Hill (1-1) allowed four runs on four hits and three walks while striking out one over 2.2 innings in a loss to the Brewers on Wednesday.

Shoulder fatigue pushed Hill to the injured list after one start. The Twins were hoping he could give them some length despite the missed time. "We're hoping he goes out and pitches like he normally would and gets us into the middle of the game," manager Rocco Baldelli told the Minneapolis Star Tribune prior to Wednesday's contest, "and hopefully we can win the game because he's pitched well and gotten us to that point." As it turned out, Hill couldn't get out of the third and was pulled after 53 pitches, although there has been no mention of a setback with the shoulder. The lefty lines up for road starts in Cleveland and Detroit next week.

Dunning pitched 4.1 innings, allowing three runs on five hits and a walk with seven strikeouts in a no-decision versus the Tigers on Wednesday.

All of the damage against Dunning came on a Jeimer Candelario three-run blast in the fifth inning, which ended the righty's major-league debut. Dunning had a 2.76 ERA and 1.29 WHIP in 62 innings in 2018 before he underwent Tommy John surgery. The White Sox have days off next Monday and Thursday, so they may be able to get by with a four-man rotation, making it unclear when Dunning's next start will come.

Cole allowed two earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out 10 across 6.2 innings Wednesday against the Rays. He did not factor into the decision.

Cole surrendered a pair of solo home runs, but looked dominant otherwise. He racked up 22 called strikes and 19 swinging strikes on 109 total pitches, allowing him to rack up double-digit punchouts for the second time this season. Cole now owns a 2.75 ERA with a 44:6 K:BB ratio across 36 innings. He's penciled in to draw his next start Tuesday at Atlanta.

Mize allowed three earned runs on seven hits across 4.1 innings in a no-decision Wednesday against the White Sox. He struck out seven and did not issue any walks.

Mize's MLB debut was a mixed bag. He exhibited excellent command in not walking anyone, and the seven strikeouts showcased how filthy his stuff can be. However, the rookie was also plenty hittable at times. He allowed a solo home run to Edwin Encarnacion in the second inning, then couldn't escape the fifth when he gave up a double and two singles before getting pulled with one out and having tossed 73 pitches. The 9-13 Tigers seem to be fading out of contention, so they'll probably keep Mize in the rotation and let him pick up valuable MLB experience, even if he has some hiccups in the early going. The 23-year-old is in line to take the mound again Monday against the Cubs.

Glasnow allowed two earned runs on two hits and three walks while striking out eight across 5.2 innings Wednesday against the Yankees. He did not factor into the decision.

Glasnow turned in his longest start of the season, needing 88 pitches to retire 17 hitters. The major damage against him came on a solo home run by Luke Voit in the third inning, though Glasnow largely stymied the Yankees' lineup on the strength of 23 called strikes and nine swinging strikes. Walks were still a problem for Glasnow, and he now owns a 5.6 BB/9 for the season. Still, he'll look to build on this relatively positive outing in his next start, currently projected to come Monday against Toronto.

Civale (3-2) allowed one earned run on five hits and no walks while striking out six across nine innings to earn the win Wednesday against the Pirates.

Civale carried a shutout into the ninth inning, but allowed a leadoff double which resulted in the only run against him. He was dominant otherwise, recording 21 called strikes and 15 swinging strikes across 109 total pitches. Not only does Civale now have a 2.91 ERA across 34 innings this season, but he's worked at least six innings in all five of his starts. He'll look to continue his breakout campaign in his next outing, currently projected to to come Monday against Minnesota.

Manager Joe Maddon announced Wednesday that Teheran will move to the bullpen, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

The writing was on the wall as the veteran right-hander wasn't listed as the probable starter for his next turn through the rotation, and Maddon made it official before Wednesday's game. Teheran had a late start to the season after missing much of summer camp due to COVID-19, and he posted a 12.38 ERA and 2.25 WHIP in three starts (eight innings). The team hasn't indicated who is expected to take his spot in the starting rotation.

Keller (3-0) allowed three hits over 6.2 scoreless in a win over the Reds in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader. He struck out five and walked three.

Keller's ERA remains spotless; he's now up to 17.2 scoreless innings on the season. He was locating his slider down Wednesday, took a no-hitter into the sixth and nearly went the distance in this seven-inning game. Keller should probably be picked up in any leagues in which he's still available. The righty lines up for two road starts next week, first in St. Louis before an interdivisional matchup against Chicago.

Teheran isn't scheduled to start any of the Angels' next five games, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

The veteran right-hander lined up to start Friday in Oakland after surrendering four runs over 3.1 innings to the Dodgers last Sunday, but he's not listed as a probable starter for the weekend series against the A's. Teheran missed most of summer camp after testing positive for COVID-19, and through his first three starts he's covered only eight innings and has a 12.38 ERA and 2.25 WHIP. It remains unclear when he'll next take the mound for the Halos.

Chirinos was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right elbow strain Wednesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Chirinos was activated from the 10-day injured list Sunday after he was sidelined with right triceps inflammation, but he'll miss at least another 10 days as a result of a right elbow strain. It's unclear when he could be ready to return to the mound. Right-hander Aaron Slegers was recalled by the Rays in a corresponding move.
