Kelly (12-8) took the loss Tuesday against the Astros, allowing six runs on nine hits and a walk while striking out one over three-plus innings.

Kelly never fully settled in, and his outing unraveled in the fourth when he allowed five consecutive hits on just 12 pitches without recording an out before being lifted. The six runs were his highest total allowed in a start since April 3, when he was tagged for nine by the Yankees. It also marked Kelly's shortest outing since 2022, a discouraging result for a Texas team fighting for a playoff spot. The 36-year-old will look to rebound in his next scheduled start against the Twins.

Blubaugh struck out seven and scattered two hits and one walk over three scoreless innings in his start during Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Rangers. He didn't factor into the decision in the victory.

Called upon to make his second start of the season in what was essentially a bullpen game for the Astros, Blubaugh was electric out of the gate, striking out the first four batters he faced on his way to racking up an eye-popping 21 called or swinging strikes on only 50 pitches before giving way to Colton Gordon. Blubaugh has been outstanding in September, working 11 consecutive scoreless innings with 16 strikeouts and four walks. The rookie carries a 2.16 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 32:7 K:BB across 25 innings this season. He'll likely shift back to the bullpen temporarily but could be called upon when the Astros next require a fifth starter during the final series of the regular season versus the Angels.

Carlson went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Tuesday's 8-7 win over the White Sox.

The double was Carlson's first extra-base hit in September, and the multi-hit game was his first since Aug. 16. Despite having plenty of opportunities to seize a more significant role in the Orioles' outfield -- Ramon Laureano, Ryan O'Hearn and Cedric Mullins were all traded away in July, and Tyler O'Neill has spent plenty of time on the IL -- Carlson has struggled to find his footing. Since the start of August, he's slashing .186/.293/.337 with two home runs and five RBI over 99 plate appearances (30 games) en route to a putrid .622 OPS for the year.

Kremer (10-10) allowed two runs on four hits and three walks over 5.2 innings Tuesday, striking out four and earning a win against the White Sox.

It wasn't Kremer's sharpest outing, but he got the job done after allowing a two-run shot to Kyle Teel in the first inning. Despite striking out only four batters, Kremer racked up 16 whiffs on 97 total pitches, including eight with his splitter. However, it was the first time he issued more than two walks since July 19. Kremer is now sporting a 4.39 ERA with a 136:44 K:BB through 164 innings. He's lined up for a home start against the Rays next week.

Smith (6-8) yielded six runs on nine hits and a walk over 4.1 innings Tuesday, striking out seven and taking a loss against Baltimore.

Smith worked through two scoreless frames before things unraveled. He was charged with two runs in each of the third, fourth and fifth innings before getting the hook. It was the first time he didn't complete at least five innings since Aug. 1, and he took his first loss since July 6. Smith was 3-0 with a 3.04 ERA over nine starts since that last loss. He's now sporting a 4.06 ERA with a 129:54 K:BB through 135.1 innings on the year. Smith is projected for a road matchup with the Yankees next week.

Akin allowed a hit and struck out two in a scoreless inning to earn a save against the White Sox on Tuesday.

Akin gave up a one-out single to Chase Meidroth before striking out the last two batters he faced to close out the 8-7 win. It was Akin's sixth save in nine chances since the start of August. During that span, he's produced a 3.15 ERA while also adding four holds. For the year, Akin owns a 3.20 ERA with a 56:31 K:BB and six saves through 59 innings.

Teel went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's loss to Baltimore.

Teel got the scoring started with a two-run shot in the first inning. It was his eighth long ball of the year and fourth over his last 12 games. The rookie catcher has gone 29-for-88 (.330) with nine extra-base hits over his last 24 games. Teel has produced an impressive .281/.377/.433 slash line through his first 69 career games.

Henderson went 3-for-5 with a run scored and two RBI in Tuesday's win against the White Sox.

Henderson delivered RBI singles in the third and fifth innings for his first multi-RBI game since Aug. 18. Over his previous 24 games, he had driven in just five runs while producing a .592 OPS. Henderson is still in a power slump and his homerless drought stands at 20 games. He's slashing .272/.348/.440 with 64 RBI and 82 runs scored this season through 604 plate appearances.

Beavers went 2-for-5 with a home run, a triple and three RBI in Tuesday's win against the White Sox.

Beavers knocked an RBI triple in the fifth inning before belting a two-run homer in the seventh. It was his second career long ball and first since Aug. 21, snapping a 20-game drought. Beavers owns a strong .275/.420/.438 slash line with eight extra-base hits and 11 RBI through his first 101 plate appearances, but he has only one steal in two attempts for Baltimore after going 23-for-28 on the basepaths at Triple-A Norfolk prior to his promotion.

Lowe went 2-for-5 with a home run and four RBI in Tuesday's loss to Toronto.

Lowe put the Rays on the board with a somewhat controversial three-run shot in the third inning -- it held up on replay even though a fan was ruled to have reached over the outfield wall and interfered with the play -- and later added an RBI single in the ninth. He snapped a 13-game homerless drought, during which he posted a .503 OPS with 23 punchouts. Lowe now owns a .258/.309/.476 slash line with 29 home runs and 79 RBI through 127 games.
