Lynch (4-12) allowed two earned runs on five hits and one walk while striking out four across six innings to take the loss Wednesday against the Tigers.

Lynch managed to complete six innings for only the fourth time this season, and for the first time since Aug. 17 -- a span of six starts. He tallied 13 swinging strikes on 101 total pitches, and his only blemish came on a two-run home run by Miguel Cabrera in the first inning. Lynch owns a 4.96 ERA and a 120:50 K:BB across 127 frames for the campaign.

McKenzie allowed one earned run on three hits and a walk while striking out six across six innings Wednesday against the Rays. He did not factor into the decision.

McKenzie allowed his lone run of the night in the second inning but surrendered only a bunt single across his final four frames. He has now turned in four consecutive quality starts, allowing only six earned runs across 28 innings while posting a 32:3 K:BB in that span. For the season, McKenzie owns a 2.99 ERA with 186 strikeouts across 186.1 frames.

Glasnow (elbow) allowed one earned run on two hits and a walk while striking out three across three innings Wednesday against the Guardians. He did not factor into the decision.

Glasnow made his first appearance of 2022 after recovering from Tommy John surgery and threw 50 pitches. He maxed out at 99.4 mph on his fastball and averaged 98.1 mph -- which would be his highest velocity across an entire season. Glasnow lines up to make another start prior to the close of the regular season and figures to serve a prominent role in the Rays' postseason run.

Seabold was optioned to Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

Seabold has thrown 18.1 innings over five starts for Boston this season, and he's put up a less-than-spectacular 11.29 ERA and 2.35 WHIP in the process. Those numbers drop to a much more respectable 3.32 ERA and 1.14 WHIP in Triple-A, but he has yet to put things together in the majors. His departure opens a spot the roster, which will almost certainly be filled by Nathan Eovaldi (shoulder) when he comes off the injured list.

Cole (13-7) earned the win Wednesday, allowing three runs on three hits and one walk with four punchouts over 6.1 innings against the Blue Jays.

Cole was perfect through five innings Wednesday but ran into trouble in the sixth inning. Danny Jansen led off the frame with a home run; Whit Merrifield followed with a base hit and Jackie Bradley Jr reached based on a walk, both of whom came around to score and tie the game at 3-3. Despite the hiccup, Cole recorded his first quality start since Sept. 7. He has struggled with the long ball recently, allowing at least one homer in each of his last seven appearances. He will take a 3.51 ERA into his next start.

Kremer (8-6) took the loss against Boston on Wednesday, allowing three runs on six hits and four walks with two strikeouts over five innings.

Kremer was not at his best Wednesday, as he needed 95 pitches to get through five innings. He was all over the place, as he threw only 53 strikes and allowed four free passes, the second time he has surpassed that mark in his last three starts after allowing no more than three in any other start this season. Despite the inefficiency on the night, he still owns a solid 3.17 ERA and will try to get back on track in his next start, tentatively scheduled for next week against Toronto.

Hill (8-7) earned the win Wednesday, allowing no runs on five hits and one walk with nine strikeouts over six innings against the Orioles.

The 42-year-old turned back the clock Wednesday as he fired six masterful innings. His nine punchouts were his second highest of the season, and the quality start his first since Aug. 27. The strong outing lowered Hill's ERA to 4.41 on the season, which would be his highest since 2013. He lines up to face Tampa Bay next week in his final start of the season.

Recent tests showed Manning to be dealing with fatigue and tendinitis in his arm, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Manning's injury this late in the season virtually guarantees he will not pitch again this year. The 24-year-old righty will finish the season with a 2-3 record alongside a 3.43 ERA and 1.17 WHIP over 63 innings.

Manning experienced some fatigue in his arm while warming up for his scheduled start Wednesday against Kansas City.

The nature of Manning's injury is now confirmed, and the decision to scratch him from Wednesday's game was made as a precaution. Further details will be provided once the Tigers are able to evaluate him after the game.

Manning didn't start as expected Wednesday against the Royals, as Will Vest instead took the mound for the Tigers, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Manning was confirmed as Wednesday's starter and went through his usual pregame work, but he didn't take the mound for the opening frame. It's unclear if the 24-year-old is dealing with some sort of injury, but Detroit should update his status in the near future.
