  • Alec Gamboa RP | BOS

    Red Sox's Alec Gamboa: Promotion coming

    The Red Sox are expected to recall Gamboa from Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    Gamboa has fired 1.2 scoreless frames across his two MLB appearances this season, and he's given up just two runs in 10 Triple-A innings since the beginning of June. He'll provide Boston's bullpen with a fresh arm and will likely be limited to low-leverage work with the Red Sox.

  • Cam Schlittler SP | NYY

    Yankees' Cam Schlittler: Coughs up four homers in loss

    Schlittler (8-5) took the loss against the Tigers on Tuesday, allowing six runs on seven hits and one walk with five strikeouts over four innings.

    Schlittler surrendered a career-high four homers, one of which was almost robbed by Spencer Jones, in his shortest start of the campaign. The outing marked just the second time this season the 25-year-old allowed four earned runs or more, and he'll still finish June with a 3.38 ERA over six starts. He owns a 2.08 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 123:21 K:BB across 104 innings overall and will look to rebound in a road matchup with the Rays next week.

  • Braydon Fisher RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Braydon Fisher: Opening Wednesday's contest

    Fisher will serve as Toronto's opening pitcher during Wednesday's game against the Mets, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Fisher has been successful while working as an opener this season, striking out seven batters and walking four while tossing 5.2 scoreless innings across his five starts. He'll now draw his sixth opening assignment and is likely to exit the game after pitching an inning or two. Spencer Miles and Patrick Corbin will both be available out of the bullpen to cover multiple innings once Fisher's day is done.

  • James Outman CF | DET

    Tigers' James Outman: Goes deep again Tuesday

    Outman went 1-for-3 with a walk and a three-run home run in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Yankees.

    Outman hit one of five Detroit home runs on the night, and it continued a decent power display with his new team. The outfielder had no long balls and a lowly .479 OPS across 49 games with the Twins earlier in the season. Since joining the Tigers in mid-June, Outman has gone deep three times and posted a.779 OPS in 15 contests. The 29-year-old is still hard to fully trust in fantasy, but at least his bat is showing some signs of life.

  • Devin Williams RP | NYM

    Mets' Devin Williams: Collects 12th save

    Williams earned the save in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Blue Jays, allowing one hit without recording a walk or strikeout in a scoreless ninth inning.

    Williams was summoned to finish a team shutout for the Mets and worked around a two-out single to do so. It capped a strong June for the 31-year-old, who yielded just one earned run over nine outings while converting all four of his save chances. For the year, he's 12-for-13 in save opportunities with a 4.13 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 41:16 K:BB across 28.1 innings.

  • Kevin Gausman SP | CHC

    Blue Jays' Kevin Gausman: Posts quality start in loss

    Gausman (4-7) took the loss against the Mets on Tuesday, allowing one run on five hits and two walks with seven strikeouts over six innings.

    Gausman suffered his third straight loss despite giving up just one run in the fifth inning. He generated 14 whiffs on 96 pitches but also surrendered 11 hard-hit balls, seven of which resulted in outs. It was still a much-needed rebound for the veteran, who had yielded 13 earned runs over his previous two starts. He'll take a 4.19 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 100:24 K:BB across 101 innings this season into a road matchup with the Giants next week.

  • Tigers' Kerry Carpenter: Connects for 13th home run

    Carpenter went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Yankees.

    Carpenter took tough New York righty Cam Schlittler deep in the first inning. The outfielder didn't do much after that, though it was enough to extend his hitting streak to five games, and he's gone deep three times during the hot stretch. Overall, Carpenter has 13 home runs, 36 RBI and an .810 OPS across 63 contests this season, with almost all of his damage coming against righties.

  • Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Lifts off Tuesday

    Torkelson went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Yankees.

    Riley Greene stole the show with two home runs Tuesday evening at Yankee Stadium, but Torkelson also managed to extend his strong recent stretch of play. Over his last 10 games, the Detroit first baseman is batting .324 with two long balls and eight RBI. On the season, Torkelson now has 14 home runs and 37 RBI across 85 contests.

  • Nolan McLean SP | NYM

    Mets' Nolan McLean: Tosses six scoreless in win

    McLean (5-5) earned the win against the Blue Jays on Tuesday, allowing five hits and two walks while striking out seven over six scoreless innings.

    McLean cruised through six frames, generating 11 swinging strikes on 91 pitches and limiting Toronto to only three hard-hit balls. It marked the second time this season the 24-year-old did not allow an earned run, an encouraging rebound after he yielded six earned runs in his previous outing Wednesday. He'll carry a 3.78 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 113:36 K:BB across 95.1 innings into a road matchup with Atlanta next week.

  • Riley Greene LF | DET

    Tigers' Riley Greene: Blasts off twice in win

    Greene went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Yankees.

    Greene received the day off Monday, which was his first lineup absence since April 17, and he returned with a bang Tuesday. The talented outfielder delivered his first multi-homer game of the season, and he's now up to 11 long balls overall, with seven of them coming in 25 games this month. Greene is also now sporting a .288 batting average and .828 OPS, both of which would be career bests.
