Pruitt registered a no-decision during Friday's 5-3 loss to the White Sox, striking out two without allowing a hit, walk or run in five innings.

Making his first start of the season in place of James Kaprielian (finger), Pruitt entirely shut down Chicago's offense with two errors accounting for the only baserunners against him. He fired 41 of 55 pitches for strikes with 10 of the swinging variety and was in line for the win until the Oakland bullpen surrendered five runs in the ninth inning. Pruitt possesses a 4.24 ERA and 1.03 WHIP across 46.2 innings and may have earned another turn through the rotation with the excellent performance.

Reed (2-0) pitched 1.1 perfect innings to earn the win Friday over the Red Sox.

Reed ended a threat from the Red Sox in the sixth inning with a double play and got the first two outs of the seventh. He's covered two scoreless innings since joining the Orioles after he was claimed off waivers from the Dodgers. Reed now has a 6.08 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 10:7 K:BB through 13.1 innings on the year, though he's been more effective since moving on from the Mets, where he started the season.

Hendriks saved Friday's 5-3 win against the Athletics, walking and striking out one in a scoreless ninth inning.

Hendriks entered in the ninth inning to protect a two-run lead and issued a leadoff walk before inducing a strikeout and game-ending double play. Aside from a blown save Aug. 25, the 33-year-old has avoided a poor mark since July 23, allowing seven earned runs in 18.1 innings during the stretch. Hendrik's 32 saves place one behind league-leader Kenley Jansen.

Hughes allowed one hit and struck out one over 1.1 scoreless innings while earning a save against the Giants.

Hughes tossed 14 of 21 pitches for strikes to pick up his first save since Aug. 23. He lowered his season ERA to 3.17 alongside a 61:16 K:BB through 46 appearances in his rookie campaign. The 26-year-old southpaw has now converted four of his eight save chances.

Voth allowed two runs on five hits and two walks over four innings against Boston on Friday. He struck out five and did not factor in the decision.

Voth was in line for the loss before the Orioles came back and secured the win Friday. The only damage against him came on Xander Bogaerts' two-run shot in the third frame. Voth has now given up two or fewer runs in six straight starts and 10 of his last 11. Over that 11-game span, he's sporting a strong 2.49 ERA and 45:15 K:BB. Voth is lined up to start in Toronto next week.

Tate allowed one hit and struck out one over 1.1 scoreless innings while earning a save over Boston on Friday.

Tate needed just 15 pitches (12 strikes) to record the final four outs of Friday's 3-2 victory. It was his first save since Aug. 26 after he earned a win in each of his last two outings. Tate is now sporting a 2.66 ERA with a 55:10 K:BB through 58 appearances. Felix Bautista (arm) was not available Friday and Tate could be in line for more ninth-inning work should Bautista miss any additional time.

Bautista was unavailable for Friday's game due to arm fatigue, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

The Orioles held a one-run lead in the ninth inning Friday and Bautista had not pitched in three days, but Dillon Tate still received the save opportunity instead of the team's regular closer. Bautista's injury does not sound serious, but it's unclear when he will be available next.

Dominguez (triceps) will be activated from the injured list Sunday, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Dominguez had a shot to return Saturday, but he will not have to wait long beyond that. He figures to be back in the mix for saves right away, particularly with several of his fellow relievers giving up runs in recent outings.

Graterol (elbow) will throw a bullpen session Sunday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

It was reported earlier this week that Graterol was on the verge of throwing off a mound, and he will indeed just do that this weekend. There remains a chance he could return to action Sept. 16 when first eligible.

Almonte (elbow) threw a bullpen session Friday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Almonte has made good progress in recent weeks, and he has not encountered any issues since getting back on the bump. It remains to be seen what the next step in his recovery will be, but it might not be long before he is back with the big club.
