Singer (9-10) took the loss Tuesday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks over 5.2 innings against Cleveland. He struck out three.

The Kansas City right-hander fell one out short of his 13th quality start in this 99-pitch outing. Singer held the Guardians lineup in check, allowing just one extra-base hit -- a Kyle Manzardo double in fourth -- as he lowered his post-All-Star-break ERA to 3.64 across 54.1 innings with a 1.25 WHIP and 51:11 K:BB. Overall, the 28-year-old now sports a 3.35 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 150:43 K:BB in 158.1 total innings this season. He is scheduled to make his next start against the Yankees on the road next week.

Bibee (11-6) earned the win in Tuesday's victory over the Royals, allowing one run on two hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out six.

The Cleveland right-hander picked up his fourth win and second quality start post-All-Star break with this 91-pitch performance. The only blemish on Bibee's evening came in the sixth inning when Paul DeJong hit a sacrifice fly. The 25-year-old has been on a roll in the second half, pitching to a 3.09 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 39:11 K:BB across 44 innings. Bibee currently lines up to make his next against the bottom-feeding White Sox in Chicago next week.

Meyer (3-5) took the loss Tuesday against the Nationals, allowing five runs on nine hits and a walk over 5.2 innings. He struck out five.

Four of the five runs charged to Meyer came via the home-run ball. The right-hander gave up a three-run blast to Joey Gallo in the fourth inning before Keibert Ruiz added a solo shot in the sixth. The long ball has been an issue for Meyer of late -- he's now given up seven in his last four outings (20.2 innings). Overall, the 25-year-old Meyer sports a 5.68 ERA through 57 innings this year with a 1.42 WHIP and 46:19 K:BB. He's currently slated for a tough home matchup with the Phillies this weekend in his next start.

Corbin (5-12) earned the win Tuesday over the Marlins, allowing two runs on seven hits and three walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out eight.

It's the third straight win for Corbin, who's allowed just three runs over 17.2 innings while racking up 22 strikeouts in that span -- the left-hander had struggled to an 8.51 ERA in his previous five outings. Overall, Corbin's lowered his ERA to 5.41 on the year with a 1.52 WHIP and 121:51 K:BB across 153 innings. He'll look to keep the momentum going in his next start, currently scheduled for this weekend in Pittsburgh.

Nastrini (0-7) took the loss Tuesday against the Orioles, allowing seven runs (four earned) on four hits and six walks over 1.2 innings. He struck out two.

After allowing just two runs over his last two starts (10.1 innings), Nastrini fell back to earth in Baltimore in an ugly outing. Command continues to be an issue for the rookie right-hander -- Nastrini's now carrying an 8.9 BB/9 through his first 32.1 innings. Overall, his ERA is up to 7.79 with a 1.95 WHIP and 24:32 K:BB through eight starts with the White Sox. If Chicago elects to give Nastrini another turn in the rotation, he'll line up for a home matchup early next week against the Guardians.

Povich (2-10) earned the win Tuesday over the White Sox, allowing five hits over 7.1 scoreless innings. He struck out 10.

Povich took advantage of a matchup with the last-place White Sox, turning in his best start thus far in his rookie campaign while striking out a season-high 10 batters in a scoreless effort. Povich had lost five of his last six outings coming into Tuesday, posting an ugly 9.24 ERA in that span. The left-hander lowered his ERA to 5.76 though 59.1 innings this year with a 1.60 WHIP and 47:26 K:BB. Povich is currently slated for a road matchup with the Red Sox early next week in his next start.

The Rangers placed Gray (foot) on the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

Neuroma in Gray's foot will keep him sidelined for the remainder of the season. He'll finish the 2024 campaign with a 4.47 ERA and 1.31 WHIP alongside an 86:28 K:BB across 102.2 innings.

Cortes is expected to pitch behind Luis Gil (back) or Clarke Schmidt (lat) on Friday or Saturday, respectively, against the Cubs before being re-inserted into the Yankees' rotation, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Cortes surrendered five runs over four innings Sunday against the Cardinals and will have a brief role shift with the Yankees getting back two starting pitchers from the injured list. The left-hander is tentatively expected to rejoin New York's rotation late next week during the four-game set against Boston, which begins Sept. 12.

Schmidt (lat) is scheduled to be activated from the 60-day injured list to start Saturday against the Cubs, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

The 28-year-old has been sidelined since late May due to a lat strain but is ready to rejoin the Yankees' rotation after three minor-league rehab starts. Schmidt threw 70 pitches across 4.2 innings during his final rehab outing Monday, so he'll likely have some workload limitations in his first start back in the big leagues. It appears the Yankees will be utilizing a six-man rotation with Luis Gil (back) also making his return from the injured list Friday.

Gil (back) is scheduled to be reinstated from the 15-day injured list to start Friday against the Cubs, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that the right-hander was likely to return from the injured list this weekend, and Gil is now penciled in for Friday's series opener in Chicago. The 26-year-old threw 80 pitches across 3.2 frames in his lone rehab outing, so he shouldn't have any significant workload limitations in his first start back with New York. With Clarke Schmidt (lat) making his return from the 60-day IL on Saturday, it appears the Yankees will employ a six-man rotation for the near future.
