Ober (7-4) took the loss against the Orioles on Tuesday, allowing five runs on eight hits and one walk with four strikeouts over six innings.

Ober allowed five runs over the game's first three innings, all of which came via three Orioles home runs. It comes on the heels of back-to-back quality starts by the 27-year-old, who suffered his first loss in six outings since returning from the injured list July 9. He owns a 4.64 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 67:25 K across 99 innings this season and lines up for a difficult home matchup with Atlanta next week.

Weathers did not factor into Tuesday's decision against the Mariners, allowing one run on two hits and three walks while striking out four across 5.2 innings.

Weathers kept the Mariners off the board through the first five frames of Tuesday's loss before yielding a solo homer to Randy Arozarena in the sixth. It was the fourth consecutive start in which Weathers gave up one earned run or less and the fifth time over his last six outings. He now sits at a 3.69 ERA and 1.21 WHIP over 126.2 innings this season, and his next start is lined up for this weekend against the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre.

Woo did not factor into Tuesday's decision against the Yankees, allowing three hits and one walk while striking out five across five scoreless innings.

Woo worked around two baserunners in the first inning before allowing just two more Yankees batters on base over the next four frames. He sported a 6.32 ERA and 1.56 WHIP over 31.1 innings spanning six starts from June 24 to July 30, but he's kept his opponents scoreless in back-to-back starts and is up to seven consecutive outings in which he's struck out at least five batters. Woo will take a 4.15 ERA and 1.10 WHIP over 132.1 innings into his next start, which is lined up for this weekend on the road against the Astros.

Sandoval (1-1) was tagged with the loss against the Blue Jays on Tuesday, allowing four runs (two earned) on eight hits and three walks while striking out four across six innings.

Sandoval limited the Blue Jays to one run through four frames, and both of the runs he gave up in the fifth were unearned due to a throwing error by Caleb Durbin. It still wasn't Sandoval's best outing, as the 11 baserunners he allowed were his most of the season, and the eight hits he gave up were second-most. The positive news for the 29-year-old southpaw is that he's tossed at least 84 pitches in each of his last four outings, a sign that he's operating under a full workload after a lengthy recovery from an internal brace surgery on his throwing elbow that he underwent in June of 2024. Sandoval will take a 3.30 ERA and 1.70 WHIP over 30 innings into his next start, which is lined up for this weekend on the road against the Pirates.

Cease did not factor into the decision Tuesday against Boston, allowing three runs on five hits and four walks while striking out seven across five innings.

It was the first time since June 27 that Cease yielded at least four walks, and the two home runs he gave up tied a season high he set three times prior to Tuesday's start. Still, the right-hander extended his streak of seven-plus strikeouts to 16 starts and came away with his third consecutive no-decision. It was far from his best outing on the season, but Cease is still firmly in the mix for the AL Cy Young award, as he ranks second in the majors in strikeouts (191), fourth in ERA (2.40) and 10th in WHIP (1.07) across 131.1 innings. He's lined up to take on the Yankees this weekend at Rogers Centre.

Jax (elbow) received an injection in right elbow after visiting with Dr. Keith Meister in Dallas, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.

Jax was placed on the 15-day injured list with right elbow discomfort Sunday, and manager Kevin Cash outlined that the injection was to "calm the back of the elbow down." Cash also explained that Jax is "in a really good spot" and that the team will "take the ball out of his hand for two more days and then get him back throwing." Jax appears to have avoided a worst-case scenario, and he could be on track for a return to action relatively close to when he's first eligible Aug. 21.

The Tigers placed Mayfield (undisclosed) on the minor-league 7-day injured list Tuesday, Emily Waldon of Baseball America reports.

Mayfield, who was acquired by the Tigers at the trade deadline, will have to wait a bit before he makes his organizational debut. The details of why he was placed on the injured list Tuesday have not been revealed.

Yesavage (knee) underwent surgery to repair his torn meniscus Tuesday and is considered week-to-week, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

Manager John Schneider said the Blue Jays haven't ruled out Yesavage for the remainder of the 2026 season. The 23-year-old has been limited to 18 big-league starts this season due to shoulder and knee injuries. He's posted a 3.65 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 91:46 K:BB across 93.2 innings and is in the 91st percentile in expected opponent batting average (.200).

Toronto placed Taillon on the 15-day injured list with right forearm tendinitis on Tuesday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Taillon completed just four innings Monday against Boston before being removed with discomfort in his right forearm. The 34-year-old will head to the IL for the second time this season and first time as a member of the Blue Jays. The right-hander made just two starts for Toronto since being dealt to the club on Aug. 2 from the Cubs. The Blue Jays recalled Chase Lee from Triple-A Buffalo to take Taillon's spot on the active roster.

Bassitt (back) struck out five and allowed three hits and two walks across six scoreless innings Friday in a rehab start with Triple-A Norfolk.

Bassitt built up to 83 pitches (51 strikes) in the third and most likely final start of his minor-league rehab assignment. Over his three outings with Norfolk, Bassitt submitted a 1.98 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 12:4 K:BB In 13.2 innings. He's expected to return from the 60-day injured list to slot into the rotation this weekend during the Orioles' series at Tampa Bay. The Orioles already cleared a spot in the rotation for Bassitt by optioning lefty Cade Povich to Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.
