Arrighetti (7-7) took the loss against the Royals on Thursday, allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits and two walks in four innings. He struck out four.

Kansas City pounced on Arrighetti right away Thursday, plating four runs in the first two innings. The right-hander produced a 1.34 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in his first eight starts of the year but has seen his effectiveness fall off a cliff since the beginning of June, posting an 8.19 ERA and 1.59 WHIP in his last 48.1 innings (11 outings). He'll try to right the ship his next time out in Cleveland, where he'll take a season 4.81 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 95:54 K:BB over 95.1 innings.

Manaea (4-6) took the loss against the Brewers on Thursday, allowing six runs on eight hits and one walk in 5.2 innings. He struck out three.

Manaea was working with a slippery mound at rainy Citi Field on Thursday, failing to work at least six innings for the first time in his last seven starts. The left-hander coughed up six runs -- tying a season high -- and even gave up a season-worst eight knocks, including three extra-base hits. He'll look to bounce back in his next scheduled appearance against the Rays in pitcher-friendly Tampa Bay, where Manaea will carry a 4.55 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 120:40 K:BB over 122.2 innings.

Misiorowski (14-5) notched the win against the Mets on Thursday, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out six.

Misiorowski battled a slick mound at times at wet Citi Field on Thursday, but the rainy conditions didn't stop him from firing six strong innings. The All-Star right-hander extended his streak of quality starts to five, and he's now fanned at least six in all but one of his 25 outings on the year. He's set to take an outstanding 1.73 ERA, 0.75 WHIP and 222:35 K:BB over 151 innings into a tough road assignment against the division-rival Cubs.

Wesneski (4-1) notched the win against the Yankees on Thursday, allowing one run on three hits and two walks in five-plus innings. He struck out six.

Wesneski worked into the sixth inning Thursday, keeping the Yankees quiet until Ben Rice came across for New York's first run in the sixth. The right-hander appears to be just about ready to handle a full starter's workload following his 2025 Tommy John surgery, reaching the 90-pitch marker in back-to-back starts now. Wesneski has yielded a lone run during that stretch, and he's set to bring a quality 3.86 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 28:12 K:BB over 32.2 innings into a home assignment against the White Sox.

Cole (7-7) took the loss against the Astros on Thursday, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out five.

It was a tough-luck loss for Cole, who logged his 11th quality start of the season Thursday. The veteran right-hander has been dealing on the mound of late, either posting a quality start or pitching at least five innings while yielding three runs or fewer in 10 consecutive outings. Cole will take a strong 3.19 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 105:21 K:BB over 98.2 innings into his next scheduled appearance in Anaheim against the Angels.

Arenado is dealing with right thumb inflammation, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

Arenado was a late scratch from Thursday's lineup versus San Francisco, and there was some speculation that it was due to his previous left side injury. The third baseman instead has a new injury altogether, and he can be considered day-to-day for the time being.

Arenado (undisclosed) was scratched from Thursday's lineup against the Giants, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

Arenado was set to start at third base and bat sixth in the series opener, but he will now be forced to sit. The 35-year-old was dealing with a left side/intercostal injury last week, and it is unclear if Thursday's absence is related to that injury or potentially something new. More information on Arenado's status will likely be provided in the near future, but in the meantime, Jose Fernandez will draw the start at the hot corner versus San Francisco.

Wrobleski (forearm) is expected to join Triple-A Oklahoma City to begin a minor-league rehab assignment this weekend, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Wrobleski had a throwing session Wednesday, and he appears to have avoided any setbacks in his recovery from left forearm inflammation. The southpaw was placed on the 15-day injured list Aug. 16, and it's possible that he will require only one outing with Oklahoma City before returning to the major-league roster. Wrobleski is eligible to be activated from the IL on Tuesday, and upon his activation, he's expected to operate out of the bullpen moving forward this season for Los Angeles.

Adames got a second opinion on his elbow Thursday and is expected to miss three to four weeks, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

The plan for Adames is to rest, rehab and get a PRP injection. The shortstop landed on the 10-day injured list Aug. 24 due to a sprain in his left elbow. He faces the possibility of being shut down for the rest of the season, as the Giants are not in the playoff picture. If he returns, it wouldn't be until the final weeks of the regular season.

Rodriguez said Thursday that he's suffered a setback with his elbow neuritis, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Rodriguez began a rehab assignment at Triple-A on Sunday, but the Giants paused his assignment after one game due to the setback. He's scheduled to see a specialist within the next few days, and a clearer picture of his return timeline should emerge following his doctor's visit. In the meantime, Drew Cavanaugh and Andrew Knizner will continue to split reps behind the plate for the Giants.
