Milone didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Rangers, giving up one run on three hits and a walk over five innings while striking out four.

The southpaw threw 54 of 81 pitches for strikes and was in line for his fourth win of the year after the Mariners took a 2-1 lead in the top of the sixth inning while he was still the pitcher of record, but Matt Magill blew the save in the ninth. Milone will carry a 4.90 ERA and 80:19 K:BB through 93.2 innings into his next outing -- whether as a starter or primary pitcher behind an opener -- Friday in Houston.

Bundy didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Royals, giving up four runs (three earned) on six hits and three walks over six innings while striking out seven.

The right-hander wasn't exactly sharp, but he did just enough to qualify for his ninth quality start of the season. Bundy will carry a 4.96 ERA and 138:48 K:BB through 138 innings into his next outing Thursday, at home against the Rangers.

Perez (9-6) allowed eight runs (seven earned) on nine hits with two walks and four strikeouts across just 2.2 innings while taking the loss against the Tigers on Saturday.

The veteran had an inning to forget during the third. The Tigers sent 11 hitters to the plate against Perez, and the only batter he got out was Gordon Beckham twice. This is the second time in the last five starts that Perez yielded seven earned runs in a start. Fortunately, he rebounded well after his last seven-run outing, but Perez will have to do it again to get his ERA back below 4.50. Perez owns a 4.89 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 120 strikeouts in 141.2 innings this season.

Boyd (7-10) struck out 11 but allowed five runs on six hits with one walk to earn a victory against the Twins on Saturday.

Boy, talk about a mixed bag. Boyd punched out 11 hitters, which is his most in nearly two months, but he also tied a season high by allowing four homers. Furthermore, he won. This is basically a microcosm of his 2019 season, as Boyd has yielded 36 home runs and struck out 219 batters with a 4.58 ERA and 1.18 WHIP in 165 innings this year. Boyd will pitch next at the Royals on Thursday.

Valdez (4-7) allowed six runs on nine hits with three walks and five strikeouts across 5.2 innings while taking a loss against the Blue Jays on Saturday.

The 25-year-old again displayed shaky control but even worse, he gave up a pair of home runs and a season-high nine hits. Valdez avoided giving up more than a run in his last outing despite five walks, but it's possible he won't receive another MLB start right away after this latest struggle. Valdez owns a 5.55 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 58 strikeouts in 61.2 innings across 22 appearances, including seven starts, this season.

German allowed two runs on four hits and three walks while striking out five over five innings in a no-decision against the A's on Saturday.

The only real blemish was a two-run homer allowed to Matt Olson in the fourth inning. German got 15 called strikes and 11 swinging strikes on 90 pitches and has now allowed three earned runs or fewer in 19 of his 24 appearances this season. He is 8-1 in 11 starts since returning from a hip injury in July. Up next is a road start in Boston.

Manager Kevin Cash said Glasnow (forearm) will make his next rehab appearance with Triple-A Durham on Monday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Glasnow is scheduled to pitch two innings for Durham after breezing through an inning of work during his first outing with the Bulls on Friday. It sounds like the right-hander could rejoin the Rays as early as next weekend, depending on how he emerges from his upcoming rehab appearance. Once healthy, Glasnow is expected to work as a starter, though likely in shorter stints given he won't be fully stretched out.

Luzardo struck out 10 and allowed one earned run on six hits over six innings in Triple-A Las Vegas' win over Tacoma on Friday.

Luzardo worked up to 93 pitches overall, so Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports he's not expected to be included in the first wave of callups upon roster expansion Sunday. However, the promising southpaw appears to be completely over the lat injury that previously plagued him, and his dominant outing Friday corroborates that he's regained his stride at the Triple-A level following a rocky return to action with the Aviators four starts ago.

Montgomery (shoulder) pitched 1.2 innings for Triple-A Scranton Wilkes-Barre on Friday, giving up one unearned run on two hits while striking out three.

Montgomery threw 35 pitches in the appearance, 24 of which were strikes, and touched 92 mph on the radar gun, per Randy Miller of NJ.com. The outing was Montgomery's second at the minor-league level as he rehabs from last season's Tommy John surgery and shoulder inflammation that crept up in June. The Yankees have left the door open for Montgomery's possible return to the big club in September.

Urquidy was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

With Collin McHugh (undisclosed) heading to the injured list in a corresponding move, Urquidy will rejoin the Astros for the stretch run. It remains to be seen whether the 24-year-old will be given a chance to start with the big club down the stretch or if he'll transition to a long-relief role. Urquidy has made five big-league appearances this season (all starts), compiling a 5.87 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 24:4 K:BB across 23 innings.
