  • Mike Soroka SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Michael Soroka: Returning from IL on Wednesday

    The Diamondbacks will reinstate Soroka (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list and have pitch Wednesday against the Royals in Kansas City, Jody Jackson of DBacks.tv reports.

    Soroka will return to Arizona's pitching staff after a near-minimum-length stay on the IL due to right shoulder inflammation. The 29-year-old built up to four innings and 59 pitches during a simulated game Friday, so because he's not completely stretched out, the Diamondbacks will have Soroka work in a piggyback arrangement with Zac Gallen (elbow), who will start Wednesday but will be in line for an abbreviated outing as he also returns from the IL. Soroka could resume working as a traditional starter for Arizona following Wednesday's outing.

  • David Peterson SP | CHC

    Cubs' David Peterson: Allows one run in no-decision

    Peterson allowed one run on six hits across 4.1 innings and did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's 4-3, 10-inning loss to the Brewers. He walked three and struck out four.

    Peterson did well in limiting a talented Milwaukee lineup to just one run, but he certainly dealt with plenty of baserunners, which explains why he was pulled after 4.1 innings and 83 pitches. It was still a bounceback effort for the lefty, who was tagged for six runs in just 3.2 innings his last time out against these same Brewers. Peterson will now carry a 5.28 ERA into his next scheduled start Monday against Atlanta, which projects as a very tough matchup for the starter and one that might best be avoided for fantasy purposes.

  • Lake Bachar SP | PIT

    Pirates' Lake Bachar: Starting bullpen game Wednesday

    Bachar will start Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Dominic Campbell of SI.com reports.

    Pittsburgh is going to rely on its bullpen to get through Wednesday's contest, and Bachar will begin the game on the mound for what will be his ninth start of the season. The 31-year-old righty has tossed at least two innings in eight of his 11 appearances since the beginning of August, so he'll likely be called upon to provide more length than the typical opening pitcher.

  • Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Smacks late homer Tuesday

    Goodman went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Yankees.

    The Rockies' bats were held in check by Yankees ace Cam Schlittler, but Goodman reduced the deficit to two runs by taking Tim Hill deep for a two-run homer in the ninth inning. It was Goodman's first home run since Aug. 26 and 37th of the season, tied with Matt Olson for fifth in the majors. Goodman has an .848 OPS with five steals, 78 RBI and 56 extra-base hits over 513 plate appearances this season.

  • 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.

  • Gabriel Hughes SP | COL

    Rockies' Gabriel Hughes: Still winless in 2026

    Hughes (0-7) took the loss against the Yankees on Tuesday, allowing two runs (one earned) on four hits while striking out six across five innings. He did not issue a walk.

    It was a bit of a tough-luck loss for Hughes, especially with the Yankees scoring an unearned run in the first inning due to fielding and throwing errors by Jake McCarthy. Hughes kept the Yankees off the board over the next three innings before yielding a run in the fifth, and although the Rockies scored two late runs in the ninth, it wasn't enough for the 25-year-old right-hander to avoid the loss. He's allowed one earned run in each of his last two starts and has a 5.81 ERA and 1.38 WHIP over 57.1 innings since making his major-league debut July 3. Hughes will look to secure his first big-league win in his next start, tentatively slated for this weekend on the road against the Tigers.

  • Heliot Ramos RF | 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.
