Cueto (3-4) allowed five hits and no walks while striking out five across eight innings to earn the win Saturday against the Tigers.

Cueto limited the Tigers to only one-extra base hit on the strength of inducing 12 groundball outs. It was his longest outing of the season, and he has now turned in six quality starts across his last eight starts. Cueto has been an effective member of the White Sox's rotation, maintaining a 2.91 ERA and a 53:18 K:BB across 68 frames on the season.

Wright (10-4) earned the win during Saturday's 4-3 victory over Washington, allowing three runs on eight hits and two walks with five strikeouts in seven innings.

Wright limited the damage to a Juan Soto solo shot through six frames but surrendered a Yadiel Hernandez home run in the seventh and walked Soto before being yanked in the eighth. Soto eventually came around to score, but Will Smith was able to keep the lead, bringing Wright into a tie for third in the majors with 10 wins. The 26-year-old was efficient in requiring only 84 pitches to surpass seven frames and induced an impressive 13 swinging strikes, though keeping 66 pitches in the strike zone led to 10 baserunners allowed. Wright is slated to take the mound in a road rematch with Washington next week.

Gibson allowed two hits and no walks while striking out five across seven scoreless innings Saturday against the Cardinals. He did not factor into the decision.

Gibson entered Saturday's start having allowed 11 earned runs in the span of 6.2 innings across his previous two starts. However, he shut down the Cardinals' offense and tallied 16 swinging strikes across 84 total pitches. Gibson now owns a 4.53 ERA and a 75:25 K:BB across 91.1 frames on the campaign.

Garrett allowed three runs on three hits and one walk while striking out three over 5.2 innings against the Mets on Saturday. He did not factor in the decision.

All of the damage against Garrett came by way of the home run -- he served up a solo blast to Pete Alonso in the fourth inning and a two-run homer to Francisco Lindor in the sixth. The latter long ball spelled the end of Garrett's outing, but he fared fairly well overall, giving up a season-low three total hits. The southpaw has had a few poor outings so far, but he's held the opposition to three or fewer earned runs in five of his seven appearances on the campaign.

Carrasco did not factor in the decision against Miami on Saturday, pitching 5.2 innings and allowing two runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five.

It wasn't an easy outing for Carrasco -- he gave up seven hits (including three that went for extra bases) and retired the side in order in only one frame -- but he was able to keep Miami off the scoreboard through five innings. However, the Marlins finally got to him in the sixth when four straight hitters reached base with one out, leading to the veteran hurler's removal. Carrasco ended up being charged for two total runs, but he emerged with a no-decision. After struggling mightily in his final two starts in June, Carrasco has allowed just three earned runs over 11.1 frames while striking out 13 batters over his first two appearances in July.

DeGrom (shoulder) will make a rehab start either Wednesday or Thursday with Triple-A Syracuse, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

DeGrom managed to throw 36 pitches in the second start of his rehab assignment Friday, and he's expected to clear 50 pitches with Syracuse in his upcoming appearance. It's unclear whether the Mets may elect to activate deGrom and limit his pitch count after that outing, or if he will make a final rehab start before rejoining the big-league club.

Greene did not factor in the decision against Tampa Bay on Saturday, pitching six innings and allowing one run on three hits and four walks while striking out nine.

Greene hurled 114 pitches in the outing, four short of the career-high 118 he tossed May 15 against Pittsburgh. The rookie was throwing heat Saturday -- per MLB Pipeline, 38 of his offerings clocked in at 100 mph or above, the second most of any pitcher in the Statcast era. Unfortunately for Greene, the Reds offense couldn't get much going against Tampa Bay until late in the game, and he had to settle for a no-decision. Greene has had his ups and downs in his first big-league campaign, but he has certainly flashed big potential, especially in terms of his ability to miss bats. He's tied for 10th in the majors with 107 strikeouts overall and ranks fourth among qualified starters with an 11.3 K/9.

Rasmussen tossed four scoreless innings against Cincinnati on Saturday, allowing four hits and two walks while striking out six. He did not factor in the decision.

Rasmussen was effective in his second start following a recent stint on the IL due to a hamstring injury, but Cincinnati fouled off 24 pitches against him to help drive his pitch count up to 84 over four frames. Consequently, he was unable to go five innings for the second straight start since he returned. Nonetheless, it was a promising outing for the right-hander, and he has now given up just one earned run over 8.2 innings since his activation. Rasmussen hasn't thrown more than 88 pitches in any of his appearances this season, but that's usually enough for him to qualify for a win when he's pitching as effectively as he did Saturday.

Kirby was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday.

Kirby has struggled a bit across his last three starts, allowing 10 earned runs, 22 hits and three walks in the span of 15.1 innings. However, this move likely has more to do with the team managing his workload as the All-Star break approaches, as he's already thrown 89 frames combined between Double-A Arkansas and Seattle in 2022. Kirby threw only 67.2 innings in 2021, and the Mariners aren't likely to take many chances with one of the best pitchers in the organization.

Gausman (ankle) will not start Sunday's game at Seattle, Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun reports.

Gausman threw a bullpen session Friday but isn't feeling well enough to return to the mound. The team is hoping he'll be able to start Tuesday against the Phillies, though that is not yet confirmed. Max Castillo is an option to start Sunday's game against the Mariners, but manager Charlie Montoyo has announced that it will be a bullpen game.
