Garcia recorded his 13th hold of the season in a loss to the Tigers on Thursday, allowing an earned run on a walk over two-thirds of an inning.

Garcia issued an inning-opening walk to Austin Meadows in the eighth inning before retiring the next two batters, but Andres Munoz then surrendered a two-run home run to Javier Baez that allowed Meadows to cross the plate. Garcia has been charged with a combined three earned runs over the last two days and five overall in his last five appearances, a stark contrast to the four straight scoreless one-inning outings with which he opened his Mariners tenure.

Moore went 0-for-3 with a hit-by-pitch and a stolen base in a loss to the Tigers on Thursday.

Moore took advantage of his lone time on the basepaths to record his 22nd steal of the campaign, a new career high. The versatile veteran finished July on a six-game hitting streak, but his bat has gone cold in August to the tune of a .118/.268/.147 slash line and 34.1 percent strikeout rate across 41 plate appearances (11 games).

Robles went 1-for-4 with a double and a stolen base in a loss to the Tigers on Thursday.

Robles provided the Mariners' only extra-base hit of the day out of the leadoff spot and added his 17th stolen base of the campaign when he swiped third following the fifth-inning two-bagger. Despite Thursday's production, it's been a quiet month for Robles' once-hot bat, as he's carrying a .116 batting average and .354 OPS across his last 11 games.

Suarez is no longer scheduled to start Saturday's game against the Red Sox, Matt Weyrich of the Baltimore Sun reports.

The responsibility will instead fall to Cade Povich, who will be recalled from Triple-A Norfolk. Suarez has been terrific since re-entering the rotation in place of the injured Grayson Rodriguez (lat), tossing 11.2 scoreless innings with an 11:3 K:BB. It's not clear whether Suarez will simply be pushed back or is being moved to long relief, which is his likely role in the postseason for the Orioles.

The Orioles will recall Povich from Triple-A Norfolk to start Saturday's game against the Red Sox, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Povich will be added to the taxi squad Friday before officially joining the active roster Saturday. Albert Suarez had been in line to start Saturday, but the club could be moving him back to the bullpen. Povich has mostly struggled in his eight starts with Baltimore, posting a 6.27 ERA and 25:23 K:BB over 37.1 innings. However, the lefty has gone seven innings in both of his last two starts for Norfolk.

Ferguson (1-1) got the win over the Mets on Thursday, allowing a hit and a walk over two scoreless innings. He struck out two.

Ferguson needed 44 pitches to get through his two frames after taking the mound to begin the fifth inning. The right-hander became the pitcher of record after the Athletics were able to take a one-run lead in the home half of the sixth, leading to Ferguson recording his first career win. He has put together six consecutive scoreless appearances after allowing a combined four runs over two innings in back-to-back outings July 30 and Aug. 2.

Nevin went 2-for-4 with an RBI groundout, a double and two walks in a win over the Mets on Thursday.

Nevin started on consecutive days for the first time since July 27-28 and made good use of the opportunity. The veteran's sixth-inning groundout scored JJ Bleday to knot the score at 6-6, while the double was his first extra-base hit since July 28. Nevin has seen time at corner infield and corner outfield in addition to designated hitter this season, and his versatility should continue affording him occasional playing time despite his .210 batting average and .658 OPS across 217 plate appearances.

Chisholm will rest and rehab his left elbow UCL injury following consultations with multiple doctors, Jon Heyman and Greg Joyce of the New York Post report.

Chisholm was diagnosed with UCL damage in his elbow as a result of a slide into home plate earlier this week and was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday. However, surgery has been deemed unnecessary for now, and the hope is Chisholm can return some time in September. It's uncertain when he will be ready to resume baseball activities, so he lacks a clearer timeline, but he has avoided the worst-case scenario. Oswaldo Cabrera will continue to fill in at third base for the Yankees while Chisholm is out.

Langeliers went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk and a run scored in Thursday's 7-6 win over the Mets.

Langeliers has been on a tear recently, picking up three or more hits in three of his last four contests. He's gone 11-for-15 with three doubles and a home run in that span after going just 2-for-24 in his previous seven games. Langeliers has boosted his slash line to .230/.295/.468 through 396 plate appearances this year with 22 homers, 61 RBI, 43 runs scored and four stolen bases.

The Twins outrighted Blewett to Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday.

Blewett was removed from the 40-man roster after making just one appearance for the Twins, but he's cleared waivers and will stick around in the organization. The 28-year-old has put up a 3.66 ERA and 52:17 K:BB over 51.2 frames at St. Paul in 2024.
