Munoz earned the save in Wednesday's 3-2 win over Texas, working around a walk while striking out two in a scoreless ninth inning.

Munoz found himself in trouble in the ninth after issuing a walk to lead off the frame. After the runner advanced to second on a fielder's choice, Munoz proceeded to strike out the next two batters, stranding the tying run and logging his 26th save this season. The 27-year-old has been sharp of late, allowing just two runs on two hits while striking out 15 in his last nine innings. Overall, his ERA sits at 4.05 across 53.1 innings this year with a 1.14 WHIP and 85:21 K:BB.

Peck went 1-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Twins. He also stole a base.

Peck did a little bit of everything in the victory, including stealing his second base in as many games after getting a day off Tuesday. The 24-year-old is getting his first taste of MLB action and has become Detroit's primary option at shortstop, though veteran Javier Baez can still play there along with fellow rookie Kevin McGonigle when he's not covering third. If Peck performs well down the stretch, he'll put himself in position to be the Tigers' Opening Day shortstop in 2027.

Montero didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Twins, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks over four innings. He struck out two.

The start of the game was delayed by 100 minutes due to rain, but Montero may have had a limited workload regardless. The right-hander was lifted after 74 pitches (39 strikes), the third time in his last four outings he's failed to reach 80 pitches. Montero's 147 innings on the season are a career high, but right in line with the 133.1 innings he tossed in 2025 and the 146.2 he worked in 2024 across all levels, so fatigue shouldn't be a big factor for him. Over his last eight trips to the mound, however, Montero's sagged to a 4.61 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 20:12 K:BB in 41 frames. With Jack Flaherty (forearm) and River Ryan options to join the big-league staff before the end of the season, Montero could be shifted into a tandem or piggyback role over the final weeks.

Anderson (1-1) earned the win Wednesday over the Rangers, allowing a run on six hits and one walk over six innings. He struck out five.

After giving up four runs in a loss to the A's his last time out, Anderson responded with his best start in the majors thus far. The southpaw allowed one run on a Jake Burger homer in the second inning before holding the Rangers to just three hits over his final four frames en route to both his first win and quality start with Seattle. Through four MLB outings, Anderson sports a 4.29 ERA with a 1.38 WHIP and 16:8 K:BB over 21 innings. He's tentatively lined up to face the Angels on the road in his next start.

Keith went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Twins.

Keith was eventually lifted for pinch hitter Spencer Torkelson, but not before he clubbed his 10th home run of the season just three batters into the game to give Detroit an early 2-0 lead. The 25-year-old is seeing more time at first base lately in place of the struggling Torkelson, and that arrangement could stick down the stretch, at least against right-handed starters, where the left-handed bat of Keith holds the platoon advantage. He's not been an elite fantasy performer by any means, though his current playing time gives Keith a fairly stable floor.

Matthews (9-10) took the loss Wednesday as the Twins fell 7-2 to the Tigers, coughing up five runs on two hits and four walks over 2.1 innings. He struck out two.

Two runs in the first inning and three more in the third chased Matthews from the mound after just 58 pitches (27 strikes) in his shortest outing of the season, which was delayed by an hour and 40 minutes prior to the first pitch. It was a tough pill to swallow for the right-hander after he came in lasting at least five frames in eight straight starts, posting a 3.64 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 39:12 K:BB over that stretch. The loss drops Minnesota to 4.5 games back of a wild-card spot with 16 to play, and four other teams it would need to move past to make the postseason. Matthews lines up to make his next start at home next week against the Yankees.

The Yankees are expected to recall Volpe from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.

The Yankees are going to need an extra infielder once they place Jazz Chisholm (thumb) on the injured list, and it will be Volpe who joins the parent club as the replacement. The 25-year-old has thrived since moving down to Triple-A in early August, slashing .295/.393/.667 with 10 homers, 31 RBI, 22 runs and eight steals across 122 plate appearances with the RailRiders. He's worked exclusively as a shortstop throughout his four seasons in the majors but has lately been working at second and third base in the minors, which could open up more avenues to playing time once he rejoins the Pinstripes.

Seabold (lat) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Omaha on Thursday.

Seabold is finally ready to pitch in games again after being sidelined since late June with a right lat strain. The 30-year-old is aiming to rejoin the Royals' bullpen before the conclusion of the regular season.

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

McArthur has not pitched anywhere since 2024, first due to surgery to repair a fractured right elbow and later because of an additional procedure on the elbow to combat recurring inflammation. He should rejoin the Royals' bullpen later this month if things go well on the rehab assignment.

Contreras (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment at Double-A Portland on Friday, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

Contreras took batting practice on the field before Tuesday's game against the Angels as the latest step in his recovery from a left hamstring strain. He'd been a candidate to return from the injured list for Friday's series opener against the Royals, but the Sox will instead have him play in a few tune-up games before adding him back to the active roster.
