Lynn (14-6) struck out 10 and picked up the win in Friday's 5-4 victory over the Tigers, allowing one run on four hits and two walks over seven innings.

The right-hander delivered his 16th quality start of the season while fanning double-digit batters for the sixth time. Lynn will take a 3.71 ERA and 170:35 K:BB over 148 innings into his next outing Wednesday in Cleveland.

Clevinger (6-2) picked up the win Friday, giving up one run on three hits and four walks over 6.1 innings while striking out eight in a 7-3 victory over the Angels.

A solo homer by Mike Trout in the first inning was the only significant blemish on Clevinger's line for the night. The right-hander has now delivered four straight quality starts, and he'll take a 3.07 ERA and 80:19 K:BB over 55.2 innings into his next outing Wednesday, at home against the Rangers.

Kikuchi (4-8) allowed six runs on nine hits and struck out only one in four innings, taking the loss Friday against the Astros.

Kikuchi was done in by the long ball Friday, as all six runs were scored on four of the Astros' six homers in the game. Kikuchi has struggled recently, with five of his last 10 starts seeing the southpaw surrender five or more runs. He owns a 5.49 ERA and 1.48 WHIP with 84 strikeouts in 118 innings this season. Kikuchi is expected to take his next turn versus the Padres on Wednesday.

Miley (10-4) allowed two runs on three hits and five walks while striking out six over six innings Friday, earning the win in a 10-2 victory over the Mariners.

The five walks were a season high for Miley, who otherwise pitched well to earn his fourth win in his last six starts. Only a two-run homer from Daniel Vogelbach marred the pitching performance. Miley has now allowed two runs or less in six of his last seven starts, and the left-hander carries a 3.05 ERA and 1.13 WHIP over 132.2 innings. Miley lines up for a road date with the Orioles next Friday.

Rodriguez (13-5) was hit with the loss after yielding four runs on five hits and six walks while striking out eight over 6.2 innings Friday against the Yankees.

Things didn't look good for Rodriguez early on, as he surrendered a grand slam in the first inning, but he kept the Yankees off the board until exiting in the seventh. Control was an issue for the lefty, who threw 65 of 113 pitches for strikes in a 4-2 loss. Rodriguez owns a 4.19 ERA and 1.32 WHIP with a 139:50 K:BB over 135.1 innings this season.

Paxton (6-6) earned the win after allowing two runs on two hits and three walks while striking out six over six innings Friday against the Red Sox.

Paxton got off to a shaky start, surrendering a two-run homer in the first inning, but he settled down to fire five scoreless frames before being lifted after 100 pitches (60 strikes). The lefty turned in a quality start in the series opener after allowing 14 runs (11 earned) over his last two outings.

Civale will be called up from Triple-A Columbus to start Monday against the Rangers, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

The 24-year-old will enter the starting rotation in place of Danny Salazar, who landed on the injured list with a groin issue. Civale made his major-league debut in June and allowed two hits over six shutout innings.

Severino (lat) is tentatively scheduled to throw off a mound next Friday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Severino resumed throwing after the All-Star break and has since been building up his arm strength before returning to mound work. The 25-year-old has no official timeline for his return and could work out of the bullpen once he rejoins the Yankees.

McCreery cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday.

McCreery was designated for assignment earlier in the week but will remain in the organization after going unclaimed on waivers. The 26-year-old has a 3.79 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 43:25 K:BB over 40.1 innings between Double-A and Triple-A this season.

Means (shoulder) expects to come off the injured list to start Tuesday or Wednesday against the Yankees, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.

Means has been throwing over the last few days and his final hurdle to being fully cleared will be a bullpen session this weekend. The 26-year-old landed on the injured list July 25 and looks as though he'll make his return after missing only a couple days more than the 10-day minimum.
