Suarez will work behind an opener Thursday against the Athletics, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Suarez worked as a traditional starter in each of his last two outings, but he gave up seven runs on 11 hits over 9.2 innings. Luke Bard will cover the first inning or two before turning things over to the young left-hander Thursday. Suarez has mostly struggled during his rookie season with a 6.71 ERA and 1.65 WHIP through 63 frames.

Berrios (11-8) allowed six earned runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out six across five innings to take the loss Tuesday against the Twins.

Berrios had his start ruined by Mookie Betts, who accounted for four of his earned runs on two homers -- both of which came within the first two frames. Berrios did settle in from there, holding the Red Sox scoreless until the sixth frame. After pacing toward a sub-3.00 ERA through July, he has allowed at least three earned runs in five consecutive outings, including blowup performances of nine, five and six earned runs in that span. That has inflated his season-long ERA to 3.78, nearly a run higher than his 2.80 mark on July 31. Berrios will look to get back on track in his next appearance, currently scheduled for Tuesday against Washington.

Rodriguez (17-5) allowed five hits and four walks while striking out eight across seven shutout innings to earn the win Wednesday against the Twins.

Rodriguez showcased his swing-and-miss stuff, generating 22 swinging strikes to back up his eight punchouts. Though he struggled with his control, Rodriguez was able to escape every jam he found himself in -- particularly in the fourth inning when he stranded the bases loaded. After struggling his way to a 4.65 ERA in 18 starts prior to the All-Star break, Rodriguez has earned a 2.57 ERA in 10 outings since. Overall, he owns a 3.81 ERA and 1.36 WHIP with 17 wins and 168 strikeouts across 172.2 innings. His next start is currently scheduled for Monday against the Yankees.

Bieber (13-7) allowed two earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out nine across seven innings to earn the win Wednesday against the White Sox.

Bieber allowed both of his earned runs in the second inning after allowing the first two batters he faced to reach base. However, he dominated the White Sox from there, turning in his ninth consecutive start of six frames or more -- allowing more than two earned runs only once in that span. As a result, Bieber has maintained a sparkling 1.01 WHIP and strong 3.24 ERA while also racking up 233 punchouts across 188.2 innings. He's slated make his next start Monday at the Angels.

Gilbert reached his innings limit for 2019 and will be shut down rather than pitching in the Texas League playoffs, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Gilbert reached his innings limit of 135 innings after his last start, but the Mariners still planned to let him pitch in the playoffs. He struggled in that start and the subsequent bullpen session, causing the organization go with the original plan. The 22-year-old was promoted to Double-A in mid-July and had a 2.88 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 56:25 K:BB over 50 innings with Arkansas.

Lynn (14-10) took the loss Wednesday as the Rangers fell 4-1 to the Yankees, allowing three runs on five hits and three walks over five innings while striking out seven.

Aaron Judge and Gleyber Torres both took the right-hander deep, the first time since July 21 that Lynn has served up multiple homers. He'll carry a 3.81 ERA and 209:53 K:BB through 181.2 innings into his next start Tuesday, at home against the Rays.

Faedo (back) was reinstated from the 7-day injured list and tossed three scoreless innings Sunday in his start for Double-A Erie.

Faedo was sidelined for approximately three weeks with the back strain, but he'll head into the offseason with his health intact after making it back on the mound for Erie's penultimate game. He wrapped up his second professional season with a 3.90 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 134:25 K:BB in 115.1 innings, all of which came at Double-A.

Carrasco (4-7) took the loss in relief Tuesday against the White Sox after giving up four runs on four hits in his lone inning of work.

Carrasco was summoned to protect a 5-2 lead in the eighth inning, seemingly signaling that manager Terry Francona views him as one of the top setup options in front of closer Brad Hand. The skipper could reconsider his usage of Carrasco in the future, however, as the right-hander has been hit hard in both of his first two outings since returning from the 60-day injured list Sunday. He's given up five runs and six hits in two innings out of the bullpen, with both James McCann and Eloy Jimenez tagging him for home runs Wednesday.

Glasnow (forearm) was in the Rays' clubhouse prior to Tuesday's doubleheader and reported feeling "really good" following Monday night's rehab appearance, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Glasnow worked up to 33 pitches in the appearance, which was a high-water mark for him since going down with his forearm strain May 10. The right-hander remains unsure whether activation or another rehab appearance with Triple-A Durham or Double-A Montgomery is his next step, but the fact his arm seemed to have tolerated the increased activity well is certainly a positive. "Really encouraged by his performance," manager Kevin Cash said. "We haven't decided yet, we're still talking through it. We were just thrilled Glas got in the two innings or whatever it was [Monday]. [He] felt good. Everybody said the stuff looked good."

Greinke (4-1) allowed four runs on eight hits while striking out four over six innings in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Brewers.

The Astros mustered little in the way of an attack against Milwaukee pitching, and Greinke was handed his first loss since being traded to the Astros. The club has now lost two straight games started by Greinke after winning the first four. The right-hander will look to get back on the winning track Monday at home against Oakland.
