White Sox's Carson Fulmer: Opens, loses Tuesday
Fulmer (1-2) was tagged with the loss as the opener Tuesday, allowing four runs on two hits and two walks while striking out one over one inning against the Indians.
Fulmer served up a first-inning grand slam to Jose Ramirez, who was logging his first at-bat since Aug. 24, and was pulled after 36 pitches. The White Sox were hoping to get another inning out of Fulmer. The right-hander hasn't pitched much since returning from the injured list, having made just six appearances in 24 days. He's in line to start or open this weekend against the Tigers.

Rangers' Ariel Jurado: Slapped with 11th loss
Jurado (7-11) took the loss Tuesday as the Rangers were downed 12-10 by the Red Sox, giving up four runs (three earned) on six hits over three innings of relief. He struck out one.
Edinson Volquez got tagged for four runs in the first inning as the opener, but Jurado didn't fare much better as the Rangers' primary pitcher for the night. The right-hander is likely done for the season, and he'll wrap up his second MLB campaign with a 5.81 ERA and 81:36 K:BB through 122.1 innings.

Angels' Hansel Robles: Picks up 23rd save
Robles picked up the save against the Athletics on Tuesday, giving up one hit in a scoreless ninth inning to close out a 3-2 victory for the Angels. He struck out one and walked none.
Tasked with protecting a one-run lead, Robles yielded a hit, but managed to work around it to close out Oakland and pick up his 23rd save of the season in 26 chances. The 29-year-old has put together a great year as the primary ninth-inning option for the Angels, posting a 2.26 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 73:16 K:BB across 71.2 innings.

Dillon Peters RP | PIT
Angels' Dillon Peters: Nabs fourth win
Peters (4-3) got the win against the Athletics on Tuesday, giving up two earned runs on five hits over five innings, striking out three and walking one in the Angels' 3-2 victory.
The 27-year-old gave up a two-run homer to Khris Davis in the fourth inning, but turned in a solid outing aside from that on his way to his fourth win of the year. The outing gives Peters a 4.72 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 53:24 K:BB in 2019. He's scheduled to make one more start before the end of the regular season, Sunday in a home matchup against the Astros.

Jonathan Loaisiga RP | ARI
Yankees' Jonathan Loaisiga: Starting Wednesday
Loaisiga will start Wednesday's game against the Rays, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.
Chad Green was slated to open Wednesday's game, but he was used in Tuesday's extra-innings affair. Loaisiga has thrown exactly two innings in each of his last three outings, and he will likely get around six outs Wednesday. J.A. Happ is a strong option to serve as the primary pitcher.

Taylor Rogers RP | MIN
Twins' Taylor Rogers: Grabs 29th save
Rogers struck out one without allowing a baserunner in the ninth inning to record the save Tuesday against the Tigers.
Rogers needed only 12 pitches to record his 29th save of the season. Three days after being tagged for three earned runs, Rogers bounced back to record his eighth scoreless effort in his last 10 appearances. For the season, he now owns a 2.65 ERA and 1.00 WHIP with 89 strikeouts across 68 innings.

Lou Trivino RP | PHI
Athletics' Lou Trivino: Done for season
Trivino has a cracked rib and will not return this season, Shayna Rubin of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Oblique and rib injuries that he suffered off the field will result in the end of Trivino's season. He finishes the year with a 5.25 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 57 strikeouts in 60 innings.

Blake Treinen RP | LAD
Athletics' Blake Treinen: Won't return in postseason
Treinen (back) will not pitch in any postseason games, Shayna Rubin of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
The issue is serious enough that the A's can already rule Treinen out for games that could take place weeks from now. However, given his struggles prior to the injury (4.91 ERA, 1.62 WHIP in 58.2 innings), this seems like a common sense move even if he were medically cleared.

Hector Santiago RP | SEA
White Sox's Hector Santiago: Following opener Tuesday
Santiago will serve as the primary pitcher Tuesday against the Indians, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
Carson Fulmer will serve as the opener before giving way to Santiago. Since moving to the bullpen in August, Santiago has posted a 4.76 ERA, 1.85 WHIP and 14:9 K:BB across seven appearances (11.1 innings).
