Schlittler (11-6) picked up the win Friday in a 3-1 victory over the Blue Jays, allowing one run on six hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out four.

The AL Cy Young Award favorite wasn't at his most dominant, as the four Ks were his lowest total since June 2, but Schlittler still put together his 16th quality start of the season on 96 pitches (59 strikes). Over nine outings since the beginning of July, the 25-year-old right-hander has compiled a 2.33 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 70:16 K:BB in just 54 innings. Schlittler will look to keep rolling in his next start, which is scheduled to come at home next week against the Astros.

Prielipp (3-7) took the loss Friday in San Diego, giving up six runs on eight hits with seven strikeouts and two walks over six innings.

After a six-start string of solid performances -- during which he posted a 4.09 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 10.1 K/9 -- Prielipp has now surrendered 14 earned runs across his past two outings. The left-hander had a strong start to his MLB career with a 2.88 ERA and 0.96 WHIP in his first five big-league appearances earlier this year, but he's been unable to maintain that level of effectiveness and has a 5.57 ERA and 1.40 WHIP through 18 starts overall.

Hancock allowed three runs on eight hits and a hit batsman while striking out six and walking none over 5.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Cubs on Friday.

Hancock started poorly, giving up a solo home run to Pete Crow-Armstrong and a two-run shot to Alex Bregman in the first inning. After that, Hancock was able to settle down, finishing with 98 pitches (68 strikes), though the Mariners' bullpen would blow the lead he left them with. Over four starts in August, Hancock has allowed 11 runs (10 earned) across 23.1 innings, adding a 23:5 K:BB in that span. For the season, he's at a 3.37 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 125:32 K:BB through 133.2 innings over 24 starts. He's just an inning shy of matching his overall workload from the 2025 regular season, and he's 15.1 innings away from his career high from 2024. Hancock is projected to make his next start in Toronto.

Cantillo did not factor into the decision in Friday's 9-1 win over the Rockies, allowing one run on four hits and four walks with five strikeouts over 4.2 innings.

Cantillo rebounded after allowing a run in the first inning but struggled with his command, throwing just 49 of 89 pitches for strikes with 11 whiffs and falling one out shy of qualifying for the win. The 26-year-old owns a solid 2.70 ERA through four August outings, but his quality start Saturday marked the only time he's exceeded five frames in his past 10 turns. He'll carry a 3.73 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 144:63 K:BB across 130.1 innings this season into a road matchup with the Angels next week.

Gore did not factor into the decision in Friday's 2-1 extra-inning win over the Angels, allowing two hits and one walk while striking out seven over six scoreless innings.

Gore had everything working, generating 21 swinging strikes on 100 pitches while registering at least four whiffs with four different offerings. It continued a strong August for the 27-year-old, who owns a 1.57 ERA through four outings this month, including two scoreless quality starts. He'll carry a 4.26 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 161:52 K:BB across 145.2 innings this season into his next start, which is projected to be a road matchup with the Brewers next weekend.

Detmers did not factor into the decision in Friday's 2-1 extra-inning loss to the Rangers, allowing six hits and one walk while striking out five over six scoreless innings.

Detmers didn't have his best stuff, generating only nine swinging strikes on 89 pitches, but he pounded the strike zone en route to his second straight scoreless start. Dating back to the fifth inning of his July 17 outing, the southpaw has tossed 16 consecutive scoreless frames, posting a quality start in each of those efforts. He'll take a 3.62 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 172:44 K:BB across 149 innings this season into a home matchup with the Phillies next weekend.

Ginn (8-8) took the loss against the Astros on Friday, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks with four strikeouts over five innings.

Ginn opened with three scoreless frames before allowing runs in the fourth and fifth, throwing 57 of 94 pitches for strikes with nine whiffs. After opening the second half with three straight quality starts, the 27-year-old has now yielded seven earned runs over back-to-back losses. He owns a 3.60 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 118:55 K:BB across 132.1 innings this season and lines up for a home matchup with the Twins next week.

Peralta (5-11) took the loss against the Orioles on Friday, allowing five runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out six across seven innings.

Peralta fell to the Orioles on Friday for a second consecutive start, giving up seven runs over his last 11.2 frames against Baltimore. He kept the Orioles to two runs through four innings but allowed three baserunners to cross home in the fifth frame, highlighted by a two-run homer by Pete Alonso. Peralta has given up at least five earned runs six times this season, three of which have come over his last five outings. He hasn't been credited with a win since June 14 against Atlanta, and in four starts with the Rays, the veteran right-hander has a 7.17 ERA and 1.36 WHIP across 21.1 innings. Peralta is slated to take on the Tigers on the road next week.

Wesneski (3-1) earned the win against the Athletics on Friday, allowing one hit and three walks while striking out four in five scoreless innings.

Wesneski kept the Athletics off the board over five solid innings, generating 14 swinging strikes while throwing a season-high 91 pitches. It was a nice rebound after the 28-year-old allowed five runs Saturday, and he's allowed three earned runs or fewer while working five-plus frames in each of his four other starts since making his season debut July 29. He'll carry a 4.23 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 22:10 K:BB across 27.2 innings this season into a road matchup with the Mets next week.

Rogers (9-8) came away with the win against the Rays on Friday, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk while striking out six across seven innings.

All three of the runs Rogers gave up came in the second inning, highlighted by a two-run homer by Kenny Piper. Rogers kept the Rays off the board the rest of the way, tossing 103 pitches (75 strikes) while generating 14 whiffs and nine groundouts. It was the fourth time this season that he completed seven frames and his 12th quality start of the year, nine of which have come over his last 12 outings. Rogers will take a 4.14 ERA and 1.24 WHIP over 132.2 innings into his next start, lined up for next week on the road against the Cardinals.
