Lowe went 1-for-3 with a walk and two stolen bases Tuesday against the Twins.

Lowe continues to be aggressive on the basepaths, as 11 of his 21 stolen bases have come in his last 22 games. His all-around performance has also improved after an injury-plagued first half, as he's maintained a .291 average with four homers, 16 RBI and 16 runs scored across 38 contests since the All-Star break.

Aranda went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored Tuesday against the Twins.

Aranda was in the lineup at first base and made his second start in five games since being recalled. So long as the Rays' infield remains healthy, it appears that Aranda will struggle to get consistent playing time. He's gone 2-for-10 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored since being recalled.

The Royals outrighted Nola to Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.

Nola cleared waivers after being removed from the 40-man roster and will remain in the organization as catching depth. The 34-year-old has spent all of 2024 at Omaha, slashing just .158/.247/.301 line in 46 games.

Uceta allowed two hits and struck out two across two-thirds of an inning Tuesday against the Twins.

Uceta was called upon to protect a 2-1 lead in the ninth inning. He allowed consecutive singles to lead off the frame, but he struck out the next two batters he faced before being pulled in favor of Garrett Cleavinger. Despite losing out on a save chance, Uceta has still been excellent since Pete Fairbanks (lat) went on the injured list, racking up an 11:1 K:BB across 5.2 innings while recording a save, a hold and a win.

Crawford (8-13) took the loss Tuesday, giving up two runs on one hit and two walks over six innings as the Red Sox were downed 7-2 by the Mets. He struck out eight.

The right-hander made only one real mistake, but Francisco Lindor drove it deep to right field for a two-run homer in the third inning, and Boston never recovered. Crawford has lost four straight trips to the mound, but the fault lies mainly with the Red Sox offense -- he's posted a 3.52 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 18:7 K:BB in 23 innings over that stretch. Tuesday's quality start was his second straight and 13th of the year. Crawford will try to get back in the win column in his next outing, which lines up to come at home early next week against the Orioles.

Guerrero went 4-for-5 with a double, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 10-9 loss to the Phillies.

The first baseman led a 16-hit barrage for the Blue Jays and added his 28th homer of the season off Taijuan Walker in the sixth inning, but it wasn't enough. Guerrero is once again one of the hottest hitters in the majors, racking up seven multi-hit performance over his last nine contests while slashing .500/.550/.806 over that stretch with five doubles, two home runs, eight runs and eight RBI.

Green (4-5) blew the save and took the loss Tuesday as the Blue Jays fell 10-9 to the Phillies, coughing up three runs on three hits over two-thirds of an inning. He struck out two.

Toronto held 6-1 and 8-4 leads earlier in the game, but Green completed the collapse by allowing three straight hits to begin the ninth inning, the last of which was a three-run homer by Kyle Schwarber. Green has served up a three-run blast in back-to-back appearances while blowing consecutive save chances, sending his ERA soaring from 1.61 to 2.72, but those were his first two blown saves of the season. The Jays don't have a clear alternative at closer unless Jordan Romano (elbow) is able to make it back in September, so Green should get a chance to work through his struggles.

Renfroe (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Northwest Arkansas on Wednesday.

Renfroe went through a full workout Tuesday and will now test himself in a game setting. The 32-year-old could require just one rehab contest, as he is poised to rejoin the Royals' active roster this weekend if all goes well. Renfroe has been shelved since late August with a right hamstring strain.

Bassitt came away with a no-decision in Tuesday's 10-9 loss to the Phillies, giving up four runs (three earned) on 10 hits and two walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out seven.

The right-hander got staked to an early 6-1 lead and exited the game with the Blue Jays still in the lead, but the bullpen couldn't make it hold up. Bassitt is still looking for his 10th win of the season -- in nine starts since the All-Star break he's posted a sharp 56:14 K:BB in 49.2 innings, but it's led to just a 5.98 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and a 1-6 record. He'll look for a better result in his next outing, which is scheduled to come at home early next week against the Mets.

Devers will bat second in the order Wednesday, Bill Ladson of MLB.com reports.

Devers is slumping, and the Red Sox hope moving him up in the order, behind speedy leadoff batter Jarren Duran, will give him a lot of fastballs. Since returning from a three-game stint to rest his shoulders, Devers is 1-for-21 (.048) over five games.
