Rasmussen (15-5) earned the win Thursday over the A's, allowing four hits and two walks over five scoreless innings. He struck out three.

It was another strong outing from Rasmussen, who's given up just five runs over 31 innings in his last five starts. The right-hander's ERA is down to 2.72 across 29 starts (165.1 innings) this season with a 0.93 WHIP and 163:29 K:BB. Rasmussen currently lines up to face the Yankees on the road his next time out.

Harrison (10-5) took the loss Thursday against the Pirates, allowing five runs (four earned) on four hits and two walks over 1.2 innings. He struck out two.

Harrison's struggles continued in his return to the Brewers' rotation. After turning in a scoreless first inning, the southpaw imploded in the second as Pittsburgh put up a five spot. Harrison has now given up a staggering 21 earned runs across just nine frames in his last four appearances. His ERA is up to 4.25 through 112.1 innings this season with a 1.34 WHIP and 136:35 K:BB. Given his difficulties Thursday, Harrison figures to return to Milwaukee's bullpen down the stretch and may not be guaranteed a place on the postseason roster.

Singer (6-15) took the loss Thursday against the Dodgers, allowing seven runs on nine hits and four walks over 3.1 innings. He didn't record a strikeout.

The Dodgers got to Singer quickly Thursday, scoring two runs in both of the first two innings before the right-hander was charged for three more runs in the fourth. It's been a rough finish to the season for Singer -- he's now given up 25 earned runs across just 16.2 frames in his last four starts. His ERA is up to 5.67 through 30 starts (154 innings) this season with a 1.56 WHIP and 125:60 K:BB. Singer will look to turn things around his next time out, tentatively scheduled to come on the road in Atlanta next week.

The Nationals activated Gray (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Thursday, Kyle Williams of TheBanner.com reports.

Gray has not pitched in the big leagues since April 2024, as he was initially rehabbing from Tommy John surgery, and more recently, a flexor strain. The righty was unscored upon in his final eight rehab appearances, though he struck out only four batters in 8.1 frames over that stretch. Gray could eventually get another opportunity in the Nationals' rotation, but he'll be deployed as a reliever down the stretch of this season.

Povich will rejoin the Orioles this weekend and is likely to make a start against the Brewers, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Povich had been slated to start for Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday, but he was scratched from that scheduled outing and could take the ball for the Orioles as soon as Friday. The left-hander has logged a 4.05 ERA and 25:13 K:BB over 33.1 frames covering six starts and one relief outing with the big club this season. With Kyle Bradish (sports hernia) done for the season, Povich could make an additional start next week.

The Reds announced Tuesday that Holman (elbow) has been assigned to the Arizona Fall League, which begins Oct. 3.

Since being drafted by the Reds in 2024, Holman has logged just 15.2 total innings in the professional ranks. He underwent elbow surgery early in the 2025 season and didn't resume pitching until late June of the current season. Holman made four rehab appearances in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League but may have hit a snag in his recovery along the way, as he didn't pitch after July 21. His inclusion on the Peoria Javelinas' roster in the Fall League implies that he's healthy again and ready to stack up some innings.

Bubic allowed one hit and struck out two batters over one scoreless inning in a loss to Cincinnati on Wednesday.

Bubic's appearance was his first in the majors since Los Angeles acquired him in a trade with Kansas City in early August. The veteran lefty looked good Wednesday, throwing 13 of 19 pitches for strikes and hitting 95.9 mph with his fastball, well above his season average of 91.8 mph (with the caveat that his other nine outings were starts). Bubic has less than two weeks to get settled in before the playoffs, but he could be deployed as a bullpen weapon for the Dodgers during the postseason.

Aguiar (undisclosed) struck out two and allowed three earned runs on four hits and no walks over four innings for Triple-A Louisville on Saturday after being reinstated from the 7-day injured list.

Aguiar, who had been on the shelf since July 21, was cleared to rejoin the Louisville rotation after making just one three-inning rehab start at High-A Dayton earlier this month. The 25-year-old righty owns a 6.27 ERA and 1.55 WHIP over 47.1 innings across 12 starts with Louisville on the season.

Doyle (blister) is listed as Double-A Springfield's probable starter for Thursday's Texas League playoff game versus Tulsa.

Doyle was lifted from his last outing with Springfield due to a blister, but he's ready to go after getting seven days of rest in between starts. The left-hander was dynamite down the stretch of the regular season, collecting a 1.73 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 59:25 K:BB over 52 innings covering his final 10 starts.

Eovaldi improved to 11-9 on the season after allowing one hit and no walks while striking out one batter over four scoreless innings out of the bullpen in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Red Sox.

Eovaldi made his second relief appearance since coming off the injured list last weekend and shut down the Red Sox. He was needed for length as starter MacKenzie Gore battled muscle spasms in his shoulder and was limited to four innings. After tossing 46 pitches Wednesday, Eovaldi could be built up enough to make an abbreviated start or bulk-relief appearance at some point during the final week of the regular season. The Rangers could have some openings in the rotation, as Gore and Cal Quantrill (back) are battling injuries, while Cody Bradford has gone 0-5 with a 4.72 ERA in his seven starts since returning from the 60-day IL in early August.
