Springs (1-2) took the loss Thursday against Oakland, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks across 3.1 innings. He struck out three.

After completing five innings in three straight starts, Springs failed to get through the fourth Thursday. While all three of his allowed runs came before the fourth frame, Springs was removed after 82 pitches following a Darell Hernaiz double. Since making his season debut in late July, Springs has a 4.50 ERA with four home runs allowed and a 24:7 K:BB over 22 innings. He's on track to face the Mariners early next week.

Yarbrough (5-2) earned the win over the Angels on Thursday, allowing three hits and striking out four batters over five scoreless innings in bulk relief.

Ryan Burr opened the contest for Toronto and pitched a scoreless first frame. He surrendered a leadoff single in the second and then turned the ball over to Yarbrough, who followed with five scoreless innings during which he allowed just three singles and a hit batsman. The outing was the longest for Yarbrough since joining the Blue Jays via a trade with the Dodgers on July 30 -- before Thursday, he hadn't pitched more than two innings in an appearance for the Blue Jays. The left-hander has been pitching well of late, giving up only one run across his past nine innings spanning three outings.

Bido (5-3) picked up the win Thursday against Tampa Bay, allowing one run on two hits and three walks across five-plus innings. He struck out six.

After tossing back-to-back shutout starts, Bido was excellent once again Thursday. He allowed two or fewer hits in for a third consecutive start and punched out six batters for the fifth time in his last six outings. After posting a sub-par 5.86 ERA with the Pirates in 2023, Bido has a 3.24 ERA and a 51:24 K:BB across 50 innings this season. The 28-year-old is tentatively scheduled to face the Reds in Cincinnati next.

Miller picked up the save Thursday against Tampa Bay, allowing one hit with two strikeouts across a scoreless ninth inning.

The uber-talented 25-year-old became the 17th closer to reach 20 saves and extended his scoreless inning streak to 11 frames. Miller has appeared in 41 games this season, tallying a 1.85 ERA and an 81:17 K:BB across 48.2 innings.

Kwan went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Thursday's 6-0 loss to the Yankees.

Kwan led off the game with a single, but that was the Guardians' lone hit of the contest. Prior to Thursday, Kwan had gone just 1-for-20 over his last five games, though the Guardians have struggled in general during their road trip with stops in Milwaukee and New York. The outfielder is up to 11 steals on 15 attempts while slashing .310/.371/.457 through 101 contests this season.

Ramirez went 0-for-1 with three walks and a stolen base in Thursday's 6-0 loss to the Yankees.

Ramirez has been hitless in five of his last seven games, going 2-for-23 with seven walks and four steals in that span. While his bat is cold, his steal Thursday was his 30th of the year, and that got him to the second 30-30 campaign of his career. His career high of 34 thefts from 2018 is very much in reach. Ramirez is slashing .273/.332/.530 with 32 home runs, 101 RBI and 93 runs scored over 124 contests this season, and given his overall career consistency, it's safe to assume his current slump won't stretch too much longer.

Mountcastle exited Thursday's game against the Astros due to a sore wrist, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Mountcastle suffered the injury while diving headfirst into second base in the second inning. He remained in the contest until the ninth frame but reported that the pain got progressively worse. Imaging will likely be the next step and should provide a clearer timeline for Mountcastle's return.

Aranda (oblique) was reinstated from Triple-A Durham's 7-day injured list Wednesday and went 1-for-4 in an 11-6 win over Syracuse.

Aranda served as Durham's designated hitter in his first game in two months after completing his recovery from an oblique strain. In addition to the oblique strain, Aranda missed extended time to begin the season due to a fractured finger. The two injuries have limited him to just 45 games between Triple-A and Tampa Bay.

Mize (hamstring) struck out five over 3.1 innings and gave up one earned run on three hits and two walks in his rehab start Sunday with Triple-A Toledo.

In his third outing with Toledo, Mize built up to 63 pitches (39 strikes). He's expected to make one more start with the Triple-A club Saturday before making his return from the 60-day injured list when first eligible Aug. 30 or shortly thereafter.

McGonigle underwent surgery Aug. 15 to repair a hamate bone fracture in his right hand, MLB.com reports.

The Tigers haven't provided a timeline for McGonigle's return, but with High-A West Michigan's season ending Sept. 8, the 20-year-old infielder is most likely done for 2024. The 37th overall pick in the 2023 First-Year Player Draft, McGonigle finished his first full professional season with a .309/.401/.452 slash line to go with five home runs and 22 stolen bases over 328 plate appearances between stops with West Michigan and Single-A Lakeland.
