Odorizzi (3-3) allowed two runs on three hits and three walks while striking out seven over five innings, but received no decision Thursday against the Tigers.

Odorizzi was staked to a five-run lead through five innings before giving up a pair of runs before retiring a hitter in the sixth inning, forcing his exit from the contest. Unfortunately, the bullpen blew his three-run lead, keeping him from a potential victory. He's now failed to post a quality start in four of his last five outings, and his ERA is at 3.91 on the year. He'll make his next start Tuesday against the Angels.

Worley (groin) was activated from the DL on Thursday, the Baltimore Sun reports.

As expected, Worley will rejoin the O's ahead of their series opener in Seattle after spending just over the minimum 15 days on the disabled list. He has posted a 1.80 ERA in 30 innings as a reliever this season (compared to a 5.06 ERA in two starts) and will likely continue in a long-relief role for the time being.

Rondon (2-6) pitched 5.2 innings, allowing four runs, five hits and one walk while striking out six in a no-decision Thursday against the Twins.

Rodon retired the first 11 Twins hitters he faced before Robbie Grossman and Brian Dozier launched back-to-back homers in the fourth inning. Rodon pitched a perfect fifth, but the Twins scored two in the sixth on three hits and chased Rodon from the game. The White Sox built up a 5-2 lead against Twins starter Tommy Milone by scoring one run in the second, one in the third and three in the fourth, but Rodon was unable to capitalize on the opportunity to win his third game of the season. He'll take a disappointing 4.24 ERA and 1.46 WHIP into his next start Tuesday against the Yankees.

Milone (0-2) was lucky to walk away with a no-decision after allowing five runs on nine hits in just 3.1 innings Thursday against the White Sox. He walked one and struck out three.

It was Milone's second start since returning to Minnesota from Triple-A Rochester on June 19, with the results no better than his first start last Friday against the Yankees. It was the complete opposite at Rochester, where Milone was went 4-0 with a 1.66 ERA in seven starts for the Red Wings, striking out 41 while walking just four in 48.2 innings. He lasted at least five innings in all seven outings, going at least seven in five of them. The southpaw has already lost his spot at the bottom of the team's rotation once this year, and if he doesn't get better results soon, the 29-year-old is at-risk of heading back to the minors.

Heaney (elbow) will undergo Tommy John surgery, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports.

A follow-up exam this week showed that Heaney's elbow has not improved in the two months since he received stem-cell treatment, and thus the decision was made to send him for reconstructive surgery. Considering where we're at in the season and the fact that recovery from Tommy John surgery typically takes more than a calendar year, it seems likely Heaney will remain out through the 2017 campaign.

Worley (groin) should be activated in time for Thursday's game, MASN Sports reports.

With the Orioles beginning a road trip with a four-game series against the Mariners, the timing was right to activate Worley. After allowing five hits in 1.2 innings in his first rehab start, Worley tossed three perfect innings Tuesday. He should return to a long relief role, though starting is not out of the question if there is a need in the rotation.

Miley (6-4) allowed five runs on seven hits with no walks and one strikeout over four innings during Wednesday's 8-1 loss to the Pirates.

Miley only threw 74 pitches (48 for strikes) in his first start back from dealing with shoulder inflammation that landed him on the DL. He'll look to go deeper into his next scheduled start Monday at Houston.

Nolasco (3-6) gave up nine hits, seven earned runs and a walk over 5.2 innings in Wednesday's 9-6 loss to the White Sox. He struck out five.

The veteran righty was largely derailed by the long ball once again, giving up bombs to Brett Lawrie, Tyler Saladino and Todd Frazier. Nolasco managed to notch first-pitch strikes on 19 of the 27 batters he faced but was otherwise mostly ineffective. After a late May-mid-June stretch that saw him post quality starts in four of five trips to the mound, the 33-year-old's performance has started to deteriorate once again. Over his last two starts, Nolasco has given up 19 hits and 11 earned runs, including four homers, over 12.1 innings. He'll look to rebound against Oakland next Monday.

Keuchel (5-9) pitched six quality innings, allowing two earned runs, six hits and three walks while striking out four in Wednesday's 10-4 win over the Angels.

Keuchel gave up a pair of runs in the second inning on a Jett Bandy home run and a Kole Calhoun RBI triple, then settled down to retire 11 of the last 13 batters he faced. This season has been a struggle for Keuchel, but the lefty has won consecutive starts for the first time in 2016. He earned his third straight quality start -- and ninth in 17 outings -- and beat the Angels for the ninth time in his career, his most wins against any club.

Miley (shoulder) was activated from the disabled list prior to his start Wednesday against Pittsburgh.

Miley was placed on the 15-day DL on June 17 after injuring his shoulder during his June 12 start. He made one rehab start with short-season Everett, pitching four perfect innings while adding seven strikeouts. Prior to his injury, Miley had been struggling in his previous few starts but the Mariners are hopeful that his time off will give him a chance to regroup. On the year he has posted a 5.28 ERA with a 1.38 WHIP during 76.2 innings of work.
