  • Blue Jays' Spencer Arrighetti: Takes loss in bulk-relief role

    Arrighetti (7-8) took the loss against the Guardians on Tuesday, allowing two runs on two hits and one walk while striking out two across 3.2 innings.

    Spencer Miles drew the start for the Blue Jays on Tuesday, and Arrighetti took over in the third inning after Ricky Tiedemann pitched the second. Arrighetti kept the Guardians off the board until the fifth inning, when he gave up a two-run homer to Patrick Bailey, and the former did not receive enough run support from his Blue Jays teammates to avoid the loss. Arrighetti has been tagged with the loss in each of his first three outings with the Blue Jays, allowing nine runs (eight earned) on 10 hits (including three home runs) and five walks while striking out 10 batters across 11 innings. He could be used as a starter or in a bulk-relief role this weekend on the road against the Royals.

  • Angel Genao 2B | CLE

    Guardians' Angel Genao: Belts pinch-hit homer Tuesday

    Genao went 1-for-2 with a two-run homer during Tuesday's 6-1 win over Toronto.

    Genao pinch hit for Travis Bazzana in the seventh inning, and the former answered the call by taking Joe Mantiply deep to left field for a two-run homer. It was the second major-league homer of Genao's career, with the first taking place Aug. 8 against the White Sox. Since making his major-league debut Aug. 5, he has gone 20-for-76 (.263) with five RBI, five extra-base hits, one steal and 10 runs scored across 22 games.

  • Guardians' Patrick Bailey: Homers against Toronto

    Bailey went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run during the Guardians' 6-1 win over the Blue Jays on Tuesday.

    Bailey put the Guardians on the board with a two-run homer off Spencer Arrighetti in the fifth inning. It was Bailey's second home run as a member of the Guardians and his fourth multi-hit game over his last seven outings, during which he has gone 8-for-18 with seven RBI and three extra-base hits.

  • Angel Martinez LF | CLE

    Guardians' Angel Martinez: Cracks two-run homer vs. Toronto

    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.

    The Guardians smacked three two-run homers during Tuesday's win, with Martinez being responsible for the third one that took place in the eighth inning. Martinez has gone deep in back-to-back games and is up to 14 homers on the year. He has four multi-hit games over his last nine outings, going 11-for-31 (.355) with two homers, six RBI and six runs scored in that span.

  • 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.

    Athletics' Tommy White: Exits with injury

    White tweaked his back on a swing in the second inning, and he was removed from the game before he could finish his at-bat. The A's will take a closer look at him and should provide an update on his health in the near future.

  • Luis Robert CF | BAL

    Orioles' Luis Robert: Idle Tuesday

    Robert isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Colorado.

  • Coby Mayo 3B | BAL

    Orioles' Coby Mayo: Sitting down Tuesday

    Mayo isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies.

  • Trey Yesavage SP | TOR

    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.
