DeGrom (9-9) took the loss Tuesday against the White Sox, allowing eight runs on six hits and five walks while striking out two over 3.2 innings.

DeGrom endured a disastrous 42-pitch first inning in which Chicago plated six runs, matching his season high allowed in any full-length start this season. The right-hander remained in the game into the fourth before departing with runners aboard, and two more runs were ultimately charged to him. DeGrom has now surrendered at least five runs in three of his six starts since the All-Star break. Through 130.1 innings this season, he owns a 4.21 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 159:37 K:BB. He's slated to face the Athletics at home in his next start.

Buxton was removed from Tuesday's game against the Athletics with an apparent injury, Audra Martin of Twins.tv reports.

Buxton wasn't able to reach down to get his glove on a ball hit into right-center field in the seventh inning, and he looked to be grabbing at his right hip after the play -- the same hip that caused him to miss multiple weeks earlier this month. The Twins will take a closer look at him to determine the severity of his latest injury, and an update on his status may be available after the game.

Bellinger went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run during Tuesday's 9-7 loss to Houston.

Bellinger got the Yankees on the board with a three-run long ball off Ethan Pecko in the third inning to give New York a 3-2 lead. It was Bellinger's first home run since being activated from the IL on Sunday and extended his hit streak to eight games, dating back to July 19 against the Dodgers. He has a .346 batting average (18-for-52) over his last 14 outings with one home run and six RBI.

Miles will serve as the Blue Jays' opening pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Royals, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

Miles has previously made four starts and has covered at least three innings out of the bullpen on seven other occasions, but he'll likely be in store for a lighter workload Wednesday. He hasn't recorded more than three outs in any of his last eight appearances and may not be stretched out enough to give the Blue Jays more than 2-to-3 innings. The Blue Jays will likely lean on a number of relievers to fill innings once Miles exits the game.

Garcia went 4-for-5 with a two-run home run, an RBI double and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 9-7 loss to the Astros.

Garcia tied a season high in hits Tuesday, with his third hit being a two-run long ball off Ethan Pecko to give the Yankees a 5-3 lead in the fifth inning. Since being acquired by the Yankees from the Nationals in early August, Garcia has an .860 OPS with four home runs and nine RBI over 74 plate appearances.

Warren did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's game against the Astros, allowing three runs (two earned) on seven hits and two walks while striking out four across five innings.

It wasn't the smoothest of outings for Warren, who allowed at least two baserunners in four of the five innings he pitched. He's allowed at least six hits in four of his last six outings, and over his last seven starts he has a 5.65 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 30:12 K:BB over 28.2 innings. Warren is lined up to make his next start this weekend at home against the Red Sox.

Hader earned the save in Tuesday's 9-7 win over the Yankees, striking out one batter across 1.1 scoreless innings without allowing a hit or walk.

The Astros brought out Hader with two outs and a runner on in the eighth, and the veteran southpaw answered the call by striking out Trent Grisham before securing the save on just seven pitches in the ninth. Hader has yet to blow a save chance in 19 opportunities and boasts an 0.81 ERA, 0.72 WHIP and 44:11 K:BB over 33.1 innings this season.

Varsho went 2-for-5 with two RBI during the Astros' 9-7 win over the Yankees on Tuesday.

Varsho gave the Astros an early 2-0 lead with an RBI single in the third before driving in another run in the fifth. It was the sixth multi-RBI game of the season for the veteran center fielder and second as a member of the Astros. Varsho is in the midst of a five-game hitting streak, having gone7-for-22 (.318) with three RBI and three extra-base hits in that span.

Pecko did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Yankees, allowing five runs on five hits and four walks while striking out one batter over 4.1 innings.

Pecko entered Tuesday's start looking for a better outing than his major-league debut this past Wednesday against the Angels. That didn't come to pass in the Bronx, with the 23-year-old right-hander yielding a three-run homer to Cody Bellinger in the third inning before giving up a two-run long ball to Luis Garcia in the fifth. Pecko was able to avoid the loss thanks to the offensive outburst of his Astros teammates. Still, it hasn't been the best start to the 24-year-old's major-league career, as he has allowed seven runs over his first eight innings with Houston. Pecko could be on his way back to the minors if the Astros activate Mike Burrows (elbow) from the 15-day IL ahead of the team's weekend series against the Mets.

Bassitt (5-4) earned the win Tuesday against the Cardinals, allowing one run on six hits while striking out five over 6.2 innings.

Bassitt's only blemish Tuesday came when Nathan Church led off the third inning with a solo homer, as he otherwise kept St. Louis off the board. The strong outing lowered the right-hander's ERA (4.74) below 5.00 for the first time this season. Bassitt has pitched well since returning from the injured list, allowing six runs across 17.2 innings with a 14:4 K:BB over three starts. He's scheduled to face the Athletics on the road in his next outing.
