Kaprielian (8-5) got the win in Saturday's 3-1 victory over the Angels, allowing two hits with five strikeouts in six scoreless innings.

EDGE Analysis

Kaprielian took the mound in the bottom of the first with a 3-0 lead and didn't look back, surrendering just two baserunners in the entire contest. The six innings were his most in a start since Aug. 8, while the 27-year-old needed only 90 pitches to navigate those frames. He's scheduled to start next against Seattle on Thursday.

Kaprielian will start Saturday's game against the Angels, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Bob Melvin announced earlier in the week that Kaprielian was shifting to a bullpen role, but his replacement in the rotation, Daulton Jefferies, landed on the injured list Saturday with an elbow injury. Kaprielian will end up making his previously scheduled turn through the rotation, though he may need a strong performance to receive additional starts given that he has an 8.10 ERA across his past four outings.

Manager Bob Melvin said Thursday that Kaprielian will transition to a bullpen role, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kaprielian didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the White Sox after allowing one run on five hits and two walks while fanning four across four innings.

EDGE Analysis

Kaprielian struggled a bit with his control and hit two batters, but this can still be considered as a positive outing for him after he had given up a combined 10 earned runs across nine frames over his previous two trips to the mound. He's made 19 starts on the season, and while he's been inconsistent at times, he still owns a decent 3.81 ERA across 101.2 innings.

Kaprielian allowed four runs on four hits and three walks over four innings Wednesday against Detroit. He struck out four and did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

The Tigers did the majority of their damage with the long ball, including a Miguel Cabrera two-run shot in the fourth inning and an Akil Baddoo solo blast in the fifth. Kaprielian has struggled in his last two outings, giving up 10 runs across nine innings in a pair of no-decisions. He's yield five home runs in that stretch. Kaprielian, whose next started is scheduled to come at home against the White Sox, is 7-4 on the year with a 3.87 ERA and 99:37 K:BB over 97.2 innings.

Kaprielian pitched five innings in Thursday's 7-6 loss to the Yankees, allowing six runs on six hits and a walk with eight strikeouts. He didn't factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Making the start against the team that drafted him, Kaprielian was done in by the long ball as three New York home runs accounted for all but one of the runs charged to the righty. While the six earned runs are Kaprielien's most surrendered in four starts, his eight strikeouts Thursday match his total from his last three turns combined. He'll take a 3.65 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 95:34 K:BB into Wednesday's scheduled start against Detroit.

Kaprielian (7-4) earned the win Friday against the Giants after tossing five innings of one-run ball, allowing three hits and four walks while fanning four.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander tossed 54 of his 92 pitches for strikes and tied his season-high mark for walks in this outing, but he still did enough to outduel Alex Wood en route to his seventh win of the campaign. The rookie has now allowed three or fewer earned runs in each of his last three appearances, going 2-0 with a 3.31 ERA in that span, and his season-long ERA stands at a decent 3.25 through 88.2 innings.

Kaprielian yielded three runs on eight hits over 5.1 innings in a no-decision Saturday against Texas. He did not record a strikeout or a walk.

EDGE Analysis

Kaprielian failed to notch a strikeout for the first time in 15 starts this season, but he did enough to leave with a 3-2 lead with one out in the sixth inning. Kaprielian lost a chance at the win when Jonah Heim immediately greeted Oakland reliever Andrew Chafin with a sacrifice fly. Kaprielian has been a model of consistency this season, holding his opponents to three runs or fewer in all but two of his starts. He's 6-4 with a 3.33 ERA and an 83:29 K:BB in 83.2 innings on the year.

Kaprielian reported no setbacks with his previously ailing shoulder following his six-inning start against the Rangers on Sunday, the Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

The young right-hander returned from the injured list after spending the minimum 10 days sidelined. Kaprielian encouragingly shouldered a normal workload during the outing, and he should therefore be prepared for the same moving forward.
