Winder (4-5) allowed three earned runs on six hits and a walk while striking out four across six innings to take the loss Thursday against the Royals.

Winder served up a pair of solo home runs but still managed to turn in a quality start. In three starts since being recalled by the Twins, Winder has maintained a 5.53 ERA with a 10:3 K:BB across 14.2 innings. Overall, he has a 4.20 ERA in 50 frames on the campaign while serving as a swingman with the Twins.

Yarbrough was diagnosed with right side discomfort after he left Thursday's game against the Blue Jays, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

Yarbrough pitched behind an opener and gave up two runs over one inning before he exited the contest. The severity of the injury remains unclear, but the possibility of an oblique injury looms large on the left-hander's availability for Tampa Bay's playoff push.

Yarbrough was removed from Thursday's game against the Blue Jays with an apparent injury, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The left-hander followed opener JT Chargois and allowed a pair of solo homers during the second inning, and he was lifted after initially taking the mound for the third frame. The 30-year-old should be considered day-to-day until more information is available on the injury.

Martinez allowed five runs on six hits and two walks while striking out seven across five innings during a 9-5 loss Thursday against Seattle. He did not factor into the decision.

Six of the first seven batters Martinez faced Thursday reached safely, leading to three runs. He then retired 13 of the next 14 batters with the lone hit being a solo homer by Jarred Kelenic in the fourth. The 25-year-old righty has been shelled in each of his last three starts, allowing 16 runs and six homers over 13.2 innings and watching his season ERA rise from 4.37 to 6.10.

Interim manager John Schneider said Thursday that Pearson (lat) is building up to cover multiple innings before being activated from the injured list, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Pearson has been on the injured list for the entire 2022 campaign, initially due to a bout with mononucleosis and currently due to a lat strain. He started a rehab assignment in early September and pitched 1.1 frames in his last outing Wednesday with Triple-A Buffalo, and he'll continue building up his workload. It's unclear if Pearson will be ready to join the active roster before the end of the regular season.

Peralta (back) will be placed on the injured list with thoracic spine tightness Thursday, retroactive to Sept. 19, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Peralta struggled Sunday against the Brewers, giving up two runs on three hits while failing to record an out. The move is backdated to Monday, and the Yankees hope that the left-hander will be available for the team's final series of the regular season since his injury isn't considered particularly serious, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

White (forearm) was reinstated from the 7-day injured list at Double-A Frisco on Thursday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

White landed on the injured list with forearm fatigue in late July, and he'll be eligible to pitch in Thursday's playoff game at Frisco. Although the right-hander was unavailable for the final few months of the minor-league regular season, he should be able to have a normal offseason program once the playoffs wrap up.

Herget was designated for assignment Thursday.

The move allows the Rays to add utilityman Miles Mastrobuoni to the 40-man roster. Herget gave up two earned runs with one strikeout in 2.2 innings over two appearances in September.

Effross (shoulder) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list prior to Thursday's game against the Red Sox.

The Yankees targeted Effross in a deadline deal with the Cubs, in which they sent out quality starting pitching prospect Hayden Wesneski, so he is a clear part of their high-leverage plans. Clay Holmes is currently heading a ninth-inning committee, and Effross could get a save or two over the final two weeks of the season.

Misiewicz (1-1) picked up the win Wednesday over the Twins. He struck out three and allowed a hit in 1.1 scoreless innings.

Starter Daniel Lynch lasted four innings, and Collin Snider worked the fifth, but it was Misiewicz who was awarded the win in a game the Royals led from the first inning on. Since his promotion from Triple-A Omaha on Aug. 24, he's posted a 5.79 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 15:2 K:BB across 9.1 innings. Misiewicz has been slightly better overall this season with a 5.09 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 23:8 K:BB through 23 innings between the Royals and the Mariners, but those ratios are unlikely to earn him anything more than low-leverage assignments.
