Giolito allowed four runs (two earned) on four hits and one walk while striking out eight over five innings in a no-decision against the Twins on Monday.

Giolito was less sharp Monday, working on an extra day of rest, following his no-hitter last Tuesday. The five innings were a grind for the right-hander, who needed 94 pitches to get 15 outs, but he was picked up by one of the league's most prolific offenses. Over his last three starts, Giolito has allowed two earned runs while fanning 34 over 21 innings. His next start comes Saturday on the road against the Royals.

Rodon (shoulder) threw a 60-pitch, three-inning bullpen session Sunday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

That the White Sox didn't make any major moves at the trade deadline suggests they are confident Rodon can return soon. The left-hander was pulled after his second start this season with shoulder soreness.

Gonzales (4-2) picked up the win Monday against the Angels, allowing one run on four hits and a walk while tossing his second career complete game. He struck out seven.

Gonzales fell behind 1-0 after allowing a solo homer to Justin Upton in the second inning, but that would be all the Angels could muster off the southpaw. The 28-year-old allowed just two hits across his final seven innings and the Mariners plated a pair of runs to get him his fourth win. The gem has Gonzales's ERA down to a strong 3.09 to go along with 39 strikeouts on the campaign. Seattle's pitching plans aren't clear at the moment, with the first two games of their scheduled series against Oakland being postponed. That being said, the lefty figures to take the ball some time during the weekend series against Texas.

Bieber pitched six scoreless innings, allowing just one hit and four walks while striking out nine versus the Royals on Monday. He did not factor in the decision.

Bieber was fantastic and Cleveland's offense scraped together a run in the seventh inning to put him in line for the win. James Karinchak dashed those hopes in the eighth, allowing a pair of runs as Cleveland went on to lose the contest. It's just the second time in eight starts Bieber hasn't gotten a win. The right-hander has a 1.20 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 84 strikeouts across 52.2 innings this year, to go with a perfect 6-0 record. His next start lines up for Sunday versus the Brewers.

Anderson allowed a run on three hits while fanning eight across five innings pitched in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Orioles. He did not factor in the decision and did not issue a walk.

The Jays were careful with Anderson once again, pulling him after five innings and 84 pitches despite the right-hander appearing to be in full control. The 32-year-old's eight strikeouts shattered his previous season high of three. He was in line to pick up his first win after Toronto took a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the fifth, but had to settle for his fifth consecutive no-decision after the Orioles tied the game in the sixth. Nonetheless, it was Anderson's best start of the season and he will look to keep his momentum going Sunday in Boston.

Keller allowed a run on three hits and a walk while striking out four over 6.1 innings but didn't factor in the decision Monday versus Cleveland.

Keller dueled well with Cleveland starter Shane Bieber, but the former didn't get any run support while he was on the mound. The Royals rallied for a pair of runs in the eighth to get their starter off the hook. The 25-year-old Keller has a 1.93 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 23:12 K:BB through 28 innings across five starts. He's allowed one run or fewer in four of his outings. The right-hander will look to stay strong versus the White Sox over the weekend.

Cole (4-2) took the loss Monday as the Yankees fell 5-3 to the Rays, giving up four runs on eight hits and four walks over five innings. He struck out seven.

The right-hander labored early before settling down, and Cole ended up needing 103 pitches (65 strikes) to record his 15 outs. Homers continue to plague him -- he's given up multiple long balls in each of his last three starts, and at least one home run in every start to begin 2020. Cole will carry a 3.91 ERA, but a still impressive 60:12 K:BB through 46 innings, into his next outing Saturday in Baltimore.

Glasnow (2-1) picked up the win Monday, allowing two hits and a walk over six scoreless innings in a 5-3 victory over the Yankees. He struck out nine.

The right-hander didn't give up a hit until his final inning of work, and even then Willy Adames nearly made a spectacular play in the hole to throw out DJ LeMahieu and keep the no-no alive. Glasnow tossed 55 of 87 pitches for strikes, and over his last three starts he's posted a stellar 1.93 ERA, 0.75 WHIP and 30:5 K:BB through 18.2 innings. He'll look to keep rolling in his next outing at home against the Marlins.

Lyles will follow opener Luis Garcia in Tuesday's game against the Astros, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Lyles was originally slated to start last Thursday against Oakland, but with that game being postponed, the right-hander has not pitched since Aug. 22. He will be somewhat dependent on Garcia holding his own early in the game, but this could allow Lyles to qualify for and pick up his second win of the campaign.

Cortes (elbow) was transferred to the 45-day injured list Monday.

Cortes has been on the injured list since Aug. 15 with a left elbow impingement, and he should miss the remainder of the regular season as a result of the injury. The southpaw made five appearances (one start) for the Mariners this year, posting a 15.26 ERA and 2.35 WHIP over 7.2 innings.
