Williams went 2-for-4 with two runs scored in Tuesday's 9-7 win over the Angels.

Williams contributed in the high-scoring affair, logging a pair of singles and scoring twice. The 27-year-old has put together a solid September, slashing .273/.322/.491 with two homers, four RBI, eight runs and a stolen base over 19 contests. On the year, the shortstop is hitting .265/.304/.427 with four homers, 16 RBI, 27 runs and a stolen base across 87 games.

Kuroda-Grauer went 0-for-2 in Tuesday's 9-7 win over the Angels.

Kuroda-Grauer came up empty in his first MLB game since July 20 after recovering from surgery for a ruptured testicle. The 23-year-old has impressed in a small sample with the Athletics, slashing .403/.422/.565 with a homer, four RBI and eight runs in 64 plate appearances. Kuroda-Grauer started Tuesday's contest at second base and figures to continue seeing action at the keystone over the club's final five games of the regular season.

Witt went 3-for-4 with a double in Tuesday's 14-11 loss to the White Sox.

Witt sprayed a trio of hits, his second three-hit effort over the past three games. In 19 September contests, the star shortstop is slashing .268/.369/.394 with two homers, five RBI, 11 runs and seven stolen bases. On the year, Witt is hitting .283/.362/.444 with 18 homers, 54 RBI, 88 runs and 43 stolen bases across 138 games.

Eovaldi (11-10) took the loss and was charged with his first blown save after allowing three runs on three hits and a walk over one inning in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Mets. He did not record a strikeout.

Eovaldi entered to begin the sixth with Texas protecting a 3-2 lead but couldn't hold the advantage. Brett Baty doubled and Marcus Semien reached before Francisco Alvarez delivered a two-run double to put New York ahead 4-3. Luis Torrens followed with a sacrifice fly that brought Alvarez home and completed the three-run inning. Eovaldi needed 29 pitches to record three outs, and this rough appearance increased his ERA to 4.27. This was Eovaldi's first time allowing more than one earned run since the end of July, and he will continue to pitch in relief down the stretch.

Fedde is slated to pitch in bulk relief behind opener Bryan Hudson during Wednesday's game in Kansas City, James Fegan of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Hudson is likely to cover the first inning or two before handing the ball over to Fedde, who has been part of the rotation for most of the season but has frequently moved between starting and bulk-relief roles. Over 16 appearances out of the bullpen in 2026, Fedde has logged a 3.95 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 5.9 K-BB% across 66 innings.

Gonsolin allowed five runs on four hits and three walks while striking out five over 2.2 innings of relief Tuesday against the White Sox.

Working out of the bullpen, Gonsolin got through the fifth and sixth innings unscathed before imploding in a five-run seventh frame, surrendering a two-run homer to Munetaka Murakami. In his debut with the Royals and first big-league appearance since undergoing Tommy John surgery with an internal brace procedure in August 2025, the right-hander logged 63 pitches (35 strikes). Gonsolin is likely to remain in the bullpen for the final five games of 2026, but he could compete for a role in the starting rotation in 2027 if Kansas City picks up his team option.

Gore didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Mets after giving up two runs (one earned) on four hits and one walk while striking out two over five innings.

Gore fell an inning shy of a quality start, but this abbreviated outing was still a step in the right direction since he had given up at least three runs while pitching four or fewer innings in each of his previous three starts. Even with this solid showing, Gore has an elevated 5.91 ERA and 1.78 WHIP through five outings since the beginning of September.

Basallo (head) is not in the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Blue Jays.

Basallo had to be lifted from Monday's game versus the Blue Jays after taking a foul tip off his catcher's mask. The Orioles are keeping a close eye on Basallo to see if he develops concussion symptoms, which leaves his status for the final week of the regular season in limbo. Carlos Narvaez will do the catching for Baltimore during Wednesday's matinee.

Chisholm went 1-for-3 with a walk in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Rays.

Activated from the IL between games of the twin bill after recovering from a thumb injury, Chisholm got the start at second base and hit sixth. With the Yankees now locked into a wild-card spot after splitting the doubleheader, Chisholm's focus will be on staying healthy and getting ready for the first round of the playoffs next week, so he may not be an everyday presence in the lineup over the final days of the regular season. He needs one more home run to record his second career 20-40 campaign.

Caballero went 1-for-3 with two stolen bases in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Rays.

The utility infielder got the start at third base and hit ninth in the matinee before returning to the bench for the nightcap. Caballero looks like he'll fall short of his third straight season with 40-plus steals, but his 34 pilfers in 133 games still have him fifth in the AL behind Chandler Simpson (46), Bobby Witt (43), Jazz Chisholm (40) and Jose Ramirez (35).
