Stroman (10-6) earned the win Friday against the Cardinals, allowing two runs on nine hits and no walks over seven innings. He struck out five.

The 33-year-old picked up his ninth quality start with this 98-pitch performance despite yielding nine hits, matching a season-worst total set July 27 against Boston. However, Stroman only allowed one extra-base hit -- a Paul Goldschmidt double in the second -- as he notched his second walk-free outing of the season. This marks the fifth season in which Stroman has collected double-digit wins in his 10-year career. The veteran righty has pitched to a 3.81 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 102:57 K:BB across 139.1 innings this season. He currently lines up to face the Rangers on the road for his next start.

DeGrom (elbow) will require two more rehab starts, with the first coming at Triple-A Round Rock, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

DeGrom has already completed a pair of rehab outings, allowing one run across four innings, and he'll need two more appearances before possibly being activated. The 35-year-old hasn't pitched for the Rangers since he underwent Tommy John surgery in June 2023 but should be back in mid-September.

The Angels selected Aldegheri's contract from Double-A Rocket City ahead of his start Friday against the Mariners.

Aldegheri will make his major-league debut Friday after splitting his time this season between High-A and Double-A, during which he recorded 134 strikeouts over 95.1 innings. The 22-year-old southpaw was acquired by the Angels in late July as part of the trade package sending Carlos Estevez to the Phillies. Aldegheri will take the spot in the Angels' starting rotation vacated by Carson Fulmer, who was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday due to right elbow inflammation.

The Angels selected Dana's contract from Double-A Rocket City on Friday.

Dana will start Sunday's game against the Mariners after logging a 2.59 ERA across 135.2 innings with Rocket City this season. The 20-year-old is one of the Halos' top prospects, but he hasn't pitched above the Double-A level since joining the organization in 2022, although the organization generally avoids sending its top young arms to the hitter's paradise of Triple-A Salt Lake. If he performs well Sunday, Dana could stick in the rotation.

Crochet is scheduled to start Sunday's game against the Mets at Guaranteed Rate Field.

Even though Crochet tossed just four pitches in his most recent start Tuesday against the Rangers before the game was suspended due to inclement weather, the White Sox still treated it as a full turn through the rotation for the southpaw. He'll return to the mound Sunday on four days' rest, but despite his light usage Tuesday, Crochet shouldn't be expected to work deep into his upcoming outing. Over his last nine starts, he hasn't covered more than four innings in any outing and owns a 5.93 ERA and 1.61 WHIP during that stretch.

Madden is no longer listed as the starter for Sunday's game versus the Red Sox but could be used as a bulk reliever, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Madden allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits and three walks while fanning two batters over five innings in his major-league debut Monday against the White Sox. He'll stick around with the big club for now, although his role isn't set in stone.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Friday that Schmidt (lat) might not necessarily require another rehab start, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Boone said prior to Schmidt's second rehab outing Wednesday that the right-hander would probably make two more rehab starts, but he's now leaving open the possibility that Schmidt's next appearance comes in the majors. Schmidt has allowed two runs with an 11:2 K:BB covering 6.2 innings in his first two rehab starts. The expectation is that he will be used as a starter upon his return to the Yankees, although he could eventually shift to the bullpen once Luis Gil (back) comes off the IL.

Cobb (fingernail) will return from the 15-day injured list to start Sunday against the Pirates, Paul Hoynes of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Cobb will wind up spending just one day beyond the minimum on the 15-day IL due to a cracked fingernail on his pitching hand. He did not make a rehab start, but given the brevity of his absence, Cobb should be able to handle a relatively normal workload versus the Pirates.

Olson (shoulder) will throw live batting practice Saturday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Olson was cleared for mound work Aug. 21 and has now advanced to facing live hitters. The right-hander will likely require a minor-league rehab stint, though it's unclear if he'll have enough time to get fully stretched out and rejoin the rotation.

The Tigers activated Mize (hamstring) from the 60-day injured list Friday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Mize missed two months of action with a strained hamstring but is ready to rejoin the Tigers rotation with a start Friday against the Red Sox. The right-hander looked good in four rehab starts with Triple-A Toledo, posting a 2.63 ERA and 17:4 K:BB across 13.2 frames. He threw 78 pitches in his final rehab outing, so Mize should be available for close to a full workload Friday. He holds a 4.23 ERA and 58:21 K:BB in 78.2 innings covering 16 starts for Detroit this season.
