Arrighetti (1-3) took the loss Tuesday against Boston, allowing two runs on one hit and five walks with three strikeouts over five innings.

Arrighetti was hit around by Miami in his first start off the injured list last week and struggled to find the zone Tuesday. The 25-year-old had been sidelined since early April, so it's not too surprising for him to be rusty. That said, he allowed nine runs (seven earned) during his three-start minor-league rehab stint, which doesn't inspire much confidence. He'll look to get back on track in his next start, which is tentatively scheduled to come in Detroit.

Vargas went 0-for-3 with two walks and a run scored Tuesday against the Tigers.

Vargas returned from the injured list Tuesday after a minimum stint. He hit sixth in the lineup and played first base while scoring in the eighth inning on an RBI single from Edgar Quero. Vargas figures to be a regular in the lineup moving forward.

Thomas (foot) is running and performing baseball activities, MLB.com reports.

Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said Tuesday that Thomas, whose injury the manager described as a "complicated case," is feeling a lot better and progressing well. The outfielder could potentially return early in September.

Mead went 2-for-5 with one RBI and two runs scored Tuesday against the Tigers.

Mead has started seven straight games since being recalled by the White Sox, playing primarily at first base. The playing time there is likely to disappear due to the return of Miguel Vargas, but Mead shifted to third base on Tuesday. The White Sox will look to continue to find ways to get Mead into the lineup, as he has at least one hit in four of those seven contests and has gone 7-for-27 with five RBI and a stolen base.

Bregman went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 14-1 win over Houston.

Bregman has homered in back-to-back games against his former team, with Tuesday's long ball coming at the expense of Shawn Dubin. Bregman's now up to 16 home runs on the year. In his last eight games, Bregman is 11-for-28 (.393) with eight runs scored, six RBI and a 7:3 BB:K.

Leiter didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against Arizona, allowing one run on four hits and two walks with three strikeouts over five innings.

The only damage against Leiter came in the third inning, when Blaze Alexander clubbed a solo home run. The long ball snapped Leiter's streak of three consecutive starts without allowing a homer. Leiter threw 58 of his 91 pitches for strikes and walked fewer than three batters for the first time in six outings. The 25-year-old will take a 3.94 ERA and 96:54 K:BB into his next start, which is scheduled to come early next week against Kansas City.

Anthony went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, a stolen base and three additional runs scored during Tuesday's 14-1 win over the Astros.

Anthony walked four times Tuesday, setting a career high in the category and matching the most walks in a game by any hitter in MLB this season. He punished the Astros on one of the few pitches they threw him in the zone, lifting a solo homer in the eighth inning off Colton Gordon. Anthony has gone yard in back-to-back games and has a five-game hit streak. He's 7-for-19 (.368) during that five-game stretch.

Teel went 2-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored Tuesday against the Tigers.

Teel was part of a five-run fifth inning for the White Sox, walking with the bases loaded to drive in one. After holding his own through the first month of his time in the majors, Teel has shown signs of breaking out since the All-Star break. Across 17 games, he's hit .310 with two home runs, seven RBI and nine runs scored with five total extra-base hits.

Hatch didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Yankees, allowing four runs on five hits and seven walks in 4.1 innings. He struck out two.

With several Twins starters on the injured list, Hatch was tasked with eating some innings as a long reliever but struggled mightily to find the plate. The 30-year-old right-hander tossed just 51 of his 99 pitches for strikes Tuesday, and the seven walks issued set a career-worst mark. Hatch has a 5.59 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 6:8 K:BB over his first 9.2 innings. He'll carry minimal fantasy appeal in his next appearance, which is tentatively projected for this weekend in Detroit.

Rodon (12-7) earned the win Tuesday against the Twins, allowing one run on one hit and two walks in seven innings. He struck out five.

Rodon gave up one run on one hit and one walk in a shaky first inning, but he more than settled in and was just about untouchable from that point on. Tuesday also represented the first instance since his July 11 start in which the All-Star left-hander pitched at least seven innings, and Rodon now sports a 3.25 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 164:58 K:BB over 146.2 frames. His next outing is slated for next week in Tampa Bay against the Rays, who have a .604 OPS versus left-handed pitching since the beginning of July.
