Lyles (11-11) earned the win Wednesday, allowing one run on three hits and no walks with six strikeouts over nine innings against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Lyles needed just 94 pitches to throw a complete game and earn his 11th win of the season with the only damage on the night coming from a solo home run off the bat of Kerry Carpenter in the seventh inning. The complete game is Lyles' first of the season and comes as he had surrendered 21 earned runs through 30.2 innings in his previous six starts. He likely next lines up to face Boston next week.

Lyles (10-11) took the loss Friday, giving up four runs on five hits and a walk over five innings as the Orioles fell 6-3 to the Blue Jays. He struck out five.

EDGE Analysis

Two of the hits off the veteran righty left the yard, including a three-run blast by George Springer in the fifth inning that sealed Baltimore's fate. Lyles has been tagged for at least four runs in four of his last six starts, posting a 6.16 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 24:7 K:BB through 30.2 innings over that stretch, and his late-season fade could end up helping to cost the O's a playoff spot.

Lyles (10-10) took the loss against Boston on Saturday, allowing eight runs on seven hits while striking out one and walking one over 3.2 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Lyles failed to make it out of the fourth inning Saturday, giving up eight earned runs across 3.2 frames. He tossed 47 of 77 pitches for strikes in the outing, tallying just one strikeout. This poor outing comes on the heels of back-to-back quality starts for the veteran righty. Eight runs allowed marks a high for Lyles this season, his previous high being six runs allowed (which he has done three times this season). Lyles will take a 4.62 ERA into his next appearance.

Orioles Manager Brandon Hyde said he expects Lyles (illness) to start Saturday against the Red Sox, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 31-year-old's return timeline was murky earlier this week, but he threw a bullpen session Thursday and is now expected to take the mound for Saturday's contest, barring a setback. Lyles was scratched from his previously scheduled start in Monday's doubleheader versus Toronto due to an illness, but it appears his absence will be limited to one turn through the rotation.

Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Wednesday that Lyles (illness) could be ready to rejoin the rotation for this weekend's series with Boston, Dan Connolly of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Just one day earlier, Hyde said that Lyles, who was scratched ahead of his start during Monday's doubleheader with the Blue Jays, was without a clear timeline to return. That notion was seemingly supported by the Orioles announcing three other pitchers as their probable starters this weekend, but Baltimore changed those plans Wednesday, when Spenser Watkins was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk. Watkins' demotion seemingly signals more confidence in the health of Lyles, who is still working through a stomach virus but felt well enough to rejoin the Orioles on Wednesday. Lyles could try to throw again Thursday, and if all goes well, he could be cleared to start Saturday, which had been Watkins' day to pitch.

Lyles (illness) is beginning to feel better, though there is no plan in place for when he will return, Dan Connolly of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lyles was a late scratch from the second game of Monday's doubleheader against Toronto after he woke up not feeling 100 percent. Once Lyles gets closer to fully recovering from his illness, the Orioles will determine when he can make his next start. According to Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun, the veteran right-hander isn't listed among the probable starters for this weekend, so his next chance to pitch could come next Tuesday in Washington.

Lyles (illness) isn't starting the second game of Monday's doubleheader against the Blue Jays, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Brandon Hyde said after Monday's matinee that Lyles would start the second game of the twin bill. However, Keegan Akin is warming up with starting catcher Robinson Chirinos ahead of the nightcap, and Akin has ultimately been confirmed as the starting pitcher. Lyles was feeling sick earlier in the day, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be available out of the bullpen for Monday's nightcap or when he'll be able to make his next start.

Lyles (illness) will start the second game of Monday's doubleheader with the Blue Jays at Camden Yards, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Heading into the day, Lyles had been expected to take the hill for the early game, but the Orioles opted to push him back to the second contest of the day after he felt under the weather upon reporting to the ballpark. Lyles evidently showed enough improvement as the afternoon progressed to start the second game, though he could face a quick hook if he shows any signs of fatigue while he's out on the mound.

Lyles (illness) is expected to start Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader with the Blue Jays, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lyles woke up under the weather Monday, forcing the team to push him from starting Game 1 to starting Game 2 of the team's doubleheader with Toronto. Manger Brandon Hyde said he's "fairly confident" that the left-hander will be able to make the start, but his progress before the contest will ultimately decide if he can give it a go.

Lyles (10-9) earned the win after he pitched 6.2 innings, giving up four hits and three walks while striking out two versus the Guardians on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Lyles was electric Wednesday, blanking the Guardians for 6.2 frames while allowing his lowest hit total since July 28. The right-hander has now produced back-to-back quality starts after a rough stretch in the middle of August, allowing one run over 13.2 frames in his last two outings. Lyles now owns a 4.25 ERA and 1.44 WHIP with 123 punchouts over 152.1 innings in 27 starts this year.
