Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Solid start in win
DeGrom (11-9) picked up the win over Boston on Tuesday, allowing two runs on three hits and one walk over five innings. He struck out eight.
DeGrom fanned at least seven batters for the fourth consecutive start by recording eight strikeouts Tuesday. The right-hander made just one mistake, giving up a two-run homer to Nick Sogard in the third inning. Despite the homer, the right-hander has yielded just four runs over his last four starts. This year, the 38-year-old owns a 3.79 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 194:39 K:BB over 154.1 innings. DeGrom is slated to make his next start Sunday against Toronto.

Padres' Walker Buehler: Labors again Tuesday
Buehler allowed two runs on seven hits, one walk and one hit batsman while striking out one over 4.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Rockies on Tuesday.
That's four straight no-decisions for Buehler, who has given up eight runs over 17 innings in that stretch. While he's not pitching poorly, he has been tagged for five home runs in that span. He's also up to 143.1 innings in the majors this year, his most in any campaign since 2021. He's posted a 4.58 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 122:54 K:BB across 30 starts in 2026. Buehler is projected to make his next start at home versus the Marlins over the weekend.

Troy Johnston RF | COL
Rockies' Troy Johnston: Records three knocks
Johnston went 3-for-3 with two doubles, two RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Padres.
This was Johnston's first multi-hit effort since Aug. 26 versus the Nationals. He's had trouble getting consistent at-bats in the second half, as he's hitting just .243 (25-for-103) over 35 games since the All-Star break. Overall, he's batting .285 with a .759 OPS, four home runs, 50 RBI, 40 runs scored, 31 doubles, one triple and four stolen bases across 428 plate appearances.

Cole Carrigg CF | COL
Rockies' Cole Carrigg: Muscles up in win
Carrigg went 4-for-5 with two home runs, a double and five RBI in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Padres.
Carrigg had a two-run blast in the third inning and boosted the Rockies' lead with a three-run homer in the sixth. The rookie is up to 10 homers on the season, including four over 13 contests in September. He's batting .270 with an .812 OPS, 45 RBI, 45 runs scored, 21 doubles, four triples and nine stolen bases through 82 games this season.

Ryan Feltner SP | COL
Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Works in bulk relief
Feltner (6-10) allowed three hits and a walk while striking out five over five scoreless innings of relief to earn the win over the Padres on Tuesday.
Feltner stayed on normal rest for this appearance out of the bullpen, having last pitched Thursday versus the Yankees. He had lost his last five outings as a starter, posting a 6.93 ERA over 24.2 innings in that span. The right-hander is at a 5.63 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 88:50 K:BB through 116.2 innings over 24 games (22 starts) this season. While the Rockies' pitching plans are in flux going forward, Feltner's success in bulk relief could put him in a position to piggyback Kyle Freeland again as the latter ends the year on a limited workload due to a recent stint on the injured list.
-
Kyle Freeland SP | COL
Rockies' Kyle Freeland: Works four innings in return
Freeland allowed three runs on eight hits and struck out one without walking a batter over four-plus innings in a no-decision versus the Padres on Tuesday.
Freeland returned from a stint on the injured list due to cervical radiculopathy and threw 50 pitches (36 strikes). All three runs he gave up came on solo home runs. Ryan Feltner covered the last five innings, and with Freeland not at a full workload, a piggyback arrangement could be in store for his next turn through the rotation. Freeland has a 6.38 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 104:28 K:BB through 128.1 innings over 24 starts this season.

Bradley Hanner RP | NYY
Yankees' Bradley Hanner: Optioned to Triple-A
The Yankees optioned Hanner to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after Tuesday's game against the Twins.
Hanner gave up four earned runs in just 1.1 innings during his lone outing after coming up from the minors Friday, and he'll now move back to Triple-A in preparation for Clarke Schmidt's (elbow) return from the injured list Wednesday. Hanner boasts a 2.44 ERA across 55.1 innings at Triple-A this season but has allowed seven earned runs in 5.1 frames with the Yankees.

Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI
Diamondbacks' Nolan Arenado: Pulled with thumb injury
Arenado was removed from Tuesday's game against the Marlins due to right thumb inflammation.
Arenado went 1-for-3 before his thumb forced him out of the game in the seventh inning. The severity of his injury remains unknown, but if the 35-year-old has to miss time beyond Tuesday, Ildemaro Vargas would likely be the next man up to start at the hot corner.

Braydon Fisher RP | TOR
Blue Jays' Braydon Fisher: Yields two walks as Tuesday's opener
Fisher allowed two walks while striking out one batter across 1.1 innings during the Blue Jays' 10-1 loss to the Tigers on Tuesday.
Fisher served as the Blue Jays' opener in Tuesday's bullpen game, and he was able to work his way out of back-to-back walks to start the first inning to keep the Tigers off the board. The 26-year-old right-hander has been a steady presence in Toronto's bullpen this season, sporting a 3.16 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, one save, 13 holds and a 73:40 K:BB over 74 innings.
