Picks up fourth win Thielbar (4-0) walked one and struck out one without allowing a hit or a run in 1.1 innings, earning the win Wednesday over the White Sox.

Impact Thielbar continued the good work of starter Bailey Ober, and the former was rewarded when Jorge Polanco hit a solo home run for the only scoring play in the contest. Since the start of July, Thielbar has allowed eight runs in 13 innings, although all of those runs have come in just three of his 13 appearances. He's logged a 3.95 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 55:15 K:BB while adding seven holds across 43.1 innings this season.

Earns win after scoreless outing Thielbar (2-0) earned the win Saturday against the Rangers after tossing a scoreless inning, striking out one.

Impact Thielbar worked the sixth inning and was flawless, tossing eight of his 12 pitches for strikes en route to a scoreless frame and his second win of the campaign. The left-hander ended a streak of two straight outings allowing runs and while he still owns a decent 4.13 ERA through 22 appearances (24 outings), it's a step in the wrong direction compared to the 2.25 ERA he posted last season.

Earns win in relief Thielbar (1-0) earned the win in relief Wednesday against the Mariners after allowing one run on two hits and four strikeouts across two innings.

Impact Thielbar allowed Seattle's first run of the game on an RBI single from Shed Long, but he was solid the rest of the way and earned the win in his return from a nearly two-week stint on the injured list. The southpaw now owns a 4.30 ERA across 23 innings in 21 appearances this season.

Reinstated from injured list Thielbar (groin) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Impact Thielbar had been on the injured list since June 3 due to a left groin strain, but he'll return after an absence of just under two weeks. The southpaw posted a 4.29 ERA and 1.48 WHIP with five holds in 21 innings across 20 relief appearances earlier in the year, and he'll likely reclaim his setup role going forward.
