Morton allowed five runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out seven over five innings in a no-decision versus the Athletics on Tuesday.

Morton had trouble early, allowing a three-run home run to Jacob Wilson in the first inning. A pair of wild pitches didn't help Morton's performance, but the Tigers' offense spared him from ending up with a loss. Morton is now at a 5.25 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 137:58 K:BB through 128.2 innings over 28 appearances (22 starts) between Detroit and Baltimore this season. The right-hander's next start is projected to be at home versus the Mets.

Castillo did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing five runs on five hits and three walks over five innings in a 7-6 loss against San Diego. He struck out six.

Castillo ran into immediate trouble Tuesday, surrendering all five of his earned runs in the first inning, punctuated by a Ramon Laureano grand slam. The 32-year-old hurler has hit a rough patch, pitching to a 5.45 ERA and 1.51 WHIP over 36.1 innings in his past seven starts. He's lined up to next take the mound Monday at Tampa Bay.

Brown (10-6) took the loss Tuesday, allowing six runs (two earned) on six hits over 6.2 innings against the Rockies. He struck out seven without issuing a walk.

The right-hander's outing was undone in the third inning when a costly error by Jeremy Pena opened the door for a four-run frame (all unearned). Despite taking the loss and being charged with six total runs, Brown has now strung together six straight starts allowing two earned runs or fewer. On the year, the 26-year-old owns a stellar 2.37 ERA and 1.01 WHIP across 155.2 innings in 26 starts.

The Angels will recall Kochanowicz from Triple-A Salt Lake to start Wednesday's game against the Rangers, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Kochanowicz has given up nine runs (eight earned) in just 10 innings since being sent down to Triple-A Salt Lake on Aug. 11, but he'll be called upon nonetheless to start Wednesday's series finale. The 24-year-old has given up at least five earned runs in three of his last four starts in the majors, so fantasy managers who are looking for streaming options will likely be better off staying away from him.

Woods Richardson (illness) will be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays in Toronto, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Woods Richardson has missed most of the month while recovering from a procedure to remove a parasite from his digestive tract. He's made enough progress in his recovery to make two rehab appearances in the minors, with the right-hander giving up four runs (three earned) over 5.1 innings while striking out eight batters and walking two. Though the Twins saw enough from Woods Richardson to welcome him back into the rotation, he'll likely be on a limited workload after covering 3.1 innings and 64 pitches his last time out for Triple-A St. Paul this past Thursday.

Bassitt did not factor in the decision during Tuesday's loss to Minnesota, allowing two runs on four hits and three walks while striking out six over 5.2 innings.

Bassitt worked through five shutout innings before yielding a two-run homer to Luke Keaschall in the sixth. Bassitt was in line for his first win since July 23 before Toronto's bullpen fumbled the lead. He's struggled with his command and control lately; Bassitt has walked multiple batters in five straight outings, registering a 27:14 K:BB over 27 frames during that span. In six starts since his last win, he's produced a 5.22 ERA, raising his season mark to 4.14 over 150 innings. Bassitt is lined up to start in Cincinnati next week.

Ober did not factor in the decision during Tuesday's win over Toronto, allowing four runs on 10 hits while striking out three over five innings. He did not issue a walk.

Ober struggled early Tuesday, coughing up three runs in the first two innings. He served up two solo homers to George Springer, including one in his fifth and final inning of work. Ober is still searching for his first win since May 3 and would've fallen to 4-8 if not for a late comeback by the Twins. Since that last victory, he's 0-6 with a 5.83 ERA across 80.1 frames. For the year, Ober owns a 5.14 ERA with a 96:25 K:BB in 22 starts. He's currently projected to face the White Sox at home next week.

Gil (2-1) allowed a run on five hits and four walks over five innings Tuesday, striking out five and earning a win over the Nationals.

Gil gave up one run in the third inning but was otherwise able to work around some traffic on the bases. He continues to struggle with his command; since making his season debut Aug. 3, Gil has walked at least three batters in four of his five appearances. However, he's allowed two or fewer runs in four consecutive outings. He generated 12 whiffs Tuesday, marking the second time he's forced double-digit swinging strikes this season. Gil is now sporting a 3.75 ERA with a lackluster 22:17 K:BB through 24 frames. He's currently lined up to face the White Sox in Chicago this weekend.

The Athletics placed Lopez on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a left elbow flexor strain.

Lopez's strained elbow played a factor in his performance in a loss to the Mariners on Sunday, when he surrendered nine earned runs in just two innings. The Athletics will shut down for a period of time before he's cleared to start a throwing program, though the team is optimistic that the 27-year-old southpaw will make it back before the end of the season, likely as a reliever. Mason Barnett was selected from Triple-A Las Vegas to take Lopez's place on the active roster, but the team hasn't yet announced who will replace Lopez in the rotation.

The Athletics selected Barnett's contract from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.

The 24-year-old Barnett has spent the entire season at Las Vegas, turning in a 5.83 ERA and 1.56 WHIP across 117.1 innings through 24 appearances (22 starts). Despite his unimpressive statline, he'll join the big-league roster for the first time in his career to fill in for Jacob Lopez (elbow), who landed on the IL in a corresponding move. If Barnett takes Lopez's place in the Athletics' rotation, the former would be lined up to make his MLB debut Saturday against Texas. Otherwise, he could be used as a multi-inning relief option.
