Rengifo went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Brewers.

Rengifo's playing time has picked up a bit while he has filled in for Yoan Moncada (ankle) at third base over the last few days, though Moncada was able to appear as a pinch hitter Thursday. Rengifo has gone 10-for-53 (.189) over 16 games in September while slipping into a utility role as the Angels get a look at some prospects in an injury-riddled infield. For the season, Rengifo has nine homers, 43 RBI, 53 runs scored, 10 stolen bases and a .240/.291/.340 slash line, with that .631 OPS being his worst since 2021.

Kikuchi allowed two runs on five hits and three walks while striking out two over 5.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Brewers on Thursday.

Kikuchi has walked at least three batters in four of his last seven starts. He's at least gotten the rest of his work under control, allowing just three runs over his last 11.2 innings, but his winless stretch reached seven games Thursday. For the season, Kikuchi has a 4.05 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 168:73 K:BB through 173.1 innings. The southpaw is tentatively projected for his last start of the season at home against the Royals next week.

Povich (3-8) was charged with the loss Thursday against the Yankees, allowing three runs on five hits and four walks in five innings. He struck out five.

While Povich did manage to hurl at least five innings for a fourth consecutive start, the four walks were his most since his April 18 outing against the Reds. The southpaw did strike out the side in the fourth frame as well, but he remains without a quality start since Aug. 10 against the Athletics. Povich has an underwhelming 5.06 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 114:41 K:BB over 106.2 innings this year, and he's next set to take the ball versus a Rays team with a strong .799 OPS against left-handed pitching since the beginning of September.

Fried (18-5) picked up the win Thursday against the Orioles, allowing three hits and one walk in seven shutout innings. He struck out 13.

Fried had Baltimore out of sorts, tying a career high with 13 punchouts while inducing an incredible 28 whiffs. It was the second time this season that the All-Star southpaw racked up double-digit strikeouts, and he pitched at least seven innings for the fourth time in his last five outings. Through 188.1 innings this year, Fried boasts a 2.92 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 182:49 K:BB. His next appearance could be his final regular-season start, which is tentatively set to come against a White Sox club with a paltry .611 OPS versus left-handed pitching since the beginning of September.

Vazquez (shoulder) went 0-for-3 with two walks and a run scored in a rehab appearance with Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday.

Vazquez kicked off a rehab stint Thursday, hitting second in the order while serving as the designated hitter. He'll likely need to get some reps behind the plate prior to rejoining the Twins, so he may still be a few days away from being activated off the IL.

Ginn (4-6) picked up the win Thursday against the Red Sox, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out three.

Thursday marked Ginn's first quality start since July 27 in Houston, and he's now yielded just three runs over his first 15.1 innings of the month. The right-hander also took on a season-high workload, tossing 98 pitches, and he generated an impressive 14 whiffs. Next week's scheduled outing against the division-rival Astros could be the final appearance of the year for Ginn, who'll be looking to build on Thursday's performance and improve his middling 4.57 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 95:28 K:BB over 86.2 innings.

Bello (11-8) was charged with the loss Thursday against the Athletics, allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits and two walks in four innings. He struck out three.

It was the first time Bello was unable fire at least five innings since way back on May 28, and the 70 pitches represented his second-lowest total of the season. The month of September hasn't been kind so far for the right-hander, who has a 5.85 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 13:9 K:BB across his last 20 innings. Bello will be aiming to right the ship in what may be his final appearance of the regular season next week in Toronto, where he'll bring a career-best 3.34 ERA and 1.24 WHIP to go with a 121:56 K:BB over 161.2 frames.

Bassitt (11-9) took the loss Thursday against Tampa Bay, allowing three runs on eight hits and two walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out three.

All three runs charged to Bassitt came in the second inning, when the Rays strung together five straight two-out singles. The 36-year-old Bassitt has gone 10 starts without a win (his last victory came on July 23), though he had pitched to a 2.30 ERA in five outings prior to Thursday. Overall, the right-hander sports a 3.96 ERA with a 1.33 WHIP and 166:52 K:BB through 170.1 innings this season. Bassitt's currently in line to face the Red Sox at home his next time out.

Baz (10-12) earned the win Thursday over the Blue Jays, allowing two hits and a walk over five scoreless innings. He struck out four.

After giving up five runs in just 2.1 innings against the Cubs his last time out, Baz bounced back with an impressive showing against the Blue Jays with his second scoreless outing in his last four starts. It's been an up-and-down year overall for the 26-year-old Baz, who sports a 4.99 ERA with a 1.35 WHIP and 173:61 K:BB through 30 starts (162.1 innings). He's currently lined up to face the Orioles on the road his next time out.

Gaddis earned the save in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Tigers, allowing one hit with no strikeouts or walks in a scoreless ninth inning.

After closer Cade Smith had pitched back-to-back days, Gaddis got the call in the ninth inning Thursday. The right-hander worked around a leadoff single to close out a two-run victory, picking up his third save this season. Gaddis has turned in seven straight scoreless innings, allowing just four hits in that span. His ERA sits at 3.11 through 63.2 innings this season with a 1.18 WHIP and 65:21 K:BB.
