Lorenzen (6-11) earned the win in Friday's 20-1 rout of the Blue Jays, allowing one run on three hits and three walks over 7.2 innings. He struck out four.

After conceding a solo homer to George Springer in the first, Lorenzen was able to settle in because his offense provided seven runs of support in the bottom of the inning. The veteran righty fired 113 total pitches in this outing, 71 of them being strikes, and took home his ninth quality start of the season. Through 136 total frames, Lorenzen has pitched to a 4.70 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 118:39 K:BB. The 33-year-old currently projects to make his next start on the road against the Angels.

Rasmussen did not factor into the decision in Friday's 11-7 loss to the Red Sox, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk with two strikeouts over three innings.

Rasmussen needed 76 pitches to get through just three innings, generating only four whiffs in his shortest outing since the All-Star break. After closing August with four straight quality starts, the 30-year-old has failed to complete more than five frames in any of his four September outings. He owns a 2.80 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 124:35 K:BB across 147.2 innings this season and will aim to finish strong in a road matchup with the Orioles next week.

Crochet (17-5) earned the win against the Rays on Friday, allowing three runs on four hits and three walks with nine strikeouts over six innings.

Crochet threw just 56 of 98 pitches for strikes and gave up a run in each of his first three innings before settling in to finish with three scoreless frames. The 26-year-old has bounced back from a seven-run blowup Sept. 2 with three straight quality starts and leads the majors with 197.1 innings across 31 outings this season. For the season, he owns a 2.69 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 249:46 K:BB, and he'll try to reach the 200-inning mark for the first time in a road matchup with the Blue Jays next week.

Scherzer (5-4) coughed up seven runs on seven hits and one walk over two-thirds of an inning to take the loss Friday at Kansas City. He struck out two.

The future Hall of Famer posted the second-shortest start of his 18-year career, with the briefest being a one-out appearance June 11, 2021 he left with injury. Despite generating a respectable eight whiffs out of his 45 total pitches, Scherzer was pounded by the Royals, as five of the seven hits he allowed went for extra bases. Overall, the 41-year-old now sports a 5.06 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 77:23 K:BB while giving up 18 long balls in 80 total frames. Scherzer will look to bounce back in his next outing, currently slated to come at home against the Rays next weekend.

Warren (8-8) took the loss against the Orioles on Friday, allowing three runs (one earned) on four hits and two walks with four strikeouts over 5.1 innings.

Warren gave up a solo shot in the second inning but was otherwise steady, with two unearned runs in the sixth stemming from a pair of Orioles errors. Despite getting tagged for six runs last Sunday, the 26-year-old has now held opponents to two earned runs or fewer in four of his past five starts while working at least five frames each time. He'll take a 4.35 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 164:64 K:BB across 157.1 innings into a projected home matchup with the White Sox next week.

Martin (7-10) allowed three runs on six hits and one walk over six innings to earn the win Friday against San Diego. He struck out four.

The Chicago right-hander made quick work of the Padres to tally his ninth quality start, completing his six frames on 77 pitches. Davis contained his opponent by generating a 55.0 percent groundball rate, with the three runs allowed scoring on two singles and a groundout. Across 138.1 total innings this season, the 28-year-old now sports a 4.03 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 99:46 K:BB while producing a 44.7 percent groundball rate. Martin currently lines up for a difficult test in his final start of 2025, which projects to come on the road against the Yankees.

Rogers (9-2) earned the win against the Yankees on Friday, allowing one hit and two walks while striking out seven over six scoreless innings.

Rogers generated 17 whiffs on a season-high 106 pitches and held the Yankees hitless until the sixth inning. The southpaw has now allowed just 16 earned runs across 17 starts this season, giving up two runs or fewer in all but one outing. He'll carry a 1.35 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 100:26 K:BB over 106.2 innings into a projected road rematch with the Yankees next weekend.

Woo was removed from Friday's game against the Astros with an apparent injury, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Woo had made it through five innings of shutout ball Friday, but a Mariners trainer made the decision to pull the right-hander while he was warming up for the sixth. It isn't immediately clear what is bothering Woo, but the team should provide some details regarding his condition relatively soon.

Lopez was removed from Friday's game against Cleveland with right forearm tightness, Phil Miller of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Lopez tweaked his forearm while making a diving play on a ball in the third inning, and he was eventually pulled after making it through four frames. The Twins haven't offered any information regarding the severity of his injury, so it remains unclear if he'll make his next scheduled start.

Lugo (back) hasn't resumed throwing after a recent setback and Royals manager Matt Quatraro said this week that a 2025 return is a "longshot," Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Lugo's back didn't respond well to a bullpen session he threw Monday, and he remains shut down from throwing. With just over a week remaining in the regular season and the Royals all but eliminated from playoff contention, a 2025 return seems very unlikely.
