Baz (10-12) earned the win Thursday over the Blue Jays, allowing two hits and a walk over five scoreless innings. He struck out four.

After giving up five runs in just 2.1 innings against the Cubs his last time out, Baz bounced back with an impressive showing against the Blue Jays with his second scoreless outing in his last four starts. It's been an up-and-down year overall for the 26-year-old Baz, who sports a 4.99 ERA with a 1.35 WHIP and 173:61 K:BB through 30 starts (162.1 innings). He's currently lined up to face the Orioles on the road his next time out.

Gaddis earned the save in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Tigers, allowing one hit with no strikeouts or walks in a scoreless ninth inning.

After closer Cade Smith had pitched back-to-back days, Gaddis got the call in the ninth inning Thursday. The right-hander worked around a leadoff single to close out a two-run victory, picking up his third save this season. Gaddis has turned in seven straight scoreless innings, allowing just four hits in that span. His ERA sits at 3.11 through 63.2 innings this season with a 1.18 WHIP and 65:21 K:BB.

Teodosio isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against Milwaukee, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Teodosio will get a chance to regroup Thursday after going 0-for-8 with four strikeouts over his last three games. While he sits, Chris Taylor will start in center field and bat leadoff.

Moncada (ankle) isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Brewers, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Thursday will mark the third consecutive start Moncada has missed since tweaking his ankle during Sunday's contest. His absence will allow Luis Rengifo to make another start at third base and bat fifth.

Skubal did not factor into the decision Thursday against the Guardians, allowing one run on seven hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out nine.

Skubal certainly appeared to be healthy Thursday after leaving his last start in the fourth inning with side tightness. The lone run against the left-hander came on a Jhonkensy Noel solo homer in the fourth inning. Skubal's now logged eight or more strikeouts in 16 starts this season. His ERA sits at an AL-leading 2.23 with a 0.88 WHIP and 233:30 K:BB through 30 starts (189.1 innings). Skubal's tentatively scheduled for a rematch with Cleveland on the road his next time out.

O'Hoppe isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Brewers, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

O'Hoppe started Tuesday after returning from the 7-day injured list but will now take a seat for a second consecutive game Thursday while Sebastian Rivero gets the nod at catcher.

Bibee (11-11) earned the win Thursday over the Tigers, allowing a run on four hits and two walks across six innings. He struck out eight.

Bibee's turned in three straight quality starts, giving up just four runs over 21.2 innings while striking out 21 in that span. The 26-year-old right-hander's lowered his ERA to 4.34 on the season with a 1.23 WHIP and 157:52 K:BB through 30 starts (176.1 innings). Bibee will look to keep rolling in his next outing, tentatively scheduled as a home rematch with the Tigers next week.

The Angels recalled Aldegheri from Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday.

Aldegheri will come up from the minors to presumably fill the absence in Los Angeles' rotation left by Jose Soriano (forearm), who was placed on the injured list Thursday. Aldegheri has given up five earned runs in just 4.1 innings in the big leagues this year, though he owns a 3.82 ERA and 1.35 WHIP through 127.1 minor-league frames.

The Angels placed Soriano on the 15-day injured list Thursday with a right forearm contusion.

Soriano was taken out of his most recent start Wednesday after getting hit on the forearm by a comebacker. X-rays on his forearm came back negative, but the Angels will place him on the injured list anyway, putting an early end to his season. The 26-year-old will finish 2025 with a 4.26 ERA and 1.40 WHIP alongside a 152:78 K:BB across 169 innings. Sam Aldegheri was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move.

Borucki cleared waivers Thursday and was sent outright to Triple-A Buffalo.

Borucki was DFA'd after pitching 4.1 shutout innings for the Jays in September, but he'll officially stick with the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. Assuming he remains in the minors for the rest of the season, the 31-year-old southpaw will finish 2025 with a 4.63 ERA and 1.29 WHIP through 35 innings in the big leagues.
