Lowe went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Mariners.

Lowe went deep off Logan Gilbert in the sixth inning, and that play was the difference in the game. After doubling his hit total for the month, Lowe is 4-for-20 (.200) across 11 games in September while filling a part-time role. He's batting .210 with a .644 OPS, 12 homers, 29 RBI, 28 runs scored, eight doubles and nine stolen bases across 104 contests this season.

Watson allowed a hit in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Mariners.

Watson has rebounded well after struggling late in August. He's on a seven-inning scoreless streak with a save and five holds over his last eight appearances. Watson got the save chance Tuesday since the Angels have been avoiding having Ben Joyce pitch consecutive days, and he worked a scoreless inning Monday on 20 pitches. For the year, Watson has a 3.99 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 60:22 K:BB over 70 innings between the Angels and the Red Sox. He's added three saves, eight holds and two blown saves, with the bulk of his high-leverage work coming with the Angels.

Johnson (5-8) allowed one run on six hits and a hit batsman while striking out seven and walking none over six innings to earn the win over the Mariners on Tuesday.

This was Johnson's fourth quality start in his last five outings, and he's come away with a win in three of those games. The 24-year-old struggled at times during his early stints in the majors, but he's turned the corner with just 10 runs allowed over 44.1 innings since the start of August. Overall, Johnson sports a 4.88 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 70:39 K:BB through 90.1 innings over 20 games (17 starts) this year. He's projected to make his next start at home versus the Twins.

Latz earned the save Tuesday against the Red Sox, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out three over 1.2 innings.

Latz preserved the lead and secured the five-out save, his first save of over three outs since Aug. 15. The 30-year-old struck out Andruw Monasterio to escape a bases-loaded jam in the eighth, then punched out two more in the ninth for his 30th save. The southpaw sports a 2.00 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 76:22 K:BB over 67.1 innings this season.

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.

Sogard went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a strikeout during Tuesday's 4-2 loss to Texas.

Sogard swatted his fifth homer of the season in the third inning off Jacob deGrom to cut the lead in half. The 29-year-old has reached base safely in eight of his last 10 games. This year, the switch-hitter is batting .264/.360/.416 with five homers and 19 RBI in 233 plate appearances.

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.

The Yankees optioned Hanner to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after Tuesday's game against the Twins.

Hanner gave up four earned runs in just 1.1 innings during his lone outing after coming up from the minors Friday, and he'll now move back to Triple-A in preparation for Clarke Schmidt's (elbow) return from the injured list Wednesday. Hanner boasts a 2.44 ERA across 55.1 innings at Triple-A this season but has allowed seven earned runs in 5.1 frames with the Yankees.

Fisher allowed two walks while striking out one batter across 1.1 innings during the Blue Jays' 10-1 loss to the Tigers on Tuesday.

Fisher served as the Blue Jays' opener in Tuesday's bullpen game, and he was able to work his way out of back-to-back walks to start the first inning to keep the Tigers off the board. The 26-year-old right-hander has been a steady presence in Toronto's bullpen this season, sporting a 3.16 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, one save, 13 holds and a 73:40 K:BB over 74 innings.
