Hernandez makes his second-to-last start of the season -- and likely his 15-year run in Seattle -- and is coming off his best outing of the season when he allowed just one run in seven innings against the White Sox.
LHP
3-0, 5.76 ERA, 25 SO
To this point, all of Bleier's 159 career appearances have come in relief. That changes Friday, when the lefty gets his first start in an opener role. Right-hander Aaron Brooks will probably follow Bleier, who owns a 5.63 ERA in 48 games this season.

Waguespack will make his third appearance against the Yankees after allowing three runs in 3 2/3 innings in each of his past two. It has been a rough stretch for the righty, who owns a 8.70 ERA over his past four starts and seen his season ERA balloon from 3.63 to 4.70.
LHP

The National League Cy Young Award race is growing interesting, due in large part to what deGrom has done in the second half. After his last start, he ranked third in the NL in ERA since the All-Star break, third in innings and first in strikeouts.
RHP
15-7, 3.25 ERA, 218 SO

Bieber experienced a rare rocky outing against the Twins in his last start, but he was able to grind through 5 2/3 innings. The 24-year-old allowed four runs on a season-high 11 hits, including three homers, and struck out four in the Tribe's win.

RHP
1-12, 6.85 ERA, 80 SO
No Tigers pitcher since at least 1908 has ever won fewer than two games in a season with 20 or more starts, according to Baseball Reference. But Zimmermann still needs one more win to avoid the distinction.

Skoglund gets this start because Royals manager Ned Yost dropped Jakob Junis from the rotation. Skoglund has pitched only 14 Major League innings, due mostly to an 80-game suspension for testing positive for two performance-enhancing substances.
RHP
1-1, 2.01 ERA, 17 SO
Dobnak has been used as both an opener and as a more traditional starter this month, but it remains unclear how the rookie will be used against the Royals. It's possible the Twins could ask him for length after the bullpen pitched 7 1/3 frames on Thursday.

Kelly has been one of the better starters for the D-backs of late. Over his last three starts he is 2-1 with a 1.35 ERA, and last time out, against the Reds, he allowed just three hits over seven shutout innings. This will be his fifth start against the Padres.

In no uncertain terms, Lauer is on the Padres' rotation bubble entering the 2020 season. He will have two more starts to make his case this year, both coming at home. Lauer has a 3.08 ERA at Petco Park this season, but a 6.27 mark on the road.
