Chargois did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing one run on two hits and zero walks over one inning against the Blue Jays. He struck out one.

Chargois gave up a leadoff triple to George Springer to start the game, who then came around to score on a Bo Bichette double two batters later. Fortunately, the right-hander managed to escape the inning without allowing any further damage before making way for Ryan Yarbrough in the second inning. Chargois had not allowed a run in five straight contests coming into Thursday's matchup.

Clase earned a save against the White Sox on Thursday, striking out one batter in a perfect inning.

Cleveland carried a two-run lead into the ninth frame and, as expected, handed the ball to Clase. The right-hander needed just 12 pitches (eight of which were strikes) to set down the side in order. Clase has picked up seven saves in nine chances in September and leads the league with 37 saves overall this season.

White will be called up from Triple-A Buffalo to start Friday against the Rays, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

The 27-year-old pitched for Buffalo on Sunday and will rejoin the big club to start Friday in Tampa Bay. White had a 3.70 ERA over 56 innings with the Dodgers to begin the season, but he's struggled since being acquired by the Blue Jays with 26 earned runs allowed in 31.1 frames.

Leclerc allowed a hit but struck out the side to earn the save Thursday against the Angels.

Leclerc allowed a one-out double but still recorded his seventh save of the season with relative ease. Since Aug. 7, the last time any other Ranger received a save, Leclerc has maintained a 1.93 ERA with a 28:7 K:BB across 18.2 innings. He should remain a relatively consistent source of saves to close the campaign.

Manager Kevin Cash said after Thursday's win over the Blue Jays that Yarbrough may have suffered a strained right oblique, and it's "highly likely" the left-hander will be placed on the 15-day injured list, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Yarbrough followed an opener Thursday and allowed two runs in one inning before he exited with the injury, though he still ended up picking up his third win of the year. Assuming he moves to the injured list as expected, the 30-year-old will miss the rest of the regular season and will be eligible to return early in the playoffs.

Heasley (4-8) allowed one earned run on two hits and two walks while striking out three across six innings to earn the win Thursday against the Twins.

Heasley got 11 flyball outs and successfully kept the ball in the yard to turn in his second consecutive quality start. Since being recalled from Triple-A Omaha on Aug. 9, Heasley has maintained an impressive 3.26 ERA. However, that has come with a 24:16 K:BB across 38.2 frames. Despite the strong results of late, Heasley owns only a 4.87 ERA across 94.1 innings for the season.

Winder (4-5) allowed three earned runs on six hits and a walk while striking out four across six innings to take the loss Thursday against the Royals.

Winder served up a pair of solo home runs but still managed to turn in a quality start. In three starts since being recalled by the Twins, Winder has maintained a 5.53 ERA with a 10:3 K:BB across 14.2 innings. Overall, he has a 4.20 ERA in 50 frames on the campaign while serving as a swingman with the Twins.

Yarbrough was diagnosed with right side discomfort after he left Thursday's game against the Blue Jays, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

Yarbrough pitched behind an opener and gave up two runs over one inning before he exited the contest. The severity of the injury remains unclear, but the possibility of an oblique injury looms large on the left-hander's availability for Tampa Bay's playoff push.

Yarbrough was removed from Thursday's game against the Blue Jays with an apparent injury, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The left-hander followed opener JT Chargois and allowed a pair of solo homers during the second inning, and he was lifted after initially taking the mound for the third frame. The 30-year-old should be considered day-to-day until more information is available on the injury.

Martinez allowed five runs on six hits and two walks while striking out seven across five innings during a 9-5 loss Thursday against Seattle. He did not factor into the decision.

Six of the first seven batters Martinez faced Thursday reached safely, leading to three runs. He then retired 13 of the next 14 batters with the lone hit being a solo homer by Jarred Kelenic in the fourth. The 25-year-old righty has been shelled in each of his last three starts, allowing 16 runs and six homers over 13.2 innings and watching his season ERA rise from 4.37 to 6.10.
