Woo did not factor into the decision in Friday's 6-5 loss to the Angels, allowing four runs on nine hits and two walks over 3.1 innings. He struck out just one.

Despite his fastball clocking in at 94.9 mph, up 0.2 mph from his season average, Woo looked rusty in his return from a hamstring injury against an unspectacular Angels lineup. The Seattle right-hander generated only six whiffs on 66 pitches and allowed a career-high nine hits. Even with this poor performance, Woo closes out the first half with a 2.45 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 29:5 K:BB across 44 innings.

Holmes earned the save in Friday's 4-1 win over the Orioles, striking out one in a scoreless ninth inning.

After striking out Jordan Westburg to open the ninth, Holmes would then hit Heston Kjerstad in the helmet with one out, causing the benches to clear. However, Holmes would settle back in and record the final two outs, preserving the 4-1 victory to earn his 21st save. The 31-year-old closer has delivered back-to-back scoreless outings after surrendering eight earned runs in his previous 6.2 innings. He lowered his ERA to 2.82 on the year with a 1.23 WHIP and 40:8 K:BB across 38.1 innings.

Cole (2-1) earned the win Friday over the Orioles, allowing one run on five hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out seven.

Cole allowed a lone run on Ramon Urias' two-out triple in the second inning before blanking the Orioles over his final four frames as he completed six innings for the first time this season. After allowing eight runs over his first two outings, Cole's allowed just six runs over his subsequent three starts (15.1 innings) while striking out 21 in that span.

Foley (2-3) blew a save and took the loss against the Dodgers on Friday, allowing one run on two hits with no walks and no strikeouts over 0.2 innings.

Foley was called upon for a possible multi-inning save with a 3-2 lead in the eighth but was instead charged with a blown save and the loss while recording just two outs. The closer has been shaky in July despite securing two saves, yielding four earned runs in 2.1 innings with just one strikeout. On the year, he is 15-for-18 in save chances with a 3.62 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 24:10 K:BB over 32.1 innings.

Trevino suffered a quadriceps injury during Friday's win over the Orioles, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Trevino was replaced behind the dish in the ninth inning after scoring a run in the top of the frame, and he was later seen limping out of the dugout during a bench-clearing scrum between the two teams. He's slated to undergo an evaluation Saturday, at which point the Yankees will have a better idea of how much time -- if any -- the 31-year-old backstop will miss.

Skubal did not factor into the decision in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Dodgers, allowing two runs on two hits and one walk with eight strikeouts over six innings.

Skubal surrendered two runs in the fourth inning but was otherwise dominant, tossing four perfect frames and departing with a 3-2 lead. He generated 14 swinging strikes, including seven on his signature changeup, and has now logged four consecutive quality starts. The first-time All-Star leads all starting pitchers with a 0.88 WHIP while also owning a 2.41 ERA and 140:21 K:BB through 116 innings this season.

Diaz went 3-for-5 with an RBI in Friday's 2-0 win over the Guardians.

Diaz singled in the third inning and drove in a run on his 20th double of the year in the fifth. He later added a single in the seventh and has logged multiple hits in three of his past six games. On the year, the 32-year-old is hitting .276 with eight home runs, 45 RBI and 35 runs scored over 408 plate appearances.

Arozarena went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's 2-0 win over the Guardians.

Arozarena has been solid in July, logging hits in nine of 10 games with a homer and three steals. On the season, the outfielder is hitting a disappointing .204 but has contributed 12 home runs and 13 stolen bases over 371 plate appearances.

Adam earned a save against the Guardians on Friday, striking out the side in a perfect ninth inning.

With Rays closer Pete Fairbanks having thrown 28 pitches Thursday, Adam was summoned to protect a 2-0 lead in the ninth inning. He struck out the side on 14 pitches and earned his fourth save of the year to along with 17 holds. On the season, the righty owns a 1.71 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 42:14 K:BB over 42 innings.

Kjerstad was removed from Friday's game against the Yankees after getting hit in the head by a pitch, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Kjerstad managed to turn away from the pitch, so the 96.8 mph two-seamer from Clay Holmes hit off the back of his helmet, but he was still shaken up enough to call for his removal in the ninth inning. The Orioles' training staff will examine Hjerstad in the clubhouse and put him through the concussion protocol.
