Young allowed one run on five hits and five walks while striking out six batters over five innings in a no-decision against the Mets on Monday.

Young struggled with his control, throwing just 59 of 106 pitches for strikes and issuing a season-high five free passes. However, none of the batters he walked came around to score, as the only run he gave up came on an A.J. Ewing solo homer. Young's wildness did prevent him from going deep into the game, but this performance was a vast improvement over the six-run, 3.2-inning dud he posted in his previous start. The right-hander is projected to next take the mound at home against Milwaukee.

Okamoto went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Monday in a loss to Detroit.

Okamoto's long ball was a big one, as his three-run blast in the seventh inning turned a two-run Toronto deficit into a one-run lead. However, the Tigers put up runs in the eighth and ninth frames to emerge with the victory. Okamoto has been wielding a powerful bat of late, going deep in five of his past seven games. Monday's long ball was his first that wasn't a solo homer during that span, but he's batting a robust .348 (8-for-23) during the power surge. The rookie third baseman is up to 33 homers on the campaign, ranking 10th in the majors.

Varland (5-6) was charged with the blown save and the loss Monday against the Tigers, allowing one run on two hits and one walk while striking out two batters over 1.2 innings.

Varland got the call with one out in the eighth inning after Detroit put two runners on base. The All-Star closer struck out Dillon Dingler to put himself in position to escape the jam, but Brett Callahan followed with an RBI single to tie the score. Varland then managed to get the third out, but he yielded the go-ahead run in the ninth and ultimately took the loss. The blown save was just the second of the season in 35 attempts for Varland, who had converted nine consecutive saves while allowing just one earned run over 14.2 innings across his previous 14 appearances. He still has an outstanding 1.32 overall ERA this season and is in no danger of losing his closer role.

Soriano allowed four runs on five hits and one walk while striking out five batters over 6.1 innings in a no-decision against Detroit on Monday.

Soriano was stellar through six scoreless and hitless frames during which he allowed only one baserunner (on a walk). However, he fell apart in the seventh, surrendering five hits -- including two doubles -- while notching just one out as the Tigers put up four runs. That final disastrous frame prevented Soriano from notching a second straight quality start, but he was spared a loss when the Blue Jays posted three runs in the bottom of the inning. The right-hander did manage to complete six innings for the third time over his past four starts after doing so just once across his initial four appearances with Toronto. Soriano will carry a 3.56 ERA into his next start, which is lined up to be a road game against the Rangers.

Siri went 3-for-4 with a double, two RBI, two runs scored and a steal in Monday's 6-4 win over the Mariners.

Siri started the scoring with an RBI double in the first inning and added a pair of singles afterward, including an RBI knock in the third. The outfielder has been productive of late, slashing .368/.400/.632 with a homer, five RBI, three runs and a stolen base over his past seven games. On the year, the 31-year-old is hitting .234/.290/.406 with eight homers, 28 RBI, 32 runs and seven stolen bases in 96 contests.

Crawford went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Angels.

Crawford launched a solo shot to right field in the seventh inning to cut the Mariners' deficit to 6-4. The veteran infielder has now homered in two of the past three games after going 50 contests without a long ball. In 106 games this season, he's hitting .226/.345/.355 with 12 homers, 37 RBI, 46 runs and a stolen base.

Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Angels.

Raleigh clobbered a three-run homer off Reid Detmers in the fourth inning to get the Mariners on the board. The catcher is slashing .255/.352/.468 with two homers, nine RBI and 11 runs in 12 September contests. It's been an incredibly disappointing 2026 campaign for Raleigh, as he's hitting .181/.294/.371 with 22 homers, 63 RBI, 46 runs and two stolen bases across 116 games.

Joyce picked up the save Monday against the Mariners. He allowed no hits and two walks with no strikeouts over a scoreless inning.

Joyce was wild, throwing just nine of 20 pitches for strikes, but he was able to retire the side with no damage done to secure his fifth save of the season. Walks notwithstanding, this was a nice rebound for the hard-throwing right-hander, as he took a blown save Saturday and allowed a run in both of his previous two outings. Joyce has emerged as the top ninth-inning option for the Angels, posting a 3.38 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 15:9 K:BB in 13.1 frames.

Anderson (1-2) took the loss Monday, allowing five runs on seven hits and no walks over 4.1 innings against the Angels. He struck out five.

After looking good in his first big-league win Wednesday, Anderson wasn't able to replicate that performance in Anaheim, being charged with five runs and exiting at 72 pitches (50 strikes). The southpaw's dominance in the minors has yet to translate to the big-league level, as he owns a 5.33 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 21:8 K:BB through 25.1 innings (five starts). Anderson is lined up to make his next start in Colorado over the weekend.

Detmers (6-8) earned the win Monday, allowing three runs on seven hits and a walk over six innings against the Mariners. He struck out eight.

Detmers was tagged for a three-run homer in the fourth inning courtesy of Cal Raleigh, but he still churned out a quality start and picked up his second straight win. The southpaw has been brilliant in the second half, posting a 1.65 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 76:11 K:BB across 65.1 innings (11 starts) since the All-Star break. On the year, Detmers owns a 3.36 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 199:46 K:BB in 174 innings (30 starts), and he is tentatively scheduled to pitch Saturday against the Twins.
