Luzardo (14-6) earned the win Thursday against the Mets, allowing four runs on five hits and no walks in eight innings. He struck out 10.

It looked as though Luzardo was on his way to a quick hook as New York tagged him for four runs on five hits in the opening inning, but the hurler experienced a remarkable turnaround. Luzardo proceeded to pitch seven perfect innings from that point on, fanning double-digit batters for the sixth time this season in his longest appearance of the campaign. A tough test against the Dodgers awaits the southpaw in his next scheduled start. Through 169.2 innings, Luzardo has a 4.03 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 200:56 K:BB.

Peterson didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Phillies, allowing three runs on seven hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out eight.

While Peterson remains without a quality start since Aug. 19 in Washington, he's now fanned at least eight in three of his last five outings. The All-Star southpaw pounded the zone for 61 strikes among his 86 pitches Thursday while generating 19 whiffs, though he did serve up his first homer since Aug. 6 against Cleveland. Peterson will bring a respectable 3.77 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 148:60 K:BB across 162.1 innings into his next appearance, which is tentatively scheduled to come against the Padres.

Suwinski (groin) went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Thursday in a rehab appearance with Triple-A Indianapolis.

Suwinski has been sidelined since Aug. 29 with the injury but made his first rehab appearance Thursday. He took Michael Soroka (shoulder) deep in the sixth inning and could be back with the Pirates within the next week.

Soroka (shoulder) allowed one earned run on one hit and no walks while striking out three across 2.1 innings in a rehab outing with Triple-A Iowa on Thursday.

Soroka was initially scheduled to make the rehab outing Wednesday, but it was instead pushed to Thursday. He allowed a solo home run to Jack Suwinski (groin) but otherwise looked sharp while throwing 38 pitches. He should be in line to return from the injured list in short order but likely won't be ready for a full starter's workload immediately upon rejoining the Cubs.

O'Hoppe (concussion) is expected to return to the lineup during the Angels' upcoming series at Milwaukee, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

O'Hoppe has been sidelined with a concussion since Monday and is reportedly feeling better. It's unclear if he'll be activated for the start of the series against the Brewers when first eligible Tuesday, but his absence should be relatively brief.

Rengifo will start at second base and bat sixth against the Mariners on Thursday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Rengifo was originally slated to have a day off Thursday withChris Taylor manning the keystone. However, Taylor will now be sent to right field to cover for a scratched Jo Adell (illness), and Rengifo will start at second base. The 28-year-old owns a .577 OPS since the start of September and has logged just two hits in his last five games.

Adell (illness) was scratched from the lineup ahead of Thursday's game against the Mariners, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Adell returned to action Wednesday after missing two games due to vertigo, but renewed symptoms will force him to miss Thursday's contest as well. Chris Taylor will move to right field to cover for Adell, and Luis Rengifo will enter the lineup to start at second base.

The Blue Jays reinstated Manoah (elbow) from the 60-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday.

The Blue Jays have five starters that are healthy in their rotation as of Thursday, and Manoah will not be joining them as a sixth man at this time. If he does not rejoin the big-league club in 2025, he should have a path back into the rotation in 2026 with Shane Bieber holding a player option while Max Scherzer and Chris Bassitt are set to become free agents. Manoah had a 3.09 ERA with a 18:12 K:BB in 23.1 innings across five games for Triple-A Buffalo during his rehab assignment, which is where he is set to continue to pitch. In a corresponding move, the Blue Jays designated Orelvis Martinez (undisclosed) for assignment Thursday.

Rengifo isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mariners, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

The Halos will give Rengifo a day off after the 28-year-old went 2-for-16 with three RBI over his last five games. Chris Taylor will man the keystone instead Thursday and bat sixth.

Peraza isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Mariners, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Peraza will receive a day to recollect himself Thursday after beginning September with a .572 OPS through 10 games. His absence will open a spot in the lineup for Logan Davidson to step in as Los Angeles' first baseman and bat eighth.
