Miley (13-7) allowed seven runs on seven hits and one walk over one-third of an inning to pick up the loss against Oakland on Tuesday.

Miley leaves baseball watchers scratching their heads after a second straight meltdown of a start. He was lit up by Seattle last week for five first-inning runs before the Athletics got to him Tuesday. He had been a model of consistency and boasted a solid 3.06 ERA before the two-start bludgeoning. He'll look to quell the rising storm his next time out, Sunday on the road in Kansas City.

Eovaldi allowed three runs on six hits with two walks and six strikeouts across 4.1 innings during a no-decision against the Blue Jays on Tuesday.

The 29-year-old needed three more outs to qualify for the win, but he left in the fifth after starting the frame with a walk and a strikeout. Red Sox manager Alex Core probably regrets the decision to take him out, as the Boston bullpen gave up the lead with a homer in the next at-bat. One of those runs was charged to Eovaldi, but he didn't get saddled with the loss. Eovaldi wasn't great Tuesday, yielding two homers himself, but he's improved lately, posting a 3.38 ERA in his last three outings. He is 1-0 with a 5.81 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 55 strikeouts in 52.2 innings this season. Eovaldi is scheduled to pitch next at home against the Giants on Tuesday.

Suarez (2-6) took the loss against the Indians on Tuesday, giving up six earned runs on four hits over three innings, striking out one and walking two as the Angels fell 8-0.

The left-hander made it out of the first inning unscathed but yielded all six of his runs over the next two frames before getting chased from the contest after three innings and 60 pitches. It was a continuation of the struggles Suarez has endured throughout his rookie campaign, with this outing giving him a 6.94 ERA and 1.64 WHIP across 71.1 innings on the season.

Urquidy will start Wednesday's game against the Athletics, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Urquidy will make a spot start after the Astros used multiple long relievers in Tuesday's 21-7 loss. The 24-year-old has a 5.33 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 24:5 K:BB in six major-league outings this season (27 innings). The Astros' schedule would allow them to get by without a fifth starter until Sept. 28, so Urquidy will presumably shift back to the bullpen after Wednesday's outing.

Montgomery (shoulder) tossed three innings for Double-A Trenton on Tuesday, giving up two runs (one earned) on two hits and one walk while striking out one.

Montgomery hurled his most pitches in a rehab outing to date, firing strikes on 30 of 50 throws to the plate. He allowed the first three hitters of the game to reach base but settled down thereafter to retire the final nine batters he faced. The appearance was likely the last for Montgomery in a minor-league uniform this season. He is on track to return to the Yankees -- likely in a relief role -- in the near future.

Berrios (12-8) allowed two hits over seven scoreless innings to earn the win Tuesday against the Nationals. He struck out four and walked one.

Berrios generated only four swinging strikes but lived on soft contact as he allowed only three hard-hit balls and zero extra-base hits. The 25-year-old has a 3.63 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 173:46 K:BB though 181 innings this season and lines up to pitch Sunday at Cleveland.

Dunn had his contract selected from Double-A Arkansas on Tuesday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Dunn posted a 3.55 ERA and 1.20 WHIP with a 158:39 K:BB over 131.2 innings this season as a starter, though he figures to head to the bullpen for the final few weeks of the season in Seattle.

Gibson (abdomen) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Brandon Warne of ZoneCoverage.com reports.

Gibson isn't slated to toe the rubber until Thursday against Washington, but the Twins have elected to bring him off the injured list a few days before his outing. He was placed on the 10-day IL on Sept. 1 due to ulcerative colitis.

Cortes will open Tuesday's game against the Tigers, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Cortes is expected to toss the first inning or two before handing the ball to a primary pitcher, likely Luis Cessa. Cortes has surrendered at least one run in each of his last four appearances, so he'll aim to get back on track with a scoreless outing Tuesday.

Blackburn did not factor into the decision in Monday's loss to the Astros but allowed six runs (five earned) on eight hits, a walk and a wild pitch over five innings. He did not record any strikeouts.

The right-hander was forced into extended duty due to Mike Fiers' day ending after a 50-pitch, nine-run first inning. Blackburn took his share of lumps against a red-hot Astros offense as well, but he did manage to eat up some valuable innings and serve as a bridge to Lou Trivino, who came on in the seventh. Blackburn has made two appearances since being recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Sept. 1 and sports a 9.00 ERA across his first six innings.
