Lowe went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Tuesday's 5-4 win over the White Sox.

Lowe swatted a two-run home run off Yoendrys Gomez in the second inning, his second home run in three games. The long ball was Lowe's 11th of the campaign, surpassing his 2024 total of 10 homers. In his last 16 games, Lowe is 18-for-58 (.310) with four home runs, four doubles, four stolen bases and a 3:15 BB:K.

Halvorsen (elbow) has resumed throwing from 60 feet and is hoping to return from the injured list prior to the end of the season, MLB.com reports.

This marks Halvorsen's first notable progress since he was sidelined in early August with an elbow injury. He hopes to pitch in a game before the season is over, but Halvorsen is expected to be at full strength shortly after the campaign ends if he cannot return.

Meadows went 3-for-5 with a home run, two total runs scored and three RBI in Tuesday's 12-2 win over the Yankees.

Meadows hit his second home run in his last three games and fourth of the season in the fifth inning with a runner on against New York starter Will Warren. The outfielder added an RBI single in the seventh. While Meadows is slashing just .216/.291/.351 overall this season, he's been better lately with a .276/.364/.552 line across his last 10 contests, which date back to July due to him missing time with a strained right quad. The 25-year-old should continue to start regularly in center because of his strong defensive play, and increased production at the plate would be an added bonus.

Gomez allowed four runs on five hits and a walk while striking out five in five innings Tuesday against the Rays. He did not factor into the decision.

Three of the four runs against Gomez came via the long ball -- a two-run homer by Josh Lowe in the second and a solo shot by Richie Palacios in the fourth. It marks Gomez's first time in 18 appearances this season allowing multiple home runs. Gomez's strikeout numbers remain solid, as he has a 10.6 K/9 in his last four outings and he's issued only two walks in his last two starts after having some command and control issues to end August. Gomez lines up to complete a two-start week against the Guardians this weekend.

Fairbanks picked up the save Tuesday against the White Sox, throwing a perfect ninth inning. He did not record a strikekout.

Fairbanks snapped a streak of five consecutive outings allowing at least one hit. During that stretch, he surrendered four runs on nine hits, including three home runs, with eight strikeouts across five innings. Wednesday's save was Fairbanks' 25th of the campaign, tying his most saves in a season during his seven-year career. He has a 3.15 ERA in 54.1 innings this season.

Mize (14-5) allowed two runs on four hits across six innings of work to earn the win in Tuesday's 12-2 victory over the Yankees. He struck out eight.

Mize allowed a solo home run to Aaron Judge in the first inning and then allowed another solo shot to Cody Bellinger in the fourth, but that was all New York could muster against the righty, who cruised to the win with plenty of run support. After giving up five runs across just 3.1 innings in an Aug. 27 start, Mize has responded by allowing only three total runs in 11 innings over his last two appearances, earning the win both times. The righty will take a 3.83 ERA and 1.27 WHIP into his next outing, which is scheduled for Sunday against the Marlins on the road.

Teel went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Rays.

Teel opened up the scoring with a first-inning solo home run, his third home run over his last six games. He's been red hot in the second half and one of the most productive players at his position, slashing .313/.391/.515 with seven homers, 23 RBI, 22 runs, two steals and a 15:30 BB:K across 151 plate appearances.

Houser didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the White Sox, allowing three runs on four hits and no walks across 5.1 innings. He struck out nine.

Houser has now set a season high in strikeouts in back-to-back appearances, after previously not fanning more than six hitters in a start. The 32-year-old hasn't taken a loss in five outings, posting a 3.90 ERA and 29:6 K:BB across his last 27.2 innings. Houser is on track to face the Cubs on Sunday for his next start.

Crow-Armstrong went 1-for-2 with a walk, a run scored, two RBI and two stolen bases in Tuesday's 6-1 win over Atlanta.

Since sitting out two games last week to clear his head amid a slump, Crow-Armstrong has started to get going at the plate. Over his last four contests, the speedy outfielder has gone 4-for-11 with three runs scored, three stolen bases and four RBI. Crow-Armstrong did miss Sunday's contest with a bruised knee, but he was back as the DH on Monday and playing the field Tuesday, so it looks like a non-issue moving forward. The 23-year-old is now tied for sixth in the majors with 34 steals on the season, and Crow-Armstrong has added 28 home runs for good measure, putting him within striking distance of his first career 30-30 campaign.

Horton (10-4) allowed one run on four hits across 6.1 innings to earn the win Tuesday against Atlanta. He struck out two.

Other than the low strikeout total, it was another dazzling effort for Horton. The rookie hasn't allowed more than two earned runs in any of his last 10 starts, and he has a sparkling 0.84 ERA and 0.79 WHIP during that span. Horton leads all National League rookies with his 10 wins, and he's making a strong case for NL Rookie of the Year honors with a 2.70 ERA and 1.11 WHIP across 110 innings overall. The 23-year-old righty will look to keep rolling in his next outing, which is penciled in for Monday on the road against the Pirates, the team with the fewest runs scored in the majors.
