Bassitt did not factor in the decision during Tuesday's loss to Minnesota, allowing two runs on four hits and three walks while striking out six over 5.2 innings.

Bassitt worked through five shutout innings before yielding a two-run homer to Luke Keaschall in the sixth. Bassitt was in line for his first win since July 23 before Toronto's bullpen fumbled the lead. He's struggled with his command and control lately; Bassitt has walked multiple batters in five straight outings, registering a 27:14 K:BB over 27 frames during that span. In six starts since his last win, he's produced a 5.22 ERA, raising his season mark to 4.14 over 150 innings. Bassitt is lined up to start in Cincinnati next week.

Luzardo took a no-decision Tuesday against the Mets, allowing four runs on five hits and three walks in four-plus innings. He struck out five.

Luzardo made it through four scoreless innings to begin his outing, but the Mets got to him for four runs in the fifth. It was the southpaw's shortest start since July 4 against the Reds, which also disrupted his streak of five consecutive appearances of at least six innings. Luzardo has a 4.23 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 175:51 K:BB over 149 innings, and he's next set to take the ball against an Atlanta team that's slugging a pitiful .333 versus left-handed pitching since the beginning of August.

Ober did not factor in the decision during Tuesday's win over Toronto, allowing four runs on 10 hits while striking out three over five innings. He did not issue a walk.

Ober struggled early Tuesday, coughing up three runs in the first two innings. He served up two solo homers to George Springer, including one in his fifth and final inning of work. Ober is still searching for his first win since May 3 and would've fallen to 4-8 if not for a late comeback by the Twins. Since that last victory, he's 0-6 with a 5.83 ERA across 80.1 frames. For the year, Ober owns a 5.14 ERA with a 96:25 K:BB in 22 starts. He's currently projected to face the White Sox at home next week.

Manaea took a no-decision Tuesday against the Phillies, allowing two runs on six hits and no walks in 4.2 innings. He struck out eight.

Tuesday was a step in the right direction for Manaea, who had given up at least four runs in each of his prior four starts. The 33-year-old left-hander has not yet tossed at least six innings in any of his first nine outings this season, though he's fanned at least six on five occasions so far. Manaea will be looking to further improve on his 5.01 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 53:8 K:BB in his next appearance, which is tentatively scheduled for this weekend versus the division-rival Marlins.

Gore (5-13) allowed three runs on three hits and two walks over five innings Tuesday, striking out three and taking a loss against the Yankees.

All the damage against Gore came in the third inning when Giancarlo Stanton cleared the bases with a three-run double. Outside of that frame, only one other Yankee reached scoring position against Gore. He took his first loss since Aug. 5, and he's now 1-5 over his last eight appearances. During that span, he's produced a 7.54 ERA over 37 innings, driving his season ERA up to 4.15. Gore has walked multiple batters in three straight starts and now owns a 173:55 K:BB across 147.1 innings. He's in line for a home matchup with the Marlins next week.

Gil (2-1) allowed a run on five hits and four walks over five innings Tuesday, striking out five and earning a win over the Nationals.

Gil gave up one run in the third inning but was otherwise able to work around some traffic on the bases. He continues to struggle with his command; since making his season debut Aug. 3, Gil has walked at least three batters in four of his five appearances. However, he's allowed two or fewer runs in four consecutive outings. He generated 12 whiffs Tuesday, marking the second time he's forced double-digit swinging strikes this season. Gil is now sporting a 3.75 ERA with a lackluster 22:17 K:BB through 24 frames. He's currently lined up to face the White Sox in Chicago this weekend.

The Dodgers reinstated Snell from the paternity list Tuesday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

After heading out on paternity leave Saturday, Snell will now rejoin the team with plenty of time to spare before he makes his next start Friday against the Diamondbacks. The 32-year-old lefty gave up two earned runs over seven innings and took the loss during his last time out in San Diego, but he still boasts an impressive 1.97 ERA on the year through 32 innings across six starts. Alex Vesia (oblique) was placed on the injured list in a corresponding move.

The Padres optioned Sears to Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.

Three starts into his tenure as a Padre, Sears owns a 5.52 ERA and 1.50 WHIP with an 8:3 K:BB through 14.2 innings. With Michael King (knee) nearing a return from the injured list, Sears will lose his place in the MLB rotation, and the Friars will bring up Alek Jacob from El Paso to provide some extra depth out of the 'pen.

A second opinion on Roupp's left knee confirmed a deep bone bruise, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Roupp initially believed he had torn his ACL when he was struck by a comebacker last Wednesday, but his official diagnosis ended up being much less severe. He's expected to miss roughly four weeks, which could mean he's thrown his final pitch of 2025, but it leaves him in a much better position to begin the 2026 campaign at full health.

The Athletics placed Lopez on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a left elbow flexor strain.

Lopez's strained elbow played a factor in his performance in a loss to the Mariners on Sunday, when he surrendered nine earned runs in just two innings. The Athletics will shut down for a period of time before he's cleared to start a throwing program, though the team is optimistic that the 27-year-old southpaw will make it back before the end of the season, likely as a reliever. Mason Barnett was selected from Triple-A Las Vegas to take Lopez's place on the active roster, but the team hasn't yet announced who will replace Lopez in the rotation.
