Bowlan exited Thursday's appearance against the Mets in the bottom of the eighth inning due to an apparent injury, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Bowlan showed some discomfort after he threw a two-strike fastball to outfielder Nick Morabito with one out in the bottom of the eighth frame. The nature of the injury isn't clear, but the-right-hander's status should be updated in the near future. Tim Mayza replaced Bowlan on the mound versus New York.

Young was carted off the field in the sixth inning of Thursday night's contest against the Phillies due to an apparent head injury, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Young suffered the injury during a scary collision with starting pitcher Nolan McLean while trying to field a groundball with two outs in the top of the sixth. A stretcher was utilized to move him off the field, though he encouragingly gave a thumbs up as he was carted off. Mark Vientos replaced Young at first base, and more information on the latter's status will likely be provided following the conclusion of Thursday's contest.

King (12-9) tallied the win Thursday against the Rockies, allowing two runs on seven hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out six.

King bookended his outing in shaky fashion, yielding one run in his first and final innings of work, but it was a strong start overall. The right-hander has been a model of consistency for both the Padres and fantasy managers alike, reeling off eight consecutive quality starts and 12 in his last 14 outings. He's set to bring a workmanlike 3.03 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 154:68 K:BB over 181 innings into his next and likely final appearance of the regular season against the Dodgers.

Gordon (1-5) took the loss Thursday against the Padres, allowing seven runs on 10 hits and two walks in three innings. He struck out three.

Gordon was throttled early in hitter-friendly Colorado, surrendering each of his seven runs in the second inning. The right-hander gave up double-digit hits for a second consecutive start, and he's now coughed up at least four runs while working fewer than five innings in three straight outings. He'll take a 6.01 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 84:20 K:BB over 100.1 frames into his next scheduled appearance at home versus Arizona, which will likely be his final start of 2026.

The Tigers placed Finnegan on the 15-day injured list Thursday, retroactive to Wednesday, with left groin inflammation.

Finnegan struggled in his last two outings Monday and Tuesday, giving up four earned runs on six hits with one strikeout across 1.1 frames in Toronto. The veteran right-hander will miss the rest of the regular season and has likely already thrown his last pitch of 2026 since Detroit's playoff hopes are hanging by a thread. In a corresponding move, the Tigers recalled Ty Madden from Triple-A Toledo.

The Tigers recalled Madden from Triple-A Toledo on Thursday.

With Kyle Finnegan (groin) moving to the injured list, the Tigers will turn to Madden to replenish their bullpen depth. The 26-year-old has actually been more effective with the big club this season (3.46 ERA, 1.08 WHIP) than he has been in the minors (4.44 ERA, 1.53 WHIP), though he isn't likely to receive many high-leverage opportunities down the stretch.

Williams (shoulder) threw a live batting practice Thursday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

The Mets will determine Friday if Williams is ready for activation. However, the right-hander may not serve in his usual role when he returns. It appears that the Mets will script the 31-year-old's appearances when he is back healthy, so it is not a guarantee he will be closing games.

Moore isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Twins, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Moore will get a day to reset after going 0-for-19 with eight strikeouts across his last five games. Oswald Peraza will take over at second base and bat seventh.

Grissom isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against Minnesota, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Grissom will take a day to regroup Thursday after slashing .176/.254/.333 across 14 games since the beginning of September. Moises Ballesteros will fill in at first base, allowing Tyler Heineman to start at catcher.

Jeffers is not in the lineup Thursday against the Angels.

Jeffers will rest in the series opener against the Angels after going 0-for-8 with a walk and four strikeouts versus the Yankees this week. While he sits, Victor Caratini will get the start behind the plate while batting seventh.
