Jose Soriano SP | TOR
Blue Jays' Jose Soriano: Folds in seventh inning
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.

Jack Ralston RP | MIA
Marlins' Jack Ralston: Tagged with blown save
Ralston (0-1) was charged with a blown save and the loss Monday against the Diamondbacks. He allowed one run on a hit with no walks or strikeouts over one-third of an inning.
After Pete Fairbanks exited with an apparent injury after facing just one batter, Ralston was unexpectedly thrust into action in the ninth inning and faltered, surrendering a walk-off two-run homer to Corbin Carroll. Monday marked Ralston's first big-league save opportunity. Since making his debut Aug. 23, the right-hander has posted a 4.22 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 9:5 K:BB across 10.2 frames. Fairbanks' injury could open the door for other Marlins relievers to receive looks at closer, though Calvin Faucher and Michael Petersen are much more likely than Ralston to factor into the ninth-inning mix.

Sandy Alcantara SP | MIA
Marlins' Sandy Alcantara: Allows four runs in no-decision
Alcantara did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing four runs on seven hits, two walks and a hit-by-pitch over five innings against Arizona. He struck out six.
Alcantara was hampered by a three-run third inning that included a two-run homer from Lars Nootbaar. The veteran hurler has allowed four-plus runs in four straight starts and hasn't earned a win since Aug. 8. With a 13-10 record, 3.86 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 149:57 K:BB over 205 innings (32 starts), Alcantara is tentatively scheduled to pitch Sunday at San Diego.

Corbin Burnes SP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Corbin Burnes: Allows five runs in no-decision
Burnes did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing five runs on five hits and no walks over 4.2 innings against the Marlins. He struck out four.
Burnes wasn't particularly effective, notably surrendering back-to-back homers in the fourth inning. It was a step back for the right-hander, as he twirled three shutout innings in his season debut last week against the Royals after completing his recovery from Tommy John surgery and a teres major strain. Burnes built up to 75 pitches (48 strikes) in his home debut Monday. The 31-year-old's next start is tentatively scheduled for Sunday against the Yankees.

Angels' Jose Siri: Tallies three hits in win
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.

J.P. Crawford SS | SEA
Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Goes yard in loss
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.

Cal Raleigh C | SEA
Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Clubs three-run homer in loss
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.

Ben Joyce RP | LAA
Angels' Ben Joyce: Pockets fifth save
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.

Kade Anderson SP | SEA
Mariners' Kade Anderson: Stumbles in second loss
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.

Reid Detmers SP | LAA
Angels' Reid Detmers: Collects sixth win
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.
