inning. He struck out two.

The Orioles made things very interesting after Christian Encarnacion-Strand launched a two-run home run, but Chapman hung on for the save in a shaky outing. It was the first time the All-Star closer conceded multiple earned runs since being unable to record an out June 22 in Colorado. He has a 2.12 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, 62:20 K:BB and 31 saves in 33 chances over 46.2 innings this year.

Rutschman went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs and an additional run scored in Thursday's 6-5 win over Baltimore.

Returning to Camden Yards for the first time since being traded to Boston, Rutschman recorded his first multi-homer game as a member of the Red Sox and second of 2026. The switch-hitting backstop also returned to the starting lineup after missing each of Boston's previous three contests due to a nagging elbow injury, looking no worse for wear in the process. Through 63 trips to the plate with his new team, Rutschman is still slashing just .193/.270/.368 with three long balls, one double, six RBI and eight runs scored.

Young took a no-decision against the Red Sox on Thursday, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks in 6.2 innings. He struck out seven.

The right-hander was one out away from a second consecutive seven-inning start, but Isiah Kiner-Falefa singled on a groundball to tie up the game and send Young to the dugout. Young has been a dependable back-end rotation piece for the Orioles throughout 2026, yielding more than three earned runs just four times in 24 starts. He'll bring a 3.42 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 110:48 K:BB over 137 innings into his next scheduled outing versus Cleveland.

Bennett took a no-decision against the Orioles on Thursday, allowing three runs on five hits and no walks in six innings. He struck out seven.

After serving up back-to-back solo home runs to begin the fourth inning, Bennett responded by retiring the final nine batters he faced Thursday. Despite getting a quick hook -- the 68 pitches were his second fewest of 2026 -- the southpaw went deep enough for his third consecutive quality start. He's set to take a strong 3.34 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 81:18 K:BB over 99.2 innings into a favorable home matchup versus the Angels.

Ginn (undisclosed) is dealing with some fatigue/soreness, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Ginn had his latest turn in the rotation skipped Tuesday against Texas, and he's dealing with some unspecified fatigue/soreness prior to Thursday's series opener with the Mariners. The right-hander won't pitch at all during the team's four-game series in Seattle, and the A's haven't made a decision on a potential stint on the injured list for Ginn.

White (back) hasn't resumed any baseball activities yet, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

White has been dealing with lower-back tightness since Tuesday, and the team is expected to give him at least one more day to make recovery before making a decision on a potential stint on the injured list. The 23-year-old posted a .247 average with two home runs, three doubles, eight RBI and 10 runs scored in 26 games during August.

Donovan continues to experience concussion symptoms, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Donovan has still felt concussion symptoms like nausea, fatigue and dizziness while participating in pregame workouts, and he will not be cleared to play until he can make it through one of those workouts free of symptoms. The 29-year-old has been sidelined since he was hit in the head by a baseball prior to a game against the Cubs on Aug. 22.

The Mariners recalled Davis (hamstring) from Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday and placed him on the 60-day injured list.

Davis hasn't played in a game at Tacoma since late May while recovering from a strained left hamstring. His move to the 60-day IL won't affect his return timeline, but it will free up a roster spot for Stuart Fairchild, who was selected to the active roster in a corresponding move. It's unknown how far away Davis is from returning.

The Mariners placed Robles on the family medical emergency list Thursday.

Robles will miss most, if not all, of the Mariners' four-game series against the A's while he tends to more important matters. Stuart Fairchild will come up from Triple-A Tacoma to fill the void in Seattle's outfield corps.

The Mariners selected Fairchild's contract from Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday.

Fairchild will return to the big leagues to replenish the Mariners' outfield depth as Victor Robles moves to the family medical emergency list. Fairchild has logged just three hits in 19 at-bats in the majors this season and isn't likely to make much of an impact with Seattle. Brennen Davis (hamstring) was placed on the 60-day IL to open up a 40-man roster spot.
