Gilbert (12-10) allowed two runs on six hits, two walks and a hit batsman while striking out seven over six innings to take the loss versus the Angels on Tuesday.

Gilbert collected a second consecutive quality start with this performance. He gave up a solo home run to Josh Lowe, which was just the fourth homer he's allowed on the road this season, compared to 24 surrendered in Seattle. Gilbert is at a 3.69 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 194:46 K:BB through 178 innings over 30 starts. The right-hander is within striking distance of the 200-strikeout mark, and he now heads into next week's start at home versus the Astros.

Sandoval (1-6) took the loss against Texas on Tuesday, allowing four runs on four hits and two walks over 2.2 innings. He struck out five.

Sandoval has continued to struggle through his brief tenure with the Red Sox. The southpaw has recorded just one quality start over his first 12 outings. The 29-year-old now owns a 4.99 ERA, 1.79 WHIP and 62:29 K:BB through 57.2 innings this season. Sandoval is slated to make his next start Sunday against Tampa Bay.

DeGrom (11-9) picked up the win over Boston on Tuesday, allowing two runs on three hits and one walk over five innings. He struck out eight.

DeGrom fanned at least seven batters for the fourth consecutive start by recording eight strikeouts Tuesday. The right-hander made just one mistake, giving up a two-run homer to Nick Sogard in the third inning. Despite the homer, the right-hander has yielded just four runs over his last four starts. This year, the 38-year-old owns a 3.79 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 194:39 K:BB over 154.1 innings. DeGrom is slated to make his next start Sunday against Toronto.

Griffin did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Guardians, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five across four innings.

Griffin kept the White Sox off the board until a Sam Antonacci RBI single in the fourth inning. The former was brought back out for the fifth but was quickly pulled after letting the first two batters he faced on base, one of which came home to score. Griffin ran up his pitch count to 83 (47 strikes), and it's his second consecutive outing in which he failed to complete at least five innings. In eight games since being acquired by the Guardians from the Nationals in August, Griffin has a 3-2 record with a 5.79 ERA and 1.61 WHIP across 37.1 innings. He's lined up to take on the Red Sox on the road next week in what currently projects to be his penultimate start of the regular season.

Wacha (9-9) took the loss after allowing four runs on four hits and one walk over six innings against the Astros on Tuesday. He struck out two.

Despite the loss, Wacha recorded his fifth straight start of at least six innings pitched. Wacha was a victim of the long ball, allowing two blasts to Jeremy Pena and one to Yordan Alvarez. The right-hander owns a 3.34 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 149:49 K:BB through 188.2 innings this season. Wacha is slated to make his next start Sunday against Pittsburgh.

Brown (6-3) earned the win after allowing one run on two hits and three walks over five innings against the Royals on Tuesday. He struck out 10.

Brown bounced back from his rocky start against Philadelphia on Wednesday by allowing just one run against Kansas City. The right-hander struck out 10 batters, tying a season high that he set Aug. 28 against the Mets. The 28-year-old owns a 3.43 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 110:49 K:BB over 97 innings this season. Brown is scheduled to make his next start Sunday against Atlanta.

Baz was removed from Tuesday's game against the Mets after getting hit on the elbow by a comebacker, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports. He did not factor into the decision and allowed three earned runs on seven hits and two walks while recording two strikeouts over four-plus innings.

Baz took a 105-mph line drive off his right elbow from the bat of Bo Bichette to start the fifth inning, and after his subsequent warm-up pitch sailed over the head of the catcher, the Orioles made the call to take him out of the game. X-rays on his elbow came back negative following his removal, per Andy Kostka of TheBanner.com, but the team will likely monitor how Baz feels over the next couple of days before clearing him for his next start -- tentatively scheduled for Monday against Toronto.

Yesavage (knee) thew 34 pitches and failed to get out of the first inning of a rehab outing at Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Yesavage sat at 93.3 mph on his fastball, which topped out at 94.4 mph Tuesday. The right-hander allowed two runs, one of which was earned, on two hits and a walk. Toronto's goal is for the 23-year-old to start Sept. 21 in Baltimore. The Blue Jays would like their young arm back, as they are fighting for the third wild-card spot in the American League with the Guardians.

Taillon (elbow) revealed his "season is over" Tuesday and confirmed he'll be evaluated by Dr. Keith Meister in Texas on Sept. 22, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Taillon is hopeful that an injection or two along with an offseason to rest and rehab will get his right elbow back to health. It was thought at one point the right-hander could return before the regular season concluded as the Blue Jays make a push for the final wild-card spot in the American League, but that possibility has now been officially ruled out.

The Athletics placed Jump on the 15-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to Sept. 13, due to a left shoulder impingement.

The A's have already been eliminated from playoff contention, so the move to the IL will officially bring an end to Jump's 2026 campaign. The left-hander finishes his rookie year having gone 6-11 in 20 starts with a 5.47 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 108:46 K:BB across 98.2 innings. He should compete for a rotation spot during spring training but likely won't enter camp with a guaranteed role.
