Matt Manning SP | PHI
Tigers' Matt Manning: Confirmed for Wednesday's start
Manning was recalled from Triple-A Toledo and will start Wednesday's game against the Rangers, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
The right-hander was sent to the minors prior to the All-Star break and will rejoin the big-league rotation Wednesday. Manning has a 6.95 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 9:8 K:BB across 22 innings through his first five starts in the majors, though a nine-run blowup versus Cleveland accounts for most of the damage against him.

Tarik Skubal SP | LAD
Tigers' Tarik Skubal: Picks up sixth win
Skubal (6-8) allowed one run on four hits while striking out four over six innings, getting the win in Detroit's 4-1 victory over Texas on Tuesday night.
Skubal looked like he was headed for a rough night after allowing a double and a single in the first inning, however the Tigers were able to nab Rangers left fielder Eli White on an attempted steal of home to get the young left-hander out of the inning. From that point forward, Skubal allowed just two more hits over the course of a stellar six-inning outing. While the four strikeouts are a little disappointing, the Seattle University product didn't walk a batter for the first time since April 25. His next start will likely come Sunday against the Royals.

Marco Gonzales RP | TEX
Mariners' Marco Gonzales: Earns second win
Gonzales (2-5) allowed two earned runs on six hits and three walks while striking out three across five innings to earn the win Tuesday against the Rockies.
Gonzales held the Mariners scoreless through four innings but surrendered a two-run home run to Connor Joe in the fifth frame. Those were the only runs Gonzales surrendered, though he regularly was forced to work out of trouble as he allowed multiple baserunners in three of his five innings. Even so, it was a successful outing for Gonzales, and he has now thrown at least five innings and surrendered three earned runs or fewer in four of his last five starts. For the season, he has a 5.69 ERA with a 52:24 K:BB across 61.2 innings.

Dane Dunning SP | SEA
Rangers' Dane Dunning: Allows three runs in loss
Dunning (3-7) allowed three runs on four hits and one walk with two strikeouts through 4.2 innings in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Tigers.
In his final start before the All-Star break, Dunning mowed down the Tigers, allowing just one run while striking out six in a 10-5 Texas victory. It was a different story Tuesday night. Dunning gave up home runs to Robbie Grossman and Eric Haase and could only manage two strikeouts, his lowest total since April 23.

Clarke Schmidt RP | NYY
Yankees' Clarke Schmidt: Sim game on tap
Schmidt (elbow) is scheduled to throw a simulated game Wednesday, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.
The 25-year-old has been throwing off a mound for the past few weeks, and he's now been cleared to face live hitters. Schmidt hasn't pitched this season while recovering from an elbow strain he suffered in spring training, so he's likely still a ways off from potentially rejoining the Yankees as he builds his arm back up.

Tanner Houck SP | BOS
Red Sox's Tanner Houck: Won't start Wednesday
Houck won't start Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.
The young righty was expected to start Wednesday's series finale, but Garrett Richards will instead take the mound after Tuesday's contest was postponed. Houck should start again at some point for the Red Sox this season, though for now it appears he'll continue working out of the bullpen.

James Kaprielian SP | TOR
Athletics' James Kaprielian: Blanks Angels through six
Kaprielian (5-3) earned the win Tuesday after holding the Angels scoreless across six frames. He allowed five hits and a pair of walks while striking out seven.
The 27-year-old has now tossed at least five innings in eight straight starts, and he's given up three or fewer runs in each of those outings. Thanks to his recent success, the right-hander has compiled a 2.65 ERA and 1.12 WHIP across 68 innings this season. It's unclear how the A's intend to handle his workload, as Kaprielian has now matched his highest innings total in pro ball, which came in 2019 following Tommy John surgery.

Jose Suarez RP | ATH
Angels' Jose Suarez: Tagged for four runs
Suarez (4-3) was charged with the loss against the A's on Tuesday after allowing four runs on three hits and a walk while striking out four across 5.2 innings.
Suarez held the A's to a single run across the first five frames, which came on a solo homer by Matt Olson. The southpaw eventually unraveled in the sixth, allowing three more runs, including a two-run double by Ramon Laureano. The 23-year-old didn't quite stretch out as far as the season-high 88 pitches from his last outing; he tossed 73 (with 49 strikes) this time around. Suarez will take a 2.85 ERA and 1.12 WHIP into his next projected start Monday against Colorado.

Justin Dunn RP | CHW
Mariners' Justin Dunn: Close to throwing off mound
Dunn (shoulder) will resume throwing off a mound in approximately five days, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Dunn has been sidelined since mid-June with a right shoulder strain. He began a throwing program in early July and is now close to tossing a bullpen session. If all goes well in his initial sessions throwing off the mound, the next step for the right-hander figures to be a minor-league rehab assignment.

Alek Manoah RP | LAA
Blue Jays' Alek Manoah: Only expected to miss one start
Manoah (back) is only expected to miss one turn in the rotation, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Manoah hit the injured list Monday with a bruised back that he suffered after slipping on the dugout steps. He felt fine after playing catch, so he should be ready to return after a minimum-length stay. Thomas Hatch will start in his absence Tuesday against the Red Sox.
