Bergert did not factor in the decision during Sunday's win over the White Sox. He allowed two runs (one earned) on six hits and two walks over 5.1 innings while striking out seven.

Bergert coughed up a solo homer to Lenyn Sosa in the first inning but settled in after. The White Sox were mostly silenced until the sixth inning when they scratched across an unearned run. Bergert tossed 62 of 95 pitches for strikes and forced 15 whiffs, including eight with his slider. He's been impressive since joining Kansas City, posting a 2.70 ERA with a 17:5 K:BB through 16.2 frames. For the year, Bergert owns a 2.75 ERA and a 51:23 K:BB across 52.1 innings. He's currently in line to take the mound in Detroit for his next appearance.

Suarez (shoulder) struck out a batter and allowed one earned run on one hit and two walks over three innings in his rehab start Sunday for Triple-A Norfolk.

After kicking off his rehab assignment Tuesday at Double-A Chesapeake with a two-inning start, Suarez moved up a level and tacked an inning on to his workload in his second outing in the minors. The Orioles are expected to deploy Suarez in long relief once he's activated from the 60-day injured list, but he'll likely continue to get further stretched out during his rehab assignment just in case he's needed to provide insurance for the rotation over the final month of the season. Suarez has been on the shelf since March 30 due to a right subscapularis strain.

Springer went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer during Sunday's 10-4 loss to the Rangers.

Springer made Sunday's blowout look a little more respectable with a two-run blast to left-center field in the eighth. He has collected a hit in each of his two games since returning from a concussion Saturday. Springer has a 1.107 OPS with one steal, two doubles, 15 runs, three homers and six RBI in 61 plate appearances since the All-Star break.

Guerrero went 2-for-4 with a solo home run during Sunday's 10-4 loss to Texas.

The Blue Jays batters were held in check for the most part by Nathan Eovaldi through seven innings, though Guerrero was able to break through with a solo shot to left-center field for his 21st homer of the season and sixth since the beginning of August. Guerrero has seen his numbers creep up with every passing month, and since the All-Star break he has slashed .368/.442/.702 with 11 doubles, 24 runs, nine home runs and 22 RBI over 129 plate appearances.

Martin did not factor in the decision during Sunday's loss to Kansas City. He allowed a hit and three walks over six scoreless frames while striking out four.

Martin retired the first nine batters he faced and delivered his first scoreless appearance since April 27. He did not give up a hit until the sixth inning and did not face much trouble throughout his start. Martin turned in his first quality start since June 6; in five appearances between quality starts, he registered a 5.74 ERA across 26.2 frames. Martin now owns a 3.94 ERA with a 74:34 K:BB through 107.1 innings. He's projected for a home matchup against the Twins next weekend.

Berrios (9-5) took the loss against the Rangers on Sunday, allowing six runs on 10 hits while striking out two across 4.1 innings. He did not issue a walk.

Berrios entered Sunday's game having won four of his last five starts. That momentum was brought to a screeching halt, with Berrios giving up two home runs before being pulled midway through the fifth after tossing 87 pitches (56 strikes). It was the fourth time he has given up six runs in a game, with the last instance taking place July 2 against the Yankees. Berrios has yielded 140 hits (across 146.1 innings) this season, which is fifth most in the American League. He'll aim to get back into the win column in his next start, which is tentatively lined up for next weekend on the road against the Marlins.

Loaisiga (back) began a rehab assignment Sunday with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and struck out a batter while allowing one hit and one walk over one scoreless inning.

Loaisiga was placed on the 15-day injured list Aug. 3 due to right mid-back stiffness, but his ability to begin a rehab assignment two weeks later suggests he won't be in line for an extended stay on the shelf. The right-hander had submitted a 4.25 ERA and 1.48 WHIP while collecting one save and seven holds over 29.2 innings before landing on the IL.

Seager went 2-for-5 with a solo homer and an additional run scored during Sunday's 10-4 win over the Blue Jays.

Seager entered Sunday's contest having gone 0-for-15 with one steal over his last four games. He broke out of his slump with a solo homer in the fifth before being brought home in the ninth on a two-run blast from Evan Carter. Seager has a .778 OPS with two steals, five homers and 14 RBI in 119 plate appearances since the All-Star break.

Semien went 3-for-4 with a double, a two-run homer and an additional run scored in Sunday's 10-4 win over Toronto.

Semien was held out of the lineup Saturday after being hit in the right wrist by a pitch in Friday's loss to the Blue Jays. He was back in the lineup for Sunday's contest and made his presence felt immediately with a two-run homer to left field in the second inning. Semien has posted a .585 OPS with three home runs and 12 RBI over 119 plate appearances since the All-Star break, and Sunday's efforts marked his first multi-hit game since July 30 against the Angels.

Langford went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer during Sunday's 10-4 win over the Blue Jays.

Langford was one of five Texas batters to smack a home run Sunday, with his taking place in the sixth inning to give the Rangers an 8-1 lead. He's up to 17 long balls on the season, which surpasses his total from his rookie campaign, though he has just two homers since the All-Star break. Langford has notched a hit in six of his last seven games and has gone 7-for-26 (.269) over that span.
