Quintana did not factor into Sunday's decision against the Reds, allowing one run on five hits and one walk while striking out four across 6.1 innings.

Despite yielding just one run on a Jose Trevino sacrifice fly in the seventh inning, Quintana was on the hook for the loss until William Contreras blasted a two-run homer in the ninth. Quintana has logged three straight quality starts and is up to eight on the season. He has a 3.41 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 25:6 K:BB in 34.1 innings across his six starts since the All-Star break. Quintana is lined up to face the Giants at home next weekend.

Adell went 3-for-5 with a homer, a double, four RBI and three runs scored in Sunday's 11-5 extra-inning victory over the Athletics.

The Angels outfielder opened the contest's scoring with a 395-foot, three-run blast off Athletics starter Jeffrey Springs in the first. Adell also plated the first run of the 10th with a single to break a 5-5 tie. Despite a ghastly .192 (11-for-57) batting average and 1:17 BB:K in August, the 26-year-old has still been valuable because he's notched six homers and 15 RBI across 15 games. Through 438 total plate appearances, Adell is slashing .228/.291/.466 with 26 long balls, 76 RBI and 47 runs scored.

Contreras went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Sunday's 3-2 extra-inning loss to Cincinnati.

The Brewers were kept off the board until the ninth inning, when Contreras took the first pitch he saw from Emilio Pagan deep to left field to give Milwaukee the lead. Contreras is in the midst of an eight-game hitting streak -- including five multi-hit games -- and over that span he has gone 14-for-32 (.438) with one steal, four home runs and 14 RBI. He has been red-hot at the plate since the All-Star break with a .956 OPS across 125 plate appearances.

The Red Sox are expected to recall Eaton from Triple-A Worcester prior to Monday's game against the Orioles, Andrew Parker of Beyond the Monster reports.

Boston won't announce the roster move until Monday, but the Wilyer Abreu (calf) could be a candidate to go on the injured list in a corresponding transaction. Eaton has previously seen action in 14 games with Boston this season, slashing .250/.296/.333 with three stolen bases over 27 plate appearances.

Soriano did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 11-5 extra-inning win against the Athletics. He allowed five runs on eight hits and one walk over 5.2 innings with five strikeouts.

The Los Angeles right-hander coughed up a season-worst three long balls, as he was saddled with five or more runs for the eighth time in 26 starts. Soriano fired 102 total pitches but managed to generate only 10 whiffs while notching five or more Ks for the fifth time in his six post-All-Star break starts. Through 148.2 total frames, the 26-year-old now sports a 4.00 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 130:64 K:BB. Soriano is currently scheduled to make his next appearance at home against the Cubs next weekend.

Pagan blew his save opportunity against the Brewers on Sunday by yielding a walk and a two-run homer in one inning of work.

Pagan was brought out for the ninth inning to secure the Reds' one-run lead. Things started out poorly after he issued a four-pitch walk to Anthony Seigler, and things went from bad to worse two batters later, when Pagan's first pitch to William Contreras was smashed to left-center field to give the Brewers the lead. It was the second game in a row that Pagan has blown his save chance, and he has given up five runs (four earned) on three hits and five walks while striking out five across six innings since the beginning of August.

Springs did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 11-5 extra-inning loss to the Angels. He conceded five runs on eight hits and three walks over 4.2 innings with five strikeouts.

The Athletics southpaw was tagged for five or more runs for the sixth time this season in this 100-pitch outing. Springs gave up a three-run homer to Jo Adell in the first and then allowed the other two runs on a Christian Moore single in the fifth. Despite generating an astounding 18 whiffs, the 32-year-old struggled once again at home, where he now sports a 4.72 ERA across 66.2 frames (compared to a 3.80 mark in 73.1 road innings). Springs will carry a 4.24 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 114:44 K:BB into his next matchup, which is currently slated to come at Seattle next weekend.

Hays went 2-for-5 with a run, a double and an RBI single during Sunday's 3-2 extra-inning win over Milwaukee.

Hays walked it off for the Reds in the bottom of the 10th by smacking a groundball to left field, which brought TJ Friedl home and snapped the Brewers' 14-game winning streak. Sunday marked Hays' 19th multi-hit game of the season, and he has gone 6-for-20 (.300) with five runs and three RBI over his last five starts.

Fitzgerald went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 7-1 victory over the Rays.

The 27-year-old filled in for Casey Schmitt (forearm) at second base for the second consecutive contest and made the most of it. Fitzgerald cracked a 398-foot solo shot off Tampa Bay reliever Mason Englert in the seventh to go back-to-back with Drew Gilbert. After a breakout rookie campaign in 2024, Fitzgerald has struggled with a .220/.278/.335 slash line, four homers, nine steals, 19 runs scored and 14 RBI across 233 plate appearances this season. He should continue to play a starting role in San Francisco while Schmitt is out.

Trevino went 1-for-3 with a sacrifice fly and an RBI single in Sunday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Brewers.

Trevino brought home the first run of the game with a sac fly to right field in the seventh, and he came up clutch in the ninth with an RBI single to send the game to extra innings. He has logged a hit in four of his last six starts and has gone 6-for-23 (.261) with three runs and four RBI over that span. Trevino has seen a recent uptick in starts behind home plate with Tyler Stephenson idle in each of the Reds' last two games.
