Miley (11-4) allowed one run on five hits with two walks and four strikeouts across 5.2 innings while earning a victory against the Orioles on Friday.

The only run he yielded came on a solo homer. This was Miley's fifth straight decision with a win, and in those five victories, he's yielded just two home runs. Miley has 11 wins and owns 2.99 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 116 strikeouts in 138.1 innings this season, and his next start will come Wednesday on the road against the White Sox.

Gonzales left Friday's game against the Rays after taking a comebacker off his left leg, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports. He allowed two runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out nine over 6.1 innings prior to exiting.

The severity of Gonzales' injury is unknown, though he did fire 98 pitches prior to exiting, so that may have been played a role in Seattle's decision to remove him from the contest. He'll be considered day-to-day until more details emerge.

Keller (7-12) was hit with the loss after yielding five runs on 10 hits and three walks while striking out six over six innings Friday night against the Tigers.

Keller surrendered two runs in the first inning followed by one in the fifth and two more in the sixth before exiting with a four-run deficit. He threw 65 of 108 pitches for strikes but fired first-pitch strikes to only eight of the 29 batters he faced. The 24-year-old right-hander has now been saddled with three straight losses, and he owns a 4.09 ERA with 112 punchouts over 152 innings this season.

Whitley (shoulder) will make another start for Double-A Corpus Christi on Friday.

The right-hander fared well in his first rehab start for Corpus Christi on Aug. 4, allowing one run on two hits and two walks while striking out five over four innings against Midland. Whitley has been slowly working his way back from a bout of shoulder fatigue, which sidelined him initially in late May. It's not out of the question that we could still see Whitley with the big club in September, but he's not on the 40-man roster, and the Astros may very well decide they're set without Whitley this season.

Canning (elbow) will throw a bullpen session Saturday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Canning landed on the 10-day injured list with elbow inflammation August 4. If all goes well Saturday, he could return to the rotation soon thereafter. The rookie right-hander has posted a 4-6 record along with a 4.76 ERA and 1.20 WHIP in 79.1 innings this season.

Severino (lat) threw 23 pitches off a mound Friday, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

Severino threw primarily fastballs in the brief session but also mixed in some changeups and sliders. It was his first time throwing off a mound since March. Assuming his rehab goes well, Severino could make his return to the majors sometime in September.

Allard was called up to start Friday's game at Milwaukee.

Allard was acquired by the Rangers before the July trade deadline and won't have to wait long to debut with his new team. The 21-year-old had a rough three-game stint with the Braves during his first taste of the majors in 2018 and has a 3.99 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 106:38 K:BB over 115 innings at Triple-A this season.

German (15-2) got the win against the Blue Jays on Thursday, giving up four runs (three earned) on eight hits over five innings, striking out three and walking one as the Yankees picked up a 12-6 victory.

It wasn't his sharpest stat line, but German did enough to rack up yet another win, giving him 15 on the season in 17 decisions. His 4.05 ERA isn't spectacular, but the right-hander's 1.12 WHIP and 117:25 K:BB are both impressive, and he's well on pace to record a 20-win season pitching for a Yankees team that has been consistently providing him with great run support.

Gibson (11-5) was charged with the loss against the Indians on Thursday after allowing six runs (five earned) on four hits and six walks while striking out two over 4.1 innings.

The right-hander rendered himself ineffective this time around with a career-high six free passes to take his first loss since June 19. Gibson had thrown a season-high 110 pitches over 6.2 innings in his last start but exited Thursday's game after his 85th pitch in the fifth. The 31-year-old still holds a solid 11-5 record over 24 appearances along with a 4.24 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 126:41 K:BB. Gibson will hit the road for a showdown with the Brewers on Wednesday.

Clevinger (7-2) earned the win Thursday after striking out nine and holding the Twins to two runs on three hits and a walk over seven innings.

Clevinger pieced together an effective start, tossing a season-high 117 pitches and retiring the final 10 batters he faced. The right-hander has allowed three runs or fewer over his last seven outings, improving to a 3.02 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 89:20 K:BB on the season. Clevinger takes the hill again Tuesday for a tough matchup against the Red Sox.
