Sandoval (1-0) earned the win Tuesday against the White Sox, allowing two runs on six hits and four walks while striking out five over five innings.

Sandoval worked around frequent traffic on the bases before Chicago finally broke through in the fifth inning with a sacrifice fly. He returned for the sixth but walked the leadoff batter, prompting his exit, and watched from the dugout as the inherited runner came around to score. Fortunately for the left-hander, Boston erupted for 13 runs through the first six innings, handing him his first win of the season on a silver platter. Sandoval has now completed at least five innings in three of his five starts with the Red Sox, posting a 3.38 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 25:10 K:BB across 24 innings. He's scheduled to face the Athletics in his next start Sunday.

Chisholm went 1-for-3 with a solo home run during Tuesday's 2-0 win over St. Louis.

Tuesday's game was a low-scoring affair, and Chisholm's solo long ball in the second inning turned out to be the game-winning run for the Yankees. It was the 17th long ball of the season for Chisholm and his first since his two-homer effort against the Pirates on July 20. He has a .695 OPS with 30 steals and 46 RBI over 420 plate appearances this season.

Martin (9-6) took the loss Tuesday against the Red Sox, allowing nine runs on 10 hits and two walks while striking out one over five innings.

After surrendering four first-inning runs in his previous outing against the Yankees, Martin endured another disastrous opening frame Tuesday. He hit a batter and gave up six hits, including back-to-back home runs by Caleb Durbin and Jarren Duran, with Durbin's blast clearing the bases for a grand slam as Boston scored six runs. Martin later allowed his third homer of the night -- a solo shot by Wilyer Abreu in the fifth -- before exiting in the sixth and watching two inherited runners come around to score. The nine runs matched his career high he previously recorded June 16. Martin has now gone nine straight starts without a victory after opening the season 9-2. He'll carry a 4.13 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 107:37 K:BB across 122 innings into his next scheduled start Sunday against Cleveland.

Lombard went 1-for-2 with a solo home run during the Yankees' 2-0 win over the Cardinals on Tuesday.

Lombard, the Yankees' top prospect, was called up to make his major-league debut Tuesday, starting at shortstop and batting eighth. He made an immediate impact defensively with a nice play in the second frame that led to a 6-4-3 double play, and he topped that in the fifth offensively with his first major-league home run. With Anthony Volpe now with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Lombard is lined up to serve as the Yankees' primary shortstop for the rest of the regular season, with Jose Caballero also in the mix for reps.

Weathers (5-7) earned the win against the Cardinals on Tuesday, allowing four hits and one walk while striking out six across six scoreless innings.

Weathers has tossed back-to-back scoreless outings and allowed just one run over his last 18.2 innings. He induced seven groundouts during Tuesday's start and needed just 88 pitches (56 strikes) to get through six innings and log his eighth quality start of the season. Thanks to his recent efforts, Weathers now sports a 3.79 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 132:34 K:BB over 121 innings this season. His next start is lined up for next week at home against the Mariners.

Cantillo (8-7) took the loss against the Mets on Tuesday, allowing five runs (two earned) on seven hits and two walks while striking out five across five innings.

It was a bit of a tough-luck loss for Cantillo given that the three-run homer he yielded to Luis Torrens in the second inning would not have happened had it not been for a throwing error by Gabriel Arias to keep the frame alive. Cantillo has taken the loss in three of his last four outings, with his last quality start taking place June 26 against the Mariners. He'll take a 3.87 ERA and 1.47 WHIP over 118.2 innings into his next start, which is lined up for this weekend on the road against the White Sox.

Yesavage was removed from Tuesday's game against the Astros due to left knee discomfort, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

Yesavage pitched two shutout innings while allowing just one batter to reach base via a walk, but he injured his knee while warming up for the third inning and was taken out of the game following a visit from a trainer. It's unknown whether the 23-year-old is at risk of missing his next start -- tentatively lined up for Monday against Boston -- but the Blue Jays should provide an update on his health in the near future.

Arrighetti (foot) threw a bullpen session Tuesday and is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

Arrighetti landed on the injured list July 25 due to nerve irritation in his right foot, but he's made encouraging progress in his recovery and even said he'd be willing to pitch in Toronto's current series against the Astros -- his former team -- if needed. He won't be eligible to return from the IL until Sunday, however, and the Blue Jays will likely hold off on having him make his team debut until around mid-August.

Jobe (elbow) has joined the Tigers for their road trip and will be activated from the 60-day injured list to make a start this weekend in San Francisco, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Jobe will claim one of the vacancies in the Detroit rotation after the Tigers traded Tarik Skubal to the Dodgers and Casey Mize to the Padres ahead of Monday's deadline. Though he hasn't pitched for the Tigers since May 28, 2025 before undergoing Tommy John surgery shortly thereafter, Jobe looked strong during his month-long rehab assignment. Over five starts across stops with four affiliates, Jobe amassed a 1.76 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 17:4 K:BB in 15.1 innings. He built up to 69 pitches during his final rehab outing Sunday, so he could be operating with a workload restriction during his 2026 debut with Detroit.

The Tigers recalled Diaz from Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

The Tigers had an extra spot available on their big-league pitching staff after unloading Tarik Skubal and Casey Mize ahead of the trade deadline, so they'll call upon Diaz to provide extra bullpen depth until the team has to fill the empty rotation spots. The 25-year-old righty has posted a 2.38 ERA and 1.53 WHIP in 11.1 innings since joining the Tigers organization in June and will likely be limited to low-leverage work as long as he's with Detroit.
