Suarez (10-4) took the loss against the Athletics on Friday, allowing four runs on six hits and three walks with six strikeouts over six innings.

Suarez allowed three two-out runs in a rough third inning and then yielded another run in the fifth. While the Phillies offense didn't help much Friday, he has been stuck on 10 wins since June 8 and has surrendered 16 earned runs over his past three outings. The first-time All-Star still owns an impressive 2.76 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 112:26 K:BB this season and will look to hit the reset button over the break.

Martin (elbow) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Friday and will start for Triple-A Charlotte, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Martin underwent Tommy John surgery in May of 2023 but has completed his lengthy rehab process and will join Charlotte's starting rotation. The 27-year-old was deployed as a starter in nine of his 14 appearances with the White Sox last season and he's still on the team's 40-man roster, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him called up during the second half of 2024.

The Mariners reinstated Woo (hamstring) from the 15-day injured list ahead of his start Friday against the Angels.

Woo made his lone rehab start July 6 with High-A Everett, throwing 45 pitches over 2.2 innings and allowing two runs on one hit and two walks while striking out two. In his eight starts prior to landing on the injured list June 25 with a strained hamstring, Woo went 3-1 with a 1.77 ERA, 0.69 WHIP and 28:3 K:BB across 40.2 innings. To make room on the 26-man roster for Woo, the Mariners optioned right-hander Eduard Bazardo to Triple-A Tacoma.

Manager Pedro Grifol said Crochet will be on an unspecified pitch count Friday against the Pirates. Additionally, the left-hander will line up to work Chicago's fifth game after the All-Star break, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.

Crochet is nearly halfway through his first season as a starter and he's already thrown 105.1 innings, so the White Sox are taking steps to limit his workload. The 25-year-old's name has also been thrown around plenty in trade rumors, so it's not surprising to see the team take steps to ensure he remains healthy. Grifol didn't specify how long Crochet would be able to pitch Friday, or if the restrictions would continue. If he does end up being used as the team's fifth pitcher coming out of the All-Star break, he'd be on schedule to face the Rangers in Texas on 10 days rest.

Garcia (elbow) threw from flat ground Friday instead of off a mound, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Garcia was roughed up in his rehab start with Double-A Corpus Christi on July 4, allowing four earned runs on three hits and one walk while striking out two over 1.1 innings. Astros manager Joe Espada noted that Garcia "did not bounce back" as well as the team had hoped after that start, so the 27-year-old right-hander has been limited to playing catch since, per Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Yamamoto (shoulder) played catch from 60 feet twice this week, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

It's an encouraging step for the right-hander, who had been shut down from throwing since he landed on the injured list with a rotator cuff strain in mid-June. Yamamoto will need to build his arm strength up before he returns to throwing off a mound. He's likely not particularly close to a return, as he'll need multiple rehab starts before rejoining the Dodgers.

Manager David Bell said Friday that Ashcraft (elbow) won't be able to come back until September if he's able to return at all in 2024, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Ashcraft had his demotion to Triple-A Louisville voided earlier this week, and he was placed on the injured list with a right elbow strain instead. Previous reports indicated that Ashcraft would be shut down from throwing for at least two weeks, but the injury may require a longer recovery than initially anticipated. Carson Spiers has shifted into the fifth starter role in Ashcraft's place.

The Nationals optioned Adon to Triple-A Rochester on Friday.

Adon was recalled Monday and allowed a pair of runs across one inning against the Cardinals. He'll yield his spot on the active roster to Jackson Rutledge. Adon owns a 5.55 ERA across 60.0 innings with Rochester.

The Pirates reinstated Gonzales (forearm) from the 60-day injured list, and he'll start Friday's game against the White Sox.

Gonzales has been shelved since April due to a forearm strain, but he's been cleared to return and will immediately step into the rotation. The veteran lefty did struggle during a pair of rehab starts at Triple-A, recording a 6.14 ERA across 7.1 innings, but he'll likely have some room for error against a White Sox team that has one of the worst offenses in MLB.

The Guardians recalled Curry from Triple-A Columbus on Friday.

Curry will join the active roster in place of Sam Hentges (shoulder), who's been placed on the injured list. Curry has logged a 5.74 ERA across 15.2 innings with the Guardians this season.
