Castillo allowed three runs on four hits and three walks while striking out two over 2.2 innings of relief in a no-decision versus the Cardinals on Saturday.

Castillo handled the largest workload for the White Sox in this game, but it amounted to a bullpen game in the end. Castillo has allowed at least three runs in each of his last five appearances, giving up 21 runs (20 earned) over 18 innings in that span. He's at a 5.67 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 111:43 K:BB through 128.2 innings over 27 games (23 starts) this season. It's not yet clear if he'll start or work out of the bullpen in his next outing, which is projected to be at home versus the Tigers.

Joyce was charged with his second blown save of the season in Saturday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Nationals, allowing one run on one hit and one walk in the ninth inning. He struck out one.

The Angels staged a late rally to take a 5-4 lead in the top of the ninth inning, but Joyce couldn't close the door in the bottom of the frame. The right-hander is 4-for-6 in converting save chances since taking over the closer role in mid-August, and over 10 appearances since he's posted a 4.82 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 12:6 K:BB in 9.1 innings.

Urena didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 6-5, extra-inning loss to the Nationals, giving up four runs on nine hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out seven.

All the damage off Urena came in the first two innings, but the right-hander settled in after that and was taken off the hook for a loss when the Angels staged a late rally from a 4-0 deficit. It's the first time since Aug. 8 that Urena's been tagged for more than three runs, and over his first 137.1 big-league innings he's produced a 2.88 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 131:67 K:BB. He'll look for his 10th win of the season in his next outing, which is set to come at home next week against the Twins.

Baker threw 1.1 scoreless innings for the save Saturday against the Astros, allowing one hit and no walks. He struck out one.

Baker recorded more than three outs Saturday for just the second time this season. The All-Star closer continues to be dominant, giving up only three earned runs in 27 appearances since the start of July. He has a 1.54 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 62:21 K:BB with a major-league-leading 40 saves (43 opportunities) over 58.1 innings in 2026.

Seymour didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the Astros, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out 10.

Seymour flooded the zone Saturday, pouring in 58 of his 79 pitches for strikes in a strong start. The southpaw tends to get hurt by the long ball, as he's served up at least one home run in seven of his last eight outings, but he's fanned at least seven on six occasions during that span. He'll bring a 4.27 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 150:34 K:BB over 122.1 innings into his next scheduled appearance against the division-rival Red Sox.

Moncada (knee) isn't expected to play again this season, MLB.com reports.

Moncada underwent right knee surgery in early June. He's been rehabbing at his home in Florida but isn't close to a return to game action. In the likely event that Moncada's campaign is indeed over, he'll finish with a .189/.308/.297 slash line, three homers, nine runs, 10 RBI and one stolen base over 41 games.

Lambert (8-9) took the loss Saturday against the Rays, allowing three runs on six hits and no walks in six-plus innings. He struck out four.

Lambert pounded the zone Saturday, throwing 62 of his 85 pitches for strikes before being chased in the seventh inning following a Liam Hicks double. The right-hander has now posted consecutive quality starts, and he's also given up three runs or fewer in 12 of his last 13 outings. He'll take a 3.71 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 141:56 K:BB over 145.2 innings into his next scheduled appearance against Atlanta.

Campero (hamstring) isn't expected to play again this season, MLB.com reports.

Campero suffered a right hamstring strain in late August and subsequently landed on the IL. He's spent most of 2026 in the minors, compiling a .313/.389/.525 slash line with 13 homers, 61 runs, 54 RBI and 12 stolen bases over 69 games across three levels. If Campero's season is indeed over, he'll end up having gone 4-for-11 with one double and two RBI over four contests with the Angels.

Prielipp (5-7) earned the win against the Guardians on Saturday, allowing three runs on five hits and no walks with one strikeout over 5.1 innings.

Prielipp benefited from a four-run third inning from the Twins' offense, and he filled the strike zone with 57 of 77 pitches despite generating only five whiffs. The 25-year-old has now yielded three earned runs or fewer in four straight outings, with his two appearances prior to Saturday coming in bulk relief. He owns a 5.24 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 117:40 K:BB across 113.1 frames in his rookie campaign and lines up to face the Angels next weekend, though it's unclear in what role that may be.

Kirk went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Orioles.

The backstop collected an RBI single in the first inning before taking Kyle Bradish deep for a two-run homer in the third. Kirk is up to 10 homers on the season, and five of them have come in his last 20 games -- a stretch in which he's batting .288 (23-for-80) with 17 RBI as the Jays make a push for a wild-card spot.
