Paddack (4-11) took the loss Sunday against the Twins, allowing eight runs on nine hits and three walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out four.

Six of the runs charged to Paddack came in the third inning, highlighted by Brooks Lee's two-out grand slam. The 29-year-old Paddack has given up 12 runs over 9.2 innings in two starts against the Twins, his former team, since joining Detroit at the trade deadline -- he allowed just six runs over 15.2 innings in his other three outings. Overall, Paddack sports a 5.10 ERA with a 1.26 WHIP and 96:31 K:BB across 25 starts (132.1 innings) between the Tigers and Twins this season. He'll look to bounce back in his next start, tentatively lined up for next week at home against the Royals.

Abreu (calf) said after Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Marlins that he hopes to be out of the lineup for just a couple days before returning to the starting nine for Thursday's series opener against the Yankees, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

The 26-year-old departed Sunday's game due to right calf tightness, though he made an impact prior to exiting with a two-run home run plus an additional run. Abreu appears set to sit out the two-game set versus Baltimore that begins Monday, but he should be able to avoid a stint on the injured list.

Manager Bruce Bochy said that Burger won't be available for at least a couple of days while he heads back to Texas to receive medical imaging on his left wrist, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Burger exited Sunday's 10-4 win over the Blue Jays due to left wrist discomfort, and there's enough concern about his injury for him to leave the team for a more thorough evaluation. The 29-year-old will miss at least the first couple games of the Rangers' upcoming series in Kansas City while the specifics of the injury are determined.

Hatch (2-0) earned the win Sunday over the Tigers, allowing a run on three hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out four.

Hatch, making his first start this season, was impressive against a Detroit team that had scored 15 runs in their previous two games. In 13.2 innings with Minnesota, Hatch has pitched to a 3.29 ERA with a 1.54 WHIP and 9:11 K:BB. The 30-year-old right-hander could get another look in the rotation while Simeon Woods Richardson (illness) and Matt Festa (shoulder) are sidelined. Hatch would tentatively line up for a road matchup with the White Sox in his next outing.

The Orioles activated Handley (wrist) from the 10-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

The 27-year-old will stick around with Norfolk after he recently wrapped up a five-game rehab assignment with the affiliate. Initially placed on the 7-day injured list June 23 due to a concussion, Handley was later shifted to the 10-day IL on July 23 due to a sprained right wrist. Though Handley is healthy again, the Orioles didn't have a spot available for him on the active roster with three other catchers already on hand (Adley Rutschman, Samuel Basallo and Alex Jackson).

The Mariners recalled Mastrobuoni from Triple-A Tacoma prior to Sunday's game against the Mets in Williamsport, Pa.

Seattle is designating Mastrobuoni as its 27th man for the 2025 MLB Little League Classic, so he'll most likely head back to Tacoma once the contest in Williamsport is completed. Mastrobuoni isn't in the lineup for Sunday's contest but is capable of serving as an in-game replacement at multiple infield or outfield positions.

Burger was removed from Sunday's game against the Royals due to left wrist discomfort, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Burger went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored before being replaced by a pinch hitter during the seventh inning. The severity of the injury remains unclear, so the first baseman should be considered day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener in Kansas City.

The Tigers optioned Hurter to Triple-A Toledo on Sunday.

Hurter hasn't given up an earned run in his past nine appearances and has a 2.45 ERA in 38 major-league appearances this season, so it's a tough-luck demotion for the left-hander. The 26-year-old also had a 2.58 ERA over 45.1 innings with the Tigers in 2024, so he should be back up with Detroit before the end of the season.

The Angels designated Brogdon for assignment Sunday.

Brogdon will lose his spot on the Angels' 40-man roster after he coughed up four earned runs over 1.1 innings between his last two relief appearances to bring his ERA up to 5.30 across 37 outings on the season. The Angels recalled right-hander Jose Fermin from Triple-A Salt Lake to replace Brogdon in the bullpen.

The Tigers recalled Hanifee from Triple-A Toledo on Sunday.

The right-hander was optioned to Toledo in early August but is back with the Tigers for Sunday's series finale in Minnesota. Hanifee has made 46 relief appearances for the Tigers this season and has recorded 11 holds with a 3.10 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 35:12 K:BB over 52.1 innings.
