Pfaadt (8-6) allowed four runs on six hits and two walks while striking out eight over six innings to take the loss versus the Giants on Thursday.

Pfaadt had trouble against the top of the Giants' lineup, which was able to generate two runs in each of the first and third innings. This was Pfaadt's longest start since May 19 against the Dodgers, and it also saw him rack up a season high in strikeouts, but he was outmatched by a complete-game performance from San Francisco starter Robbie Ray. Pfaadt is now at a 5.42 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 80:23 K:BB across 91.1 innings over 18 outings. He's lined up to make his next start on the road in San Diego.

Ray (9-3) pitched a complete game to earn the win over the Diamondbacks on Thursday. He allowed two runs on three hits and a walk while striking out seven over nine innings.

Ray was perfect through four innings before giving up a solo home run to Eugenio Suarez in the fifth. Ketel Marte added a solo shot in the ninth, but Ray was allowed to finish off the contest, doing so on 102 pitches (69 strikes) in a stellar performance. The southpaw has logged a quality start each time he's gone at least six frames this season, with this being his 12th quality start in 18 outings. It was also his first complete game since his lone career shutout back in 2017 when he was a member of the Diamondbacks. Ray has a 2.68 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 117:39 K:BB across 107.1 innings this season. His next start is projected to be at home versus the Phillies.

Glasnow (shoulder) allowed three earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out eight across 4.1 innings in a rehab outing with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday, Alex Freedman, the Communications Director for Oklahoma City reports.

Glasnow got mixed results, but his eight strikeouts were a positive. He also managed to ramp up to 78 pitches, reaching his target workload for the outing. There's no definitive word from the Dodgers on whether Glasnow's next start will come in the majors, but that appears to be a possibility.

Bassitt (8-4) earned the win Thursday over the Yankees, allowing three runs on eight hits and three walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out nine.

Bassitt had to contend with traffic for most of his outing, though he managed to hold the Yankees to three runs while posting his highest strikeout total since April 16 en route to an eventual 8-5 Toronto victory. It was a step in the right direction for Bassitt, who gave up nine runs (eight earned) over just two innings during his last outing against the Red Sox. Overall, the 36-year-old right-hander sports a 4.32 ERA with a 1.39 WHIP and 102:28 K:BB across 18 starts (100 innings) this season. Bassitt is currently scheduled to face the White Sox on the road his next time out.

Schmidt will undergo an MRI on his forearm Friday, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Schmidt was removed from Thursday's game after three innings due to right forearm tightness. The initial diagnosis is certainly concerning, particularly because Schmidt has already undergone Tommy John surgery once, though a clearer timeline for his return should emerge after the imaging comes back.

Quintana (6-3) took the loss Thursday against the Mets, allowing three runs on six hits over 5.1 innings. He struck out three.

Quintana was solid for the most part Thursday against his former team, allowing just one run through his first five innings. However, the left-hander would be charged with another two runs after allowing three straight singles in the sixth in an eventual 3-2 defeat for Milwaukee. The 36-year-old veteran has been shaky of late, posting a 5.06 ERA over his last four outings (21.1 innings). Overall, Quintana's ERA sits at 3.44 through 12 starts (65.1 innings) with a 1.53 WHIP and 44:27 K:BB. He's currently lined up for a tough home matchup with the Dodgers his next time out.

Peterson (6-4) earned the win Thursday over the Brewers, allowing two runs (one earned) on five hits and three walks over 6.2 innings. He struck out four.

It was a strong bounce-back performance from Peterson, who'd given up 10 runs over 8.2 innings in his previous two starts. The left-hander lowered his ERA to 3.18 with a 1.27 WHIP and 87:37 K:BB over 17 starts (102 innings) this season. Peterson is currently lined up to face the Orioles on the road in his next outing.

Enns (1-1) took the loss Thursday against the Nationals, allowing eight runs (seven earned) on eight hits and two walks over four innings. He struck out three.

After turning in five shutout innings against the A's in his first start this year, it was a different story for Enns his second time out. The Nats jumped on the left-hander for five runs in the first inning, capped by a three-run Paul DeJong homer. With Reese Olson (finger) slated to rejoin the Tigers' rotation Friday, Enns likely won't stick in the rotation.

Irvin (7-3) earned the win Thursday over the Tigers, allowing three runs on three hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out four.

It looked like it would be a short outing for Irvin after he gave up a three-run homer to Spencer Torkelson in the first inning. However, the right-hander would turn things around and hold Detroit without a hit over his final five frames en route to his seventh win this year. It's a strong bounce-back effort for Irvin, who was tagged for nine runs (eight earned) in his previous start against the Angels. Overall, he sports a 4.71 ERA with a 1.29 WHIP and 75:33 K:BB across 18 starts (105 innings) this season. Irvin is currently lined up to face the Cardinals on the road in his next outing.

The Yankees announced that Schmidt was removed from his start Thursday against the Blue Jays due to right forearm tightness, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. He yielded three earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out a batter over three innings prior to departing.

Schmidt didn't show any obvious signs of injury over the first three innings, but reliever Clayton Beeter came out for the top of the fourth before the Yankees provided an explanation for Schmidt's early removal. The severity of the injury likely won't be known until Schmidt undergoes further testing over the next few days, but his potential absence for any length of time is a major concern for a rotation that's already been depleted this season. Notably, Schmidt previously underwent Tommy John surgery on his right forearm/elbow in 2017.
