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.

Frelick isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Angels.

Although Frelick is in the middle of a six-game hitting streak, the Brewers will give him a day off Thursday for a matchup against left-handed starter Yusei Kikuchi. Isaac Collins, Blake Perkins and Jackson Chourio will start across the outfield while Frelick rests.

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.

Vasquez (5-7) took the loss Thursday against the Mets, allowing four runs on four hits and a walk across 2.1 innings. He struck out three.

After turning in back-to-back quality starts in his previous two outings, Vasquez struggled Thursday, giving up a solo homer to Pete Alonso in the first inning before allowing another three runs before departing in the third. Through 125.2 innings this year, Vasquez sports a 3.94 ERA with a 1.36 WHIP and 74:50 K:BB. He'll look to get back on track in his next start, tentatively scheduled for next week at home against the Brewers.

Tong (2-2) earned the win Thursday over San Diego, allowing one unearned run on four hits over five innings. He struck out eight.

After allowing six runs in just two-thirds of an inning during his previous start, Tong rebounded with an excellent effort against the Padres, logging a season high in strikeouts without issuing a walk. Through his first four MLB starts (16.2 innings), Tong has posted a 5.94 ERA with a 1.44 WHIP and 21:7 K:BB. He'll look to build on Thursday's performance his next time out, tentatively slated for next week on the road against the Cubs in what should be his final start of the regular season.

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.

Keith will undergo medical imaging after exiting Thursday's game against the Guardians with a back injury, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Keith was lifted after grabbing at the side of his back at the end of the second inning. Tigers manager A.J. Hinch described the injury as "very concerning," suggesting it's possible Keith strained something and could miss an extended amount of time. More will be known about Keith's status after the MRI results are in, which should be Friday.

Atlanta transferred Bummer (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Thursday.

Left shoulder inflammation sent Bummer to the injured list in late August, and although he began a throwing program Saturday, his move to the 60-day IL will officially rule him out for the rest of the season. He'll give up his place on the 40-man roster to Brett Wisely, who was claimed off waivers from San Francisco in a corresponding move.
