Cleavinger picked up the save Tuesday against Seattle, throwing a perfect inning with zero strikeouts.

Griffin Jax began the ninth inning, but after he yielded a pair of walks and a single to the first three batters he faced, Tampa Bay turned to Cleavinger with the bases loaded and nobody out. Cleavinger surrendered a sacrifice fly, with the run being attributed to Jax, but Cleavinger didn't allow the Mariners to complete the comeback. Now with two saves on the season, Cleavinger has an impressive 1.75 ERA in 51.1 innings. He hasn't allowed a run in 18 straight innings.

Caminero went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a two-RBI double and an RBI single during Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Mariners.

Caminero posted his sixth game with more than three RBI this season, and notched multiple hits and RBI for a second straight contest. The third baseman has hit five home runs in his last 10 games, going 14-for-41 (.341) with three doubles and 14 RBI during that stretch. Caminero's sixth-inning homer off Bryan Woo made him the sixth player in baseball to reach the 40-homer mark in 2025.

Polanco went 2-for-2 with a solo home run and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Rays.

Polanco walked twice in addition to his pair of hits, reaching base in each of his plate appearances Tuesday. A fourth-inning solo home run off Drew Rasmussen marked Polanco's third long ball in five games and his fifth round tripper in his last 11 games. The 32-year-old is slashing .254/.319/.472 in 2025.

Farris (1-0) picked up the win Tuesday against Kansas City, allowing one run on three hits and two walks across five innings. He struck out three.

Farris made his MLB debut Tuesday after being called up from Double-A Rocket City. The 24-year-old had posted a 4.27 ERA and 1.47 WHIP in 116 innings with Rocket City, but he had minimal trouble with the Royals. Farris' 11.0 K/9 at Double-A didn't quite translate, however. Given his performance, Farris figures to stick in the Angels' rotation, and his next start would likely come Sunday against the Athletics.

Lorenzen (5-9) took the loss Tuesday against the Angels, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk with five strikeouts over six innings.

Lorenzen was cruising until the sixth inning, when he allowed a single and a two-run home run to Jo Adell. Adell's blast prevented Lorenzen from notching his third scoreless start in his last five appearances. On the year, Lorenzen owns a 4.54 ERA with a 105:34 K:BB across 119 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to close out a two-start week Sunday against Minnesota.

Jansen picked up the save Tuesday against the Royals, walking one batter and recording two strikeouts during a scoreless ninth inning.

Jansen had gone four straight appearances without recording a strikeout -- his longest streak of the season -- but he nabbed a pair of Ks in Tuesday's save opportunity. The 37-year-old closer is now one save away from matching his 2024 total, and his current 2.89 ERA would be his best since the 2021 season.

Adell went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run and a double during Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Royals.

Adell clubbed a go-ahead two-run home run in the sixth inning, his seventh long ball in the last 15 games and his second in as many days. During that 15-game stretch, Adell is 20-for-56 (.357) with three doubles and 14 RBI.

Peraza went 2-for-4 with an RBI double, a run scored and a stolen base during Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Royals.

Peraza has struggled mightily at the plate this season, slashing .152/.212/.241 in 170 plate appearances with the Yankees before being traded to the Halos. The versatile infielder started his time in Los Angeles going 2-for-18, but he's begun to turn it around. In his last four games, Peraza is 5-for-13 (.385) with a home run, two stolen bases and four total RBI.

Martin (6-9) picked up the win Tuesday against Minnesota, allowing three runs on six hits and three walks with four strikeouts over six innings.

Martin nabbed his second quality start in his last eight appearances and picked up a win in his third straight decision. He didn't allow a home run Tuesday after yielding four long balls across his prior two outings. In his last eight starts, Martin has a 4.57 ERA and 36:22 K:BB across 41.1 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Tigers on Sunday.

Woods Richardson didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the White Sox, allowing three runs (two earned) on two hits and three walks across five innings. He struck out seven.

Woods Richardson struggled in his first start back from the injured list Aug. 27, allowing five runs and three homers while striking out two across 3.2 innings. He fared much better Tuesday, tying his season high in strikeouts. The 24-year-old will carry a 4.53 ERA into his next start, which is scheduled to come against the Angels.
