Gibson logged two innings of relief Tuesday against the Tigers and does not appear in line to make another start this season. He gave up one run on four hits and zero walks while striking out four and picking up the hold.

He had lined up to start Wednesday, but after Gibson was used in relief, it was announced that Randy Dobnak would start Wednesday on short rest. Gibson had an 8.02 ERA and 2.08 WHIP in 33.2 innings over his most recent eight appearances, so it makes sense that the Twins would move him to the bullpen at this stage of the season.

Odorizzi left Tuesday's game against the Tigers with a tight left hamstring and is day-to-day, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

He went out for the start of the seventh inning but injured himself warming up and left with the head trainer. Odorizzi gave up one run on two hits and one walk while striking out seven over six innings and left in line for the win. He was at 93 pitches so he might have been removed as a precaution. It is unclear if Odorizzi will be able to make his scheduled start on the final day of the season against the Royals.

Odorizzi left Tuesday's game against the Tigers with an apparent injury, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

He went out for the start of the seventh inning but something happened when he was warming up, because he then got a visit from the manager and head trainer and left with the trainer. Odorizzi gave up one run on two hits and one walk while striking out seven over six innings and left in line for the win. He was at 93 pitches so he might have been removed as a precaution.

Montas will start Wednesday's game against the Angels, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

This is the first day he is eligible to return from suspension, and the A's will waste no time handing him the ball. The team wanted to keep him working as a starter given the success he had in the role earlier this year. He is fully stretched out and obviously well rested. Montas is ineligible to pitch in the postseason.

Chirinos is expected to pitch two-to-three innings Tuesday against the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Chirinos returned from the injured list over the weekend, throwing an inning of relief against the Red Sox in his first appearance since the beginning of August. While he'll be allowed to pitch for longer Tuesday, the Rays will still keep an eye on his pitch count as he slowly builds back up following a lengthy stint on the IL. Brendan McKay will likely pitch multiple innings in relief of Chirinos.

Canning (elbow) was moved to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Canning had already been ruled out for the season due to elbow inflammation. This move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the Angels to claim Kean Wong off waivers.

Montgomery will start Tuesday against the Rays, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

The announcement is something of a surprise, as it was reported over the weekend that Montgomery wasn't likely to pitch again this season. He threw just two innings in his only appearance of the year back on Sept. 15, so it's likely that he'll be more of an opener than a starter on this occasion. The Yankees have yet to announce who will follow Montgomery as the bulk reliever.

Snell allowed one run on two hits and three walks while striking out three through 1.2 innings in a no-decision against the Red Sox on Monday.

Snell struggled with his command, allowing three free passes before being pulled in the second inning after allowing a run on a double. The Rays are still easing Snell back into his usual workload, and he was not expected to pitch more than a few innings. The 26-year-old has a 4.21 ERA with 143 strikeouts through 22 starts this season. Snell is scheduled to make his next start Sunday against the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre.

Chirinos is scheduled to start against the Yankees on Tuesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Chirinos returned from the injured list over the weekend, making an appearance out of the bullpen Saturday against the Red Sox and allowing one run while striking out two batters in one inning. The right-hander will likely work longer Tuesday, though he'll still be limited as he slowly builds back up following his lengthy absence. Brendan McKay, who was originally scheduled to start Tuesday, is a candidate to piggyback Chirinos.

Carrasco (6-7) picked up the win Sunday against the Phillies, allowing just one hit while striking out three batters across 2.2 scoreless innings.

Carrasco took over for starter Adam Plutko in the fifth inning with one out and runners at the corners and proceeded to get J.T. Realmuto to ground into an inning-ending double play to escape the frame with the game still knotted at one. The Indians scored three in the bottom of the inning and six more in the seventh as Carrasco cruised through the next two frames to pick up his sixth win of the season, and second since returning from the IL at the beginning of September. The right-hander appears to have found his footing after allowing at least one run in four of his first six appearances back; over his past three appearances, Carrasco has posted a 3:2 K:BB while allowing just one hit across five innings of relief.
