Rodriguez (5-1) took the loss Wednesday as the Red Sox were downed 4-1 by the A's, giving up four runs on seven hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out a season-high nine.

The southpaw didn't get enough run support to survive his mistakes, including a Matt Olson solo shot in the sixth inning. Rodriguez tossed 63 of 99 pitches for strikes, and he'll take a 4.15 ERA and 42:7 K:BB through 39 innings into his next outing.

Kaprielian (1-0) picked up the win Wednesday, allowing one run on four hits and three walks over five innings in a 4-1 victory over the Red Sox. He struck out six.

The right-hander recorded his first major-league win in his first major-league start, throwing 58 of 95 pitches for strikes before exiting. Kaprielian could get a long look in the rotation with neither Jesus Luzardo (finger) nor Mike Fiers (elbow) expected back before the end of the month.

Ryu (3-2) allowed one earned run on five hits and one walk while striking out six across seven innings to earn the win Wednesday win over Atlanta.

Ryu cruised through the Atlanta lineup, with the only blemish coming on a solo home run by William Contreras. He was efficient with his pitches, throwing 63 strikes on 94 total pitches while also completing more than six innings for the third time this season. Ryu now has a 2.95 ERA with a 38:5 K:BB across 39.2 innings, and he is currently lined up to draw his next start Tuesday against Boston.

Heaney (1-3) allowed five earned runs on nine hits while striking out five across 5.1 innings to take the loss to the Astros on Wednesday.

Heaney was lit up for three home runs on Wednesday. Jose Altuve hit one off the foul pole on the first pitch of the game and things never got better for Heaney. The 30-year-old is very inconsistent this season, with his outings performances ranging from a 10-strikeout scoreless effort to efforts like Wednesday. His 12.3 K/9 is fourth highest in the American League, but he also carries a 4.75 ERA through 36 innings.

Mize (2-3) allowed two runs on three hits across six innings to earn the win Wednesday against Kansas City. He walked two and struck out four.

The Tigers are just 12-24, but Mize has been holding his own lately. The 24-year-old has now logged three straight quality starts, though this was the first time he got a win for his efforts during the stretch. Mize has used the good run to lower his season ERA to 4.19 through seven starts, which is a nice sign of progress after he posted a 6.99 ERA across the same number of outings in his 2020 rookie campaign. He'll look to keep posting strong results his next time out Monday against the Mariners.

Urquidy was removed from Wednesday's start against the Angels with posterior shoulder discomfort, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

The 26-year-old is considered day-to-day after being limited to 3.2 innings Wednesday due to the injury. Urquidy's next turn through the rotation lines up for Tuesday at Oakland, and it's unclear if he'll be able to take the mound for that contest.

Urquidy was removed from Wednesday's start against the Angels with an apparent injury, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

The right-hander showcased a slight decrease in velocity during the fourth inning before being visited by the athletic trainer and leaving the field. Urquidy had four strikeouts and didn't give up a run over 3.2 innings before being lifted.

Wells pitched two scoreless innings with one walk and no strikeouts in Wednesday's 7-1 loss to the Mets.

Wells entered in the seventh inning of a lopsided game, but he kept it from getting any worse. The 26-year-old has a 5.40 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 15:6 K:BB across 15 innings in nine appearances. This was just the third time this season Wells has kept runs off the board -- he's likely to continue in a low-leverage role.

Rodon was pushed back from starting Thursday due to back and hamstring tightness, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

The 28-year-old is now scheduled to start Saturday, so the back and hamstring issues don't appear to be serious concerns. Rodon doesn't appear to be in danger of missing a start, but it's worth keeping an eye on his status over the next couple days.

Gilbert will be called up by the Mariners to start Thursday's game against Cleveland, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Gilbert will make his major-league debut after he made just one appearance for Triple-A Tacoma to begin the season. During that outing, he gave up a run on four hits and no walks while striking out five in five innings. Assuming he pitches well Thursday, Gilbert could remain in the Mariners' six-man rotation going forward, especially while Marco Gonzales (forearm), Nick Margevicius (shoulder) and Ljay Newsome (elbow) are sidelined.
