Miles will serve as the Blue Jays' opening pitcher for Tuesday's contest in Cleveland, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

He's expected to be followed by Spencer Arrighetti in bulk relief. Miles has been on a roll lately, logging nine straight scoreless appearances with a 6:1 K:BB over 8.2 innings.

Abreu picked up the save in Monday's 6-3 win over the White Sox. He allowed no hits and a walk while striking out two over a scoreless inning.

With Josh Hader potentially unavailable after being used in three of the past four games, Abreu got the ball in the ninth inning and secured his eighth save without issue. As the Astros' top right-handed relief option, Abreu owns a 3.93 ERA, 1.42 WHIP, 68:39 K:BB and 12 holds over 52.2 frames in 2026.

Kittredge notched a save against the Rockies on Monday, allowing one hit and striking out one batter over one scoreless inning.

In an usually low-scoring affair at Coors Field, Kittredge entered in the ninth frame with Baltimore clinging to a 2-1 lead. The Rockies put the tying run in scoring position on a one-out double, but Kittredge then retired the next two batters -- with a huge hand from Colton Cowser, who reached above the outfield wall to rob Jake McCarthy of what would have been a walk-off homer -- to notch his ninth save. Five of those saves came in August, when the righty reliever allowed just three earned runs over 12.2 frames while posting an 8:2 K:BB and adding three holds along with two victories. Kittredge finished the month with three saves over the final six days, so he seems to be strengthening his hold on the Orioles' closer role.

Seymour (9-6) took the loss Monday against the Mets, allowing three runs on six hits while striking out 10 without issuing a walk over 6.1 innings.

Seymour generated 19 whiffs on 52 swings while recording his second double-digit strikeout performance of the season. He notched seven of his 10 strikeouts over the first three innings, including coming one pitch away from an immaculate inning in the first. Seymour surrendered a solo homer to Mark Vientos in the seventh before exiting and watching another score from the dugout. He has now delivered a quality start in five of his last eight outings. Despite losing three straight starts, allowing 10 runs (nine earned) across 17 innings, he's racked up 23 strikeouts during that span. Seymour owns a 4.21 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 138:32 K:BB across 113.1 innings heading into his next scheduled start against the Rangers.

Munoz blew the save Monday against Boston, allowing one run on one hit and no walks in 1.1 innings. He struck out three.

It was a rare instance where Munoz was tasked with recording more than three outs, and he took his fourth blown save in his last 10 outings and ninth of the season. The hard-throwing right-hander endured a rough month of August, posting a 5.56 ERA with five saves in nine chances covering 11 appearances, so he's certainly testing Seattle's trust with him in its closer role.

Acton is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Saint Paul on Tuesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

This move won't become official until rosters expand Tuesday. Acton fared well in his previous stint with the Twins earlier in the season, allowing two runs on four hits while walking three and striking out nine over 6.2 frames out of the bullpen before landing on the injured list April 28 due to a right shoulder strain.

Woods Richardson was sent outright to Triple-A Buffalo on Monday.

Woods Richardson lost his spot on the 40-man roster Friday, and he'll remain with the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. Woods Richardson owns a 6.68 ERA and 1.76 WHIP with 40 strikeouts across 66.0 innings this season with the Blue Jays.

Morris will serve as the Twins' opening pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Tigers, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Morris is set to serve as the opener for the third time this season. He last started June 4, when he allowed two runs on five hits and one walk while striking out two over two innings against the Royals. Connor Prielipp is a candidate to follow Morris as the primary pitcher out of the bullpen.

Basso will be deployed as the Athletics' opening pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Rangers, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Tuesday will mark the fourth time that Basso has served as an opener. He struggled in his last opportunity Aug. 23 against Houston, surrendering three runs on four hits over one inning.

Hernandez will have his contract selected from Triple-A Columbus ahead of Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays, Guardians Prospective reports.

Hernandez has been decent at Triple-A since being activated from the 60-day injured list near the end of July, though one blowup outing against Saint Paul on Aug. 20 has inflated his ERA to 5.40 over 13.1 innings (12 appearances). He'll be called on to provide bullpen support for the Guardians once rosters expand Tuesday.
