Wesneski (1-0) allowed three runs on seven hits, two walks and a hit batsman while striking out four over 5.2 innings to earn the win over the Angels on Wednesday.

Wesneski made his first major-league appearance since May of 2025, completing his recovery from Tommy John surgery. The right-hander showed some rust, but he took advantage of a favorable matchup to get the win while throwing 52 of 79 pitches for strikes. It wouldn't be surprising for Wesneski to operate with a slight workload restriction for a few more starts. He is tentatively lined up for a home start versus the Blue Jays next week.

Murakami went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and three runs scored Wednesday against the Yankees.

Murakami delivered a clutch home run in the eighth inning to tie the game at 4-4. He also scored a game-tying run in the 11th frame. After starting slowly following his return from the injured list in mid-July, Murakami is now in the midst of a six-game hitting streak, during which he's gone 8-for-24 with three home runs, seven RBI and eight runs scored.

Rodriguez allowed two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out six over five innings in a no-decision versus the Astros on Wednesday.

Rodriguez put together his best outing of the month, but he still allowed multiple home runs, giving up solo shots to Yainer Diaz and Jeremy Pena. He left in line for the win, but the Angels' bullpen failed to protect the lead. Rodriguez remains an inconsistent performer this year -- he's allowed three runs or less in just five of his 10 starts. Overall, he has a 7.98 ERA, 1.75 WHIP and 36:21 K:BB this season, and he's also surrendered nine homers through 44 innings. He's projected to get a look at his former team, the Orioles, in a road start next week.

Schlittler took a no-decision Wednesday against the White Sox, allowing one run on two hits and one walk in 6.1 innings. He struck out eight.

Schlittler was cruising along until the seventh inning, when Andrew Benintendi hit an RBI double to both get the White Sox on the board and chase Schlittler from the hill. The All-Star right-hander added to his breakout campaign with a strong month of July, tossing at least 6.1 innings while yielding two runs or fewer in four of his five starts on the month. Schlittler is set to carry a 2.04 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 165:26 K:BB over 136.2 innings into a favorable home draw against the Cardinals in his next start.

Martin took a no-decision Wednesday against the Yankees, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out six.

Martin was in line for the loss Wednesday, giving up all of his four runs in the opening inning, but the hurler taken off the hook when the White Sox rallied for four runs across the seventh and eighth frames. The right-hander has fared poorly since the beginning of June, posting a 5.84 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 35:21 K:BB over his last 10 starts (49.1 innings). Martin is hanging onto what's still a respectable 3.62 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 106:35 K:BB over 117 frames overall, but things may not get any easier with a tough assignment in Boston on tap for his next outing.

Arias started at second base and went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored during Wednesdays 6-1 win over the Reds.

Arias has seen his playing time dwindle since Jose Ramirez (hand) came off the injured list, but he got the start at second base Wednesday with Travis Bazzana moving to designated hitter. Arias now has a hit in six of his last seven games. The 26-year-old is having the best hitting season of his career with a .261/.302/.412 slash line and five home runs, but he could have trouble finding regular starts since Ramirez, Bazzana, and Brayan Rocchio are locked into starting roles.

Manzardo went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in a 6-1 win over the Reds on Wednesday.

Manzardo reached base safely three times in Wednesday's game as he continues his mini power surge over his last seven games. In those games, Manzardo has three homers and eight RBI to go along with a .714 slugging percentage, but he is struggling overall on the season with a .154 average (4-for-26) and 12 strikeouts since the break and is batting just .210 for the season.

Singer (5-10) took the loss against Cleveland on Wednesday, allowing four runs (all unearned) on six hits and four walks while striking out three across 4.1 innings.

After a nice streak of three starts of more than six innings, Singer stumbled in the 6-1 loss to the Guardians, throwing only 58 of his 100 pitches for strikes and walking in two runs. It ends a run of four straight starts of at least five innings for the righty. Singer is now tied for the MLB lead with 10 losses on the year, though his 4.35 ERA and 1.42 WHIP through 107.2 innings likely aren't deserving of that loss total.

Cantillo took a no-decision Wednesday against the Reds, allowing no runs on four hits and a walk while striking out eight over four innings.

Cantillo wasn't exactly efficient as he threw just 53 of his 89 pitches for strikes, but he generated multiple strikeouts in three of his four frames to help break a two-start losing streak. The 26-year-old got into jams in the first and fourth innings but escaped unscathed as he continues to excel with runners in scoring position, as the .189 average against him in those situations leads MLB. The lefty is slated to make his next start at home against the Mets.

Miller earned the save in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Rockies, striking out two in a perfect ninth inning.

Miller has now turned in 10 straight scoreless innings, allowing just four hits and two walks while striking out 19 in that span. The star closer is a perfect 28-for-28 in save chances this season while posting a minuscule 0.79 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 85:15 K:BB across 45.2 innings.
