Bazzana went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and was caught stealing in Sunday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Tigers.

Bazzana hit the second of back-to-back doubles in the first inning to knock in the Guardians' first run. He later singled in the eighth inning to give him a third straight two-hit game. Bazzana is 6-for-15 with two doubles, a home run and five RBI in six September contests.

Rocchio went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 3-2 extra-inning win over Detroit.

Rocchio's solo shot in the fifth inning tied the game and set up the eventual extra inning. He's homered three times in the last four games. Rocchio's experienced a noticeable drop-off in the second half, posting a .548 OPS since the All-Star break, but his 13-homer, 18-steal season overall has been helpful for fantasy managers.

The Twins optioned Acton to Triple-A St. Paul on Monday.

Acton was knocked around for four runs while notching just one out in Sunday's loss to the White Sox, and he finds himself back in the minors a day later. He's clearing off the active roster to make space for the return of Joe Ryan (glute).

The Twins activated Ryan (glute) from the 15-day injured list Monday.

After missing the past month with a left glute strain, Ryan will make his return to the Twins' rotation with a start Monday in Detroit. The right-hander threw only 42 pitches in his lone rehab start, so his workload will be truncated against the Tigers. Connor Prielipp is a possibility to eat some innings out of the Minnesota bullpen after Ryan is done Monday.

Greene went 2-for-4 with two doubles and two RBI in Sunday's 3-2, 10-inning loss to the Guardians.

Greene couldn't quite match the two home runs he recorded Saturday, though he still had another strong performance. The outfielder just returned from the injured list Tuesday after missing a few weeks with a hamstring strain. After recording only two hits and two RBI total in his first three games back, Greene now has six hits and six RBI over his last two contests. It looks like he's settling back into an offensive groove, though with the Tigers sitting at 65-78, the 25-year-old star may get some rest down the stretch as Detroit turns its attention to 2027.

Smth (3-1) didn't allow a baserunner across three innings while striking out four to earn the win Sunday against the Twins.

The White Sox threw a bullpen game, but Smith recorded the most outs of any of the five pitchers used. Fourteen of his 35 pitches went for either called or swinging strikes, and he continues to excel out of the bullpen in his first taste of the majors. Overall, Smith has allowed only one earned run across 16 innings and has maintained a 23:10 K:BB. He has also shown improved control lately, walking only four across his last 11.1 frames.

Finnegan (3-1) allowed an unearned run on two hits without recording an out to take the loss in Sunday's 3-2 defeat to the Guardians in 10 innings.

Finnegan was tasked with navigating the bottom of the 10th inning in a 2-2 game, but he allowed two quick singles on five pitches to allow the automatic runner to score from second and take his first loss of the season. While he wasn't charged with any earned runs Sunday, the righty still continued his recent struggles, as he's sitting with an 8.76 ERA across his last 15 appearances to go along with two blown saves and a loss on his ledger. Overall, Finnegan has been better with a 3.86 ERA in 58.1 innings this season, though his 1.61 WHIP would easily be a new career worst.

Flaherty (forearm) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Sunday, striking out two while yielding one hit and one walk over 1.1 scoreless innings.

Making his first appearance in seven weeks, Flaherty threw only 19 pitches in the outing, so he's not close to being fully stretched out. The veteran right-hander has been sidelined since late July due to right forearm flexor inflammation.

Teel went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run Sunday against Minnesota.

Teel officially made the game a blowout with a three-run home run to straightaway center field in the eighth inning, giving the White Sox a 10-1 lead. This was the backstop's first long ball since July 5 after a high-ankle sprain landed him on the IL just after the All-Star break. Teel now has three homers on the year and increased his batting average to .181 after ending last season with a .273/.375/.411 slash line and eight homers in 78 games during his MLB debut.

Peters went 3-for-5 with two doubles, an RBI and three runs scored during Sunday's 10-1 win over the Twins.

Peters has doubles in back-to-back games as he shows some power for the first time since the end of August, when he hit homers in five straight games. The 26-year-old is batting .400 (8-for-20) in September with a stolen base and an RBI. On the season, Peters is slashing .285/.348/.474 with 12 home runs, 53 RBI, and eight stolen bases over 138 games in an impressive rookie season for the former Savannah Banana.
