Kaprielian, who was recently promoted to Triple-A Las Vegas, hit 96 mph with his fastball and was sitting at 94 mph in a late-August start, Melissa Lockard of The Athletic reports.

Already 25 years old, Kaprielian had pitched just 29.1 professional innings prior to this season due to a variety of elbow and shoulder injuries. However, he has been excellent his season despite all the missed time, logging a 3.18 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 75:16 K:BB in 68 innings. He has been even better of late, posting a 1.26 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 29:5 K:BB in 28.2 innings over his last seven starts, including a four-inning outing where he gave up one run and struck out six in his Triple-A debut Sept. 1. He is on the 40-man roster and should figure prominently into the big-league rotation plans for 2020.

Milone will serve as the primary pitcher following an opener Friday, the Associated Press reports.

The veteran southpaw has pitched a total of 62.2 innings in relief this season, generating a 5.03 ERA, .254 BAA and 1.15 WHIP. Milone will be working on normal rest, as he most recently appeared Saturday against the Rangers and threw 81 pitches over five innings.

Glasnow (forearm) threw a side session as planned Thursday, but whether he'll make another rehab appearance for Triple-A Durham or be activated from the injured list has yet to be determined, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Glasnow emerged from a 33-pitch rehab outing Monday without setbacks, and his bullpen session Thursday reportedly went off without a hitch. The right-hander could well be deemed ready to return to the big-league club, but making at least one more appearance with the Bulls is in play as well. Since Glasnow is expected to serve in some type of multi-inning relief capacity upon his return -- as opposed to being deployed as a conventional starter -- his arm is stretched out enough to handle that assignment.

Severino (lat) will throw 45-50 pitches over about three innings in his rehab appearance with Double-A Trenton on Friday, Greg Johnson of The Trentonian reports.

Severino hurled 33 pitches in his first rehab outing with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday, so the increased pitch count suggests that a return to the Yankees is right around the corner. The 25-year-old is expected to pitch in relief when first activated, though he could work his way back into the rotation by the end of September.

Miley did not factor into the decision against Seattle on Thursday, allowing five runs on five hits and one walk without retiring a batter.

Miley had nothing working against the Mariners, allowing five straight hits followed by a walk before mercifully being lifted without retiring a batter. The barrage against him included a pair of doubles and a two-run homer off the bat of Kyle Seager. The 32-year-old entered the outing having gone 7-0 with a 2.78 ERA over his last seven starts; he was fortunate to keep his win streak intact as a result of Houston rallying to an 11-9 victory in extra innings. Despite the disastrous outing, Miley still holds a respectable 3.35 ERA and 1.26 WHIP along with a 13-4 record on the season. He'll face Oakland on Tuesday in his next scheduled start.

Gonzales did not factor into the decision against Houston on Thursday, pitching 5.1 innings and giving up five runs (four earned) on seven hits and five walks without registering a strikeout.

All things considered, Gonzales was fortunate to escape with only four earned runs charged against him. He allowed at least one baserunner in each inning before his departure and threw just 54 of 98 pitches for strikes, leading to a season-high five walks. He also failed to whiff any batters for the first time this season and induced only six swinging strikes. The 27-year-old was handed an early seven-run lead but gave nearly all of it back, departing in the sixth inning after serving up a pair of homers that narrowed Seattle's lead to two. Gonzales now holds a 4.37 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 128:49 K:BB in 175 innings this season. He'll have a home matchup against Cincinnati on Wednesday in his next scheduled start.

Perez (10-6) got the win against the Red Sox on Thursday, giving up one earned run on two hits over six innings, striking out one and walking two as the Twins bagged a 2-1 victory.

Perez was blown up for seven earned over 2.2 innings in his last outing against the Tigers, but he bounced back with a quality start in this contest that allowed him to nab his 10th win of the season. It's still been an erratic campaign overall for the 28-year-old, as he's got a 4.75 ERA and 1.46 WHIP across 147.2 innings. He lines up to take on the Nationals in his next start in a Wednesday home matchup.

Eovaldi didn't factor into the decision against the Twins on Thursday, giving up one earned run on one hit over five innings, striking out three and walking four as the Red Sox eventually fell 2-1.

Eovaldi did well to hold a powerful Twins lineup to just one run, but it wasn't enough to get him his second win of the season as he only received a single run of support from his offense. It's been a disappointing, injury-shortened campaign for the 29-year-old as he's sporting a 5.77 ERA and 1.51 WHIP across 48.1 innings, but he's been pitching better over his last two starts with just two earned runs and 11 strikeouts to his name over his last nine innings.

Allard (4-0) picked up the win against the Orioles on Thursday, giving up one earned run on eight hits over 6.1 innings, striking out two and walking two as the Rangers prevailed 3-1.

Locked in a pitcher's duel with John Means, Allard got the better of it as he managed to hold the Orioles to the single run despite having to work his way around 10 baserunners. The 22-year-old lowered his ERA to 3.78 with the effort, to go along with a 1.38 WHIP and 29:11 K:BB across 33.1 big-league innings on the season.

Means (10-10) took the loss against the Rangers on Thursday, giving up two earned runs on four hits over 6.2 innings, striking out four and walking none as the Orioles fell 3-1.

Means put up a solid line, but he found himself unlucky to get hit with his 10th loss of the season as he only received one run of support. The 26-year-old has been a bright spot for the lowly Orioles, as he's sporting a solid 3.50 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 103:32 K:BB across 131 innings on the season. He'll have a tough matchup in his next start, as he's scheduled to take on the Dodgers at home on Wednesday.
