Martinez went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and two additional runs scored during the Guardians' 6-1 win over the Blue Jays on Tuesday.

Gavin Williams SP | CLE
Guardians' Gavin Williams: Career-high 13 strikeouts in win
Williams (13-7) earned the win against the Blue Jays on Tuesday, allowing one unearned run on two hits and one walk while striking out 13 across seven innings.
It was a nearly flawless performance from Williams, who capped off Tuesday's start by striking out five of the last six batters he faced. The one blemish to his night was a wild pitch in the fifth inning that allowed Kazuma Okamoto to score, but it was an otherwise spectacular night from Williams and a nice bounce back from his last outing against the Angels on Aug. 25, when he failed to make it out of the second inning. Williams' 13 wins are a career high, and he'll take a 3.81 ERA and 1.09 WHIP over 163 innings into his next start, tentatively slated for this weekend at home against Detroit.

Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: Ready for bullpen Friday
Manager John Schneider said Yesavage (knee) will throw his first bullpen Friday, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.
Yesavage has been throwing off flat ground, but he is about ready to take the next step in his recovery. When he has his bullpen session Friday, it will be about three weeks since he had surgery Aug. 11 to repair his torn meniscus. The right-hander is eyeing a return before the end of the season.

Astros' Daulton Varsho: Not in Tuesday's lineup
Varsho is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Liam Hicks C | TB
Rays' Liam Hicks: On bench vs. lefty
Hicks is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.
It's the third straight game against a southpaw starter that Hicks isn't starting, so he appears to be working in the strong side of a platoon at catcher. The 27-year-old has raked in 22 games since being acquired by the Rays at the trade deadline with three homers and a .947 OPS in 80 plate appearances. Nick Fortes is picking up another start behind the plate Tuesday versus New York lefty Sean Manaea.
