Eovaldi (2-1) took the loss after yielding three runs on three hits and four walks while striking out three over five innings Friday night against the Orioles.

Eovaldi gave up all three runs in the third inning on a three-run blast to left field, and the Orioles would go on to win 4-1. The 29-year-old's season is likely over with just two games remaining in the regular season, and he'll finish with a 5.99 ERA and 1.58 WHIP with 70 strikeouts across 67.2 frames.

Glasnow surrendered two walks and struck out four over 4.1 scoreless innings Friday night against the Blue Jays. He didn't factor into the decision.

Glasnow would depart with a three-run lead, and the Rays would go on to clinch a postseason berth with a 6-2 victory. The 26-year-old right-hander has been stellar on the hill of late, as he's now tossed 10.1 scoreless frames over his last three outings. Glasnow owns a 1.78 ERA and 0.89 WHIP with a 76:14 K:BB over 60.2 innings this season.

Paxton was removed after one inning Friday against Texas due to a left tight glute, Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News reports. He gave up two runs on three hits and struck out one before exiting.

Paxton struggled early in his outing, and he was removed as a precaution after experiencing glute tightness. The southpaw wanted to continue pitching, but the Yankees shut him down for the night with the postseason approaching. He'll be considered day-to-day moving forward and likely won't take the mound again until the playoffs.

Luzardo struck out three over two perfect innings to earn his second hold in a win over the Mariners on Thursday.

The left-handed phenom breezed through his pair of frames on 22 pitches, recording multiple strikeouts for the fifth time in as many big-league appearances. Thursday saw Luzardo take the hill with the shortest amount of time between appearances yet, as he'd just logged an inning (20 pitches) against the Angels on Tuesday. It also marked his return to multi-inning work following back-to-back single-frame turns. Factoring in the unblemished performance against Seattle, Luzardo now has a 1.80 ERA, 0.70 WHIP, 13:3 K:BB, one save and two holds across his first 10 big-league innings.

Odorizzi (hamstring) is listed as Sunday's starter against the Royals.

Odorizzi left his last start with a tight left hamstring, but he was already at 93 pitches so it seemed like more of a precaution than a notable injury. This game won't mean anything for the Twins, so while it makes sense to keep Odorizzi on turn and pitching in a competitive setting, his workload will likely be managed carefully in the final game of the regular season. He will line up to start Game 2 of the ALDS (likely against the Yankees) on Oct. 5 on an extra day's rest.

Miley did not factor in the decision against the Angels on Thursday, tossing four innings and giving up three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out a pair.

Miley labored in four innings of work, needing 93 pitches -- only 54 of which were thrown for strikes -- to retire 12 batters. He pitched from behind throughout most of the appearance, firing first-pitch balls to 11 of the 19 batters he faced. The southpaw was remarkably consistent through his first 22 starts, allowing no more than four earned runs in any outing, but he has fallen apart in September, posting a 16.68 ERA over five starts. Miley finishes 2019 with a 14-6 record, 3.98 ERA and 1.34 WHIP; it remains to be seen what role -- if any -- he will have for the Astros in the postseason.

Civale (3-4) took the loss against the White Sox on Thursday, giving up four earned runs on three hits over 4.1 innings, striking out four and walking three as the Indians fell 8-0.

Civale had been on a dominant run coming into this contest, but he saw it come to an end against the White Sox, with long balls he served up to James McCann and Daniel Palka accounting for all the damage against him. He's still put up fantastic numbers this season, boasting a 2.34 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and a 46:16 K:BB across 57.2 innings.

Cease (hamstring) won't pitch again this season, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Cease is scheduled to have an MRI on Friday, but the White Sox have already stated that the right-hander won't pitch over the weekend. He'll finish with a 5.79 ERA and 1.55 WHIP with an 81:35 K:BB over 73 frames in 2019.

Cease was scratched from Thursday's start against the Indians due to a left hamstring strain.

Cease suffered the injury during his pregame bullpen, and he's set to undergo further evaluation Friday. It's unclear if he'll pitch again this year with only three games remaining after Thursday.

Montas will be available out of the bullpen during Oakland's weekend series against Seattle, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Montas fired six innings Wednesday against the Angels, but skipper Bob Melvin noted Thursday that the right-hander will be ready to go in relief if needed. He'll aim to help Oakland lock up a postseason berth over the weekend with four contests remaining in the regular season, though he's not eligible to pitch if the A's do make the playoffs.
