Turnbull will start for the Tigers on Wednesday against the Twins, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

The 25-year-old made 23 starts in the minor leagues this season, split across four levels. He posted a 3.92 ERA with a 10.0 K/9. It's unclear if the Tigers will go with a six-man rotation for the rest of the season or if Turnbull will get just one start before heading back to the bullpen.

Berrios had to settle for a no-decision against the Royals on Friday. He allowed two earned runs on five hits and three walks over six innings while striking out nine.

Berrios ran into trouble in the first three innings, but he was able to limit the damage and allowed only a single run in each of the first two frames before completely shutting down the Royals' offense from the fourth through the sixth. He was in line for the victory, but the Twins' bullpen allowed five runs in the ninth. Overall, Berrios has struggled with consistency this season, but he does have 185 strikeouts over 179.2 innings with a 3.81 ERA in 2018. He'll look to stay on track in his next start, which is scheduled for Friday against the Athletics.

Keuchel earned a quality start in a no-decision against the Diamondbacks on Friday. He allowed two earned runs on five hits and four walks over six innings while striking out five.

Keuchel gave up both his runs in the first inning on a two-run single by David Peralta, but he settled down and managed to complete six frames on 99 pitches. The four walks tied a season high for Keuchel, but he lowered his ERA to 3.57 with the effort. He now owns a 143:52 K:BB over 191.2 innings this season, and he's scheduled to make his next start Wednesday at home against the Mariners.

Boyd did not factor into the decision in Friday's 5-4 win over the Indians, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out seven.

Boyd kept Cleveland off the board through five innings and was in line for the win before he allowed back-to-back home runs to Edwin Encarnacion and Josh Donaldson with one out in the sixth to tie the game at 2-2. Despite sputtering at the end, it was still a solid outing for Boyd, and the lefty has now allowed just three earned runs with 18 strikeouts over his last two starts (12.1 innings). He'll look to keep it rolling his next time out Wednesday against the Twins.

Paxton (illness) hopes to join the team within the next few days, and he'll play catch Saturday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Paxton has been battling pneumonia, although he's trending in the right direction and is close to a return to action. The Mariners will decide his next step after he completes his throwing session Saturday.

Rodriguez earned a quality start in Thursday's victory over the Blue Jays, but he settled for a no-decision. He allowed one earned run, five hits and no walks while striking out seven over six innings.

Rodriguez was in position for the win, but the bullpen allowed the Blue Jays to tie the game in the eighth inning. He was efficient in the outing, only needing 78 pitches to complete six frames. Rodriguez lowered his ERA to 3.53 with the solid showing, and he owns an impressive 133:36 K:BB ratio over the course of 119.2 innings so far in 2018. His next start is scheduled for Thursday against the Yankees.

Bundy (8-14) earned the win in Thursday's 5-3 victory over the Athletics. He allowed two earned runs, six hits and no walks while striking out eight over six innings.

Bundy looked sharp in his first quality start since Aug. 4, but he has still allowed at least six earned runs in four of his last seven starts. Though he's not a reliable fantasy option, the strikeouts (166 over 156 innings in 2018) are encouraging, and mixed-league players who need punchouts down the stretch could benefit from him if he's on the waiver wire. He'll carry a 5.48 ERA into his next start, scheduled for Tuesday against the Blue Jays.

Paxton is dealing with some form of pneumonia, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

Paxton did not travel to Los Angeles with the Mariners and won't take the mound for his scheduled start against the Angels on Friday, though manager Scott Servais said he's hoping the southpaw will be able to rejoin the starting rotation at some point during their 10-game road trip, which runs through Sept. 23. The Mariners are expected to go with a bullpen day in his absence Friday.

Cobb (finger) will be sidelined for at least one more week, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

Cobb is set to miss his next start due to a blister. If all goes well, the Orioles are hoping the right-hander will be able to rejoin the starting rotation during the team's three-game series against the Yankees that runs Sept. 21-23. It's still unknown who will take his turn in the rotation Sunday.

Gonzales will see his pitch count carefully monitored during his remaining starts, David Gottlieb of MLB.com reports. "I don't think you're going to see us extend him out to 100 pitches or anything like that," manager Scott Servais said. "But I think it is important he continues to finish out the season, finish out the month of September. This is uncharted waters for him."

The lefty fired a modest 66 pitches through five innings last Tuesday against the Padres, and Servais seems to imply that this will be par for the course for what remains of the regular season. Now having logged 150.2 innings in 2018, Gonzales is only six away from the most he's ever thrown in his professional career. Consequently, the team wants to be cautious, especially considering this is Gonzales' first full season since April 2016 Tommy John surgery.
