Imanaga (9-6) earned the win Tuesday against Atlanta, allowing three runs on five hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out two.

While he fell one strikeout shy of tying his season-low output, Imanaga extended his streak of quality starts to six. The left-hander has permitted more than three runs on just three occasions in 21 starts this season and has pitched at least five frames in all but two outings. Imanaga sports a 3.15 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 97:23 K:BB over 123 innings, and he'll be trying to add to his streak of quality starts in a rematch with Atlanta early next week.

Severino took a no-decision Tuesday against the Cardinals, allowing three hits and one walk in five scoreless innings. He struck out four.

Severino was likely working with a workload restriction in his first start since Aug. 5, although that didn't prevent him from delivering his first scoreless outing since May 17. The three hits allowed also matched a season best, and the veteran right-hander has now tossed at least five frames while yielding two runs or fewer in four of his last five appearances. Severino has a 4.65 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 107:45 K:BB over 141.1 innings, and he'll be looking to increase his pitch count next week against the Red Sox.

Mikolas (7-10) earned the win Tuesday against the Athletics, allowing one run on five hits and one walk with no strikeouts in six innings.

Despite the season-low zero strikeouts, it was still one of Mikolas' finer performances of the year. It was his eighth quality start in 2025, and it also marked his ninth time surrendering one earned run or zero this season. Mikolas will be trying to build on Tuesday's performance when he takes a 4.89 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 86:33 K:BB over 136.1 innings into his next outing, which is slated for next week against the Mariners at pitcher-friendly T-Mobile Park.

The Tigers will place Paddack on the bereavement list Wednesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Paddack will be away from the team for at least three days following a death in his family. Earlier Tuesday, the Tigers announced that Paddack had been demoted to the bullpen, and the right-hander was put to work right away. He retired just four of the 13 batters he faced in the Tigers' 12-5 loss to the Mets, allowing six earned runs on eight hits.

Freeland was ejected from Tuesday's game against the Giants after benches cleared during the first inning, Suzie Hunter of GuerillaSports.net reports.

Freeland's day came to an abrupt end after throwing just eight pitches and giving up a two-run homer to Rafael Devers without recording an out. The two players got into a heated exchange while Devers rounded the bases, which prompted a bench-clearing brawl that also led to ejections for Matt Chapman and Willy Adames. Freeland will carry a 5.41 ERA and 1.52 WHIP into his next start, and it remains to be seen whether he will receive further discipline from Major League Baseball.

Scherzer (back) is feeling better and is on track to make his regular turn through the rotation Saturday against the Yankees, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

The 41-year-old surrendered four runs over four innings Sunday versus the Brewers while pitching through upper-back tightness, but he's been able to go through his regular between-starts routine the past couple days. Assuming Scherzer has no further issues, he should be ready to go for Saturday's divisional matchup.

Burnes (elbow) is scheduled to throw a live batting practice session Tuesday and will throw another later in the week, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

The right-hander is working his way back from an elbow strain and appears to be on the cusp of returning to game action. If Burns comes out of his two sessions this week with no issues, and he could then head out on a rehab assignment before potentially rejoining the Reds in the second half of September.

The Twins will shut down Festa (shoulder) for the remainder of the season, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Festa pitched in a rehab game at Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday, striking out five batters and walking three over 2.2 shutout innings. However, he reported feeling renewed discomfort in his right shoulder afterward, so the Twins will now pivot and work to get the 25-year-old ready for next season. He'll close the book on 2025 with a 5.40 ERA and 1.28 WHIP to go with a 53:19 K:BB through 53.1 innings.

The Orioles reinstated Wells (elbow) from the injured list prior to his start Tuesday against the Padres.

Wells will make his season debut Tuesday after spending the year recovering from the UCL revision and brace augmentation procedure he underwent last June. The 31-year-old posted a 2.49 ERA and 1.11 WHIP alongside a 24:6 K:BB over 25.1 innings during his six rehab starts, and he built up to 6.1 frames during his most recent outing.

The Tigers removed Paddack from the rotation Tuesday and will deploy him out of the bullpen moving forward, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

The right-hander's demotion to the bullpen comes after he submitted a 5.40 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 14:5 K:BB over 30 innings since the Tigers acquired him from the Twins on July 28. Paddack will give up his spot in the rotation to Sawyer Gipson-Long, who was called up from Triple-A Toledo to start Tuesday's game versus the Mets.
