Lopez (15-8) earned the win Tuesday against the Angels, allowing four unearned runs on eight hits and one walk over seven innings. He struck out 10.

The Minnesota righty picked up his sixth consecutive quality start -- and 17th of the season -- with this dazzling 105-pitch performance. Although he generated only 13 whiffs on the evening, Lopez managed to post his third double-digit strikeout game of the season, marking his first since punching out 14 at Oakland on June 23. After pitching to an unsightly 5.11 ERA across 104 innings in the first half, the 28-year-old has returned to ace form since the All-Star break, firing a 1.92 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 62:12: K:BB over 65.1 innings. He lines up to make his next start against the division-leading Guardians on the road next week.

Greene went 2-for-3 with a walk, a triple, two runs scored and three RBI in Tuesday's 11-0 win over the Rockies.

Greene has been playing well lately, batting .297 over his last 10 games with four extra-base hits and eight RBI. The young outfielder has all the talent in the world, and he's putting it on display this year with an .837 OPS and 20 home runs across 120 games. As long as Greene stays healthy, he should be primed for a strong finish to the season.

Canning (5-13) took the loss Tuesday against the Twins, allowing 10 runs (nine earned) on nine hits and three walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out four.

The 28-year-old suffered through his roughest outing of the season, allowing a career-worst nine earned runs in this 105-pitch showing. Canning yielded three long balls, equaling a season-worst mark from a start against Boston on April 5. This also marks his third consecutive appearance with three or more walks, as Canning has generated just 15 strikeouts against 11 free passes over his last 17.1 innings. Overall, the Los Angeles right-hander has now pitched to an ugly 5.35 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 117:59 K:BB across 156.1 innings this season. He gets some reprieve in his next start, as he's currently scheduled to face the White Sox at home next week.

Meadows went 2-for-3 with two walks, a solo home run, two additional runs scored and three total RBI in Tuesday's 11-0 win over the Rockies.

Meadows has been rolling lately, as he's batting .381 over his last five games with four extra-base hits and 12 RBI. The 24-year-old is starting to live up to his prospect pedigree, and while his season stat line might not reflect it, he's turning into a true fantasy contributor. Meadows should continue to pace Detroit's offense as a dynamic leadoff hitter against righties.

Thomas went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer, a double and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 5-0 victory over the White Sox.

The Guardians' center fielder stretched the team's lead to 4-0 with a 374-foot, three-run homer off reliever Gus Varland in the sixth inning. After floundering with a .148 (12-for-81) batting average in his first 28 games with Cleveland, Thomas has now collected a hit in all eight games he's started this month. The 29-year-old has hit .364 (12-for-33) with three homers, four doubles, four runs scored and nine RBI across nine games in September.

Cannon (3-10) took the loss Tuesday, allowing three runs on seven hits and one walk over 5.1 innings against Cleveland. He struck out four.

Cannon picked up his fifth loss out of his last six starts with this 91-pitch appearance. The 24-year-old rookie fared well through the first five innings, scattering six hits that produced one run, before unraveling in the sixth. He left two runners on via a walk and single that were promptly driven home when reliever Gus Varland yielded a homer to his first batter faced, Lane Thomas. Cannon has now failed to reach five strikeouts in six consecutive starts, during which he's struggled to a 6.16 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 23:14 K:BB across 30.2 innings. He is projected to make his next outing against the Angels in Los Angeles next week.

McCormick was removed from Tuesday's game against the Athletics due to right wrist discomfort, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

McCormick likely hurt his wrist while crashing into the outfield wall, though the severity of his injury remains unknown. Should he need to miss any games, Jake Meyers would presumably receive an uptick in playing time.

Mullins went 2-for-4 with two home runs, three RBI, a stolen base and a walk in Tuesday's 5-3 win against the Red Sox.

The Orioles center fielder opened the game's scoring when he cracked a 334-foot solo shot to right around Pesky's Pole in the first inning. Mullins then returned to slug another homer, this one going 407 feet and of the two-run variety, off starting pitcher Kutter Crawford in his next at-bat. Mullins has caught fire in September, as he's hitting .400 (12-for-30) with four homers, two steals, seven runs scored and nine RBI across nine games so far this month.

Dominguez earned the save in Tuesday's 5-3 victory against Boston, pitching a scoreless inning with two strikeouts while allowing one hit.

The Baltimore closer required only 14 pitches to retire the side in the ninth to collect his ninth save with the team since arriving via trade July 26. Dominguez has a been a steady source of strikeouts for a reliever, as he's now posted three consecutive multi-K appearances. The 29-year-old flamethrower has now pitched to a 2.60 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 23:4 K:BB across 17.1 innings with the Orioles.

Suarez (8-5) earned the win Tuesday at Boston, allowing one run on four hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out eight.

After a poor six-run outing in his last start against the White Sox on Sept. 4, the 34-year-old stymied the Red Sox, generating an incredible 21 whiffs en route to his eight Ks. Despite having three of the four hits he allowed go for doubles, Suarez managed to collect his sixth quality start, marking his fourth in his last six starts. Overall, the veteran right-hander has now pitched to a 3.39 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 95:39 K:BB across 119.1 innings this season. He is line to make his next appearance against the Giants at home next week.
