Rengifo isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mariners, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

The Halos will give Rengifo a day off after the 28-year-old went 2-for-16 with three RBI over his last five games. Chris Taylor will man the keystone instead Thursday and bat sixth.

Peraza isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Mariners, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Peraza will receive a day to recollect himself Thursday after beginning September with a .572 OPS through 10 games. His absence will open a spot in the lineup for Logan Davidson to step in as Los Angeles' first baseman and bat eighth.

Rivero isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game versus Seattle, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Rivero started three straight games behind the plate upon coming up from Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday, going 3-for-11 with two RBI and three runs scored in the process. He'll now receive a day off with Travis d'Arnaud set to catch for Jose Soriano.

Arias (wrist) isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game versus Kansas City.

Arias is expected to play through his wrist injury to help the Guardians push for a spot in the postseason, but not before he misses a third consecutive start Thursday. Brayan Rocchio will fill in at shortstop in Arias' absence, putting Daniel Schneemann at second base and opening a spot in the lineup for George Valera to serve as Cleveland's designated hitter.

Seymour (3-2) took the loss Thursday against the White Sox, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks across 5.1 innings. He struck out five.

It's the second straight loss for Seymour, who gave up five runs (though just one earned) over four innings in a relief appearance against the Guardians last Friday. Despite his recent stumble, Seymour has been solid when working in the rotation, allowing just four earned runs across 15.1 innings in three starts. The left-hander is currently lined up to face the Blue Jays at home his next time out, should Tampa elect to keep Seymour in the rotation.

Smith (6-7) earned the win Thursday over the Rays, allowing four hits and a walk across 5.2 scoreless innings. He struck out four.

It's the third win in four starts for Smith, who's posted a 2.25 ERA with a 0.71 WHIP in that span (24 innings). Overall, the rookie right-hander sports a 3.78 ERA with a 1.18 WHIP and 122:53 K:BB in 26 starts (131 innings) this season. Smith will look to keep rolling in his next outing, tentatively scheduled for next week at home against the Orioles.

Javier (1-3) took the loss Thursday against Toronto, allowing four runs on six hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out six.

Javier got off to a rocky start Thursday, allowing two runs in the opening inning before giving up a leadoff homer to Davis Schneider in the second. Javier would eventually settle in and hold the Jays to one run over his final four frames, though he'd ultimately come away with the loss in a 6-0 defeat. In six starts since rejoining Houston's rotation, the 28-year-old Javier's posted a 4.78 ERA with a 1.29 WHIP and 26:13 K:BB across 26.1 innings. He's currently scheduled to face the Rangers at home in his next outing.

Gausman (10-10) earned the win in a complete-game shutout of the Astros on Thursday, allowing just two hits and a walk while striking out nine.

It was a spectacular performance from Gausman, who held the Astros to a pair of singles while throwing exactly 100 pitches in his first complete game since July of 2024. The 34-year-old Gausman has been rolling of late, giving up just two runs over 24 innings in his last three starts, posting a 24:2 K:BB in that span. His ERA is down to 3.44 on the year with a 1.00 WHIP and 171 strikeouts through 29 starts (177.2 innings). Gausman is currently lined up to face the Rays on the road in his next outing.

The Angels placed Detmers on the 15-day injured list Thursday with left elbow inflammation.

Detmers had to depart Wednesday's game against the Twins due to the injury after not liking how the ball was coming out of his hand. The injury may end the southpaw's campaign as he won't be eligible to return until the final series of the season. In a corresponding move, the Angels recalled Chase Silseth from Triple-A Salt Lake.

The Angels recalled Silseth from Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday.

The moves comes as the Angels place Reid Detmers (elbow) on the 15-day injured list. Silseth appeared in one game for Triple-A Salt Lake after his demotion Sunday, in which he allowed no runs on two hits in one inning.
