Tigers' Spencer Turnbull: Placed on 10-day IL
Turnbull was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right forearm strain Saturday.
Turnbull sustained his injury during Friday's start against the White Sox and was removed after just four innings. Manager A.J. Hinch was encouraged by the right-hander's initial test results and said that the issue appears to be muscular rather than structural. Right-hander Bryan Garcia was called up in a corresponding move, and the Tigers haven't yet announced who will take Turnbull's place in the rotation while he's sidelined.

Rangers' Kyle Gibson: Wins on pitch limit
Gibson (4-0) earned the win Friday, giving up five hits while striking out five without walking a batter over 5.1 scoreless innings against Tampa Bay.
Gibson was activated off the injured list Friday and was on a pitch limit, per Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports. The right-hander threw 73 pitches, which is a bit more than the trainers recommended. The Rangers' ace lines up to pitch next Friday, kicking off a road trip against the Dodgers.

Lance Lynn SP | STL
White Sox's Lance Lynn: Felt tightness in last outing
Lynn said he felt tightness at the end of Thursday's outing, but he should be able to make his next start, Brian Sandalow of the Chicago Sun-Times reports
White Sox manager Tony La Russa said Lynn "had a couple of areas that were barking a little bit," which is why he departed after six innings and 89 pitches -- low numbers for the workhorse starter. Lynn, who sports a sterling 1.23 ERA through 10 starts, appears likely to next pitch Wednesday against the Blue Jays.

Dallas Keuchel SP | MIL
White Sox's Dallas Keuchel: Bullpen squanders win
Keuchel allowed two runs (one earned) on five hits and one walk while striking out three over six innings, picking up a no-decision in Friday's 9-8 win over Detroit.
Keuchel cruised through his six innings and left the game with a 7-2 lead after just 80 pitches. Chicago's 2020 bullpen could have held that lead, but the bullpen has not been the same in 2021. Codi Heuer and Evan Marshall conspired to give up six runs in the top of the seventh inning, negating what would have been Keuchel's fifth win. The left-hander is on schedule for his next start Thursday at home against the Blue Jays.

Frankie Montas RP | NYM
Athletics' Frankie Montas: Earns win Friday
Montas (6-5) notched the win against Colorado on Friday, pitching five innings and allowing three runs on six hits and one walk while striking out two.
The right-hander was staked to an early 6-0 lead and pitched just long enough to secure his sixth win. Montas yielded a trio of runs between the third and fourth innings and threw 48 of 69 pitches for strikes on the night. The victory snapped a three-game losing streak for Montas, though his two strikeouts Friday were a season low. He'll carry a 4.52 ERA into his next start, which is tentatively scheduled to come at home against Kansas City on Thursday.

Hyun-Jin Ryu SP | TOR
Blue Jays' Hyun Jin Ryu: Hit hard Friday
Ryu (5-3) allowed seven runs (six earned) on seven hits and three walks with one strikeout in 5.2 innings. He took the loss Friday versus Houston.
The game was scoreless through three innings before Houston's offense found a groove. Ryu limited the damage to three runs in five innings, but a Martin Maldonado grand slam in the sixth was enough to end the southpaw's night. The 34-year-old has a 3.23 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 59:11 K:BB across 64 innings. He'll look to bounce back next week versus the White Sox.

Zack Greinke SP | KC
Astros' Zack Greinke: Goes distance in win
Greinke (6-2) tossed a complete game Friday, allowing one run on six hits and a walk with three strikeouts to earn the win over Toronto.
The only blemish on Greinke's line with a seventh-inning solo home run from Randal Grichuk. The right-hander has logged eight or more innings in three of his last four starts. He's pitched to a 3.38 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 60:16 K:BB across 82.2 innings overall. Greinke lines up for a tough matchup in Boston next week.

Nathan Eovaldi SP | TEX
Red Sox's Nathan Eovaldi: Picks up third straight win
Eovaldi (7-2) allowed two runs (one earned) on eight hits and no walks while striking out seven in six innings to earn the win against the Yankees on Friday.
Eovaldi has now picked up wins in each of his last three outings, and he helped lead the Red Sox to an elusive win at Yankee Stadium on Friday. He allowed plenty of baserunners in Friday's matchup, but he was able to hold the Yankees in check on the scoreboard. Across his last three starts, the right-hander has allowed four runs (three earned) on 17 hits and three walks while striking out 18 in 16.2 innings. He tentatively lines up to make his next start at home against the Astros on Wednesday.

Spencer Turnbull RP | TOR
Tigers' Spencer Turnbull: Initial results encouraging
Turnbull's forearm injury may be simply a muscle strain and not structural, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
Turnbull was removed from Friday's start against the White Sox due to right forearm tightness. He'll be further examined in the coming days, but manager A.J. Hinch is optimistic about the right-hander's status going forward. If Turnbull is available for his next turn through the rotation, he tentatively lines up to make his next start at home against the Mariners on Thursday.

Tigers' Spencer Turnbull: Dealing with right forearm injury
Turnbull was removed from Friday's game against the White Sox due to right forearm tightness.
Turnbull lasted four innings in Friday's matchup, but he visited with trainers in the dugout after his final out and was replaced to begin the fifth frame. Prior to his departure, he allowed one run on two hits and no walks while striking out four. It's not yet clear whether the right-hander will be forced to miss additional time.
