Burnes (13-7) picked up the win Monday against the White Sox, allowing two runs (one earned) on six hits and one walk across five innings. He struck out four.

Burnes struck out four or fewer for a third straight start, but he was able to get back into the win column after taking three consecutive losses. Since the start of August, Burnes has a 6.46 ERA and a 16:8 K:BB across 30.2 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to close out a two-start week this weekend against Tampa Bay.

Flexen (2-14) took the loss Monday against the Orioles, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks across 3.1 innings. He struck out five.

Flexen labored through three-plus frames, requiring 95 pitches (54 strikes) to retire just 10 batters. He's now lost 11 straight decisions (covering a span of 21 outings) and leads MLB with 14 losses this season. The right-hander has a 5.36 ERA in 137.2 frames in 2024.

Gilbert did not factor into the decision in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Athletics, allowing four runs on four hits and one walk with nine strikeouts over six innings.

Gilbert generated an impressive 16 whiffs on 95 pitches but was burned by a four-run third inning that included a three-run homer by Shea Langeliers. The 27-year-old righty has been inconsistent since the All-Star break, logging five quality starts while yielding 17 total earned runs in his other three outings. On the season, he owns a 3.19 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 181:32 K:BB across 177.2 innings and next lines up to face the Cardinals this weekend.

Bido did not factor into the decision in Monday's 5-4 win against the Mariners, allowing four runs on six hits and one walk with four strikeouts over 5.1 innings.

Bido entered the sixth inning with a 4-2 lead but yielded two runs on three hits before being lifted at 91 pitches. The 28-year-old ended a run of five consecutive starts allowing two earned runs or fewer and surrendered a home run for the first time since July 28. On the season, he owns a 3.52 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 60:25 K:BB across 61.1 innings and lines up to face the Tigers this weekend.

Cole exited Monday's start against the Rangers with a right calf cramp, Erik Boland of Newsday reports. He struck out nine and allowed one earned run on four hits and one walk over six innings and was in line for the win before leaving the game.

Cole came out for the seventh inning but exhibited discomfort during his warmup pitches. The Yankees pulled him from the game as a result, though he seems to have avoided anything serious. Even so, the team will monitor him closely for the next few days, which should help clarify his status for his next turn through the rotation, which is scheduled to come up Sunday in Chicago versus the Cubs or Monday at home versus the Royals.

Langeliers went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI in Monday's 5-4 win over the Mariners.

Langeliers gave the Athletics a 4-3 lead on a three-run homer in the third inning and then played hero with a walk-off blast in the bottom of the ninth. The 26-year-old has three multi-hit efforts with four extra-base hits and six RBI over his past five contests. On the season, he trails only Cal Raleigh (28) at the catcher position with 25 long balls and is hitting .223 with 68 RBI, 50 runs scored and four steals across 454 plate appearances.

Lowe went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Twins.

Lowe swiped a bag for the second day in a row and then came around to score in the first inning. The outfielder has now hit safely in eight of his last 10 games with five two-hit efforts, two homers and two steals. On the season, he is hitting .247 with nine home runs, 30 RBI, 31 runs scored and 19 stolen bases across 296 plate appearances.

Larnach went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run, two walks and an additional run scored in Monday's 5-4 win over the Rays.

Larnach gave the Twins a lead they wouldn't relinquish on a three-run blast in the second inning. Over his past 10 games, the 27-year-old has gone hitless six times but has also notched three multi-hit efforts with three long balls and 11 RBI. On the year, he is hitting .254 with 15 home runs, 48 RBI, 47 runs scored and four steals across 331 plate appearances.

Duran earned the save in Monday's 5-4 win over the Rays, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.

Duran was called upon for the second straight day and came through with the save on 14 pitches. It was the 26-year-old's first clean appearance since Aug. 15, but he has successfully converted five of his six save opportunities in that span. On the year, he is 21-for-23 in save chances and owns a 3.52 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 51:13 K:BB across 46 innings.

Cole exited Monday's start against the Rangers due to an apparent calf injury, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Cole completed six innings and dominated the Rangers, tallying nine strikeouts while allowing only one earned run on four hits and a walk. He came back out for the seventh inning but suffered the injury during his warmup pitches. The severity and exact nature of the issue are unclear.
