Springs (3-3) was charged with the loss Friday against the Guardians after allowing three runs six hits with five strikeouts and one walk over five innings.

The left-hander kept Cleveland scoreless through three innings, but he gave up a run in the fourth and a two-run homer to Jose Ramirez in the fifth. Springs is without a victory in his past five starts, and he has a 5.32 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 27:4 K:BB across 23.2 frames during that stretch. He tentatively lines up to make his next start in Detroit next week.

Gibson was placed on the bereavement list Saturday.

Gibson picked up his sixth win of the season Wednesday against Atlanta, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out four in six innings. Players are allowed to spend between three and seven days on the bereavement list, so it's possible the the right-hander makes a start during the Phillies' road trip to Atlanta early next week.

Manoah (elbow) is feeling better Saturday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Manoah exited Friday's game against the Tigers with a right elbow contusion after being struck by a comebacker, but he underwent X-rays that came back negative. He'll rest for a few days before throwing a side session, and while the Blue Jays hope he won't need to miss a turn through the rotation, his availability for his next start will likely be determined based on how he feels after his upcoming throwing session.

Bieber (5-6) allowed a run on five hits and two walks with eight strikeouts in seven innings, earning the win over the Rays on Friday.

Bieber gave up six runs in his previous start, but he was back on track Friday with a sharp outing. He alternated good and bad starts in July, going 2-2 with a 4.23 ERA and 1.05 WHIP for the month in four turns through the rotation. The right-hander has a 3.41 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 118:28 K:BB in 118.2 innings through 19 starts. He's projected for a favorable home start versus the Diamondbacks next week.

Bello (0-3) was charged with the loss Friday versus the Brewers after giving up two runs on four hits with four strikeouts and three walks across 4.1 innings.

The 23-year-old replaced Austin Davis during the third inning with the game still scoreless, but Milwaukee scored single tallies in the sixth and seventh to put Bello on the hook for the loss. Bello made his big-league debut in early July and has an 8.82 ERA, 2.27 WHIP and 13:11 K:BB in 16.1 innings over his first four outings.

Woodruff (9-3) earned the win Friday at Boston after allowing one run on four hits with nine strikeouts and two walks over 6.1 innings.

Woodruff generated 19 swinging strikes on 101 total pitches, and he kept the Red Sox off the board besides besides giving up a run on back-to-back doubles during the sixth inning. The right-hander has been dominant in six starts since returning from the injured list in late June with a 4-0 record, 2.06 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 48:11 K:BB across 35 frames.

DeGrom (shoulder) will start Tuesday's game against the Nationals, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

DeGrom made four starts during his recent rehab assignment, and he posted a 2.84 ERA and 0.87 WHIP in 12.2 innings. While he gave up four runs in four innings during Wednesday's outing, he felt good afterward and will make his 2022 debut Tuesday on an extra day of rest. The right-hander threw 67 pitches during his most recent start, so it's possible that he'll have his workload monitored during Tuesday's matchup in Washington.

Quintana didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 4-2 extra-inning loss to the Phillies, allowing four hits and two walks over 5.2 scoreless innings while striking out four.

The veteran lefty didn't let a baserunner get past first base through five innings, but Quintana ran into trouble in the sixth and fell just short of a quality start as a result, exiting with the bases loaded and two outs. Fortunately for his line, Yerry De Los Santos got Nick Castellanos to fly out to end the threat, although the Bucs' bullpen ultimately imploded and cost Quintana the win. Even with a rough outing in Coors Field on his ledger, he's been sharp over the last month-plus, and Quintana sports a 3.23 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 34:9 K:BB through 39 innings over his last seven starts while serving up zero homers.

Falter didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 4-2 extra-inning win over the Pirates, giving up two runs on five hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out eight.

The eight punchouts were a career high for the southpaw, while the quality start was his first in the majors. Falter is still looking for his first win this season for the Phillies, and while he has an impressive 24:5 K:BB through 19 innings over four starts in July, he's also served up five homers and carries a 5.21 ERA during that stretch.

Cole didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 11-5 win over the Royals, surrendering five runs on seven hits over six innings. He struck out nine without walking a batter.

The right-hander showed his usual dominance and blanked Kansas City through four frames, but Cole ran into trouble in the fifth, eventually serving up a three-run blast to Salvador Perez. He exited with the Yankees down 5-3, but a massive rally in the eighth erased the deficit. Cole generated 19 swinging strikes among his 100 pitches, and he'll take a 3.30 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 162:32 K:BB through 125.1 innings into his next start.
