    Athletics' Jack Perkins: Handed 11th loss

    Perkins (3-11) took the loss Tuesday, allowing four runs on seven hits and no walks over five-plus innings in a 4-2 defeat against Toronto. He struck out three.

    The right-hander was demoted to Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday but was quickly recalled and ended up retaining his rotation spot due to J.T. Ginn's (elbow) move to the injured list. Perkins limited Toronto to two runs through five frames, but he returned for the sixth and allowed the first two batters to reach before being pulled, with both of them coming around to score. Despite the lackluster result, it's notable that the 26-year-old didn't issue any free passes given that he issued at least four walks in each of his previous three outings. Assuming Perkins and his 6.50 ERA though 98.1 innings stick in the rotation, he tentatively lines up to face the Rays on the road next week.

  • Spencer Miles RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Spencer Miles: Notches second save

    Miles picked up the save Tuesday against the A's, striking out three over two perfect innings.

    Blue Jays closer Louis Varland threw 24 pitches in Monday's series opener, so it was Miles that stayed in for the ninth inning Tuesday after firing a clean eighth. It's the second save of the season for the rookie right-hander, who has made 45 appearances (six starts) this year and has excelled as a versatile arm with a 2.77 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 81:21 K:BB over 87.2 innings. Miles hasn't given up a run in his past 12 outings and has allowed just seven hits and one walk during that span.

  • Jose Soriano SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Jose Soriano: Picks up 12th victory

    Soriano (12-7) earned the win Tuesday, allowing two runs on six hits and one walk over seven innings against the Athletics. He struck out three.

    The right-hander certainly wasn't at his most dominant Tuesday while generating just four swinging strikes and serving up two homers, but those two solo shots were the only runs he allowed. Soriano has struck out three or fewer batters in four of his seven starts since being acquired by Toronto, though his overall numbers since the trade are decent with a 4.05 ERA and 1.38 WHIP across 40 innings.

  • David Bednar RP | NYY

    Yankees' David Bednar: Earns one-out save Tuesday

    Bednar earned the save in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Rockies, striking out the only batter he faced in the ninth inning.

    Tim Hill was initially brought out for the ninth inning to protect a 5-1 lead, but he has removed from the game after giving up a two-run home run to Hunter Goodman. That prompted the Yankees to turn to Bednar, who successfully closed things out by striking out Mickey Moniak on three pitches. It was Bednar's first save since Aug. 28 and 32nd of the season, which is seventh most in the majors. He has a 2.63 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 70:18 K:BB over 61.2 innings in 2026.

  • Leo De Vries SS | ATH

    Athletics' Leo De Vries: Slated for surgery

    De Vries will undergo surgery to repair an anterior labrum tear in his right shoulder, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    De Vries is expected to require eight months to recover following his procedure, which will officially put an early end to his season and rule him out for the early portion of the 2027 campaign as well. The 19-year-old infield prospect will close the book on 2026 after slashing .287/.376/.453 with 13 homers, 55 RBI, 64 runs scored and 34 steals across 431 plate appearances at Double-A Midland.

  • Heliot Ramos LF | NYY

    Yankees' Heliot Ramos: Crucial homer Tuesday

    Ramos went 1-for-1 with a three-run homer during Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Rockies.

    Ramos was not in the Yankees' starting lineup Tuesday, but he was brought in for the seventh inning to take over for Aaron Judge in right field. Ramos answered the call at the plate, crushing a three-run home run in the eighth to give the Yankees a 5-1 lead before the Rockies scored two runs in the ninth. Even with Judge back from the IL, Ramos should still see some playing time in the outfield while the former is eased back following a more than three-month absence.

  • Cam Schlittler SP | NYY

    Yankees' Cam Schlittler: Punches out 10 in dominant win

    Schlittler (13-6) came away with the win Tuesday against the Rockies, allowing one run on three hits while striking out 10 across seven innings. He did not issue a walk.

    The only blemish on Schlitter's line was a solo home run by Adael Amador in the third inning, but it was an otherwise spectacular outing for the American League Cy Young candidate. It was the fourth time this season (and third since the All-Star break) that Schlitter logged double-digit strikeouts, and he's allowed one run or zero in eight of his last nine starts. Among qualified starters this season, the Yankees right-hander ranks second in ERA (2.01), fourth in both WHIP (0.92) and opposing average (.189) and fifth in strikeouts (220) over 178.2 innings. Schlittler's next start is tentatively slated for this weekend at home against the Mets.

  • Red Sox's Patrick Sandoval: Yields 10 hits to Halos in loss

    Sandoval (1-5) took the loss against the Angels on Tuesday, allowing four runs on 10 hits and two walks while striking out seven across six innings.

    It was Sandoval's first career start against the Angels, with whom he spent six seasons from 2019 to 2024. He didn't have his best stuff Tuesday, giving up at least one run in three of his six frames, and the 10 hits he allowed were his most in a start since May 12, 2024 against the Royals (11). Sandoval has taken the loss in five of his last six outings and sports a 4.58 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 57:27 K:BB over 55 innings this season. He's tentatively slated to start next week on the road against the Rangers.

  • Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Managing thumb injury

    Chisholm was removed from Tuesday's game against the Rockies due to a thumb injury, Chelsea Janes of SNY.tv reports.

    Chisholm injured his thumb while sliding into second base during the top of the ninth, and he was removed from the game in the bottom of the inning. Manager Aaron Boone said the 28-year-old's thumb was still feeling numb after the game, so the team will wait to see how he feels Wednesday before determining his availability. Jose Caballero would presumably pick up starts at second base if Chisholm is unable to play.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Logs four hits at Fenway Park

    Neto went 4-for-5 with a double and a two-run home run during the Angels' 6-1 win over the Red Sox on Tuesday.

    Neto's four hits Tuesday were his second most of the season, and he capped off his night with a two-run home run over the Green Monster to give the Angels a five-run lead. The 25-year-old shortstop has had his ups and downs this season but is enjoying a productive season overall. Neto has a .242/.321/.436 slash line with 19 steals (in 30 attempts), 24 home runs and 69 RBI over 626 plate appearances this year.
