Henry improved to 5-1 in Friday's win over the Angels after striking out eight while allowing one run on four hits and two walks over 5.2 innings.

Henry set a new season high for strikeouts and now has only four earned runs allowed over his last three starts. The southpaw has rebounded nicely after allowing 10 runs across nine innings pitched to begin the month of June.

McClanahan was pulled after three innings in Friday's start against the Mariners after his back flared up, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

McClanahan allowed four earned runs on five hits and three walks, and the Rays initially claimed the quick hook was a result of ineffectiveness rather than injury. However, after the game, manager Kevin Cash admitted that McClanahan's back became an issue. Further testing will be done, but Cash noted that a stint on the injured list is a possibility.

Gray (6-4) allowed five runs on seven hits and two walks over six innings Friday, striking out four and taking a loss against Houston.

Gray gave up one run through four frames before the Astros plated four total runs in the fifth and sixth innings. After a stretch of six straight outings allowing fewer than two runs, he's been charged with 12 runs over 13.1 frames in his last three appearances. The 31-year-old righty still owns a solid 3.21 ERA with a 73:27 K:BB through 15 starts. Gray is currently lined up to start in Boston next week.

Carrasco allowed two runs on five hits and three walks over five innings in Friday's loss to the Giants. He struck out six and did not factor in the decision.

Carrasco yielded one run through four frames before serving up a solo shot to Wilmer Flores in the fifth. Carrasco has allowed two runs in three of his last four starts but still owns an ugly 5.94 ERA through 53 innings. He hasn't finished more than five innings in an outing since May 31. The 36-year-old righty is projected to start in Arizona next week.

Marsh (0-1) allowed five runs on six hits and four walks while striking out five over four-plus innings to take the loss Friday versus the Dodgers.

Marsh drew a tough assignment for his debut, and it took Mookie Betts just five pitches to welcome the right-hander to the majors with a homer. Betts also went yard in the third inning and added an RBI single in the fourth after Marsh ran into more trouble. He had a combined 4.62 ERA and 1.52 WHIP over 62.1 innings between Double-A Northwest Arkansas and Triple-A Omaha prior to his debut, and it's likely Marsh will be heading back to the minors once Jordan Lyles (illness) is healthy.

Cobb allowed three runs (two earned) on six hits over five innings in Friday's win over the Mets. He struck out three and did not factor in the decision.

Cobb returned from a stint on the injured list with an oblique injury and made his first start since June 13. He tossed 56 of 79 pitches for strikes, including 10 whiffs. The veteran righty owns a strong 3.12 ERA and 79:21 K:BB across 83.2 frames this season. Cobb is currently lined up to face the Mariners at home next week.

Miller left Friday's start against the Rays with a blister on his right middle finger.

Miller went 3.1 innings and allowed two runs before being removed due to the blister. The right-hander should be considered day-to-day, but he has a chance to make his next scheduled start before the All-Star break.

Miller (4-1) allowed three runs on five hits and a walk while striking out four over 5.2 innings to earn the win over the Royals on Friday.

Miller came up one out short of a quality start, but this was still a vast improvement over his last two outings, in which he gave up a combined 13 runs over 9.2 innings. The rookie right-hander now has a 4.23 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 35:14 K:BB over 38.1 innings through his first seven big-league starts. He's still walking a few too many batters to be dominant, but his rotation spot is likely safe at least until Noah Syndergaard (finger) returns. Miller is projected for a home start versus the Pirates next week.

Lorenzen (2-6) allowed five runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out four over five innings to take the loss Friday versus the Rockies.

Lorenzen had three good starts and three bad ones in June, with his last outing of the month falling in the latter category. He's now lost four of his last eight starts, and he took no-decisions in the other four in that span. For the season, the right-hander has a 4.28 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 62:20 K:BB through 82 innings across 14 starts. Lorenzen is projected for a favorable home start versus the Athletics next week.

Miller left Friday's start against Tampa Bay with an apparent finger injury, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. He allowed two runs on one hit and one walk in 3.1 innings with six strikeouts before leaving.

Miller was visited by trainers early in the fourth inning to check on an issue with a finger on his right (pitching) hand, and after he allowed a two-run homer to Randy Arozarena, he was removed from the game. Matt Brash has taken over on the mound.
