Burke (8-7) took the loss Tuesday against the Pirates after allowing seven runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out two over 1.1 innings.

Burke endured the shortest start of his career as Pittsburgh overwhelmed him immediately. The first seven Pirates reached safely, with six hits and a walk producing five runs before Burke recorded an out. He returned for the second but exited after loading the bases with one out. The seven runs and eight hits allowed were both career highs, raising his ERA to 3.58. His next start lines up for this weekend against the Cardinals.

Wesneski (5-1) picked up the win Tuesday, giving up three runs on five hits over six innings in a 6-5 victory over the Phillies. He struck out three.

The right-hander carried a shutout into the sixth inning before fading, with a two-run homer by Trea Turner accounting for most of the damage off him, but Wesneski still held on for his fourth quality start of the year in his eighth trip to the mound. Since completing his recovery from Tommy John surgery and making his season debut in late July, Wesneski has produced a 3.35 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 36:14 K:BB over 45.2 innings. He'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, which is set to come on the road this weekend in Tampa Bay.

Peralta (8-11) earned the win Tuesday against Atlanta after allowing one run on five hits and one walk while striking out two over six innings.

Peralta navigated a difficult first inning, allowing three consecutive singles before escaping a bases-loaded jam with no further damage than just a run. He settled in from there, retiring 16 of the final 18 batters he faced and completing six innings on 92 total pitches. Peralta has now won three consecutive starts while allowing just two runs across 18 innings during that stretch, continuing his strong turnaround since joining Tampa Bay at the trade deadline.

Kremer (3-5) picked up the win in Tuesday's 3-2 victory over the Tigers, giving up two runs on five hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out three.

The right-hander blanked the home squad for four innings before Kevin McGonigle tagged him for a two-run homer in the fifth, but the Twins struck back in the top of the sixth and took the lead while Kremer was still the pitcher of record. Over seven starts since being acquired from Baltimore at the trade deadline, Kremer has a 2-1 record with a 4.79 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 31:14 K:BB in 35.2 innings. He'll look to build on this performance in his next outing, which is scheduled to come at home early next week against the Yankees.

Young (9-4) took the loss Tuesday, surrendering six runs on eight hits and two walks over 3.2 innings as the Orioles fell 9-5 to the Guardians.

The big blow was a three-run blast by Travis Bazzana in the second inning. Young was lifted after 86 pitches (53 strikes) in his shortest start since May 17, and fatigue appears to be setting in -- Young's total of 157.1 innings combined between Triple-A and the majors this season is by far a career high, and it blows past the 91 combined innings he threw across all levels in 2025. Over his last eight trips to the mound, Young has served up 11 homers in 43 innings, leading to a 5.02 ERA with a 1.49 WHIP and 32:16 K:BB. He's set to make his next start on the road early next week against the Mets.

Bibee didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 9-5 win over the Orioles, coughing up five runs on six hits and a walk over 4.1 innings. He struck out one.

Four of the six hits off Bibee went for extra bases, including a two-run homer by Pete Alonso in the fifth inning that chased him from the game. The right-hander has been tagged for five earned runs in three of his last six starts, a stretch in which he's gone 1-4 with a 5.79 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 23:14 K:BB in 32.2 innings. Bibee will try to right the ship in his next trip to the mound, which lines up to come at home early next week against the White Sox.

Houck (elbow) allowed one run on two walks over two-thirds of an inning for Double-A Portland on Tuesday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Houck began a rehab assignment with the Sea Dogs and was understandably rusty in his first game action since July 9, 2025. Only eight of his 20 offerings landed in the zone. The right-hander is next scheduled to pitch Friday and elevate his pitch count to the 40-to-45 range.

Miller (4-9) took the loss Tuesday, surrendering four runs on four hits and three walks over 3.2 innings against Texas. He struck out six.

The right-hander was scored upon in three of the four frames he pitched as he remains without a win in his past 10 outings. Miller has a 6.89 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 39:24 K:BB across 49.2 innings during that span and has also failed to last five frames in any of his past four starts. A road matchup versus the A's at hitter-friendly Sacramento is likely on tap for his next turn through the rotation.

Soriano (12-7) earned the win Tuesday, allowing two runs on six hits and one walk over seven innings against the Athletics. He struck out three.

The right-hander certainly wasn't at his most dominant Tuesday while generating just four swinging strikes and serving up two homers, but those two solo shots were the only runs he allowed. Soriano has struck out three or fewer batters in four of his seven starts since being acquired by Toronto, though his overall numbers since the trade are decent with a 4.05 ERA and 1.38 WHIP across 40 innings.

Schlittler (13-6) came away with the win Tuesday against the Rockies, allowing one run on three hits while striking out 10 across seven innings. He did not issue a walk.

The only blemish on Schlitter's line was a solo home run by Adael Amador in the third inning, but it was an otherwise spectacular outing for the American League Cy Young candidate. It was the fourth time this season (and third since the All-Star break) that Schlitter logged double-digit strikeouts, and he's allowed one run or zero in eight of his last nine starts. Among qualified starters this season, the Yankees right-hander ranks second in ERA (2.01), fourth in both WHIP (0.92) and opposing average (.189) and fifth in strikeouts (220) over 178.2 innings. Schlittler's next start is tentatively slated for this weekend at home against the Mets.
